Abstract:
A fuel state control unit for use with internal combustion engines can include a primary heating chamber, a secondary heating chamber, and an expansion chamber. The primary heating chamber has a fuel conduit through which fuel is conveyed. A heater in the primary heating chamber transmits heat to the conveyed fuel in the primary heating chamber. The heater is controlled to maintain a predetermined temperature of the fuel. The heated fuel from the conduit is conveyed into a secondary heating chamber. A pressure plate separates the secondary heating chamber from the expansion chamber. The ports of the pressure plate can regulate the flow of the fuel into the expansion chamber. The heated fuel in the expansion chamber can then be conveyed to an engine so as to increase engine efficiency and reduce the amount of pollutant gases in the engine exhaust.

Abstract:
An alkylaromatic dehydrogenation system is described. In addition, a method is described for monitoring an alkylaromatic dehydrogenation process comprising: drawing a sample from the process at a first sample point; passing the sample through an analyzer; and measuring the amount of at least one component present in the sample wherein the sample is at least partially uncondensed. An apparatus is also described for monitoring an ethylbenzene dehydrogenation process comprising a plurality of sample lines that are heat-traced sufficiently to inhibit condensation in the sample lines; and a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer comprising two sample cells wherein the ratio of the length of a first sample cell to the length of the second sample cell is from about 1:1000 to about 1:1.
