Title:
LIQUID VAPORIZATION AND PRESSURIZATION APPARATUS AND METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999005452
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A vaporization/pressurization module employs a porous member (14) having a low thermal conductivity and a substantially uniform, small pore size. Liquid feed (10) is introduced to the porous member (14) and is heated, vaporized, and pressurized within and/or on a surface of the porous member (14) to produce a vapor jet (22) having a pressure higher than that of the liquid feed. A substantially vapor impermeable barrier (26) facilitates accumulation and pressurization of the vapor, which is released from the module as a pressurized vapor jet from one or more restricted passages (22). The vaporization/pressurization module is especially useful for liquid fuel combustion applications.
