Patent ID: 8677980

Claim:
A fuel conditioning and combustion chamber feeding system for an internal combustion engine, comprising: a fuel conditioning vessel, a fuel inlet for dispensing fuel into the fuel conditioning vessel, and at least one carbon dioxide inlet port for feeding liquid carbon dioxide into the fuel conditioning vessel; a liquid carbon dioxide source in a siphon tube tank; a carbon dioxide line fluidically connecting an outlet port of the carbon dioxide source with the carbon dioxide inlet port in the fuel conditioning vessel; a low-pressure fuel pump fluidically connected between a fuel source and the fuel conditioning vessel for providing fuel as required to maintain a supply of fuel as consumed by the engine and for forming a carbon dioxide in liquid fuel solution; a high-pressure fuel pump for raising pressure to a high level P 3 exceeding a pressure P 4 present in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine at the moment of injection and a liquid/carbon dioxide fuel solution supply line fluidically connecting an outlet port of said fuel conditioning vessel to an inlet port of said high-pressure fuel pump; a fuel supply system for feeding conditioned fuel in the form of the liquid/carbon dioxide fuel solution from said high pressure fuel pump to fuel injectors for injection at a pressure P 3 exceeding a pressure P 4 present in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine at a moment of injection; a flow meter adapted for measuring fuel consumption; a valve adapted to regulate the amount of carbon dioxide admitted to the conditioning vessel, the valve being controlled by the flow meter; and in which the conditioning vessel includes a passage that is at least ten feet in length, the fuel conditioning vessel having dimensions of less than eighteen inches.
