Benefits of technology

"The present invention is related to an oxy-hydrogen generator control system. The system includes a burner assembly, an oxy-hydrogen generator, a valve, and a controller. The controller is responsible for detecting a heat distribution source signal to initiate oxy-hydrogen fuel generation, detecting a burner assembly signal that an ignition source is enabled, and providing a valve opening signal to allow oxy-hydrogen fuel into the burner assembly. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a system that can efficiently control the generation and distribution of oxy-hydrogen fuel for industrial applications."

Problems solved by technology

Heating and hot water systems where people reside or work that rely on petroleum fuel can be cost prohibitive and waste fuel due to inefficient combustion.
Inefficient combustion also produces higher levels of pollution.
Additionally, traditional storage of hydrogen alone involved keeping it as a liquid in a pressurized tank which can present dangerous conditions.
For example, in storage tanks, there exists an ever present danger that the storage tank may explode.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

[0014]Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention generally provides an oxy-hydrogen generation integration and control system. In one aspect, exemplary embodiments of the present invention may be useful in, for example, residential or commercial environments. Aspects of the present invention may supply an oxy-hydrogen fuel as an alternative heating source to petroleum based systems. Aspects of the present invention may generate oxy-hydrogen fuel on demand rather than storing a static supply of fuel. By contrast with heating systems that rely on petroleum fuel, oxy-hydrogen on demand generation uses water as the only fuel st...

Abstract

An oxy-hydrogen generator control system may include an oxy-hydrogen generator for fuel production on demand. A controller may determine if ignition is present in a burner assembly prior to generating the oxy-hydrogen fuel and providing it to the burner assembly. The controller may also purge system lines of any residual oxy-hydrogen fuel when heating is no longer needed.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application having Ser. No. 61 / 472,978 filed Apr. 7, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to fuel generation systems, and more particularly to an oxy-hydrogen fuel generation system.[0003]Heating and hot water systems where people reside or work that rely on petroleum fuel can be cost prohibitive and waste fuel due to inefficient combustion. Inefficient combustion also produces higher levels of pollution.[0004]Additionally, traditional storage of hydrogen alone involved keeping it as a liquid in a pressurized tank which can present dangerous conditions. For example, in storage tanks, there exists an ever present danger that the storage tank may explode.[0005]As can be seen, there is a need for a safe fuel source that can be generated on demand. Additionally, t...
