H2Diesel, Inc. has recently filed a patent titled “Method of Enhancing Diesel Fuel Combustion by Adding Reformed Hydrogen to the Diesel Fuel”.
The filing date for this patent is May 23, 2024. This innovation is attributed to the inventive efforts aimed at improving diesel engine efficiency and reducing emissions through novel use of hydrogen.
Unique Features and Improvements
The core of this patented method revolves around integrating hydrogen into diesel fuel to enhance combustion. Unlike traditional diesel fuel improvements, this method involves a multi-step process:
1. Extraction: Hydrogen gas is extracted from liquid diesel using a reformer or hydrogen generation system.
2. Integration: The extracted hydrogen gas is bubbled and agitated into the liquid diesel, producing a homogeneous mixture.
3. Compression: This homogeneous mixture is then compressed at high pressures.
4. Combustion: The pressurized mixture, along with air, is introduced into the combustion chamber for ignition.
This approach is unique because it directly reforms diesel into hydrogen within the fuel cycle, which could lead to better fuel atomization, more complete combustion, and reduced pollutant emissions.
