PV integrated on-demand water electrolysis system for HHO generation and it application as primary fuel in combustion

Abstract

The brown’s gas also known as HHO gas has been produced using dye cell alkaline water electrolyser using 316L stainless plates. The electrolyzer has been integrated with solar panel using battery bank and charge controller to develop on-demand HHO generation system. The produced gas has been employed as primary fuel for combustion and its effectiveness has been investigated. Preliminary observations revealed that the photovoltaic (PV) integrated alkaline water electrolysis system exhibits smooth operation and provides proper control over the production process. On the other hand, the utilization of HHO gas as primary fuel displayed highly satisfying results. The developed system has the capacity to generate HHO on the order of 3L/min at 15Amps and it almost instantly burn paper and acrylic sheet.
