Abstract
A fuel heater for improving the fluidity of fuel, vaporization of fuel, and combustion of fuel to thereby minimize emissions and maximize power output for an engine includes a chamber in which a manifold is disposed such that a heat exchanger can extend therearound. The manifold includes openings for introducing fluid medium into the chamber which open in different directions thereby creating a more uniform turbulence in the chamber and enhancing the transfer of heat to the fuel. The arrangement of the manifold and heat exchanger increases the amount of heated fluid medium which comes into contact with the heat exchanger by overcoming the effect of boundary layers. The fuel heater includes a fuel mixing chamber and a fluid medium reservoir which are utilized to control the temperature of fluid medium entering the chamber and, accordingly, the temperature of fuel exiting the heater. The fuel heater includes various arrangements for providing heat to the fuel heater and control arrangements therefore.
