Fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine
Abstract
A fuel supply system (1O) for in interns combustion engine includes a housing (12) defining a chamber (14) and provided with an inlet opening (16) upstream of the chamber (14) and an outlet opening (18) downstream of the chamber (14). The fuel injector (20) sprays a fuel mist into the chamber (14). A heater (22) heats air flowing into the chamber (14) via inlet (16) to a temperature of between 110oC-260oC. Pressure within the chamber (14) is also negative relative to ambient pressure. The fuel sprayed into the chamber (14} via the fuel injector (20) is thermally cracked so that a mixture of thermally cracked fuel and heated air flows out from the outlet (18) for combustion in combustion chambers of the engine.
