Abstract

Research and development work on hydrogen technology has been done since from 18 centuries. Innovative ideas have been put forward; recently, using hydrogen or hydrogen-rich gas as a secondary fuel for engines is one of the solutions for improving brake thermal efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and pollution emissions from internal combustion engines. Theoretical studies have been performed on HHO fueled internal combustion engines. In an HHO production system HHO gas is produced by electrolysis of water, which is a mixture of 2/3 of hydrogen and 1/3 of oxygen bonded together molecularly. This article gives a review of the effect of HHO gas addition on engine performance and emission characteristics.
