PRV Performance is seeking major automakers and Venture Capital partners to advance a patented fuel induction system from the prototype stage into a fully commercial design and support a marketing team to license the device to automakers worldwide. Nine prototypes have been driven and tested for over 20,000 miles.
Pintle-regulated Venturi (PRV) induction, with fuel injection directly at the Venturi throat, effectively mixes fuel and air due to the high velocity and reduced pressure at the vapor-liquid contact region, while pressure is recovered in the expansion section. Fuel vaporization in the confined Venturi volume amplifies air flow into the PRV entrance.
PRV improves fuel economy and increases engine torque by
- reducing throttle losses because of PRV respiration;
- vaporizing fuel in the Venturi throat reduces the air/fuel charge temperature, enhancing air flow into the engine; and
- improving mixing and fuel vaporization before the combustion chamber to preclude stratification on the cylinder walls.
Tests results from a Honda Civic revamped with a pintle-regulated Venturi fuel induction system demonstrate a 21% increase in highway fuel economy and a 15% increase in torque.
Finally, it is noteworthy to mention the PRV induction is complementary to hybrid technology.
