How The Trucker Cell Works

By adding a small amount of highly combustible HHO Gas (Hydrogen + Oxygen) to the fuel mixture going into the combustion chamber, the existing diesel in the new mix burns at a much higher rate. You need less diesel to accomplish optimim combustion, you save on every stroke of the piston.

Hydrogen burns nearly one order of magnitude (ten times) faster than petroleum fuels, thus approaching ideal thermodynamic cycle; and hydrogen has a shorter flame quench distance, allowing flames to travel closer to the cold zones, thus improving combustion.

HHO Gas is injected directly into the intake manifold, as it travels into the combustion chamber it acts as an accelerant on the diesel molecules creating a highly efficent burn rate.

The Technology

The technology that the Trucker Cell is based upon is called - Hydrogen Combustion Catalyst (HCC). The principle of operation of the HHO gas fuel mixture has been studied for many years by National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA). The following is a brief description of how the system works: The Trucker Cell system uses a process called electrolysis to break down water, on-demand, to produce orthohydrogen /parahydrogen /oxygen gas blend (HHO Gas). This HHO gas is then introduced with the air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber of the diesel engine where it acts as a catalyst to burn long fuel molecule chains with a much higher flame speed which results in enhanced combustion process in the engine resulting in lower emissions, lower losses to the cooling system and exhaust gas which increases horsepower and improve fuel economy.

Are there changes made to the engine?

No, the diesel engine itself is virtually unchanged, except for the addition of HHO gas (hydrogen + oxygen) into the injection system and the ECU, fitted externally to the engine. The Cell is installed and calibrated automatically to maintain in-cylinder temperatures and pressures that are within those of pure diesel operations, so the converted engine operates within the designed limits of the original engine.

Engine System Integration

The Trucker Cell components will not affect the base engine's robustness and durability, a return to pure diesel in the event of Cell failure is done on the fly with no intervention neccesary. If the Cell becomes non-functional for any reason, the system simply returns to a diesel only fuel.

Competitive Technologies-

The major Competitive technologies to the Hydroxy Combustion Catalys (HCC) systems today are the Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) and the Advanced Engine Gas Recirculation (EGR). The following three definitions briefly describe the technology. The competitive edge ReV-Systems.com has with the “Trucker Cell” is its ability greatly increases the fuel economy of any diesel engine, thus greatly decreasing fuel cost of those engines.

SCR - This system utilizes a urea solution known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to neutralize nitrogen oxides Nox in the exhaust stream.

EGR- This system utilizes high-pressure common-rail fuel injection and electronically controlled air and fuel management to limit Nox.

HCC- This system utilizes the on-demand production of orthohydrogen /parahydrogen /oxygen gas blend (hydroxy gas) to act as a catalyst to burn long fuel molecule chains to improve combustion, reduce overall emissions, increase horsepower and improve fuel economy.

This chart will highlight strengths and weakness of each system.

PRO's				CON's
SCR		Better Engine Combustion		Buying DEF (Urea) - extra cost
		Greater Fuel Efficiency		Immersion heater Required (Urea freezes at 12°F)
		Converts Nox to safe nitrogen and water		Will add 250 - 600 pounds of extra equipment weight
				Engines derate if Urea runs dry
PRO's				CON's
EGR		No additional fluid or components		Requires greater cooling capacity
		No additional burden on driver		Decreases power density & fuel efficiency
		No impact on service intervals		Requires DPF to manage increased PM levels
				Vehicle out of service at least once a year for maintenance
PRO's				CON's
HCC		Improves Engine efficiency		Adds 104 pounds equipment weight
		Reduces Overall emissions by approx. 80 %		Need to add distilled water around every 3000 miles
		Improves power
		Greater Fuel Efficiency
		No additional burden on driver
		No impact on service intervals
		Freezing point of solution is -54°F
		Self heated (for below -54°F)

The following test data has been compiled from a Dynamometer test preformed at MACALLISTER POWER SYSTEMS 7575 E. 30th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46219 on 4/22/09 on a 2008 Peterbilt model 389 Tractor six cylinder ISX 565 Cummins diesel engine.

This graph reflects the engine operating normally with the Cell off. 

 

This graph reflects the same engine with the Cell switched on at its optimum output at 45 amps. 

The chart below shows the resultant data from the graphs and the reduction of emissions.

The benefits that ReV-Systems.com, Inc. reasonably anticipates, including estimated return on investment (ROI), will be reduced harmful emissions to below EPA's Tier 4 Standards (as shown above), increased fuel economy savings in the range of 10 % to 30 %, increased engine performance in horsepower in the range of 5% to 15%, where comparable results should be found in the maritime and rail diesel propulsion. ROI will generally be in the neighborhood of nine to eighteen months *(This data is derived from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s ratings estimates on carbon dioxide reduction).
