HOW BOOSTBOX H2 WORKS
HOW BOOSTBOX H2 WORKS
Every day there are millions of diesel engines spewing billions of tons of particulates and greenhouse gasses into our atmosphere. By injecting a small amount of hydrogen into the combustion process, our patented BoostBox H2 system improves the efficiency of the diesel combustion process, not only improving emissions but also increasing fuel efficiency and torque. Instead of simply filtering the exhaust, we address emissions at the combustion source.
Our system works by creating hydrogen on demand from distilled water on board your vehicle. We inject that hydrogen into the air intake to blend with the incoming air which improves the efficiency of combustion, resulting in a faster, more complete ignition and burn of the available fuel. Normally, fuel is ignited several degrees before the beginning of the combustion/power stroke and is still burning when the piston reaches the bottom of the power stroke. The remaining, unburnt fuel is jettisoned through the exhaust system in the form of hydrocarbon emissions. With BoostBox H2, the injection of the hydrogen acts as a combustion catalyst, to more completely combust the available diesel fuel faster, hotter and earlier in the power stroke. This translates into:
- An increase in TORQUE, and lower RPM … bottom line, less fuel used.
- For each gallon of diesel not used, 22.4 pounds of CO2 is NOT released into the atmosphere
- A HIGHER COMBUSTION temperature reduces hydrocarbon particulate emissions
- A FASTER COMBUSTION process means a cooler engine, resulting in an increase in the efficiency of the combustion process and fewer NOx gasses produced.

SPECIFICATIONS
The 7th generation BoostBox H2 system is a ruggedized 18″x16″x14″ box made of recycled and recyclable materials. Inside, the top half houses our technology and the bottom half is a water reservoir which holds enough water for around 2500 miles of on-road use. This reliable system has a single moving part, a Swiss military grade diaphragm pump. Use is as simple as adding distilled water.
A typical installation takes 3 hours to mount the box on the catwalk behind the cab or on the chassis rail, as well as add an in-dash display for the driver to monitor the system. We do not interface with any other onboard system. The BoostBox H2 system is designed as an aftermarket installation for all diesel applications, including transportation, marine, stationary power, and more.
