<p>ENGINE WITH VAPOR HEAT TRANSFER CAPSULE FOR INTAKE MIXTURE HEATING An internal combustion engine is provided with a vapor heat transfer capsule mounted between the inlet and exhaust manifolds, below the carburetor, to transfer exhaust heat to the intake manifold air-fuel mixture. The heat transfer capsule includes boiler and condenser sections separated by a regulator plate that includes a vapor flow directing nozzle and a plurality of capillery passages for the return of liquid condensate. The regulator plate is insulated from the exhaust manifold, but is in heat exchange relation with the intake manifold to provide a path for the transfer of excess heat out of the condenser section.</p> |
