RESERVOIR FOR VAPORIZED LIQUID FUEL

摘要

A vapor reservoir adapted for use in conjunction with a vaporized liquid fuel system for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The reservoir includes a movable wall member cooperative with means defining a housing to establish a variable volume vapor storage space. The movable wall member is referenced to the pressure of the air immediately upstream from the intake to the air and fuel metering portion of the engine. The housing includes a generally downwardly depending condensate collecting and return section. Vapor delivery conduits are positioned within the housing and support a thermally floating finned member operative to disperse vapor delivered to the vapor reservoir. The movable wall member is provided with position sensing means operative to provide an input to an electrical circuit for controlling the rate of vapor delivery to maintain a predetermined quantity of vapor within the vapor space.
