Abstract
An HHO gas second fuel is produced in a pressure-resistant container and distributed at a low volumetric rate at multiple locations about the internal combustion engine.
Claims14
An apparatus for providing HHO gas to an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- an electrolysis cell that is configured to generate the HHO gas;
- an HHO gas pressure regulator that is configured to adjust a pressure of the HHO gas to a pressure level that is a fixed pressure amount from an intake manifold pressure of the internal combustion engine;
- a heat exchanger that is included in the HHO gas pressure regulator and that is configured to (i) receive the HHO gas and engine coolant of the internal combustion engine (ii) reduce a temperature of the HHO gas by a fixed temperature amount by exchanging heat between the HHO gas and the engine coolant;
- and
- a flow regulator that is configured to start and stop a flow of the HHO gas with the adjusted pressure and the reduced temperature to an injector of the internal combustion engine.

A method for providing HHO gas to an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- generating, by an electrolysis cell, the HHO gas;
- adjusting, by a gas pressure regulator, a pressure of the HHO gas to a pressure level that is a fixed pressure amount from an intake manifold pressure of the internal combustion engine;
- reducing, by a heat exchanger that is included in the HHO gas pressure regulator, a temperature of the HHO gas by a fixed temperature amount by exchanging heat between the HHO gas and engine coolant of the internal combustion engine;
- and
- starting and stopping, by a flow regulator, a flow of the HHO gas with the adjusted pressure and the reduced temperature to an injector of the internal combustion engine.
