HHO cells are used in the after-sales industry as an accessory for an internal combustion engine to reduce fuel consumption. This system can be considered and in fact is a hybrid system in which a hydroxyl gas is formed, which helps to increase the efficiency of the combustion process.
Design layout for HHO cells There are two basic structures known as the wet cell and the dry cell system. The final yield is the same when a hydroxyl gas is formed from an electrolyte solution. Both projects work well and have their advantages and disadvantages. Good designs should provide a good amount of hydroxy gas per minute with a minimum amperage (the current output from the car's charging system).
Wet HHO cell design The construction of a wet cell consists of electrodes immersed in an electrolyte solution, and has an upper end of electrodes used as terminals for positive and negative polarity. The electrolyte solution is constantly in contact with the plates, even when the system is not in use, as the HHO cell is built into the tank (s). The entire volume of electrolyte in the tank is exposed to current in the electrolysis process, which often leads to a greater current output. Various specific designs in the electrode plates can help reduce the amount of current used per cycle, which also reduces the energy spent in the form of heat. It is easier to design and easier when cleaning the cell for preventive maintenance. The disadvantage of this type of design is that it is bulky and can be quite difficult to install in modern engine compartments, where space is very limited.
Dry HHO cell design The design of dry cells is better suited for saving precious space, as they are very thin in nature. The electrolyte solution is not hidden in the cell itself, in contrast to the wet design. The electrolyte is stored in a separate tank and is supplied to the cells under the action of gravity in most structures. In some designs, an external pump may be used to supply electrolyte to a closed cell. Each dry cell is sealed with a gasket or sealing ring, so that the electrolyte remains only in the associated “closed chamber”. This leads to the fact that the system emits less current in the production of HHO-gas, since only this specific volume of electrolyte is exposed to current, unlike the design of a wet cell. Another advantage is that the positive electrodes undergo less oxidation, since only a small amount of the electrolyte solution is in each closed chamber. The disadvantage of this design is that gaskets or o-rings need periodic replacements, as they ever wear out. For such a procedure requires the entire unit, which must be divided into parts for such a procedure. The same type of disassembly is necessary for cleaning and inspecting the plates of each chamber. Fortunately, with good designs, this type of service is usually less than in comparison with the maintenance of wet chambers.
Installation installation The HHO cell system (hydrogen generator) on any car should not literally void the car warranty, since the engine does not open and does not change inside. The entire system flows into the intake manifold duct through a heat-resistant pipe. The HHO cell block is installed somewhere in the engine compartment area, outside the engine, and can be fixed in place in a variety of ways, including sturdy cable ties, if the vehicle owner indicates that there should be no drilling on the vehicle body.
In case of doubt, the system can be easily removed before servicing the vehicle under warranty or under any warranty requirements.
