Study on Gas Emission of Saline Water from a Hydrogen System

Abstract

The crisis of global pollution is increasing dramatically. Thus, energy generating processes through the use of natural resources such as water, sunlight, air or minerals from the earth with low gas emission are becoming more and more important. The objective of this study is to produce hydrogen through electrolysis of saline water on a vehicle capable of delivering positive impact on emission reductions. The hydrogen produced would support the petrol system used in combustion engines. The prototype model of the hydrogen engine is fabricated to become a hydrogen generation system, which is reliable in meeting the basic needs of the internal continuously burning combustion engine. This process occurs continuously to help the petrol engine system and to reduce the emissions. Then, by using the prototype, the exhaust gas from the combustion engine is analysed to evaluate the engine performance and also to diagnose the gas emission. Four different combination modes of hydrogen and petrol have been tested in order to get the best combination that may lead to lowest fuel consumption and low level of pollution. Based on the analysis done, a combination of 75% petrol and 25% hydrogen gas shows a low level of harmful gases pollution and this combination of 75% is good to minimize the effect on the ozone layer. Thus, it can be concluded that by using this hydrogen system, the level of pollution can be decreased.
