Evaporation chamber for fuel delivery systems

Claim 1

An improved evaporation chamber for a fuel system in an internal combustion engine for vaporizing fuel prior to introduction of the same into the carburetor, by heating the fuel with engine exhaust gases, comprising: an outer hollow housing having an inlet port for receiving exhaust gases and an output port for discharging said exhaust gases, with said inlet port positioned above said outlet port and in an opposite side of said housing to cause a turbulence of gas flow, with the surface of said outer housing having a network of heat conducting fins emanating therefrom into the exhaust gases and exteriorly of the housing. an inner hollow housing located in the hollow of said housing and in thermal contact therewith, said inner housing containing a stacked array of stainless steel heat conductive turnings within said hollow to provide a spongelike mesh array and first and second fuel injectors coupled to the top wall of said inner chamber for introducing liquid fuel within the hollow of said inner chamber and output means formed by and adjoining said bottom wall of said inner chamber for directing vaporized fuel to the carburetor of said engine due to the force of gravity as the liquid fuel flows from the top of said inner chamber into said turnings and out to vaporize and flow to said carburetor via said output means.
