Water for Gas Installation Precautions
Installing an HHO generator is fairly easy and can be done without any extensive knowledge of automobiles whatsoever. Of course, having a little “hands on” experience of cars is a definite plus, but it isn’t an absolute prerequisite. An HHO generator, as the name suggests, generates HHO, which also goes by the name of Brown gas. It is this gas which upon mixing with petrol, will form a powerful mixture which will drive your engine and hence the car.
It’s important to note here, that due diligence needs to be exercised while installing the HHO generator unit. Although it is easy, it does no mean that you can afford to “slack” while installing it. HHO explodes, but only when in contact with gas, and so you are not dealing with kid’s stuff here. Don’t assume that you know everything. In case of a doubt or a question, ask your neighborhood mechanic or anyone else who might be in a position to help you.
It’s important to test your HHO generator before installation. An untested generator might not wok after complete installation and hence may call for a repetition of the entire process. When it comes to the actual installation, there are few things to keep in mind.
Since, the HHO gas is released into the air intake sensors (after formation), the wire around this area could cause a flashback. An explosion can also occur in case the wires around the intake sensors are hot. In order to eliminate this possibility, make sure that you install your HHO generator when your car has not been used for the last couple of hours. You need to place the unit between the sensor and the throttle body, since heat is mostly absent in this area. Again, don’t assume that you know everything and in case of a doubt, ask.
When it comes to the HHO unit, it would be a better idea to use a fuse, so as to prevent any short circuit within or near the unit. For different models, different wiring instructions need to be followed due to varying designs of these engines. Also, since different engines require distinctive HHO quantity, due to their varying power requirements, so it would be a better idea to use a flashback arrestor mechanism on your generator. Such a mechanism can significantly reduce the chances of any flashbacks or explosions.
Also, before installation, make sure that your HHO generator is not running while the vehicle is shut off. This will prevent any unnecessary leakage or accumulation of HHO inside the car hood.
