Abstract

Abstract An antidetonant injection system for use in an internal combustion engine system having a novel valve in which the amount of antidetonant allowed to flow through the valve is directly related to the amount of engine demand ranging from zero flow when the engine is idling to maximum flow when the engine is at full throttle or under maximum load.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 200 words
A valve comprising: an outlet passage being adapted to be connected to a source of vacuum in an intake manifold of said engine; a first inlet passage adapted to be connected to a supply of antidetonant fluid; a second inlet passage having an air filter for the purpose of allowing the entry of filtered air therein; a third inlet passage adapted to be connected to a PCV valve; a fluid mixing chamber into which antidetonant fluid and filter air flows; a moveable fluid mixing control means located in said fluid mixing chamber; a biasing means operatively associated with said fluid mixing control means for moving said fluid mixing control means at predetermined vacuum conditions; said moveable fluid mixing control means having a first position in said fluid mixing chamber wherein no antidetonant fluid nor filtered air can flow through said outlet passage; said moveable fluid mixing control means having a plurality of positions other than said first position wherein a mixture of antidetonant fluid and filtered air is allowed to pass through said outlet passage, said mixture having different ratios of antidetonant fluid to filtered air; and said third inlet passage being in continuous fluid communication with said outlet passage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 200 words
A valve comprising: an outlet passage being adapted to be connected to a source of vacuum in an intake manifold of said engine; a first inlet passage adapted to be connected to a supply of antidetonant fluid; a second inlet passage having an air filter for the purpose of allowing the entry of filtered air therein; a third inlet passage adapted to be connected to a PCV valve; a fluid mixing chamber into which antidetonant fluid and filter air flows; a moveable fluid mixing control means located in said fluid mixing chamber; a biasing means operatively associated with said fluid mixing control means for moving said fluid mixing control means at predetermined vacuum conditions; said moveable fluid mixing control means having a first position in said fluid mixing chamber wherein no antidetonant fluid nor filtered air can flow through said outlet passage; said moveable fluid mixing control means having a plurality of positions other than said first position wherein a mixture of antidetonant fluid and filtered air is allowed to pass through said outlet passage, said mixture having different ratios of antidetonant fluid to filtered air; and said third inlet passage being in continuous fluid communication with said outlet passage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said moveable fluid mixing control means is a ball shaped member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 12 words
The device of claim 2 wherein said biasing means is a spring.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
The device of claim 3 wherein a valve seat is provided upon which said ball sits when in said first position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 40 words
The device of claim 4 wherein said first and second inlet passages are located on one side of said valve seat and said third inlet passage and said outlet passage are located on the other side of said valve seat.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 28 words
The device of claim 5 wherein said spring provides a force acting to push said ball off of said valve seat in opposition to forces on said ball.
