1.Incorporation of fractional H2 from reformer into regular feed such as LPG bring about ovr 10% saving in fuel cost.
2.Injection of H2 from an onboard reformer into ICE bring about gasoline saving and power boosting in addition to the reduction of CO and NOx in the tail gases.
3,Injection of H2 into Diesel engine results in fuel saving (5-10%), reduction of Co and NOx in addition to carbon block reduction.
1,Onboard production of hydrogen from regular reformate for HTPEM or heating purpose to LO-CO hydrogen fuel for FC fuel can be designed and fabricated with H2 capacity ranging from 200 lph to 10CMH can be arranged.
2,Methanol consumption in simple reformer is about 0.5kg/CMH2 with 75%H2 and 1.0-1.2%CO and balance of CO2, in the LO-CO fuel by hydrogen generator is 0.62kg/CMH2 with 67-70%H2, 2-4ppmCO and CO2+N2.
3, The reactor volume requirements are compiled below.
