Title:
HYDROGEN DRIVE OF COMBUSTION ENGINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/126443
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
From the fuel tank for water the water is transported through the safety valve to the hydrogen generator where the produced compound of oxygen and hydrogen is transported directly to the combustion engine. The exact dosage of production of oxygen and hydrogen is performed by the help of control unit of generator where the unit regulates the quantity of produced compound following its consumption. It is also possible to connect to the outflow of the combustion products the ORC unit where the electrical energy from this resource can help to drive the generator of hydrogen.

Claims for protection

1. Hydrogen drive of combustion engine characterized in that the water is brought by the help of water inlet (1) at least with one safety valve and at least with one level sensor to the hydrogen generator (2) where from water the compound of the oxygen and hydrogen is produced which is directly transported to combustion engine (3) where it is burned, when the production of the compound in the hydrogen generator (2) is controlled by the help of control unit (4) so that all produced compound of oxygen and hydrogen produced in hydrogen generator (2) is burned immediately .

2. Hydrogen drive of combustion engine according to the claim 1, characterized in that the combustion products after the combustion of compound of oxygen and hydrogen are brought to the ORS system (5) where the electrical energy is produced.

3. Hydrogen drive of combustion engine according to the claim 1, characterized in that the electrical energy produced in ORC system (5) is used in its entirety or partially for electrolysis in the hydrogen generator (2).

Description:
Hydrogen drive of combustion engine

Technology area

This invention concerns the alternative fuel for drive especially of combustion engines. Present condition of technology

Nowadays the combustion engines are driven especially by the combustion of petrol, oil, and are also driven by electric current. Other method is the combustion of gas. The most recent trends combine the combustion of petrol or oil altogether with hydrogen. The disadvantage of above mentioned solutions is the fact that the majority of combustion engines are driven by the help of petrol or oil, i. e. by fuel, and their availability is limited and the supplies are not infinite. Drive by the help of electrical energy is dependent on sufficient supply of energy which is also produced especially from non-renewable resources. The disadvantage of drive by gas is the necessity of gas supplies and thus the danger of explosion.

Principle of technical solution

The above mentioned disadvantages are to a large extent solved by the constructional solution according to this utility model where the drive of the combustion engine is performed by the compound of oxygen and hydrogen which is produced directly in the unit and the quantity of produced compound is immediately burned by the engine.

The constructional solution is: From the fuel tank for water the water is transported through the safety valve to the hydrogen generator where the produced compound of oxygen and hydrogen is transported directly to the combustion engine. Here the compound is use the same as current combustion engines. The exact dosage of production of oxygen and hydrogen is performed by the help of control unit of generator where the unit regulates the quantity of produced compound following its consumption so that all produced compound of oxygen and hydrogen is burned and there is no need to store it. It is also possible to connect to the outflow of the combustion products the ORC unit where the electrical energy from this resource can help to drive the generator of hydrogen.

l Summary of the pictures in the drawing

The example of the illustration of the invention is more closely shown on the drawing where the picture no. 1 shows the construction of the fuel system of engine driven by the compound of oxygen and hydrogen.

Examples of technical solution conduct

Water is brought to the hydrogen generator 2 trough the safety valve 1 where in the generator 2 the sufficient quantity of compound of oxygen and hydrogen is produced, where this quantity is regulated by the help of the control unit 4 of the generator 2. The compound of the oxygen and hydrogen is transported to the combustion space 3 where it is burned. The combustion products from engine are brought to the ORC unit 5 where the electric current is produced from this residual energy. The produced electric current is used for hydrogen generator 2.

Industrial efficiency

This technical solution is usable for drive of all combustion engines, e. g. for drive of automobile.
