HYDROGEN INJECTION
SYSTEMS
Hydrogen injection systems provide an
affordable alternative fuel delivery system that cleans up the
emissions of combustion engines. Hydrogen injection systems
provide a cost effective method of introducing the power and
efficiency of hydrogen as a fuel source. The addition of
hydrogen and oxygen into the combustion chamber burns the fuel
more completely resulting in lower emissions and an increase
in fuel economy. Adding hydrogen and oxygen to the fuel increases the rate of the burn, so
that almost all of the fuel is ignited - producing more power. Hydrogen injection systems provide a cleaner,
leaner burn, which gives you an increase in fuel efficiency.

There are several methods of injecting hydrogen into
internal combustion engines. While hydrogen gas is not yet a
marketable product for use in commuter transportation, it can
be used as a supplement fuel by taking advantage of on board
eletrical systems to power an electrolyzer that generates
hydrogen and oxy-hydrogen (Brown's Gas). The use of the
hydroxy actually decarbonizes the engine and increases fuel
effeciency by offering a more complete burn of the fuel load.
A huge benefit of the system is a massive reduction in
emissions as well.
While there is a desire to implement hydrogen injection
systems on all power systems, it appears that the most logical
installations will happen where there is a high use of fuel
and an escalated need to reduce emissions. The transportation
market (short and long haulers) seem to be the key target for
hydrogen injection systems. While there are technologies that
reduce emissions, they are extremely expensive and have a fuel
penalty associated with their use.

There are many companies that have
turned hydrogen generators into hydrogen injection systems for
the trucking industry. They do not appear to be taking any significant market share. Why
is that? Our theory is that their hydrogen
injection systems are being rejected as they do not provide
a rapid return on investment to the trucking companies. We feel
they are priced too high for what value hydrogen injection systems
bring to the customer. It is also important to note
that not a single hydrogen injection system is California Air
and Resource Board (CARB) certified. Our hydrogen injection system marries several technologies
together to maximize the hydrogen output as well as minimize
the impact of the on-board electrical systems. When we come to
market, you will see an advancement of the hydrogen injection
technology to bring a complete solution to industry need.

THINGS TO
CONSIDER BEFORE PURCHASING
Before
you can install a hydrogen injection system, you need to buy
or build a hydrogen generator. Many of the hydrogen injection
systems are under-powered to handle different engine
sizes. Logic dictates that a 15 Liter engine
requires more hydrogen than a 4 Liter engine yet
most hydrogen injection systems are designed to produce half a
liter to a liter of gas per minute. Starting with the
right size hydrogen generator is imperative for your
success. Before you purchase a system, you should
consider the following:
-
Do you want hydrogen
only generator or will you produce hydroxy brown's
gas?
-
How many liters per minute of gas does the hydrogen
generator need to produce?
-
Will the hydrogen generator be
stationary or mobile?
-
How many amps
are available to power the hydrogen generator?
-
How much space do you have to
house the hydrogen generator?
-
Do I want a
cylinder or rectangular hydrogen generator?
