The potential application of HHO technology in diesel generators
It’s no secret that HHO or what is commonly known as Brown’s Gas has been used in diesel and gasoline fueled engines in vehicles such as cars, minivans, trucks, trailers, cranes, and excavators. But many are not aware of the potential use of HHO in diesel generators. From the definition of diesel generators on Wikipedia, “A diesel generator is the combination of a diesel engine with an electrical generator (often called an alternator) to generate electrical power. Diesel generator sets are used in places without connection to the electrical grid or as an emergency power source if the grid fails. Small portable diesel generators range from about 1 kVA to 10 kVA and can be used as power sources on construction sites, or as auxiliary power for vehicles such as mobile homes.”
THE RIGHT DIESEL GENERATORS FOR POTENTIAL HHO APPLICATIONS
But currently we are talking about larger diesel generators of 100 KVA and above that are typically used to power buildings such as roadside rest areas, telecommunication towers, cement hoist cranes on construction sites, etc. Most of these types of diesel generators run daily for 12 to 24 hours, with the users themselves spending thousands to tens of thousands of dollars a month to maintain their operations that rely on off-grid electricity.
THE END OF CHEAP OIL BECOMES AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM
Let’s take a look at the current problem with these particular diesel generators. It may have been a time during the era of cheap oil; people would not be bothered by the high use of diesel fuel in diesel generators to generate electricity for use at their facilities. In mid-2008, oil peaked at over $100 a barrel, causing an uproar from companies that rely on diesel fuel for their diesel generators. That would have caused an increase in the operating cost that will deeply affect the profits of companies that depend on the electricity generated by Diesel Generators.
WASTE OF MONEY ON INEFFICIENT AND INCOMPLETE FUEL COMBUSTION IN DIESEL GENERATORS
Many may not be aware of this, due to prolonged use of engines in diesel generators, be it two months or more, engines, just like any other internal combustion engine, would build up carbon deposits and cause incomplete combustion of the fuel. Therefore, there is no doubt that Diesel Generators are using much more fuel than they need to generate electricity. Waste is estimated to be at least 20 percent, which is a large sum of money in the long run; it could be up to thousands of dollars a month. Like any department in a company, efficient operations would save any businessman time and money. This proves to be true even for the efficiency of a diesel generator as well. Without a doubt, as mentioned by many, the main objective of any business owner to survive the current economic downturn is to develop more efficient, profitable and efficient operations.
LISTENING TO THE ENDS OF BOTH EXPERTS DOES NOT DISCOVER THE TRUTH OF HHO TECHNOLOGY
There are views that automotive and fuel technology have been deliberately withheld and people have been kept in the dark about amazing inventions and discoveries. They blame the big oil companies. IMO HHO or Browns Gas is one of those “fuel technologies” but I disagree that this technology is being held back but less researched due to skepticism from a large number of people. “Experts” would theorize and build hydrogen generators as the commonly known “electrolyzers” and make exaggerated claims of 50% to 70% even twice the mileage of a car. While other “experts” would theorize and refute HHO or Brown’s Gas technology, commenting on said technology as scams. They are the extremes of both; however, there are several others like us who would apply this technology to discover the truth.
THE POTENTIAL OF HHO TOWARDS DIESEL GENERATORS CAUGHT OUR ATTENTION
In this article, I will not go into more detail about HHO or Brown’s Gas and would assume that the reader has a basic understanding of this technology before reading this. From personal experiences of installing Hydrogen Generators or commonly known as “Electrolyzers” in Diesel Generators of 100 KVA and above, we ourselves were surprised by the fuel saving results in those Diesel Generators. Results of course vary for diesel generators, but what stood out to us was that the minimum savings for diesel generators was 30%.
Here are the other comments from the owners of the diesel generators during the test.
1) The engine runs smoother
2) Less dangerous carbon emissions
3) The gradual increase in fuel economy (as internal engines become cleaner due to complete combustion)
NO MORE INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION OF FUEL FOR ALL DIESEL GENERATORS
This has solved the main problems of incomplete fuel combustion for all diesel generators. From the complete combustion of the fuel, there were significant carbon deposits in the engines, allowing for more efficient engine performance for the diesel generators.
HOW HHO ASSISTS IN THE COMPLETE COMBUSTION OF FUEL IN DIESEL GENERATORS
Hydrogen Generators or “Electrolyzers”, through an electrolytic process, hydrogen and oxygen (known as Brown’s Gas) are separated from distilled or reverse osmosis water and supplied to the Diesel Generator intake manifold through the vacuum generated by the engine. The HHO or Brown’s Gas is then combined with the diesel fuel and dramatically improves combustion. About 45% of diesel is normally burned during combustion. With HHO that jumps to 90%.
The HHO inside the Diesel Engine
1) Intake (air and hydrogen intake cylinder)
2) Compression (the mixture is heated)
3) HHO compressed air piston
4) Ignition (fuel added, combustion)
5) Faster Record, Faster Release – More Power
6) Exhaust (Expelled Gases)
7) Less emissions from cleaner exhaust gases (less carbon deposits)
STEPS TO INSTALL HYDROGEN DEMAND SYSTEMS TO DIESEL GENERATORS
The installation process is much easier than in diesel cars. In fact, it takes only one hour while the diesel generator is running.
1) Identify the battery (12 volt/24 volt). This is to identify the type of hydrogen generator needed to operate. For example, once we have identified that a diesel generator is powered by a 24 volt starting battery. We will select the Hydrogen Generator that operates at 24 volts.
2) Identify the location of the air gap (intake manifold). A hole is made by drilling and the elbow tube is fixed and glued for tube insertion.
3) A location is identified to place the hydrogen generator.
4) The wiring harness including the provided fuse, relay, relay plug and wires is used to install the hydrogen generator.
5) The source of electricity will be taken from the alternator through the wiring configuration (positive wire of the hydrogen generator)
6) The Earth source will be taken from any part of the motor body of the Diesel Generator (Negative Hydrogen Cable)
7) Distilled or reverse osmosis water and catalyst are filled into the hydrogen generator
8) The electrical current that flows inside the Hydrogen Generator is adjusted to 12 amps with an estimate of 3 liters of Gas per Hour.
CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE TO SOLAR AND WIND ENERGY
It is best not to take our word for it or listen to any “experts” who theorize and refute the claims. We recommend that the reader himself should try to get involved in this HHO technology, especially in diesel generator applications. As we have discovered, diesel generators are one of the most suitable in HHO applications due to the consistency of engine operations compared to vehicles which are highly dependent on road conditions and driving habits of the drivers. users. Users living off the grid are known to rely heavily on diesel to generate electricity for 12 hours or more. There are proposals for solar power and wind turbines to combine their use with diesel generators to further reduce the cost of operation. However, it is the high cost of pre-investment that leaves the user in doubt about its payback period of a few years. HHO or Brown’s Gas is the cheaper alternative that allows users to save a large part of their money in one to two months of return on investment (ROI). The manufacturing and deployment of hydrogen generators are much more profitable than the manufacturing and deployment of solar panels and wind turbines.
