Gasoline powered Internal Combustion Engines pollute the atmosphere because they burn only the lightest fractions of gasoline. It is possible to more completely vaporize gasoline before it reaches the intake manifold than is done with a conventional carburetor or fuel injection system. The gasoline engine runs more efficiently and there is less exhaust pollution as a result of more complete combustion of gasoline.
Enclosed is a paper on vaporizing gasoline in internal combustion engines by use of radiator heat and mechanical action. The conventional carburetor vaporizes only a small fraction of the distillates in gasoline; the remainder enters the intake manifold as droplets of gasoline and leaves the exhaust manifold of the engine as unburned hydrocarbons. (i.e. pollution) The simple method discussed in this paper uses a heat exchanger to volatize those elements of the gasoline that will vaporize at temperatures of @150 degrees Fahrenheit and below, and feed them in to the carburetor for dispersal in to the intake manifold. It will result in a greater efficiency of combustion of the engine, and a sharp reduction of pollutants. This design is meant for use in stationary engines, such as an irrigation pump or an electric AC generator, for example. Perhaps it could be used in an on-board generator/recharger for the new electric vehicles. Construction plans given are only as an example-over 500 US patents on these types of systems are cited, spanning the time period from 1997 to 1900. George Wiseman's system is crude, and capable of a great deal of refinement-the gasoline vaporizer invented by the Canadian inventor CN Pogue in the late 1930's using exhaust heat to vaporize-as the majority of these patents do- is several orders of magnitude more efficient. Our article was written for persons wishing to apply the principles described and develop them-it are not a theoretical paper. It is practical "hands on" engineering and is for the scientist as well as for the educated layperson-the farmer who wishes to improve his/her equipment. A history of gasoline vaporization is given, and over 37 references from scientific journals are cited. The article is in MSDOS Text Format With Line Breaks. It is packed in the downloadable file 'Vaporcarb.zip' , and is called "VAPOURDOS.txt". There are two illustrations, FIGONE.GIF and FIGTWO.GIF. There is also an identical HTML version-Vapourgas. HTM. (When viewing the HTML file, put copies of FIGONE.GIF and FIGTWO.GIF in the same folder/file as Vapourgas.HTM.)
