HYDROGEN INTAKE ASSEMBLY FOR A HYDROGEN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240018898 titled 'HYDROGEN INTAKE ASSEMBLY FOR A HYDROGEN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a hydrogen intake assembly for a hydrogen internal combustion engine. The assembly includes an air intake manifold, air intake runners, a spacer, a water rail, and a hydrogen rail.

  • The air intake manifold consists of an air intake pipe with air inlets and outlets.
  • The air intake runners have air inlets and outlets.
  • The spacer has a wall that defines an inner chamber, which receives a mixture of air, water, and hydrogen. It also has air inlets and mixture outlets for delivering the mixture.
  • The water rail has at least one water inlet and water outlets, which are embedded in the wall of the spacer.
  • The hydrogen rail has at least one hydrogen inlet and hydrogen outlets.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Hydrogen internal combustion engines can be used in vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and buses, as an alternative to traditional gasoline or diesel engines.
  • This technology can also be applied in stationary power generation systems, where hydrogen can be used as a fuel for electricity production.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The hydrogen intake assembly allows for the efficient intake and distribution of hydrogen, air, and water mixture into the internal combustion engine.
  • It provides a controlled and optimized mixture for combustion, ensuring better performance and reduced emissions.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Hydrogen internal combustion engines have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.
  • The assembly allows for the use of hydrogen as a clean and renewable energy source.
  • It improves the efficiency and performance of the internal combustion engine, leading to better fuel economy and reduced environmental impact.


Original Abstract Submitted

a hydrogen intake assembly for a hydrogen internal combustion engine characterized in that the hydrogen intake assembly includes at least one air intake manifold comprising an air intake pipe comprising at least one air inlet and air outlets, air intake runners comprising air inlets and air outlets, a spacer having a wall defining an inner chamber receiving a mixture of air, water and hydrogen and comprising air inlets and mixture outlets delivering said mixture, a water rail comprising at least one water inlet and water outlets, said water outlets being embedded in the wall of the spacer and a hydrogen rail comprising at least a hydrogen inlet and hydrogen outlets.
