Today's IC engines have a maximum efficiency of only around 40%. This is due to a variety of losses which occur in the engine in the form of losses through exhaust, incomplete combustion, Incomplete combustion not only reduces engine efficiency, but also releases harmful gases like CO, CO2, NO2and SO2 into the atmosphere which lead to devastating environmental phenomenon like green-house effect and global warming. For maximum combustion of fuel in engine and to avoid dangerous harmful gases from exhaust we propose a new concept of air preheating along with hydrogen gas by the process of electrolysis before fed into IC engine.
In our engine heat energy of exhaust gases is given to the pre heater and then it is absorbed by atmospheric air which is supplied to the carburettor. Hence this makes the reduction of hydrocarbon and increase the thermal efficiency of the engine. With the use of hydrogen along with the fuel, there will be reduction in fuel consumption as well as reduction in emission of harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide and un burnt hydrocarbons.
