Safety Warning
Attention! Hydrogen is a highly flammable gas. Ensure that no sparks,
ashes, naked flame, or hot surfaces are present in the proximity of the
electrolyser cell, gas delivery hoses, or gas dryer (bubbler), when
installing, configuring, testing, or operating the equipment.
Any modifications, alternations, or other work on the combustion engine,
whether mobile in case of vehicles or mechanisms, or stationary in case of
power generators, must be carried out by a qualified mechanic, using
appropriate tools and consumables.
Purpose
The Carbon-cleaning machine is used for controlled, stable, and safe continuous production
of hydrogen-oxygen mix, often called HHO gas, or Brown gas. The HHO gas is used in such
application as carbon cleaning of combustion engine and exhaust internal components, and
precision welding. The HHO gas is produced via electrolysis of a water, with small quantities
of potassium hydroxide (KOH) added to ensure electrical conductivity.
Benefits of carbon-cleaning
Regular carbon-cleaning of the engine and the exhaust components is part of the good-
practice preventive maintenance strategy. Some of the benefits of the regular carbon-
cleaning are reduced emissions, reduced maintenance costs, and reduced fuel consumption.
Tip. For best results, it is recommended to perform the carbon-cleaning
maintenance operation every 25,000 km or once per year, or at each oil
change, whichever comes first. For vehicles operating in non-favourable
conditions, e.g. prolonged idling, lack of diesel particulate filter
regeneration, frequent start-stop, short journey, cold starts, variable fuel
quality, etc. the carbon cleaning is recommended at much shorter
intervals, or on as-needed basis.
Working principle
During electrolysis, hydrogen and oxygen are released when the direct electric current
passes between electrodes through water, in which the electrodes are submerged. By
controlling the electric current, and other parameters of the electrolyser cell, the quantity of
the HHO has production can be regulated.
For HHO gas production, the electrolyser uses an external power source. The HHO gas
generator is powered by 220 Vac mains electricity source. Some portable or embedded

models of the HHO gas generators are power from 12/24 Vdc on-board vehicle alternator,
depending on the model.
Once the HHO gas is produced in the electrolyser cell, it is then cooled, dried, and
dispatched according to the application. Some of the examples of the applications are
carbon-cleaning and precision welding.
The main consumable in the electrolysis process is the electrolyte. The electrolyte
consumption rate varies depending on the model, HHO gas production rates, loss of
electrolyte due to evaporation, etc. A regular top-up of electrolyte is required for safe
operation of the equipment.
Appearance
The machine is designed to withstand regular use in typical industrial environments, such as
an automotive service garage, or a welding shop, or similar. The steel chassis is mounted on
lockable wheels. The slanted top front surface hosts the operator control panel. The vertical
front panel can be customised according to customer requirements, i.e. customer logo,
company name and contacts, or similar. Robust handles are located on both sides of the
operator control panel, for ease of rolling the machine. The side panels have openings for
cooling fans and the power supply cord. The back panel has a small swivel lockable door
which provides access to gas dryer(s) and the HHO gas supply hose. An electrolyte cell drain
valve is located at the very bottom of the back panel.

Operator Control Panel
The visual representation of the Operator Control panel is shown below.
Control Panel variant in English
Control Panel variant in French
The main On/Off switch is located on the left of the control panel. During the normal
operation, the machine is turned on and off by means of operating the switch.
The mushroom-type red emergency stop button is located to the right of the main On/Off
switch. The emergency pushbutton cuts the power to the entire system and should be used
exclusively in emergency situations when a fast shutdown of all subsystems of the machine
is required.
The HHO gas production quantity regulator is located to the right of the red On/Off switch.
The HHO gas regulator is a black potentiometer with an index mark. By rotating the gas
regulator, the HHO gas production volume could be increased (clockwise rotation) or
decreased (counterclockwise rotation).
A 3-digit display showing the current HHO gas production setpoint is located above the gas
regulator dial. The HHO gas production value is shown in litres per minute.
