A dual-chamber onboard electrolysis system is configured to produce HHO gas for heavy duty trucking applications.

The present invention relates to a system (100) for supplying gas to at least one gas-consuming appliance (300) equipping a ship (70), the supply system (100) comprising at least: one gas supply line (123) for supplying gas to the at least one gas consuming appliance (300), said gas supply line being configured to be traversed by gas taken in the liquid state from a tank (200) and subjected to a pressure lower than a pressure of the gas in a headspace (201) of the tank (200), a first compression member (120) configured to compress the gas from the gas supply line (123) for supplying gas to the at least one gas-consuming appliance (300), a second compression member (130), characterised in that the first compression member (120) and the second compression member (130) alternately compress gas in the gaseous state from the gas supply line (123) and gas taken in the gaseous state from the headspace (201) of the tank (200).

A dual-chamber electrolysis vessel safely stores HHO gas for use by an internal combustion engine.

An HHO gas second fuel is produced in a pressure-resistant container and distributed at a low volumetric rate at multiple locations about the internal combustion engine.

Disclosed is a BOG reliquefaction system. The BOG reliquefaction system includes: a compressor compressing BOG; a heat exchanger cooling the BOG compressed by the compressor through heat exchange using BOG discharged from a storage tank as a refrigerant; a bypass line through which the BOG is supplied to the compressor after bypassing the heat exchanger; a second valve disposed on a second supply line through which the BOG used as the refrigerant in the heat exchanger is supplied to the compressor, the second valve regulating a flow rate of fluid and opening/closing of the second supply line; and a pressure reducer disposed downstream of the heat exchanger and reducing a pressure of fluid cooled by the heat exchanger, wherein the compressor includes at least one oil-lubrication type cylinder and the bypass line is joined to the second supply line downstream of the second valve.

Timing of HHO gas injection into a 4-stroke engine is optimized based on engine operating parameters to improve fuel economy.

A supplemental fuel system includes a fuel mixer. The fuel mixer includes a nozzle and a stem. The nozzle is configured to be positioned within a conduit of an air supply system for a compression-ignition engine. The nozzle has a body defining a first inlet positioned at a first nozzle end thereof, an outlet positioned at a second nozzle end thereof, a second inlet positioned between the first nozzle end and the second nozzle end, and a nozzle passage extending from the first nozzle end to the second nozzle end that is configured to receive air flowing through the conduit. The stem has a first stem end interfacing with the second inlet. The stem is configured to extend through a wall of the conduit such that a second stem end is positioned outside of the conduit.

Disclosed herein are a fuel supply system for ships and a fuel supply method using the same. The fuel supply method includes: 1) supplying an excess amount of liquefied gas as fuel to an incompressible fluid-fueled engine (E); 2) cooling unconsumed fuel discharged from the engine (E) through heat exchange with liquefied gas discharged from a storage tank (T); 3) returning the unconsumed fuel discharged from the engine (E) and having been cooled through heat exchange in step 2) to the storage tank (T); and 4) supplying the liquefied gas discharged from the storage tank (T) and having been used as refrigerant for heat exchange in step 2) to the engine (E). The fuel supply method can prevent cavitation in the engine (E) by supplying the excess amount of liquefied gas sufficient to accommodate variation in load of the engine (E) as fuel to the engine (E).

A hydrogen gas supply system for a hydrogen consuming energy converter arranged onto a vehicle comprising a plurality of tanks for storage of pressurized hydrogen gas, wherein each tank is provided with a valve configured to control the flow of hydrogen from the corresponding tank into a flow line connected to the hydrogen consuming energy converter, wherein the plurality of tanks comprises one or more primary tanks, each of which being provided with a corresponding primary hydrogen flow control valve, the plurality of tanks further comprising a secondary tank provided with a corresponding secondary hydrogen flow control valve, wherein the hydrogen gas supply system is arranged so that the secondary tank contains a smaller maximum working amount of pressurized hydrogen, and/or so that the flow of hydrogen from the secondary tank is restricted.

A cryogenic fuel tank system includes a fuel tank configured to contain a cryogenic liquid with a headspace above the cryogenic liquid configured to contain cryogenic vapor. A fuel cell converts cryogenic vapor from the headspace to electricity and water vapor. A vent valve directs excess cryogenic vapor from the headspace to the fuel cell when a pressure in the fuel tank exceeds a predetermined pressure level.
