GT5 GreenCell Technologies on Hydrocell

The HydroCell produces Hydrogen Gas, on demand, and adds it to the air drawn into a diesel engine. This small quantity of Hydrogen has large effects on the combustion process. GreenCell Technologies Inc  is a Canadian company dedicated to designing and bringing to market, technology-based products in the alternative energy market. The current product is called the HydroCell, an on-board on-demand hydrogen generator engineered specifically for Diesel Transport Trucks. GT5 GreenCell Technologies on Hydrocell: The result is approximately 10% fuel savings and up to a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (nitrous oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide). GreenCell Tek is also involved in the Solar Energy market. We are currently conducting research and developing strategies to open an alternative energy division that will offer product, consultation and installation services for the Canadian market. The HYDROCELL system is a safe and reliable product designed exclusively for the Diesel Transport Truck market. The HYDROCELL draws only 25 Amps from the vehicles 12 Volt system and generates enough hydrogen through-out the entire RPM range to enhance combustion. GreenCell Technologies’s advanced feedback system monitors several conditions and adjusts the electrolysis process, to provide safe and efficient production of Hydrogen gas. The system was designed to operate in a temperature range of -40 to +60C and has an in-cab indicator to show system status. Installation requires no modification to the engine and does not affect the manufacturer’s warranty. The only maintenance needed is the addition of distilled water every 250 hours of operation. It has been proven in validated tests that adding Hydrogen to fuel in an internal combustion engine will increase the flame speed. At various RPM’s the fuel that is present in the cylinder is not completely burned during the combustion cycle due to the flame speed of petroleum based fuels and the amount of time the combustion cycle is allowed, due to engine speed and load. The addition of Hydrogen gas increases that flame speed and allows for all the fuel in the cylinder to be burned during each combustion cycle. This increases the power produced during that cycle which results in a net savings in fuel use of 10% on average. Greenhouse Gas emissions are also reduced significantly as the major cause of those emissions is un-burnt fuel in the exhaust. GT5 GreenCell Technologies on Hydrocell: Average of 10% Fuel Savings, Produces Hydrogen on demand, Operates only when engine is running , Low Maintenance – requires water every 200 operating hours and Fail-Safe design – stores no Hydrogen.

GreenCell GT5 Begins Extensive Testing Phase with Long-Haul Trucking Companies

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 24, 2010 --
(Toronto) — GT5 GreenCell Technologies is proud to announce it has successfully completed another round of advanced testing with significant HydroCell™ results. The integrated GreenCell Hydrogen Enrichment System is now expected to double anticipated hydrogen output, and further increase fuel efficiencies in diesel trucks around the world.

These new results augment earlier tests conducted from November 2009 to January 2010, whereby Electronic Control Data was downloaded from vehicles equipped with the HydroCell™ and directly compared to those without the HydroCell™ running the same route and under the same conditions.
Hydrogen, as a fuel, is emission free and the only by-product of combustion is water. It is the most abundant element in the universe and is the fuel of choice for the Space Shuttle’s main engine. The addition of a GreenCell Hydrogen Enrichment System is similar to adding a Supercharger to an engine.

To assure continued fuel savings, the HydroCell™ is always tested for performance, efficiency, reliability and hydrogen output on numerous vehicles, to enhance its core design and help refine the product specifications for engineers. In addition to recent discoveries, GreenCell is also conducting extensive lab tests to establish the most efficient electrolyte mixture and the optimal Anode to Cathode distance for maximum hydrogen production. These tests will lead to new modifications to increase hydrogen output, boost fuel efficiency overall and reduce manufacturing costs.
The HydroCell™ is an electrolysis-based on-demand Hydrogen generator designed specifically for the transport industry. The product draws a small amount of power from the vehicles electrical system and uses it to produce Hydrogen gas from a water-based solution. The HydroCell™ directs the produced Hydrogen gas to the intake of the vehicles engine where it acts as a catalyst during the normal combustion cycle. This creates more power and fewer emissions, burning only the existing fuel in the cylinder, resulting simply in less fuel being required to operate the vehicle.

GT5 GreenCell Technologies: HYDROGEN USE AS A MOTOR FUEL

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 14, 2010 --
There are several ways that hydrogen can be used as a motor fuel. It can be used to directly replace gasoline or diesel fuel in specially designed internal combustion engines (ICEs), or it can be used to supplement these typical fuels in existing engines. In either of these cases, the vehicle drive system will be identical to those used on most gasoline-powered or diesel-powered vehicles. The engine will drive the vehicle’s wheels through a transmission, drive shaft, and front or rear axle.

