19/06/2016Asst. Prof. from the Faculty of Engineering at RMUTT innovated electronic circuits to produce ozone gas for automobiles, which helps reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and fuel. It also increases automobile horsepower torque, acceleration, and commercial sales in the domestic automobile market.
Asst. Prof. Dr. Jakkree Srinonchat from the Department of Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications, Faculty of Engineering at RMUTT innovated the Multi-controller Voltage Multiplier Circuit (MVMC) with ElectronicPro Design Co., Ltd. He said that MVMC is an innovative product for automobiles. It is small, lightweight, easy to install as no engine modification is needed, and can be used in both benzene and diesel engines.
Dr. Jakkree said that the amount of cars has been increasing which leads to an exponential increase in fuel consumption. Automobile exhaust causes pollution due to the combustion engine, which needs oxygen to convert into carbon monoxide. Thus, for good engine combustion, automobiles need pure oxygen, the reason why MVMC was created. MVMC converts oxygen into ozone gas with help from a high frequency electric field, which improves complete engine combustion and ultimately engine performance.
Dr. Jakkree also mentioned that MVMC is activated via a controller that discharges stable electric through an intermediary shaped like a blade, mounted in the intake manifold, in order to make the intake manifold react to the oxygen and create ozone gas. This makes the amount of oxygen in the combustion chamber increase by 1.5 times due to the breakdown of ozone gas in the combustion chamber, resulting in an increase in automobile horsepower torque as the combustion is complete. Thus, automobiles will be capable of going longer distances while oil supply remains unchanged. Also, results from tests reveal that MVMC is found to be 15-30% more fuel efficient and decreases the amount of black smoke by more than 30%.
Furthermore, Dr. Jakkree said that RMUTT and ElectronicPro Design Co., Ltd. are partnering with Increase (Thailand) Co., Ltd. for testing and product design to add value to their innovation in order to prepare for full commercialization. They plan to penetrate the domestic automobile market, specifically technology, energy, and the environment. The product will be launched with the name “INCREASE,” an innovation that increases engine performance, takes into account the environment, and decreases long-term engine maintenance costs. It also holds RoHS environmental standards from International Testing Service Co., Ltd. For more information, call 02-549-4990.
