Control Circuit and Manual
Up until quite recently, it was found to
be very difficult to increase the fuel
efficiency of EFI equipped vehicles that
had been retro fitted with hydrogen
generating technology (excluding diesel
engines).
This is because fuel injection systems
(believe it or not) are actually
designed to prevent efficient
combustion! Engines are designed
to burn at the highest temperature for
emission purposes, rather than for best
fuel economy.
Most
fuel injected engines use an oxygen
sensor or sensors that read
oxygen levels found in the
exhaust after combustion.
The ECU
will continually adjust the air/fuel
ratio of the engine to
keep the mixture at
14.7 to 1.
When there is an increase in the oxygen
content, it is 'read' by the
oxygen sensor and interpreted
by the
ECU to be too lean a mixture and
compensate. Your ECU will then instruct
the injectors to lengthen their injector
cycle, thus using extra fuel
to bring the air/fuel ratio back to
'normal'.
When a hydrogen
generator is fitted to an engine, and
supplemental oxy-hydrogen gas is
introduced into the equation,
considerably more oxygen is liberated
from the combustion process.
Unfortunately, hydrogen generators that
produce a larger volume of gas will
exacerbate the problem even further. The
two main reasons as to why this occurs
are shown below:
1)…
Less
fuel is being used to produce an
equivalent amount of horsepower
2)… Less
oxygen is being consumed to create
carbon monoxide in the exhaust. The
bottom line is there is more oxygen in
the exhaust as the fuel burning
efficiency is increased.
So, now
that you
have spent time and money to install a
hydrogen generator, and are
getting a more efficient fuel burn, what
does the vehicle's computer do? It dumps
extra fuel in an attempt to get an
oxygen reading in the exhaust equal to
its pre-programmed computer settings.
This will take away the gas savings of
just about any hydrogen generator, and
in some cases will actually cause an
increase
in fuel
consumption, despite having a working
hydrogen generator.
The majority of devices that are
currently used with hydrogen technology
work by intercepting the signal from
vehicle’s oxygen sensor. These units do
work, but have limited capabilities
regarding air / fuel ratios. These
devices are limited by the .1 - .9 volt
range used by this sensor.
Our electronic control circuit works
by allowing you to apply an offset to
the voltage coming from your vehicle’s
MAP or MAF sensor. By adjusting the
voltage from either the MAP or MAF
sensor, the base injector cycle width
and duration can be precisely
controlled. This allows for the most
appropriate fuel to air ratio for your
given application.
Note:
Without fitting a device that
will either modify the signal from the
oxygen sensor (EFIE) or alter the signal
from the MAP or MAF, fuel savings will
be non -existent, or negligible at best.
