Abstract:
The basis for the Intake Air Pre-Heater Assembly For Automotive Gasoline Engines is my understanding and experience with automotive gasoline engines. It has been mentioned in the automotive industry that only half of the energy in a gallon of gasoline is used to move the vehicle down the road. Another 25% is transformed and lost to heat and the rest is blown out the tail pipe as unburned fuel even if the engine is at a running temperature of 180 degrees. It is common knowledge that heat speeds up the vaporizing of gasoline and that a lot of fuel is lost during the first 10 minutes the engine is running (cold start). I am sure this is true for any automotive gasoline engine including the multiple fuel injector engines that are the majority of of the automotive engines in the world today. I believe this invention will help reduce this waste of energy and it can easily be installed by the average do it your self person and commercial auto garage mechanic.
