KleenAir Systems Issued Patent on Sonic Flow Carburetor.Business Editors IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 26, 2002 Company's Patent-Protected Technology Well Fits Growing Government Regulations for Emission Control The selective and controlled use of electromagnetic, acoustic, or other emitters to optimize command and control capabilities while minimizing, for operations security: a. detection by enemy sensors; b. mutual interference among friendly systems; and/or c. While Improving Fuel Efficiency KleenAir Systems, Inc.(OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). BB:KAIR) announced today that Lester P. Berriman, Chairman of the Board and John M. Zabsky, Vice President of Engineering have been issued received U.S. patent #6,446,940 B1 for their Fuel-Air Mixer to be marketed under the name of the "Sonic Flow Carburetor". This technology will significantly improve fuel efficiency while reducing Carbon Dioxide carbon dioxide, chemical compound, CO2, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is about one and one-half times as dense as air under ordinary conditions of temperature and pressure. (CO2). The Sonic Flow Carburetor produces excellent: air/fuel mixture, air/fuel ration control, cylinder-to-cylinder distribution, lean misfire, low emissions and fuel savings of 5-20%. A unique application of the Sonic Flow Carburetor is as a dual fuel system for diesel engines. Using natural gas or propane fed into the engine in combination with the intake air and ignited by the injected diesel fuel (as little as 20% diesel is needed) results in reduced particulate matter particulate matter n. Abbr. PM Material suspended in the air in the form of minute solid particles or liquid droplets, especially when considered as an atmospheric pollutant. Noun 1. and other exhaust emissions. The Sonic Flow Carburetor is a variable venturi venturi a tube with a decrease in the inside diameter that is used to increase the flow velocity of the fluid and thereby cause a pressure drop; used to measure the flow velocity (a venturimeter) or to draw another fluid into the stream. operated under critical flow conditions. As a result the airflow through the throat is at sonic velocity and the conditions at the throat are a function of upstream conditions (atmospheric) and not downstream (manifold) conditions. The design of the venturi is such that the throat is maintained at sonic velocity over most of the engine's range of manifold vacuums and the ratio of vacuum at any position above the throat to the throat is constant. Thus fuel can be metered at any position above the throat and maintained at a constant Air/Fuel ratio. Therefore a simple float metering system or the vacuum signal can be used as part of a precise electronic metering system. Since the sonic velocity at the throat causes the fuel to be atomized to very small particles (about 20 microns) it results in a fine fog which flows uniformly to each cylinder enabling the engine to operate extremely efficiently at lean air fuel ratios. Tests have shown operations as lean as 30/1 with gasoline.
