NATURAL GAS AND INTAKE AIR MIXER FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

A natural gas mixer for an internal combustion engine includes a mixer body and a mixer element supported in a mixer passage formed in the mixer body. The natural gas mixer attaches to an intake manifold at a first end and receives intake air at a second end. A distal end of the mixer element accepts natural gas from a manifold passage extending from a port positioned in the intake manifold. The natural gas flows through the mixer element and then through a plurality of openings formed in an exposed proximate end of the mixer element. The natural gas mixes with the intake air, and the mixture of intake air and natural gas flows from the second end of the mixer body to the first end of the mixer body and then to the intake manifold.
