Add-On Hydrogen Units Reduce Diesel Use Up To 15 Percent
“Customers who add a HydraGEN™ unit to pickups, farm equipment, or semi-tractor diesel engines can expect a 5 to 15 percent fuel savings along with cleaner and smoother running engines with an ROI typically in 12 months or less,” says Ed Cordeiro, Americas Director of Sales at dynaCert. “A HydraGEN unit safely creates hydrogen on-demand by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen gasses as needed by the engine. There’s no on-board storage of hydrogen gas, which eliminates the need for pressure vessel tanks, making the system very safe.”
Cordeiro says the HydraGEN system improves combustion by providing hydrogen and oxygen gasses to a diesel engine’s air intake through a proprietary electrolysis process. Those gasses aid fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions by nearly 50 percent and NOx up to 88 percent.
Engine performance data is gathered by the company’s HydraLytica Telematics analytics software from the engine’s OBD port and can be monitored from a smartphone app or computer.
Cordeiro notes that the farming community has been impacted by carbon taxes and the added complexity and cost of pollution control equipment like DPF filters and DEF. The known benefits of adding hydrogen to enhance diesel engine performance has been studied since the 1960’s and Cordeiro says dynaCERT has spent 16 years and more than $60 million Canadian on research and development to bring their product to market.
Their HG1 model is suitable for 10-15L displacement semi-tractor or farm tractor engines. It retails for $6,500 U.S. plus installation. The smaller HG2 unit is suitable for 1-8L displacement engines.
The HydraGEN unit runs on 12-volt or 24-volt DC power and consumes 100 to 120W of power for the electrolysis system, heaters and climate controls. The unit needs to be refilled with 2 liters of distilled water after 50 to 80 hrs. of operation. Electrolytes need to be flushed and replaced once a year by a dealer, which typically takes less than an hour.
Cordeiro says both HydraGEN models can operate in temperatures from -40F to +122F because they have built-in heating and cooling systems that run automatically. Dealer locations are available on the company website.
