A piston slidably received in a tubular housing is movable in response to the instantaneous flow of intake air to vary the number of small diameter tubes through which fuel can be jetted under the influence of a variable electrostatic force induced by the application of a variable high voltage across an electrode immersed in the fuel upstream of the nozzles and an electrode arranged about and spaced from the tubular housing.

Electrostatic fuel atomizing apparatus for internal combustion engine

A fuel supply control system comprising an electrostatic apparatus which produces an electric field in a section of a fuel discharge passage to cause a variation in the fuel flow rate in this section, a flow rate detector to provide a feedback signal representing an actual fuel flow rate and an electronic controller which controls the strength and/or polarity of the electric field so as to cancel any deviation of the detected actual fuel flow rate from an optimum flow rate determined by sensing some variables related to the operating condition of the engine.

Feedback fuel supply control system having electrostatic flow rate

A reactor is made deformable by thermal stresses, as the construction thereof includes accordion type portions. The reactor comprises an inner core shell containing inlet and outlet pipe sections formed integral therewith, and extending outwardly through an outer core shell to an outer shell member. Each shell member consists of first and second shell counterparts which may be fixed together in a common plane.

Exhaust gas reactor for internal combustion engine and its manufacturing

An exhaust cleaning system for use with an automotive multiple-cylinder internal combustion engine including first and second groups of engine cylinders which are to be alternately fired, comprising a thermal reactor composed of an outer tubular structure formed with a first group of exhaust inlet ports leading from the first group of engine cylinders and a second group of exhaust inlet ports leading from the second group of engine cylinders, an inner tubular structure positioned within the outer tubular structure and formed with openings, and at least one air-injection nozzle opening in a longitudinal end portion of the interior or a re-combustion chamber of the inner tubular structure, wherein exhaust gases from each of the first group of engine cylinder are fired in the vicinity of the nozzle openings with the agency of secondary air injected from the nozzle and exhaust gases from each of the second group of engine cylinders are fired by the resultant hot gases advancing through a hot zone of the re-combustion chamber. Additional secondary air and/or secondary fuel may be admixed to the exhaust gases preferably during low-load condition of the engine when the temperature of the exhaust gases lowers.

Exhaust cleaning system for internal combustion engine

An elongate outer hollow member encloses an elongate inner hollow member to form an annular passage therebetween which communicates with an exhaust gas inlet of the outer hollow member. The inner hollow member has a combustion chamber defined therein, a plurality of ports formed through a closed upstream end portion and opening from the exhaust gas inlet into the combustion chamber for injection of a portion of exhaust gas thereinto and a plurality of ports formed through a side portion and opening from the annular passage into the combustion chamber for injection of the remaining portion of exhaust gas thereinto. An secondary air injection means is disposed in the combustion chamber adjacent to the closed end portion and upstream of the ports in the side portion for injection of secondary air into the combustion chamber.

Thermal reactor

Reaction heat generated by oxidation in presence of an oxidation catalyst maintains a sufficient after-burning temperature during low engine load operation.
