Abstract

A processor system and method for pretreating ALL FUELS prior to combustion of a any combustion device such as an engine in which fuel in a liquid state is contained in a high pressure chamber and superheated to a state of elevated temperature and pressure.super heated fuel is then injected into the combustion chamber for burning as demanded by the combustion device. This process holds true for ALL FUELS, Liquids, Gaseous, Pulverized Solids and Solids. Making it an Ideal UNIVERSAL self contained process that can be adapted to existing needs as well as new needs for total energy use. This Process will allow ALL FUELS to burn more cleanly and efficiently and will promote optimum combustion.

Claims

1. A process for the pre-treatment of fuels prior to combustion within a multi-chambered combustion device, comprising the steps of:

a) super pre-heating a fuel within a main chamber of said multi-chambered combustion device utilizing an internal electrical resistance induction element, said element located in a chamber within said multi-chambered combustion device thereby shielded from direct contact with said fuel;

b) selectively increasing the pressure of said temperature-elevated fuel within said main chamber by controlling the flow of said fuel moving through said multi-chambered combustion device;

c) keeping said elevated temperature constant within said multi-chambered combustion device utilizing said electrical resistance induction element, so as to further maintain an elevated pressure of said fuel; and

d) transferring said temperature-elevated fuel into a combustion chamber, said combustion chamber utilizing an electrical discharge element for combustion, said combustion chamber in fluid communication with said main chamber of said multi-chambered combustion device.

2. The process of claim 1 wherein said fuel is selected from the group consisting of liquid fuel, gaseous fuel, solid fuel, and finely pulverized solid fuel.

3. The process of claim 1 wherein said super pre-heating step (a) is carried out in a metal alloy enclosure cable of withstanding a high pressure and a high temperature.

4. The process of claim 1 wherein said selectively increasing the pressure step (b), further comprises the steps of:

a) withdrawing said fuel from a storage vessel; and

b) directing said fuel utilizing a pump through an inlet fitting on said multi-chambered combustion device.

5. The process of claim 1 wherein said keeping said elevated temperature constant step (c) is aided by a multitude of check valves on said multi-chambered combustion device.

6. The process of claim 1 wherein said transferring step (d) is achieved by a pump capable of performance at a high pressure and a high temperature.

7. The process of claim 1 wherein a tungsten porcelain electrical resistance induction heating element is responsible for said super pre-heating of said fuel.
