Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fuel injector assembly includes a first coil that induces a time varying magnetic field into a second coil that is utilized to heat fuel flowing through the fuel injector. A first coil receives a first signal from a driver to generate a first magnetic field that moves an armature between an open and closed position. The second coil generates a second magnetic field generated by a current induced by the first coil into the second coil. The induced current is generated by an alternating current signal that is interposed onto a direct current signal sent to the first coil. The alternating current signal produces a time varying second magnetic field that induces heating of a magnetically active component with the fuel flow that in turn heats the fuel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of heating fuel in a fuel injector assembly comprising the steps of: generating a first magnetic field in a first coil responsive to a first signal; generating a second magnetic field through induction without a wired connection in a second coil responsive to a second signal transmitted to the first coil; and inductively heating a tube portion of an armature moveable within a flow of fuel with the second magnetic field generated by the second co…
