PORTABLE HYDROGEN SUPPLEMENTAL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOWERING PARTICULATE MATTER AND OTHER EMISSIONS IN DIESEL ENGINES AT IDLE

摘要

A portable on-demand hydrogen supplemental system is provided for producing hydrogen gas and injecting the hydrogen gas into the air intake of internal combustion engines for the purpose of increasing the combustion efficiency in the combustion chamber and lowering particulate emissions at idle. Hydrogen increases the laminar flame speed of diesel fuels, thus increasing combustion efficiency. Hydrogen and oxygen is produced by an electrolyzer from nonelectrolyte water in a nonelectrolyte water tank. The hydrogen gas is passed through a hydrogen gas collector. Nonelectrolyte water mixed with the hydrogen gas in the hydrogen gas collector is passed back thru the tank for distribution and water preservation. The system utilizes an an onboard diagnostic (OBD) interface in communication with the vehicle's OBD terminal, to regulate power to the system so that hydrogen production for the engine is adjusted based on the RPM level and operation conditions of the vehicle.

主权项

1. A portable hydrogen supplemental system for supplying hydrogen gas to an internal combustion engine comprising:
a housing unit; an electrolyzer mounted inside the housing unit that separates nonelectrolyte water into hydrogen and oxygen gas in response to electrical power; a nonelectrolyte water tank mounted inside the housing unit and positioned to supply nonelectrolyte water to the electrolyzer; a power supply for supplying the electrical power in the form of a voltage to the electrolyzer; and an onboard diagnostic interface for interfacing with an onboard diagnostic terminal of a vehicle or engine, for detecting operation of the internal combustion engine and an RPM level of the internal combustion engine; wherein the onboard diagnostic interface forms an electrical circuit for adjusting the voltage across the electrolyzer to thereby adjust the amount of hydrogen to be produced therein.
