Vaporized Fuel Injection System

Introduction

For many years, many innovative implementations of engine technology such as Gasoline Direct Injection are employed to improve fuel efficiency and to minimize pollution. In Gasoline Direct Injection System, gasoline fuel in liquid state is injected directly into the cylinder and is vaporized into gaseous state utilizing heat in combustion chamber. However, the vaporization of gasoline fuel will also cause the temperature in the combustion chamber to drop; therefore, not only gasoline fuel can not be 100% vaporized into gaseous state, but also vaporized fuel can not be ignited efficiently. Furthermore, GDI system does not re-use those 60% wasted heat energy that is dissipated from engine block and exhaust pipe to perform useful work to vaporize fuel externally and then injects vaporized fuel to the combustion chamber. In an endeavor to help meet stringent future emissions standards and growing environmental demands, there is a need to continue to explore a better and more efficient method in improving fuel efficiency and in minimizing pollution.

Currently, more than 87% of energy is dissipated or wasted in the form of heat, drive train loss, and idling loss. Among these energy loss, 62% loss is mainly heat loss. More detailed information of engine efficiency can be found at the site of Vehicle Technologies with link at:

Because engine inefficiency is mainly due to incomplete combustion and heat dissipation, an idea came up to me how to improve complete combustion and to recycle wasted heat energy to perform useful work.

How does my idea work?

My idea basically includes the following steps:

1) When vehicle with gasoline direct injection system starts up at cold temperature initially, switching valve switches at position P1 to proceed fuel injection via downstream injector 1 as usual, and my conceptual system will not work until temperature


inside vaporization chamber rises to minimum pre-determined temperature, Tmin, with regulated heating sources from exhaust pipe, engine block, radiator and etc.

2) When temperature rises to minimum temperature, Tmin, the upstream injector 2 will start injecting gasoline fuel into vaporization chamber until pre-determined gasoline vapor pressure, P1, in the vaporization chamber is reached.

3) When pressures rises to pressure P1, switching valve switches to position 2 to inject high-temperature gaseous gasoline fuel into combustion chamber for complete combustion.

4) When pre-determined gasoline residue (un-vaporized fuel) level, Lmax, is accumulated in vaporization chamber, switching valve switches to position 3 to inject high-temperature un-vaporized gasoline fuel, by means of gasoline vapor pressure in the vaporization chamber, into combustion chamber via a tiny duct that connects switching valve to the bottom of vaporization chamber. Upon entering lower-pressure combustion chamber by means of direct injection or port injection, this high-temperature, un-vaporized, highly pressurized gasoline will instantaneously change into gaseous state for complete combustion. 5) When pre-determined minimum level, Lmin is reached, switching valve will then switch back to position 2 to continue gaseous fuel injection.

Correspondingly, pulse width duration of downstream injector 1 is appropriately adjusted respectively for lean mix purpose as soon as 3-way switching valve switches to position 2 and position 3 with different parameters to increase fuel economy.

Renewable fuel such as ethanol and fossil fuel such as gasoline and diesel are working fine to VFIS. Theoretically, the higher temperature the fuel being heated to, the higher percentage the wasted heat energy being recovered.
