Certified Test Results

On January 26, 2010, we furnished a HydroSys Hydrogen Generator unit to be used in a dynamometer test to determine the effects of hydrogen assist on the emissions of a diesel engine. The engine used was a Caterpillar 3126 marine engine of 7.2 liter displacement and was provided by Dependable Marine. The engine had about 60 hours of operation when the test were performed, and as installed on the dyno, there were no emissions control devices. The dyno was owned and operated by Hawthorne Machinery of San Diego who provided us with the raw data sheets.

The President of California Environmental Solutions LLC took samples of exhaust emissions at various RPM settings and HHO production levels using a certified ECOM gas analyzer. California Environmental Solution is certified by the state of California to perform emissions test in the field to determine compliance with the state's pollution standards.

As a normal starting point on a diesel engine, 1/4 liter of HHO is injected into the air intake per 1 liter of engine displace, or 1.8 lpm for this 7.2 liter engine. For this test, we took reading at HHO production levels of 1 lpm, 2 lpm and 3 lpm.

Below are the pertinent results of the test. Shown are results at idle, 1600 RPM representing an easy cruise, 2000 RPM representing a fast cruise, and one at wide open throttle.
