Diesel Conversion - Hydrogen Direct Application to Diesel Engines

What is HYDI? Hydrogen Direct Input

In simple terms, HYDI is a unit that gets attached to an existing diesel engine that inputs Hydrogen into the combustion of that engine which allows the fuel to burn hotter and cleaner which has proven results impacting emissions, fuel consumption, power/torque, engine performance, and servicing costs.

HYDI Hydrogen Direct Unit

The HYDI Unit

The HYDI unit is a sophisticated but simple to use Hydrogen on demand system. It uses distilled water
and low voltage electricity from the electrical system of the vehicle or plant to produce Hydrogen.

The HYDI unit does not store Hydrogen and employs a number of safety features to prevent Hydrogen
being generated if the engine is not running.

There are no chemicals or additives used in the HYDI unit.

Just pure water.

The HYDI unit uses Bluetooth Applications to display the status on the operation of the unit on an Android phone or tablet in real time.

Holcim, Scania and HYDI are Partnering to Decarbonise the Logistics Chain in Australia’s Remote North-west

Prime Mover with Hydi Integration

Holcim’s retrofitted prime movers using HYDI Hydrogen on Demand HY2500 units have seen reductions in fuel consumption of up to 15% and additional emissions reductions.

Benefits

The HYDI Hydrogen on demand system supplies hydrogen gas to the engine
intake to supplement diesel fuel. The controlled addition of hydrogen into
the engine improves combustion efficiency.

This has the effect of reducing fuel consumption and to reducing carbon and greenhouse gas exhaust emissions.

Hydi Process

Diesel Conversion to Hydrogen Direct

How can HYDI help?

HYDI is a simple solution to improve your environmental impact.  Whether you are looking for a greener carbon footprint, a reduction in particulate emissions, decreasing your fuel consumption or all the above, HYDI does it all with potentially massive savings in operating costs, compliance with Environmental Sustainability Governance all without replacing expensive equipment.

What applications are currently using Hydrogen direct from HYDI?

The primary focus for HYDI is on larger diesel engines in heavy equipment, trains, garbage trucks, prime movers, dump trucks, large generators and other larger diesel engines.

How long does it take to install the unit?

At HYDI we are well aware that downtime for your equipment means lost revenue.  It takes approximately 5 hours to fit a HYDI unit to most diesel engines.

How does it work? How do I get Hydrogen and how dangerous is that?

The units create Hydrogen gas from de-mineralised water.  That’s it. No re-gassing, no dangerous Hydrogen cylinders or storage, the unit produces Hydrogen on demand when the engine operates.  It shuts down when the engine shuts down. No hydrogen storage.  It produces its own Hydrogen that is inputted into the simplest process through the air intake system into combustion to create a clean, efficient burn. You simply refill the water chamber in accordance with usage, as an example a 15L engine will use 1L of de-mineralised water in approximately 30 hours of operation.  Simple, clean, safe and it can be used in even the most remote regions.
