Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) turbos.........think outside the housing

OK fellas , I aint no turbo guru but lets think here for a minute.



The more air we get in for the compressor wheel the more fuel we can run right. well at my job we run a reaction furnace that if fed 24 million cubic feet per day to add oxygen to the combustion furnace where the fuel is added, the air here and the air where you live is 21 % o2 and the rest is n2 which is innert gas and does not burn so its n2 in and n2 out right, all this n2 is taking up space, theroredically its a 3 to 1 ratio 3 parts n2 and 1 part o2 right , so the compressor wheel has to spin 3 times as fast to bring the desired o2 in,

At the job we added a o2 plant that is basically a n2 rejecter, it makes a 97 % pure o2 and we use a slip stream from it and add it to the air that normally feeds the furnace via huse blowers , we run the o2 % up to 28 % at times and this allows much more room for the acid gas fuel because we have alot less innerts in there.

I know we can add c3 propane to our rigs as a slip stream to the fuel but has anyone looked at adding extra o2 to up its concentration ?



The competition folks could use this but it is dangerous

Do a search for oxygen. This has been discussed within the past year.

Sure, but it goes in as N2O, which is non-flammable until it gets in the cylinder.
