Sensors for HHO dry-cell performance monitoring

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on selecting appropriate sensors for monitoring HHO dry-cell performance parameters. Key requirements include sensors for electrolyte level monitoring in both the bubbler and dry-cell, a digital pressure sensor, and a temperature sensor. The user emphasizes the importance of maintaining equal electrolyte levels to prevent overheating and plans to compare flow measurements using a rotameter against a displacement method for accuracy. The preference is for sensors with digital displays for ease of use.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of HHO dry-cell technology
  • Familiarity with sensor types and specifications
  • Knowledge of fluid dynamics and electrolyte behavior
  • Experience with data analysis in MS Excel
NEXT STEPS
  • Research suitable digital level sensors for electrolyte monitoring
  • Explore options for digital pressure sensors and their installation
  • Investigate temperature sensors compatible with HHO dry-cells
  • Learn about flow measurement techniques and calibration methods
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for engineers, hobbyists, and researchers involved in HHO technology, particularly those focused on optimizing dry-cell performance and monitoring system parameters effectively.

Hello All,

i am working on an HHO dry-cell project for which i need to decide upon the sensors to be used in monitoring the process parameters.

1. some sensor for monitoring and displaying the electrolyte level in the bubbler during experiment.

2. some sensor for monitoring the electrolyte level in the dry-cell.this is very critical.although i have made 2mm holes in the SS 316 L plates(anode,cathode and neutral) in bottom zig-zag arrangement to allow for equal flow and equal leveling of electroylte in each cell.i still need to ensure that this is achieved..what should i do for that? unequal electrolyte level in cells will certainly overheat them.

3. do i need a digital pressure sensor? where do i installl it?i intend to buy a flow/rotameter too.intially will measure the HHO flow rate by displacement method(in the water tub and 1 litre bottle) and have maximum readings for one configuration/experiment. will compare the rotamter readings with this conventional method to find the correction factor and will key that in MS EXCEL.so that this should relief me from performing the displacement method for all those experiment i perform..

4. what sensor to use for reading and monitoring the dry-cell temperature?

Please suggest the appropriate sensors for each .sensors with a digital display would be preferable.

regards,
