Hydrogen Booster Installation Procedure
Installing the Hydrogen Boost System is a matter as simple as installing four components on gasoline vehicles and only three on diesel vehicles. The hydrogen generator also known as the electrolyzer, the engine treatment, the fuel heater, and the electronic control circuit comprise the gasoline system. In diesel system is different because there's no electronic control circuit. Here is a briefly describe of the installation procedure, which comes in details in installation manual.
In most of the times the hydrogen generator is installed in the engine compartment or under the front fender. It is normally placed in position where it rests on something pretty sturdy and it is held in place with a mounting bracket that bolts to the vehicle. The wiring to the hydrogen generator is a separate circuit installed from the vehicle battery, through a fuse holder, an ammeter, and a relay, to the center electrode of the hydrogen generator, which is grounded by the mounting strap and/or a separate ground wire clamped to the outside of the unit. The relay is them activated by a single wire from the fuel pump relay. The wiring kit supplies all the wire and connectors needed for installation along with the fuse holder, relay and ammeter. The wire needs to be cut to size, stripped, and them terminated with various wire connectors crimped to the end of each wire. Recently we have included a multi-meter electrical tester used during installation.
The fuel heater is a simple heat exchanger that is installed inside and is plumbed to the cabin heater hose circuit and the fuel line coming to the injector rail. In some vehicle application the factory hosing will not reach, you may have to purchase a few feet of heater hose, fuel line and some clamps to install the fuel heater.
The engine treatment is added to the oil sump. For gasoline engines we throw in a free upper engine lubricant treatment that is added to the gasoline. The engine treatment it's only done once and never has to be repeated. For diesel vehicles it is also include a permanent transmission treatment and a permanent differential treatment that is added to the lubricants in each. The treatment, lubricant and the Scan gauge are not needed to get the system to work, but to improve the system and gas mileage it is included in the kit.
Synthetic oil is very recommended as part of the system but because of shipping restrictions we would recommend the customer to purchase the synthetic oil locally. Even though the recommended synthetic oil it is not required. That's why we include the treatment. The upper cylinder lubricant is not a permanent treatment like the engine treatment but it lasts about three months and shows the you whether or not it is worth repeating the procedure on your vehicle. The treatment or the Hydrogen Boost System will not harm the engine like many of the oil additives.
The electronic control circuit is a pretty simple potentiometer (variable resister) that is installed on a couple wires run from your cabin into the engine compartment and attached to the MAF (mass air flow) sensor signal line or MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor signal line. The potentiometer (dial) is installed in a really convenient location where the driver can adjust the air/fuel ratio to a leaner setting than normal while driving. The wire connectors and wire are included with the system. During operation the upstream oxygen sensor is unplugged. The oxygen sensor still the reason it needs to be kept unplugged because otherwise it will overwrite the adjustment of the electronic control circuit by increasing the fuel injected as it senses to extra lean air/fuel mixture. If you keep it unplugged it will not overwrite anything and the system will work smoothly. If you have inspections in your state them you will have to plug the oxygen sensor back in place for the initial inspection and unplug it afterwards.
On gasoline vehicles we even include the Scan gauge monitoring system, which is simply plugged into the OBD-II connector under the dash by the driver's knee. This component is not necessary to run the Hydrogen Boost system but is a real nice way to keep track of your mileage and to read and reset any engine diagnostic trouble codes that may come up.
This is not to be a complete and detailed instruction manual for installation. The complete and detailed manual comes with the system on computer disk and has the option of printing out on your computer printer if needed in the shop.
Distilled water it's poured into the hydrogen generator once every tank full of fuel which is usually done when checking your oil. If the water is not added no damage is done to the engine or to the hydrogen generator. Mineral water should not be used because the minerals will stay in the electrolyzer and eventually you will have some mud inside. Distilled water can be purchased at any supermarket for very cheap. Rain water can be used, as well as air conditioner drippings. It only needs 12-16 ounces of water every tan full of gasoline.
It usually takes the whole day for installation (8 hours). If you are hiring a mechanic to install the Hydrogen boost system you should have the mechanic read the manual thoroughly and give you a price by the job, $200 to $500 should be reasonable for installation ,of course depending on the vehicle and how accessible the following components are under the hood: cabin heater hoses, upstream oxygen sensor, MAF sensor or MAP sensor, fuel line, fuel pump relay, battery and location for mounting the electrolyzer.
The system extract hydrogen from water. There are no danger materials or explosive chemicals in this hydrogen booster . There is no way for it to damage your engine except if the installation is done improperly and safety pre-cautions are not followed. Again If water runs out from the Hydrogen Booster System, it will not damage the the car or system. The less water is in the Hydrogen Booster tank, the less will work. It will eventually stop working until it is filled up with water again.
Safety issues are in the manual and must be used as pre-caution. The Manufacturer for Hydrogen Booster will not take any responsibility for the following:
- Damage to the engine from improper gas hose placement and overfilling the electrolyzer.
- Fire damage that was caused by a fuel leak from loose connections and clamps.
- Skin burns that were caused by touching the electrolyte and not rinsing it off.
- Blindness that is caused by the spilling of electrolyte in you eyes and not washing it out.
- Choking that is caused by breathing electrolyte fumes during mixing.
