The Saarthi K Series: A Revolutionary Hydrogen Fuel System with Automated Water Management
The Saarthi K Series Hydrogen Fuel System embodies excellence in engineering and precision design. Tailored for large vehicles with long operational hours, it boasts a high-capacity hydrogen production system at its core. A standout feature is its sophisticated water management system, incorporating a spacious main water tank and a seamlessly integrated auxiliary tank. This auxiliary tank is designed to automatically replenish the main system tanks, ensuring an uninterrupted hydrogen supply with minimal driver intervention. Simply refilling the auxiliary tank at convenience eliminates any concerns about running low on water.
A liter of water can produce up to 1,235 liters of hydrogen. For instance, the K series model can generate between 0.5 to 10 liters of hydrogen per minute, translating to a water requirement of about one liter every four hours during continuous operation for a large engine. This means a big highway truck on a standard 16-hour journey would need approximately four liters of water per day, a modest amount for significant fuel efficiency gains. Saarthi systems ensure that there is no refill needed in this journey.
The Saarthi system is ingeniously designed to ensure the hydrogen generation process is both efficient and safe. Hydrogen is produced directly within the system tanks, with the auxiliary tank being exclusively for water—free from hydrogen and safe to remain open if needed.
An integral part of the system, the scrubber, is meticulously designed to purify the hydrogen gas before it merges with the engine’s air intake. It works by creating steam through bubbling action, which slightly reduces water levels over time. Yet, the Saarthi system’s design allows for both the scrubber and the main tank to be refilled effortlessly from the auxiliary tank, backed by sophisticated electronics to maintain optimal water levels automatically.
The Saarthi K Series represents the pinnacle of innovative hydrogen production, compactness, and safety. Specially designed for vehicles requiring extensive use, it showcases Saarthi’s dedication to advancing fuel efficiency and promoting a greener environment.”
