| Fuel atomizers in a current use are analyzed and certain outlines are proposed in order to raise the liquid atomization quality. Modified atomizer samples were designed and tested with water. Experimental data have shown that these samples can provide a fine liquid atomization and, as a result, improvement of the mixture quality in internal combustion engines with fuel injection. The proposed atomizer was tested in a Peugeot engine; the obtained results are discussed. It follows from the data that using of the modified atomizer in gasoline engines yields both decrease in air pollution and reduction in fuel consumption.
