Nitrous oxide (N2O)
Excellent method for introducing additional fuel and air into the engine thus increasing the horsepower of the engine by burning more fuel
Nitrous oxide is formed by
2N + O àß N2O
It’s the non-flammable gas that is converted into
pressurized liquid state for storage in the bottle
Advantages of nitrous oxide in the IC engine vehicles
- When the liquid nitrous is injected it changes into gaseous state and drops its temp to -88C.Cools down the whole intake manifold therefore more fuel + air mixture packs in the cylinders due to low temperature compression
- After the compression stroke in the cylinder it heats up and during the extreme heat of combustion once it reaches 315 C the nitrous oxide breaks into nitrogen and oxygen (N2O àN2+O). This addition oxygen combustion with additional fuel giving additional power
Construction
Two types of nitrous oxide system designs
Dry system
Solenoid only injects nitrous oxide
Only nitrous is injected through solenoid and air normally
enters into manifold. It is possible in the vehicles having electric fuel injector
as we need additional fuel so that extra oxygen from nitrous oxide can burn it
for more horse power. The extra fuel in such vehicles is obtained by increasing
the injection time. This all depends on Engine control unit (ECU).
Wet system
Solenoid injects nitrous as well as fuel
Nitrous + additional fuel is injected through solenoid into
the intake manifold. No change is done in vehicles existing fuel system. The air also enters normally to intake
manifold. This type of system is possible in the engine having cam values (mechanical
values)
