The Technology
Our hydrogen generation system is set next to the internal combustion engine. A pipe from the HR-100 delivers a constant volume of hydrogen-rich gas into the engine air intake manifold. The HR-100 is automated, portable, lightweight, easy to use, and noise free. Due to the low concentration of hydrogen gas, and because it’s in the presence of inert gases, the HR-100 presents NO fire hazard.
The Innovation
We believe in challenging the status quo in everything we do. At the core of our hydrogen generation system lies a unique catalyst used in the conversion of methanol to hydrogen. Our proprietary catalyst and the commutual technological process are the results of more than 20 years research and experimental work.
The Process
The HR-100 warming stage is rapid utilizing minimal external energy. Thereafter, as it is an autothermal reformer with a unique design, minimal external energy is required for the reforming process. The fuel is injected into a preheated airflow before entering the mixing chamber where preheated steam is also introduced. The catalytic reactor operates at temperatures from 250-350°C. The generated hydrogen rich-gas is cooled through various heat exchangers such that the gas in the reformer exhaust is approximately 50°C.
