Patent ID: 8033167

Claim:
A system for providing a catalyst to a first flow of gas, the first flow of gas having an operating pressure, wherein a pipe carries the first flow of gas from a compressor of a turbocharger to a combustion chamber and the operating pressure of the first flow of gas varies in accordance with an operation of the compressor, the system comprising: an enclosure that receives a portion of the first flow of gas at the operating pressure; a pump positioned in the enclosure; and an atomizer; wherein: the pump receives from within the enclosure the portion of the first flow of gas; the pump provides the portion of the first flow of gas at a second pressure; any gas that exits the enclosure is provided by the pump at the second pressure; the atomizer receives a solution having the catalyst and provides a vapor having the catalyst; the portion of the first flow of gas at the second pressure carries the vapor out of the system and into the first flow of gas for delivery to the combustion chamber; and a magnitude of the second pressure comprises a magnitude of the operating pressure plus a magnitude of a pressure increase provided by the pump.
