Patent ID: 7044114

Claim:
A fuel conditioning device for increasing fuel burning efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions comprising: a) a hollow housing, said housing including: i) a first end for receiving a combustible liquid fuel supply and supplying it to an intermediate portion of said housing; ii) an intermediate portion comprising an eddy chamber for receiving fuel from the first end and creating turbulence and mixing within the fuel, said eddy chamber being designed for receiving at least one flow diverter for diverting at least a portion of the flow from the first end in a direction at an angle of from about 30 to about 90 degrees to an original direction of flow from the first end; and iii) a second end for receiving a compound venturi for accepting fuel from the intermediate portion; b) at least one flow diverter inserted into the eddy chamber for diverting at least a portion of the flow from the first end in a direction at an angle of from about 30 to about 90 degrees to an original direction of flow from the first end; and c) a compound venturi inserted into the second end of the housing for accepting fuel from the intermediate portion, said compound venturi comprising a central venturi for accepting a majority of the fuel provided by the intermediate portion and radial venturis for receiving a portion of the fuel from the intermediate portion and directing it in a direction at an angle of from about 30 to about 90 degrees to a longitudinal axis of the central venturi to create turbulence in fuel passing through the central venturi, said compound venturi being provided with an outlet end for connection to a conduit for passing fuel from the central venturi to a fuel combustion chamber.