Hydrogen can also be used as the fuel source for a “fuel cell engine,” in which case the vehicle’s drive system will be very different. A fuel cell directly creates electricity, which can be used to power an electric motor to drive the vehicle’s wheels. A fuel cell vehicle is, therefore, an electric vehicle, but one that creates its own electricity and does not need to be plugged in to recharge batteries. A small fuel cell can also be used to create electricity to directly power the auxiliary systems on a commercial truck (for example heating, air conditioning, and lighting in a sleeper berth), which are typically powered by the truck’s main engine. Using such a fuel cell auxiliary power unit (APU) would allow the driver to shut off the truck’s main diesel engine while resting, saving fuel and reducing pollution.

Regardless of whether the hydrogen will be used in a fuel cell main engine, a fuel cell APU, or an internal combustion engine, there are different ways that it can be stored on the vehicle. As described below, these different storage technologies can introduce significantly different potential hazards, including very high pressure (gaseous hydrogen storage), very low temperature (liquid hydrogen storage), or high temperature (liquid fuel reforming).

GT5 GreenCell Technologies: Currently both fuel cells and hydrogen ICEs are in the early stages of commercialization. All of the major auto companies have fielded concept, prototype, or demonstration fuel cell sedans and sport utility vehicles in the last several years, with at least fifteen different models introduced since 2000 (Barnitt and Eudy, 2005; USFCC, 2006). Most of these vehicles have been operated by the companies themselves or have been fielded to government agencies and fleet customers as part of technology development or demonstration programs. The California Fuel Cell Partnership reports that its members have placed 134 light-duty fuel cell vehicles in service in California since 2000 (CAFCP, n.d.). In addition, there are currently nine fuel cell transit buses in service in the United States and Canada, and over 20 in Europe and Asia (Chandler and Eudy, 2006).

It is expected that commercial fuel cells will be introduced into government and transit bus fleets between 2010 and 2020, with sales to commercial vehicle fleets and the public sometime between 2020 and 2030 (DOE, 2002). It is also expected that the first use of hydrogen fuel in the commercial truck sector will be to power fuel cell APUs rather than to power fuel cell or hydrogen ICE main propulsion engines. At least one company has announced plans to introduce commercial fuel cell APUs as early as 2011 (Delphi, 2005).

GT5 GreenCell Technologies: Most current prototype fuel cell vehicles carry their hydrogen fuel as a compressed gas, and it is expected that this will continue to be the case for the earliest commercial vehicles. It may be desirable to store liquid hydrogen onboard a commercial vehicle because it has a higher energy density and would increase the range between fill-ups. However, onboard liquid hydrogen storage is more costly, and it is more likely that liquid hydrogen will be stored at fueling stations to supply gaseous hydrogen to vehicles. Other storage technologies, such as metal and chemical hydrides, are much further from commercial readiness (DOE, n.d.). Several fuel cell buses have been demonstrated that “reform,” or extract hydrogen from, liquid methanol onboard (Georgetown University, 2003), and there are fuel cell APU systems under development that will derive their hydrogen from onboard reforming of diesel fuel or gasoline (Delphi, 2005). In addition, there are several commercial “hydrogen injection” systems available for retrofit on diesel engines (CHEC, n.d.). These systems produce small amounts of hydrogen by electrolysis of water carried on the vehicle, which is injected into the diesel engine along with the diesel fuel.

GreenCell Technologies GT5 Develops New Wireless Product | hotklix

Based on recent feedback from long-haul truckers, the GreenCell research team has now designed a wireless status indicator that will be manufactured and sold as a package in tandem with its popular Hydrogen Enrichment System. The innovative device simply plugs into the cigarette lighter on the dashboard and instantly indicates the current status of the HydroCell™ and its present operating condition. The driver will instantly be aware if the HydroCell™ is in need of water and can rectify the condition which will minimize downtime. The HydroCell™ requires the addition of water every 40 - 50 hours of operation and will shut down and not generate Hydrogen if allowed to run dry. This device will ensure maximum fuel savings by eliminating downtime due to lack of water. HydroCell™ has exceeded expectations and is typically doubling hydrogen output and increasing fuel efficiencies for transportation companies and independent drivers alike. Hydrogen, as a fuel, is emission free and the only by-product of combustion is water. It is the most abundant element in the universe and is the fuel of choice for the Space Shuttle’s main engine.
