Performance and emission analysis of an internal combustion engine with hydroxy gas assist

This research paper, published in Materials Today, combines theoretical and practical experimentations in the field of efficiency of combustion engines, with the purpose of reducing emissions, improving fuel economy, and reducing operating expenses. The claims made in the paper include significant improvement, due to hydroxy gas assist, in the thermal efficiency of the engine supplemented […]

Effect of hydroxy (HHO) gas addition on performance and exhaust emissions in compression ignition engines

To study the effect of hydrogen premix on exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, hydroxy gas (HHO) was produced by the electrolysis process of different electrolytes (KOH(aq), NaOH(aq), NaCl(aq)) with various electrode designs in a leak proof plexiglass reactor (hydrogen generator). Hydroxy gas was used as a supplementary fuel in a four cylinder, four stroke, compression […]

Experimental studies hydrogen premix on the effect of TBC piston in a dual-fuel diesel engine

Oxy-hydrogen gas (HHO) is a carbon-clean alternative fuel like hydrogen and is composed of hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 2:1. The significant properties of hydrogen (which is present in HHO) such as high octane rating, better mixing characteristics, high diffusivity, high flame speed also ensure its possible use to run a compression ignition […]

Progress in emissions reduction and new product introduction

To our Stakeholders, thanks for your guidance, your wisdom, and your material support during 2021. Here are some quick figures to recap the progress made by ANTISMOG team during the year, quantified and measured in terms of documented reduction of emissions, recognised customer success, and delivered new product introduction (NPI) activities: Customers achieved emissions reduction […]

Emissions reduction technology at firefighters congress

ANTISMOG team demonstrated its emissions reduction technology at the yearly Firefighters’ Congress in Marseille. In addition to reducing the risk for the personnel from Particulates and NOx in the ambient air, the firefighters and ambulances users appreciated the reduced maintenance costs and lower downtime rates, due to reduced EGR valve and DPF failures. Our partner […]

Aéroports Côte d’Azur becomes first carbon-neutral airport group in France

This case study is about a major airport using hydrogen technology to reduce its carbon footprint and achieve a prestigious environmental accreditation. According to French Civil Aviation Authority, until recently, there has never been such a high level of mobilisation relating to sustainable development in the air transport industry. The last few years saw projects [...]Read MoreCategory: Case StudiesTagged air pollution, airport, diesel engine

Experimental comparison of pure hydrogen and HHO (hydroxy) enriched biodiesel (B10) fuel in a commercial diesel engine

Highlights Effects of H2 and HHO to performance and emissions of a diesel engine are examined. Fossil fuel dependency reduced at volumetric ratio of 10% by using biodiesel. Fuel pump plunger pin was re-set and diesel fuel injection has been decreased. In terms of exhaust gas emissions, H2 + B10 provided better results than HHO + B10. Engine performance […]

Experimental investigations on performance, emission and combustion characteristics of Diesel-Hydrogen and Diesel-HHO gas in a Dual fuel CI engine

Abstract Stringent emission norms being followed throughout the world increases the demand for clean and green fuels. Gaseous fuels like compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and hydrogen are promising alternatives to conventional diesel and gasoline. The use of hydrogen in the IC engine has gained interest among researchers as it can be […]

Environmental effect on health: Air pollution and smoke

This review has covered a wide range of environmental health problems. Air pollution often caused by presence of the smoke of the exhaust, infant and adult vulnerability, cytokines related to interleukin-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, tobacco smoke and neonates, women, and their families, and perinatal outcomes are among the key results. Cases of patients with asthma […]
