Abstract:
A high efficiency method for atomizing a liquid fuel comprising:providing a liquid fuel; increasing the volume and decreasing the viscosity of said liquid fuel to thereby provide an expanded, less viscous fuel composition; causing said expanded, less viscous fuel composition to flow into and through a first elongated port in an atomizing tip; causing pressurized atomizing fluid to flow into and through a second elongated port in said tip, said first port being disposed at an angle relative to said second port and arranged in intersecting relationship relative to the latter; whereby said expanded, less viscous fuel composition is introduced into said second port at an angle and contacted therein by-pressurized atomizing fluid so as to atomize said fuel composition and provide an admixture comprising atomized fuel and atomizing fluid; and discharging said admixture from said second port.
