Diesel Hydrogen Injection
Save Diesel Fuel
 

Of course our system is not 100% hydrogen powered, but our diesel hydrogen injection system adds a hydrogen/oxygen supplement that improves diesel combustion which saves diesel fuel and cleans up tailpipe emissions.

Placing our equipment into a diesel power system boosts the horsepower, reduces emissions and saves diesel fuel. Many people have successfully replicated this approach by building a hydrogen generator with plans they get from various websites. Some buy a hydrogen generator kit and install it themselves or have their mechanic install it for them.

Our system is similar to propane injection kits, except that there is no bottled gas stored on board. All hydrogen gas is produced and immediately consumed through the air intake pre-turbo. Also, the only consumable is distilled water which is readily available across the Nation.

Sand Sports Was Skeptical Too, Until They Tried It...
In our opinion, there is no better test than a stranger procuring your hydrogen generator, installing it, testing it for themselves and reporting on amazing miles per gallon achievements... and then writing about it in a National magazine! They tested on a 2003 GMC 3500 4X4 Dually Crew Cab with an automatic transmission on highway without a trailer, on highway with a trailer and on steep mountainous roads without a trailer.

Customer Testimonial

 Regarding the Hydrogen Injection System that I purchased from Umpqua Energy.

Personally I do believe in the product that I have purchased. The technology is there and I do believe Umpqua Energy is utilizing it. The kit is rather easy to assemble and install. It took me about 2 hours to assemble and another 3 hours to install. I do recommend finding someone that has electrical know how. The only problem that I encountered during the assembly process was to put a couple of flat washers between the reservoirs and the mounting surface. This will keep the tanks from splitting up the mounting flanges. The only problem as far as installation is making sure you have an excellent ground being whether it's off the batteries or the frame.

As for the improvement that my 2002 Kenworth, T2000, with a 525 hp Cummins "red top" engine, with a 53 foot dry van trailer is as follows. The increase in mileage is from my IFTA reports. Second quarter report was an average of 5.81 mpg, and 40023 miles traveled. This is before I installed the generator. I did have the motor rebuilt during this quarter. Third quarter report showed an increase to 6.17 mpg, 38877 miles traveled, again this is before I installed the unit. Forth quarter showed another increase to 6.45 mpg and 36939 miles traveled. The unit was installed at the beginning of this quarter. I believe that the increase in mileage and power was due to the hydrogen generator. But there also so many variables like weight of loads and wind, weather and traffic. We all know that wind can sure eat the fuel. As far as my routes, they are the same. I go from Denver to southern California every week. So that means going over the Rocky Mountains 3-4 times a week. The weight on my loads varies from about 20000 to 46000 lbs but even out about the same every quarter. I do drive about 65 mph to 67 mph, which makes a difference and which I drove even before installing the unit. I am also very concerned about tire pressure, it too can make a difference. Any amount of fuel that I can save means more money I can put in my pocket.

Another improvement that I have noticed is that my engine idles smoother which means a more complete burn of the fuel. The generator will give you better emmesions. But the testing that I have had done with MHC Kenworth of Denver will only give me a pass or fail report. I do believe the emissions are improved because of the 46000 lbs load that I haul there is very very little if any smoke from the exhaust when the engine is "lugged" such as first starting.

The unit is very easy to maintain. I check mine daily and just add distilled water when needed. Just be sure you have heavy rubber gloves when mixing the KOH during the first fill of the reservoir. I also would suggest using 1 container of KOH to 1/2 gallon of distilled water in the glass gallon container you use. It's easier to mix and pour that way. I store my excess KOH in a heavy plastic gas container. The plates in the generator will turn brown hence "Browns Gas". When your amp gauge starts not pulling as many amps it's time to add more KOH. I also carry a couple of gallons of distilled water and a box of baking soda just as a precaution.

I am sending pictures of my installation. I am going to mount the system along the frame in the future but trying to install the system will require a different metal box and some changing of the mounting brackets because of the fairings and skirts on my truck. Right now it is mounted on the back of my sleeper.

I would recommend this hydrogen generator to everyone no matter the application. The people at Umpqua Energy have been very helpful and a joy to work with. Thanks Heather and Dan and everyone involved.

Hydrogen Embrittlement

Xado Prevents and Repairs Hydrogen Embrittlement With Engine Treatment
Hydrogen embrittlement occurs when hydrogen interacts with steel under heat and pressure. Hydrogen atoms are smaller than the molecular structure of steel so hydrogen is forced into the steel and methane pockets are created which expand and contract which cause weak points in the steel and it can eventually break down. Many hydrogen generator companies do not address this issues. We use Xado to protect and repair the engine from the damaging effects of hydrogen embrittlement.

Heavy-Duty PWM Controller

One of the weak links in the hydrogen injection marketplace has been in finding a reliable, stable and durable PWM Control Circuit.  We have tested many of the PWM Controllers on the market today and have been extremely disappointed in the lack of durability.  The circuits would overheat and the board would get so hot that the solder would melt and short out the entire board.

We are pleased to be the first to annouce the release of the OkW 12v 0-50a PWM Controller .  We have collaborated with the folks at OkW and they have built a heavy-duty controller to our specifications.  We have tested their equipment extensively and can honestly say that we've tried our best, but we just can't break it anymore.  And speaking of breaking, where else can you find a one year warranty on this kind of equipment.  If you can break it, OkW will fix your unit and ship to back to you.

The OkW system is unique for several reasons, but the most notable to us is that the heat sink and mosfets are completely seperate from the control board.  The exhaust fan keeps the heat away from the circuitry which allows the PWM Controller to run extremely cool.
