9 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.

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.

Burner and boiler provided with same

PCT designated stageWO2026018585A1Indirect carbon-dioxide mitigationGaseous fuel burnerCombustorVapor lock
The present invention provides a burner capable of suppressing thermal shock and vapor lock even when liquefied gas fuel is used. A burner (21) comprises: nozzle bodies (60) for injecting liquefied ammonia fuel (L) toward a furnace (11); and outer pipes (60c, 64c) for guiding, along the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle bodies (60), outside air (A2) having a temperature lower than that of combustion air (A1) flowing outside the nozzle bodies (60). The nozzle bodies (60) each comprise an inner tube (60b) and an outer tube (60c) disposed so as to cover the periphery of the inner tube (60b), and outside air (A2) is guided between the inner tube (60b) and the outer tube (60c).

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.
