Water/fuel oil emulsions are formed by a patented process of shear and cavitation. The emulsifying pump is installed in the fuel line and metered amounts of water are introduced to the inlet of the pump. The unique property of the EMULSA pump is that a very small micron size particle water bubble is formed and by a process of secondary atomisation, creates more complete burning within the cylinder and fuel which would otherwise be lost in the exhaust or as carbon deposits on the turbo chargers and valves and exhaust passages, are usefully burned. With heavy fuel oils, where the running temperatures are above 90 Cel, an open ventilated system is not able to be used, as the water in the Emulsion in the return line would flash off in the mixing tube. Modification to the fuel system is, therefore, necessary before the introduction of water emulsion in the fuel system.
