Abstract

A fuel vaporizer including a mist vaporizer and a boiler, the boiler being integrated with the mist vaporizer, the mist vaporizer and the boiler including a housing, baffles joined to the housing, conduit extending through the baffles, fuel in a mist form adjacent the conduit and a pool of fuel contained between the housing and baffles.

Claims (39)

1. A fuel vaporizer, comprising:

a mist vaporizer comprising:

a housing joined to baffles, the housing and baffles defining a plurality of chambers, and

conduit extending through the baffles and chambers; and

a boiler, the boiler being integrated with the mist vaporizer.

2. The device of claim 1 further comprising:

at least one turbulator, the turbulator being joined to the conduit.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein the conduit is a matrix of conduit.

4. The device of claim 1 wherein each chamber is sized and adapted to hold a pool of fuel.

5. The device of claim 4 wherein the housing, baffles and conduit are simultaneously a mist vaporizer.

6. The device of claim 4 wherein the conduit is a matrix of conduit.

7. The device of claim 4 wherein the baffles define apertures on opposing portions of adjacent baffles.

8. The device of claim 1 wherein the vaporizer defines an exhaust inlet chamber and an exhaust outlet chamber.

9. The device of claim 8 wherein the exhaust inlet chamber and exhaust outlet chamber are in fluid communication through conduit.

10. The device of claim 1 wherein

the baffles define apertures, the housing, baffles and apertures define at least a portion of a fuel passageway; and wherein

the conduit is configured to be in thermal communication with exhaust and is further configured to be in thermal communication with fuel in a mist form.

11. A fuel vaporizer, comprising:

a mist vaporizer; and

a boiler being integrated with the mist vaporizer, the boiler comprising:

a housing joined to baffles, the housing and baffles defining a plurality of chambers, and

conduit extending through the baffles and chambers, each chamber sized and adapted to hold a pool of fuel, the.

12. The device of claim 11 wherein the baffles define apertures on opposing portions of adjacent baffles.

13. The device of claim 11 further comprising:

at least one turbulator, the turbulator being joined to the conduit.

14. The device of claim 11 wherein the vaporizer defines an exhaust inlet chamber and an exhaust outlet chamber and wherein the exhaust inlet chamber and exhaust outlet chamber are in fluid communication through conduit.

15. The device of claim 11 wherein baffles define apertures, and the housing, baffles and apertures define at least a portion of a fuel passageway; and wherein the conduit is configured to be in thermal communication with exhaust and configured to be in thermal communication with fuel in a mist form.

16. A fuel vaporizer, comprising:

a mist vaporizer comprising:

a housing;

baffles, the baffles joined to the housing and the baffles defining apertures, the housing, baffles and apertures defining at least a portion of a fuel passageway; and

conduit extending through the baffles, the conduit being in thermal communication with exhaust and being in thermal communication with fuel in a mist form; and

a boiler, the boiler being integrated with the mist vaporizer.

17. The device of claim 16 wherein the housing and baffles define a plurality of chambers; and

the conduit extending through the baffles and chambers, each chamber sized and adapted to hold a pool of fuel.

18. The device of claim 16 wherein the baffles define apertures on opposing portions of adjacent baffles.

19. The device of claim 16 further comprising:

at least one turbulator, the turbulator being joined to the conduit.

20. The device of claim 16 wherein the vaporizer defines an exhaust inlet chamber and an exhaust outlet chamber and wherein the exhaust inlet chamber and exhaust outlet chamber are in fluid communication through conduit.
