Abstract
This work presents the development of a monitoring system applied to a diesel generator with the injection of electrolysis gas, in order to reduce the consumption of diesel oil in the generator. Diesel fuel is the main fuel and hydrogen is the secondary fuel (additive), injected together with the intake air. This experimental study consists initially of characterizing a hydrogen-generating device (dry cell) through the evaluation of the gas volumetric flowrate produced as a function of the electric current applied to the system and of the electrolyte concentration. Monitoring is performed through an interface that allows information, alerts, and commands to be made available to the user to interact with the automation system and equipment. The cell, engine, and generator monitoring system are developed in Arduino platform, Platform IO, and Visual Studio. The variables of the electrolytic cell (temperature, current, and voltage), engine (consumption, and speed) and generator (power, current, and voltage) are monitored.
