Design of Generator HHO Dry Cell Type and Application on 110 Cc Engined Vehicles Towards Gas Emissions

Abstract

The HHO generator is a tool that works on the principle of water electrolysis to produce HHO gas, which is a gas consisting of 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen molecule where the gas can be used as fuel. The number of holes on the plate electrodes affects the amount of discharge and the efficiency of the HHO generator. Therefore, a study was conducted regarding the number of holes on the electrode plate. The parameters measured were voltage, electric current, electrolyte temperature in the reservoir tank, electrolyte temperature in the HHO gas cylinder, and the HHO gas discharge. Whereas what is calculated is the power required for the HHO generator, the production rate, and the efficiency of the HHO generator. Furthermore, the HHO generator was applied to a 110cc vehicle to measure the level of exhaust emissions. Based on the results of the study, the best variation of HHO generators is found in the hole plate electrode 2 with the required power of 180.78 watts and an efficiency of 63.8%. The lowest CO emission levels were in the 2 holes variation, namely 4.01%, and the lowest HC emission levels were in the 4 holes variation, namely 892 ppm.

A Review of the Effects of Plate Configurations and Electrolyte Strength on Production of Brown Gas Using Dry Cell Oxyhydrogen Generator

“…This makes dry cells considerably safer than wet cells. Only the gap between the electrodes is filled with electrolytes, and the reaction process only takes place inside the closed electrodes [30]. Figure 1(a) shows the wet cell oxyhydrogen generator while Figure 1(b) shows the dry cell oxyhydrogen generator.…”

Oxyhydrogen Gas Production by Alkaline Water Electrolysis and the Effectiveness on the Engine Performance and Gas Emissions in an ICEs: A Mini-Review

“…The electrolyte only fills the gap between the electrode themselves as shown in Figure 3. The advantages of dry cell HHO generators include i) waterless electrolysis, where only water is trapped between the cell plates; ii) minimum heat generation due to hot and cold-water circulation inside the HHO generator; iii) the smaller electric current used due to electricity is converted to less heat [50][51][52][53][54]. The advantage and disadvantages of the dry and wet cells for HHO production were listed in Table 3.…”

“…Due to the volumetric size of the electrolyte within the closed chamber, a dry HHO cell has various advantages, including requiring less current per cell and being cheaper than wet cells. Recently, HHO dry cell generator designed and applied to 110 cc engine vehicles to reduce gas emissions was done by Puspitasari et al, [51]. They focused only on the number of holes on the electrode plate.…”
