Abstract: Systems and methods for injecting and mixing a liquid hydrocarbon fuel to provide a uniform, homogenous fuel vapor mixture for introduction into a fuel reformer for use with a fuel cell are disclosed. Preferably, the system includes a fuel injector that generates and aspirate a liquid fuel in the presence of an atomizing gas stream; a diverging-converging mixing chamber, into which the atomized fuel and a secondary fluid stream are introduced, to enhance the mixing of the fuel and the added heated gas or steam; and a mixer/swirler, which can be centrally located in the mixing chamber between the upper and lower chambers, to stabilize the fuel vapor mixture further for greater uniformity and homogeneity. More preferably, grooves and/or brazed wires can be provided on the surfaces of the mixing chamber and/or mixer/swirler to channel any accumulated fuel so as to provide sufficient time to evaporate the accumulated fuel.

Abstract: An atomizer including a fuel output portion shaped to provide a fuel output and an air swirler portion shaped to direct streams of air at the fuel. The air swirler portion includes an outer opening and an inner opening located radially inwardly relative to the outer opening. The inner and outer openings are arranged such that an air stream passed through the inner opening does not intersect a conical section defined by an air stream passed through the outer opening unless both of said air streams are moving at least partially radially outwardly.

Abstract: A coating formulation for application to surfaces associated with combustion, such as fuel injectors, and surfaces subjected to elevated temperatures, such as fuel supply components, to prevent the deposition at high temperatures of carbon or graphite on such surfaces, such as stainless steel and alloyed steel compositions. The coating formulation forms a thin layer of polymer coating on the surface by chemical grafting involving the use of a graft initiator to create active bonding sites, on the metal surface, for the silicone-based prepolymer to undergo polymerization on the metal surface. The bonding and polymerization are completed in a single application process without using complex equipment. The coating and process helps surfaces associated with combustion and surfaces subjected to elevated temperature reduce carbon or coke formation at temperatures up to 700° F. and thereby improves the durability and performance of those surfaces.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing gas and/or fuel swirlers for fuel injectors and combustor domes and cone-shaped swirlers so manufactured are disclosed. The disclosed conical swirlers feature cut-through slots on a cone-shaped body. The contour and spacing of the slots are configured and arranged to accommodate a wide range of requirements for fluid flow areas and swirl strengths. Preferably, the cone-shaped swirlers can be manufactured by wire EDM processing. More preferably, multiple cone-shaped swirlers can be manufactured simultaneously by nesting swirler blanks in a stack and wire EDM processing the stack as a unit. The cone-shaped pinwheel swirler fits well into various fuel injector heads, enabling the injectors to reduce the frontal surface area and flat area for minimal potential of carbon formation.
