Epoch EP-350 Introduction (Mandarin Chinese)

[copetepato147]

Whats the electrolyte solution operating temperature in these machines? How do you chill the solution and keep it away from overheating over time? chiller? thanks

[EpochEnergyTech]

@copetepato147 The EP-350 is designed for ambient working temperatures of 5 to 40 degrees Centigrade. The internal operating temperature can be anything between 5 and 80 degrees Centigrade. There are sensors in place which prevent overheating. The EP-350 is air-cooled by fans. Our larger models are liquid cooled. Please feel free to check our website oxy-hydrogen(dot)com and contact our sales personnel for more information. Thanks!

what coolants do you recommend? liquid Hexane and....?

[EpochEnergyTech]

@copetepato147 Hexane and light naphtha.

[copetepato147]

Thats nice. Machines with flame modifier are kindda safer. They are less sensitive to produce flashbacks and thats a BIG and important fact. when no water bubbler is used i guess you use a regular commercial flashback arrestor device for protection (as i can see in the video) Is it that effective you dont need any kind of bubbler protection?

[copetepato147]

thanks for your response. But i have a question: Hexane reacts violently with oxygen compounds or even compressed air causing fire or explosion. How do you use it in your generators? If you put it in a bubbler wich is full of oxyhydrigen, what happens?

And in the video, the flame is not pure oxyhydrogen, it has a component added to it... and thats why you use extra oxygen for flame balancing. Is it hexane added? does it help to cut steel better?

[EpochEnergyTech]

@copetepato147 We are not sure where you got the information that hexane is such an aggressive substance. In its liquid form it is similar to other liquid fuels, it releases some vapor but does not react violently without ignition source.

When oxy-hydrogen gas is flowing through a bubbler filled with liquid hexane, it picks up some vapor. Some additional oxygen is added to balance the resulting gas vapor mixture for cleaner combustion.

[copetepato147]

@EpochEnergyTech Interesting fact. Im wondering if you use some kind of water filled bubbler for protection. If thats the case, do you use it after or before the hexane filled bubbler?

[EpochEnergyTech]

@copetepato147 Machines equipped with flame modifier usually do not come with another water bubbler. But in case no flame modifier equipment is installed, an internal water bubbler can take its place.

[copetepato147]

@EpochEnergyTech If a flashback takes place, is it safer to use the oxyhydrogen/hexane mixture instead of just pure oxyhydrogen? due to flame front (burning) velocity... i think it should be slower when the gas mixture its not in the stochiometric ratio but in a richer mixture state where theres not enough oxygen to burn it at max speed for maximum heat release.. how do you control moisture content of the gas if you use a water filled bubbler?

[EpochEnergyTech]

@copetepato147 Correct, in this case the flame velocity is slower and flashbacks can be avoided.

On machines without flame modifier equipment a gas dryer / water trap can be used to collect moisture.

[copetepato147]

@EpochEnergyTech or do you use separate containers for coolant and water? thanks

[EpochEnergyTech]

@copetepato147 If the machine is equipped with flame modifier (coolant), separate containers for water and flame modifier storage inside the machine are used.

[copetepato147]

Thanks

[copetepato147]

Do you use another chemical added to the Oxyhydrogen?? the flame uses extra oxygen for balancing... why? whats added as a coolant? is it acetone? or alcohol?? pure HHO flame is neutral and does not require extra oxygen... thats why i ask.

THanks in advance.

In certain applications where a lower flame temperature is required, a flame modifier can be used. Although a variety of flame modifiers can be used, depending on the configuration and need, the most effective is a liquid called Hexane. Availability of Hexane varies greatly from country to country, so please check your local regulations. When our oxy-hydrogen system is used as a supplement with other fuels, flame modifiers are not needed.

[EpochEnergyTech]

In addition, many applications, like steel cutting actually benefit from the extremely high temperature, focused flame that comes from pure oxy-hydrogen.
