Testing and Technology

The technology of using hydrogen as a combustion accelerator in internal combustion engines has been researched and proven for many years. The benefits are factual and well documented. Our own utilization of this technology. i.e. the hydrogen accelerator, has also been tested and proven in both commercial and consumer applications in actual road vehicles in a variety of temperate conditions.

After testing this technology* the American Hydrogen Association Test Lab proved that: “Emissions test results indicate that a decrease of toxic emissions was realized.” Again, zero emissions were observed on CO. Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. Vehicle subjected to dynamometer loading in controlled conditions showed improved horsepower and a drastic reduction of emissions.  * Hydrogen as a combustion accelerator 

VeHydro has conducted extensive testing in order to prove reliability and determine safety and performance of the components and the VeHydro system. As a result of these tests, we achieved important breakthroughs as far as the designs of the components were concerned. Design upgrades for the combustion accelerator have realized an increase in the hydrogen/oxygen production significantly. This has resulted in increased effectiveness on engine performance.

The results of these tests were able to confirm the claims made about this technology: the emissions will be reduced, the horsepower will increase and the fuel consumption will be reduced.

Lower Exhaust Emissions

Hydrogen burns more rapidly than hydrocarbon fuels because it is smaller and enters combustion reactions at higher velocity, has lower activation energy, and incurs more molecular collisions than heavier molecules. These characteristics make it possible to use mixtures of hydrogen with conventional hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline, diesel and propane to reduce emissions of unburned hydrocarbons. Transition from fossil fuels to renewable hydrogen by use of mixtures of hydrogen in small quantities with conventional fuels offers significant reductions in exhaust emissions. Using hydrogen as a combustion accelerator makes it possible for other fuels to meet future requirements for lower exhaust emissions.

Hydrogen - Combustion Accelerator

Mixing hydrogen with hydrocarbon fuels provides combustion stimulation by increasing the rate of molecular-cracking processes in which large hydrocarbons are broken into smaller fragments. Expediting production of smaller molecular fragments is beneficial in increasing the surface-to-volume ratio and consequent exposure to oxygen for completion of the combustion process. Relatively small amount of hydrogen can dramatically increase horsepower and reduce emissions of atmospheric pollutants.
