Abstract
A multi-chamber assembly safely stores enhancement gas for efficient and complete combustion of a carbonaceous fuel is presented. The multi-chamber assembly safely stores the enhancement gas, for example, for use by the internal combustion engine such as an internal combustion engine of a vehicle and/or a generator.
Claims20
A multi-chamber assembly for safe generation of an enhancement gas, comprising:
- a plurality of reusable containing components, at least one of the plurality of reusable containing components dividing an interior of the multi-chamber assembly into a plurality of chambers including a first chamber and a second chamber, at least one of the plurality of chambers at least partially containing an electrolysis cell, the electrolysis cell configured to generate at least one component of the enhancement gas thereby at least in part causing pressurization of a contents of the multi-chamber assembly;
- and
- a pressure relief system configured at least to:
- retain the plurality of reusable containing components in a substantially fixed configuration when the contents of the multi-chamber assembly are below a relief pressure;
- and
- enable reuse of the reusable containing components at least in part by releasing at least part of the contents of the multi-chamber assembly when the contents of the multi-chamber assembly are greater than or equal to the relief pressure.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of reusable containing components, at least one of the plurality of reusable containing components dividing an interior of the multi-chamber assembly into a plurality of chambers including a first chamber and a second chamber, at least one of the plurality of chambers at least partially containing an electrolysis cell, the electrolysis cell configured to generate at least one component of an enhancement gas thereby at least in part causing pressurization of a contents of the multi-chamber assembly;
- a pressure relief system configured at least to:
- retain the plurality of reusable containing components in a substantially fixed configuration when the contents of the multi-chamber assembly are below a relief pressure;
- and
- enable reuse of the reusable containing components at least in part by releasing at least part of the contents of the multi-chamber assembly when the contents of the multi-chamber assembly are greater than or equal to the relief pressure;
- and
- a controller configured at least to control an electricity supply to the electrolysis cell to maintain a pressure of the contents of the multi-chamber assembly below the relief pressure.
