Abstract

The reserve of petroleum over the world is limited. It is very important to save petroleum fuels or find some substitutes. The oxygen enriched hydrogen-HHO gas was produced by the process of water electrolysis. Hydroxyl 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 SI engine with variable compression ratio. The effect will be shown on the SI engine of the brake thermal efficiency, un-burn hydrocarbon, NOx emission, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide with the use of HHO and a variable compression ratio.
