The flow of liquid coolant into the module is controlled by means of a temperature controller which senses the temperature of the coolant within the heating chamber and which controls the amount of coolant flowing through the heating chamber in response to the sensed temperature so as to control the amount of which is transferred to the gas flowing through the fuel supply module. | |
