Abstract:
1. An intake manifold system comprising: an intake manifold having an inlet and an outlet to permit air flow from the inlet to the outlet along a flow axis connecting the inlet and outlet; and a compressed natural gas fuel injector having an inlet and an outlet and a passage extending along a longitudinal axis from the inlet to the outlet, the fuel injector including a nozzle proximate the outlet and disposed in the intake manifold between the inlet and outlet so that when the fuel injector is actuated with pressurized gaseous fuel, at least a pair of diametrically opposed columns of gaseous fuel spray is dispersed orthogonally with respect to a longitudinal axis of the fuel injector and directed at an angle with respect to the direction of air flow along the flow axis through the intake manifold.
