Augmentation system for reaction engine using liquid fuel for cooling

Claim 1

IN AN AUGMENTATION SYSTEM FOR A REACTION ENGINE UTILIZING A SUPPLY OF LIQUID FUEL FOR COOLING AND INCLUDING A VAPOR FUEL INJECTOR AND A LIQUID FUEL INJECTOR, (A) A FLOW DIVIDING MEANS HAVING AN INLET MEANS AND FIRST AND SECOND OUTLET MEANS, SAID INLET MEANS BEING CONNECTED TO THE LIQUID FUEL SUPPLY TO RECEIVE LIQUID FUEL THEREFROM, SAID FLOW DIVIDING MEANS PROPORTIONATELY DIVIDING THE LIQUID FUEL INTO FIRST AND SECOND SELECTED QUANTITIES, (1) SAID FIRST SELECTED QUANTITY OF LIQUID FUEL BEING SUPPLIED AT SAID FIRST OUTLET MEANS AND BEING AT LEAST A PREDETERMINED MINIMUM AMOUNT AND (2) SAID SECOND SELECTED QUANTITY OF LIQUID FUEL BEING SUPPLIED AT SAID SECOND OUTLET MEANS, (B) A VAPOR FUEL SYSTEM INCLUDING FIRST MEANS FOR SUPPLYING COMPLETELY VAPORIZED FUEL TO SAID VAPOR FUEL INJECTOR AND (C) A LIQUID FUEL SYSTEM INCLUDING SECOND MEANS FOR SUPPLYING COMPLETELY LIQUID FUEL TO SAID LIQUID FUEL INJECTOR, (D) SAID FIRST MEANS INCLUDING, (1) HEAT EXCHANGE MEANS HAVING A VARIABLE RATE OF VAPORIZATION OF AT LEAST A PREDETERMINED MINIMUM AMOUNT, SAID HEAT EXCHANGE MEANS HAVING AN UPSTREAM CONNECTION AND A DOWNSTREAM CONNECTION, SAID UPSTREAM CONNECTION BEING CONNECTED TO SAID FIRST OUTLET MEANS OF SAID FLOW DIVIDING MEANS TO RECEIVE SAID FIRST SELECTED QUANTITY OF LIQUID FUEL WITHIN SAID HEAT EXCHANGE MEANS FOR COMPLETE VAPORIZATION THEREOF, SAID VAPOR FUEL INJECTOR BEING CONNECTED TO SAID DOWNSTREAM CONNECTION OF SAID HEAT EXCHANGE MEANS TO RECEIVE THE COMPLETELY VAPORIZED FUEL THEREFROM FOR ESTABLISHING A PILOT FLAME AT VGUTTERS IN A COMBUSTION ZONE, AND (2) SENSING MEANS IN THE CONNECTION BETWEEN SAID HEAT EXCHANGE MEANS AND SAID VAPOR FUEL INJECTOR, SAID SENSING MEANS BEING CONNECTED TO SAID FLOW DIVIDING MEANS FOR ADJUSTMENT OF THE PROPORTIONAL DIVISION EFFECTED THEREBY SUCH THAT SAID FIRST SELECTED QUANTITY OF LIQUID FUEL IS SUPPLIED AT A RATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SAID VARIABLE RATE, (E) SAID SECOND MEANS CONNECTING SAID LIQUID FUEL INJECTOR TO SAID SECOND OUTLET MEANS OF SAID FLOW DIVIDING MEANS TO RECEIVE SAID SECOND SELECTED QUANTITY OF LIQUID FUEL THEREFROM, SAID LIQUID FUEL INJECTOR BEING DISPOSED CLOSELY ADJACENT SAID VAPOR FUEL INJECTOR SUCH THAT SAID SECOND SELECTED QUANTITY OF LIQUID FUEL IS INJECTED BY SAID LIQUID FUEL INJECTOR SUBSTANTIALLY DIRECTLY INTO SAID COMBUSTION ZONE.
