Research and development of equipment for increasing energy efficiency and reducing emissions of internal combustion engines by adding hydrogen in the combustion process

TA01021601

The project's main objective is to research and develop a new type of onboard hydrogen generator based on the principle of water electrolysis as a supplement to petrol, diesel and gaseous fuels. The hydrogen generated in this way is then injected into the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine. It helps to make the fuel burn more efficiently, increasing the engine's thermal efficiency and reducing emissions. The solution will result in a working prototype device.

Parameters to meet the project objective:

Increase of combustion engine efficiency by at least 5%, reduction of existing media consumption by at least 10%, and reduction of particulate emissions from exhaust gases by at least 35%. The plant will substitute part of the carbon fuels of the combustion engine with its gas production, thus significantly reducing emissions and increasing the combustion engine's efficiency. This process can increase the energy efficiency of fuel use up to twice as much.
