Abstract

The research introduces a technical solution that is aimed at the decrease in toxic emissions, better smog tests, and less fuel consumption in an internal combustion engine of vehicles as a result of using aluminium and hydrogen technologies. This problem is solved due to a newly developed aluminium and hydrogen generator that operates on the basis of a chemical process of hydrogen formation by hydrolysis of aluminium. A one-line diagram of the aluminium and hydrogen generator operating with an internal combustion engine of a vehicle using the example of a diesel engine is presented. The main feature of the combined operation of an aluminium and hydrogen generator and an electric power plant is that hydrogen is generated aboard a vehicle and is directly transferred to the internal combustion engine using the two following ways: When the engine is idle, hydrogen is piped to the air collector; when the engine is operating, hydrogen is mixed with the fuel and hydrogen-enriched diesel fuel is supplied to the diesel engine. On the basis of the experimental research carried out using a laboratory tractor diesel engine D-242, positive results were received in terms of lower fuel consumption of diesel fuel and toxic emissions and a better smog test of an internal combustion engine (hereinafter referred to as ICE) of a vehicle.
