Abstract

The increasing industrialization of the world has led the demand of petroleum based fuels. Fossil fuels are obtained from limited reserves. Nowadays, more researchers focus on protecting the environment. So, use the hydrogen gas with diesel fuel in CI engine. The oxygen enriched hydrogen-HHO gas was produced by the process of water electrolysis. Hydroxy gas was produced by the electrolysis process of different electrolytes (KOH, NaOH, and NaCl) with various electrode designs in a leak proof Plexiglas reactor (hydrogen generator). This review paper presents the concern with the effectiveness of oxygen enriched hydrogen-HHO gas addition on performance and combustion characteristics of a CI engine with variable compression ratio. The effect will be shown on the CI engine of the brake thermal efficiency, carbon monoxide, un-burn hydrocarbon, and carbon dioxide and NOx emission with the use of HHO and a variable compression ratio.
