EasiHydrogenator - How It Works

The Hydrogen generation process

• The de-ionised or distilled water from the water tank is separated in to its 2 component gases Hydrogen and Oxygen.
• This is done by the Hydrogen generator. The Oxygen produced is vented off into the atmosphere. The pure Hydrogen gas is then stripped of any water moisture and sent to the internal combustion engine air intake manifold.
• The amount of "On-demand" hydrogen required by the engine is controlled by the patent pending Hydrogen control unit.
• The unit constantly monitors and regulates the production of Hydrogen to suit the demands of the engine.
• The Hydrogen gas is then injected in to the engine air intake, in the correct proportions.
• Typically, Heavy Goods Vehicle customers or operators can achieve fuel savings in the range of 8-15% depending on the type of engines and work load patterns.

How does it save fuel and money?

• Hydrogen is a very flammable gas and only small amount of hydrogen is required to produce the catalytic effect of better combustion.
• When it is injected into a normal combustion engine, it increases the flammability of the normal fuel air mixture.
• As the fuel in the engines cylinder is now more flammable it both burns more efficiently and also cleaner and produces more torque. Over time, this translates to lower fuel consumption.
• This cleaner and better combustion of the fuel means that you get more energy out of the fuel that you are using.

What can you expect to see?

• Improved fuel efficiency - use less fuel for each journey
• Lower exhaust emissions - see reductions in harmful gases from the engine (NOX/CO/CO2/PM)
• Increased power & torque - get the same power output using less accelerator / throttle
• Reduced fuel costs - Save up to 15% in fuel using only distilled water

What is different about the Easi-Hydrogenator

• The generation of Hydrogen is done in a different way using Space Age technology. It does not use the traditional electrolysis method to produce the hydrogen like most other systems that are available in the market today.
• No chemicals are required for the Easi-Hydrogenator to work, only de-ionised or pure distilled water.
• Electrolysis systems are prone to overheating and may need to stop the Hydrogen generation process while it cools down or fail or breakdown altogether.
• The generation of Hydrogen is almost instant and does not need any start up time before the gas starts being injected into the air intake of the engine.
• The Easi-Hydrogenator is a true "On-demand" Hydrogen generator. It only generates what the engine needs and varies all the time while the vehicle engine is running.
• Some other systems generate Hydrogen at their maximum volume constantly all the time irrespective of whether the engine RPM and load requirements.
• If the engine starts & stops frequently, they Easi-Hydrogenator will also stop and start without delays compared to other systems already in the market today.
• An in-cab display shows how much Hydrogen is generated by the unit with various alarm modes for over-pressure in the pipe system, water tank low or water stripper tank full.
• The Easi-Hydrogenator is one of the most compact design in the market place today and the 12L tank can supply "On-demand" hydrogen for between 4-6 weeks depending on the weekly mileage or operational pattern.

Is it safe to mount the Easi-Hydrogenator to the vehicle as Hydrogen gas is a very combustible gas?

The Easi-Hydrogenator is designed using space age technology and does not require the build up of pressure inside the cell before deliverying the Hydrogen gas and hence its compact design. There is no storage of Hydrogen gas inside the unit other than the small amount of gas in the small pipe leading to the air intake manifold. In the unfortunate event that the vehicle is involved in an accident on the road, there will be no gas explosion due to the Easi-Hydrogenator.

What vehicles can I use it on?

• The Easi-Hydrogentor has been designed for the commercial diesel engine vehicles. Currently this is for the Heavy Goods Vehicle market only. The Unit for the Van and smaller trucks will be available at a later date.
• It will work on any diesel engine or any internal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels.
• For example diesel, petrol, and also gases such as propane and natural gas will benefit from the Easi-Hydrogenator

How do I know whether the Easi-Hydrogenator works or not?

• A lot of fuel saving device companies or suppliers make claims of fuel savings arbitarily or without being able to prove to the customer accurately the fuel savings that can be achieved or achieved or if any.
• For customers who want to evaluate or trial our Easi-Hydrogenator product, we usually recommend the installation of our accurate Swiss made diesel flowmeter and our GPRS data logger called the Bluebox to transmit fuel consumption data collected to our internet reporting system. If the customer pays for the Easi-Hydrogenator, Btrack will normally provide the Fuel Monitoring system free of charge excluding installation costs for a test period of up to 3 months. Customers can log into our internet reporting system to see the performance of their test vehicle "Live".
• Sample reports that can be obtained from the Btrack .
