Functions Of Fuel Additives As Vaporizers
There are many companies that are working on increasing the fuel efficiency of both gasoline and diesel based engines. This is being done by using fuel additives that will help decrease emission of toxic gases. These additives will also boost the performance of the engine. |

The latest mechanism involves inducing the suitable additives in gaseous state directly into the air steam that enters the engine. This amplifies the process of complete burning in the internal combustion engines. Studies have shown that working of a fuel can be enhanced if a vaporized additive is introduced in it. This additive can be water or an alternative fuel. The working of a fuel vaporizer is very simple. By adding vapor to the combustion mixture, the rate of burning of the fuel is minimized. This results in higher compression ratios. Use of simple water vapor can achieve this even in gasoline fuel, instead of lead compounds. If the vaporized water is pumped at a high temperature, it will accelerate a thorough vaporization of the fuel being used. Consequently, a complete combustion takes place that checks the release of too much exhaust emissions from the vehicles.
The advantage of using vapors of fuel additives is immense. For example, alcohol is used as a fuel additive in gasoline. But in its liquid state it can be added only in a limited quantity. This restriction is removed if alcohol is used in the vapor state. This is an excellent way of controlling exhaust emissions from vehicles. Various mechanisms have been sought to introduce vapor in the air stream of the engine. However, no one method has been agreed upon. This is mainly due to the limitations of the engine. Besides, only a few of these mechanisms have actually worked out in practical application of the theory. Some have only given marginally positive results. It is very important that when a vapor is added, it be supplied at a controlled rate. Also, this rate of supply needs to be altered depending on the speed at which the engine operates. Hence, it becomes necessary that we find the perfect operation that easily facilitates the addition of fuel vapor additives.

Diesel is considered as having highly complex properties. The reason for this is that its chemical properties undergo changes from the time it leaves the refinery, is delivered at gas stations and is filled in the vehicles.
