A vapor injector for use with a fuel combustion system which system has an air intake assembly and a combustion area. The vaporizer includes a platform floating on a reservoir of water. A vacuum chamber is defined by the platform and the surface of the reservoir. The volume of the chamber remains constant regardless of the level of the reservoir. The vaporizer is connected to the air intake assembly. A negative pressure is applied to the chamber and a saturated air stream flows from the chamber and into the combustion area.

An apparatus for adding water vapor to a fossil fuel combustion system, which system has an air intake assembly for introducing a flow of air into the combustion area of the combustion system, which comprises: a. a housing having a reservoir of water disposed therein; b. a platform disposed in the housing and in vacuum-sealing floating engagement with the reservoir, the platform including: i. a depending sleeve-like member fixedly secured to the platform and extending into the reservoir, the inner surface of the member and the upper surface of the reservoir defining a vapor chamber; ii. a depending tube-like member fixedly secured to the platform and extending through the vapor chamber and into the reservoir; c. first valve means to seal the tube-like member, said valve means in communication with the ambient environment, which valve means opens when there is a pressure differential between the vapor chamber and the ambient environment; d. second valve means to seal the vapor chamber from the ambient environment, said valve means adapted to open when there is a pressure differential between the vapor chamber and the ambient environment; e. a conduit secured to the second valve means and the air intake assembly of the combustion system; and f. means to create a pressure differential between the ambient environment about the housing and the vapor chamber to draw air through the first valve, through the water, and into the vapor chamber, forming a saturated air stream, which air stream flows through the second valve and into the air intake assembly.
