production are found by researchers. Some processes are not economical so, in this paper use the cheaper method of
hydrogen production which is electrolysis process. The HHO gas was produced by the process of water electrolysis with
various electrode designs in a hydrogen generator. This paper presents the concern with the HHO gas addition on emission
and combustion characteristics of a Constant speed CI engine with variable compression ratio like that 16, 17 and 18 and
loads(1,3,5,7,9). The effect will be shown on the graphs of CI engine for the CO, HC, CO2 and NOx with the use of HHO
and a variable compression ratio at 16, 17 and 18 and loads.
This instrument measures the CO, HC, CO2, O2, NOx and tem-
perature.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
Experimental Procedure:
Start the engine and wait for the steady state condition.
Start the HHO kit and wait for hydrogen production and wait
for steady state condition of it.
After the steady state condition of engine, taken a reading of
emission for conventional diesel for various compression ratios
(16, 17 and 18) and loads (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 kg).
Now, hydrogen introducing with diesel and wait for the
steady state condition and constant flow rate of hydrogen. Figure 6 Load Vs HC at CR 16
Before starting the reading, engine must be reached at steady
state condition for correct reading of emission.
And then take reading of emission for various compression ra-
tios (16, 17 and 18) with varying loads (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 kg).
Then, from the reading of emission plot the graphs and con-
clude some result which given below.

2) Effect on HC Emission
CONCLUSION
The HHO gas is taken for experimental but it is secondary fuel,
which could help in reduce the emission of CI engine. Hear
one experiment is conducted to know the combined effect of
HHO gas and compression ratio on the emission of a diesel
engine.
Figure 11 Load Vs CO2 at CR 18 This experiment measures the effect of different compression
ratio at 16, 17 and 18.
When introducing the HHO in diesel engine with constant
flow rate, CO2 is increases compared to diesel Engine. At compression ratio 16 shows the drastic change in CO but
minor change in HC and NOx and no drastic change is seen
If combustion is good CO2 emission will be more this effect in CO2.
is produced at low load conditions at higher load condition.
If combustion is not good, then CO2 emission will be less this At compression ratio 17 minor changes are seen in all emis-

sion ratio. [4]
At compression ratio 18 shows the drastic change in HC,
4) Effect on NOx Emission CO2 and NOx but minor change is seen in CO.
Figure 12, 13, and 14 shows the load Vs. NOx graph which
shows the effect on NOx at 16, 17 and 18 compression ratio. So, hear conclude that compression ratio 18 is better to re-
duce the engine emission.
When introducing the HHO in diesel engine with constant
flow rate, NOx is increases compare to diesel Engine. FUTURE SCOPE
The HHO gas is taken for experimental but it is secondary fuel,
which could help in increase the performance of CI engine
and reduce the emission. From the graph not conclude that at
which load or compression ratio is most preferred for reduce
engine emission. So, find the optimum value of load and the
compression ratio at which reduce emission of diesel engine.
