13 results about "Vapor lock" patented technology

Vapor lock is a problem caused by liquid fuel changing state to gas while still in the fuel delivery system of gasoline-fueled internal combustion engines. This disrupts the operation of the fuel pump, causing loss of feed pressure to the carburetor or fuel injection system, resulting in transient loss of power or complete stalling. Restarting the engine from this state may be difficult.

Fuel supply device

To suppress vapor lock even when vapor is generated in a fuel supply device caused by the evaporation of fuel.SOLUTION: A fuel supply device (50) comprises a fuel pump (51) delivering fuel from a fuel tank to a fuel passage, a fuel filter (54) located on the downstream side of the fuel passage further than the fuel pump, a branch joint (61) located on the downstream side of the fuel passage further than the fuel filter, and a fuel injection valve (62) injecting the fuel from the downstream end of the fuel passage to an intake passage. In the branch joint, a pair of branch pipes are provided. To one branch pipe, a return pipe (73) is connected for returning the fuel to the fuel pump, and to the other branch pipe, a feed pipe (74) is connected for guiding the fuel to the fuel injection valve. One branch pipe is located at a position higher than the position of the other branch pipe.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

High pressure pump with bypass flow for LPG fuel

To prevent vapor lock in a high-pressure fuel pump delivering LPG in a liquid-phase to fuel injectors that inject liquid-phase LPG into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, a fuel system is configured to generate a continuous flow of LPG through the low-pressure side of the high-pressure fuel pump, with a return connection positioned to preferentially direct gaseous-phase LPG back to the fuel tank. A regulating valve in the return line maintains a predetermined fuel pressure at the inlet side of the high-pressure pump, which reduces fuel vaporization issues within the high-pressure pump.

Internal combustion engine

PendingCN122280679AControl theoryVapor lock
This invention provides an internal combustion engine that can suppress blockage of the oil inflow path caused by emulsions drawn into the filter and vapor lock caused by air drawn into the filter. In the internal combustion engine of this invention, the distance between the first intake port in the vertical direction and the lowest part of the oil pan is greater than the distance between the second intake port in the vertical direction and the lowest part. The valve position of the flow path switching valve can be switched between a first position and a second position. The first position is a position that connects the first intake port to the oil pump and disconnects the second intake port from the oil pump. The second position is a position that disconnects the first intake port from the oil pump and connects the second intake port to the oil pump. The control device switches the valve position to the first position (S11-S12) when the oil pump starts operating, and switches the valve position to the second position (S13-S14) after the internal combustion engine preheating is completed.
