Water Injection
of Internal Combustion Engines
|
|---|
Water injection and steam injection have long been used to
improve engine performance and fuel economy, but interest seems to run
in cycles and little has come to notice since the early 1970s.
I was working for a racing car manufacturing company (BPG
Engineering Co Ltd), but I was introduced to the topic by a racing
mechanic from Sheffield, whose name, I regret, I have forgotten.
Robert Mann, is a gent that has similar interests and he
sent, by Email, a copy of a magazine article that he had written. I
liked it immensely and have published it on a page accessible via the
link.
There is a technique that is new to me, but one which appeals to my sense of
'rightness'. The water and fuel are introduced in what is effectively a two stage
carburettor. I have done no tests on this system, which is the intellectual property of Aspen Engineering
Services, whose web pages give more details.
