A fuel conditioning system ( 10 ) comprises a housing ( 12 ) defining a chamber ( 14 ) and provided with an inlet ( 16 ) upstream of the chamber ( 14 ) and an outlet ( 18 ) downstream of the chamber ( 14 ). A hemispherical seat ( 20 ) is formed in the housing ( 10 ) with a first end ( 22 ) in communication with the inlet ( 16 ), and a second end ( 24 ) in communication with the chamber ( 14 ). A valve body ( 26 ) is received within the seat ( 20 ) and is moveable between a closed position and an open position where the valve body is spaced from the inlet ( 16 ) to allow air to flow into the chamber ( 14 ). A spring ( 32 ) biases a valve body at a pressure of approximately one atmosphere toward the closed position. Fuel is sprayed from a plurality of jets ( 72 ) formed in the seat and laterally relative to the flow of air past the valve body. |
