Abstract
Improvements in method of simultaneous hydrogen production and emission control is disclosed as a device that is configured for hydrogen generation methods for auto, truck, and stationary engine use. This apparatus and method may be applied to any single or multi cylinder, rotary engine applications including but not limited to two-stroke, four stroke or multi-cycle and gasoline, diesel, turbine, air compressor and alternative dual fuel or hybrid applications.
Claims20
An apparatus for simultaneous hydrogen production and emission control comprising:
- an internal combustion engine where exhaust gases flow from an exhaust manifold port into an exhaust gas heat exchanger;
- a water tank that supplies water through a regulator into said exhaust gas heat exchanger to create heated water;
- said heated water flows through a conduit into a water jet nozzle;
- water from said water jet nozzle contacts an exterior of a cylinder wall of said internal combustion engine and turns into steam and is contained within a manifold;
- said steam passes through a port and into a steam diverter valve and into an interior of a reaction chamber jacket where said steam surrounds a reaction chamber;
- said steam then flows through a second regulator and back into said water tank, and
- a resulting product of gas hydrogen and unreacted steam flows into an intake of said engine and is used as fuel.
