PURPOSE: |
For heating diesel fuel during a cold season, improving the reliability of starting and operation of the fuel system at sub-zero temperatures. |
|
INNOVATION: |
Diesel engines consume about one-third less fuel than gasoline engines. Despite the obvious benefits, diesel engines have their own disadvantages. For instance, during the winter time it is an increase in fuel viscosity and its waxing. To solve this problem, the diesel fuel heating device is proposed. It provides step-by-step interaction of fuel with heat-exchange elements in such a way that during its flow the fuel keeps the contact with heating elements for a large period of time. As a result, the interaction time between the fuel and the heat source is increased and the reliability of starting a diesel engine in cold weather is improved. |
