Consumo de um motor à diesel associado com gerador de hidrogênio

Abstract

Currently, Cycle Diesel engines are more used in the agricultural production and transportation sectors. Its economy impacts on the price of almost all the other sectors, they are production of foods, clothes, equipment, appliances or any other sector that depends of some transport. The objective of the present paper consists of using an electrolytic cell that produces hydrogen in the form of HHO from distilled water with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), through the electrolysis, with the intention of associating the same with a diesel engine, with the purpose of reducing diesel consumption by the engine. Where was evaluated the diesel consumption of the engine without the association of the cell, with the association of the cell and if there is really a differentiation in the consumption of diesel by the engine associated with the cell of hydrogen. As a result, it has been observed that the use of hydrogen in the form of HHO gas in diesel cycle internal combustion engines is efficient and can generate significant fuel economy, once the solution used is water + sodium hydroxide.
