Effectiveness of oxygen enriched hydrogen-HHO gas addition on DI diesel engine performance, emission and combustion characteristics
2013
Nowadays, more researches focus on protecting the environment. Present
investigation concern with the effectiveness of Oxygen Enriched hydrogen- HHO
gas addition on performance, emission and combustion characteristics of a DI
diesel engine. Here the Oxygen Enriched hydrogen-HHO gas was produced by the
process of water electrolysis. When potential difference is applied across
the anode and cathode electrodes of the electrolyzer, water is transmuted
into Oxygen Enriched hydrogen-HHO gas. The produced gas was aspirated into
the cylinder along with intake air at the flow rates of 1 lpm and 3.3 lpm.
The results show that when Oxygen Enriched hydrogen-HHO gas was inducted, the
brake thermal efficiency of the engine increased by 11.06%, Carbon monoxide
decreased by 15.38%, Unburned hydrocarbon decreased by 18.18%, Carbon dioxide
increased by 6.06%, however, the NOX emission increased by 11.19%.
