<p>A hydrogen augmented diesel crankcase ventilation system uses hydrogen to allow crankcase fumes, for example blow-by, to be burned by an engine 10. The system preferably includes a hydrogen generation system 26 as a hydrogen source connected to an engine air intake 13 by a first hose 28, a second hose 32, 52 connecting the crankcase 16 to the air intake 13, and a third hose 20, 48 connecting a fresh air source 40 to the crankcase 16. An orifice or a vacuum regulator 38 in cooperation with the second hose 32 may be included to regulate crankcase vacuum. A filter 36 may reside inline with the second hose 32, 52 to capture solids or liquids which enter the second hose 52 from the crankcase 16. A back flow preventor 44 may be included in cooperation with the third hose 20, 48 to prevent a back flow of crankcase fumes through the third hose 20, 48.</p> |
