Abstract: A rotor-type carburetor is provided with a specially designed spray ring which centrifugally discharges atomized fuel droplets in two different sizes for mixture with engine-ingested air traversing the interior of the carburetor and driving its rotor section. Larger droplets are forced outwardly through an annular series of discharge openings formed in the ring, while smaller droplets are formed by the passage of fuel over an annular spray edge extending around the bottom of a radially inwardly bent lower end portion of the ring. This simultaneous formation and discharge of two series of differently sized atomized fuel droplets improves the overall performance of the engine and reduces the level of its emission pollutants. The spray ring also functions to automatically vary, in a predetermined manner, the flow rate relationship between the differently sized fuel droplets as a function of engine speed to further enhance engine performance.

Abstract: An improved rotor-type carburetor for use with an internal combustion engine is provided which, in one embodiment, is adjustable to selectively vary its constant fuel-air ratio by axially moving an internal body portion thereof relative to the turbine rotor assembly of the carburetor. Alternatively, the constant fuel-air ratio of the carburetor may be altered simply by replacing such internal body portion with a differently configured one. Undesirable fuel delivery from the turbine rotor to the engine during turbine spin-down is significantly diminished through the use of an internal fuel reservoir structure, formed within the carburetor body, which functions to capture and retain unneeded fuel discharged from the rotor during turbine spin-down periods. During turbine spin-up periods (e.g., when the engine is being started) the reservoir-retained fuel is released into the engine's incoming air stream to hasten fuel delivery to the engiune during initial portions of turbine spin-up periods.

Abstract: Gases that are to be scrubbed, particularly flue gases, pass through an inlet line (14) into a processing area (9) wherein the gases are exposed to the effects of a scrubbing agent that is contained in a bath (4).

The gas scrubber can trap sulfur dioxide that is contained in the flue gases. To this end, water is used as the scrubbing agent, and sodium carbonate (soda) is added to this.

The system involves a non-venturi type of carburetor having a metered inlet and means for controlling the pressure of each fuel delivered to the inlet in accordance with the stoichiometric ratio of that fuel which assures that the proper fuel/air ratio is delivered to the mixing chamber of the carburetor without requiring any change in either the carburetor or engine when a different fuel is used. Additionally, the fuel delivered to the fuel inlet is then directed into the fuel/air mixing chamber without subjecting the fuel to the suction in the intake manifold of the engine.

Abstract: Liquid fuel is converted into gaseous form in an enclosed chamber rotating at high speed (e.g., 10,000 rpm). The fuel is delivered to a surface of a flat disc rotating about an axis perpendicular to the disc at the center. The fuel flows across the disc surface in a thin film to promote evaporation. Any unevaporated liquid fuel is retained by centrifugal force against the peripheral outer wall of the rotating chamber until the liquid completely vaporizes. The evaporated fuel mixes with air flowing into the chamber through an inlet opening opposite the disc evaporating surface. The mixture flows outwardly, around the edge of the disc, then inwardly between the back of the disc and the upstream edge of an annular baffle to exit from the chamber through an outlet opening of significantly smaller diameter than the maximum inner diameter of the chamber as a thorougly mixed dry gaseous combination of fuel and air.

Abstract: The annulus (20) around the fuel feed stud (8) which seals the rotor (14) of this central injection device is connected to a stowage compartment (40) for intake air by way of a ball bearing (7). In the case of the impeller (31, 35) driven rotor (14), the stowage air pressure counteracts the leakage fuel pressure in the annulus (20). By adapting the width of the opening of the stowage compartment (40), the stowage air pressure is adjusted to be equal to or slightly higher than the leakage fuel pressure, so that no fuel can flow out of the annulus (20). To enrich the fuel of the air-fuel mixture in the higher load range, a width of opening of the stowage compartment (40) is provided where the stowage air pressure at the corresponding RPM's becomes smaller than the leakage fuel pressure and the rotor (14) delivers additional fuel.
