HYDROCELL
The HYDROCELL system is a safe and reliable product designed exclusively for the Diesel Transport Truck market. The HYDROCELL draws only 25 Amps from the vehicles 12 Volt system and generates enough hydrogen through-out the entire RPM range to enhance combustion. GreenCell´s advanced feedback system monitors several conditions and adjusts the electrolysis process, to provide safe and efficient production of Hydrogen gas. The system was designed to operate in a temperature range of -40 to +60C and has an in-cab indicator to show system status. Installation requires no modifications to the engine and does not affect the manufacturer´s warranty. The only maintenance needed is the addition of distilled water every 250 hours of operation.
It has been proven in validated tests that adding Hydrogen to fuel in an internal combustion engine will increase the flame speed. At various RPM's, the fuel that is present in the cylinder is not completely burned during the combustion cycle due to the flame speed of petroleum based fuels and the amount of time the combustion cycle is allowed, due to engine speed and load.
The addition of Hydrogen gas increases that flame speed and allows for all the fuel in the cylinder to be burned during each combustion cycle. This increases the power produced during that cycle which results in a net savings in fuel use of 10 - 30%. Also Greenhouse Gas emissions are reduced significantly as the major cause of those emissions is un-burnt fuel in the exhaust.
The technology works better in diesel engines than gas engines because the modern fuel injected gas engine has a control system that monitors the oxygen present in the exhaust gas.
The addition of Hydrogen causes more oxygen to present in the exhaust due to the complete combustion; however, the controller reads this as the engine mix being too lean and therefore adds fuel to compensate. This will not help the fuel economy unless the controller is fooled into thinking this leaner ratio is acceptable.
· Average of 10%-30% Fuel Savings
· Produces Hydrogen on demand
· Operates only when engine is running
· Low Maintenance - requires water every 200 operating hours
· Fail-Safe design - stores no Hydrogen
