Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

General Questions

  1. What is DecarbX?
    The brand DecarbX is the intellectual property of Dr Rakesh Chandola, a pioneering name in global branding and marketing solutions. The kit is an advanced add-on kit that integrates with existing trucks, buses, cars and other internal combustion engines (ICE's), enhancing fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and driving sustainable innovation in transportation.

  2. How does DecarbX work?
    Dr Rakesh's DecarbX system utilizes on-demand electrolysis to produce HHO gas (Brown’s Gas)—a precise mixture of hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) derived from water. This gas is immediately injected into the engine’s air intake, where it acts as a combustion catalyst, enhancing fuel burn efficiency.

    Key Benefits:

    • 40-70% average fuel efficiency improvement (varies by engine condition)

    • 90%+ reduction in HC/NOx emissions

    • No hydrogen storage required

  3. Is this hydrogen fuel cell?

    No. A fuel cell converts hydrogen into electricity (e.g., for EVs). The SamJo DecarbX system supplements existing fuel combustion by introducing HHO gas directly into the engine, requiring no infrastructure changes—just specially treated water and minimal electricity from your alternator.

  4. Is DecarbX Safe?
    Because HHO is generated only when the engine runs and no high pressure hydrogen storage in tanks, DecarbX system is as safe as any automobile. Such systems are crash tested and are proven to be just as safe as any internal combustion engine (ICE).

  5. Describe the variants?

    • Dr Sam's DecarbX comes in three sizes, designed to match various vehicle power outputs for various engines. Each system includes all necessary hardware, connections and fittings for seamless integration. Engine-safe and non-intrusive, DecarbX operates without affecting the vehicle engine's normal performance.

    • The technology's on-demand hydrogen generator electrolyzes water into HHO gas (66% hydrogen, 33% oxygen).

    • The end result: transforming vibrating, polluting, inefficient engines into clean, high-performance powerhouses.

  6. Who can benefit from DecarbX?
    Industries (transportation, construction, manufacturing), governments, fleet operators, and individuals seeking to cut emissions, lower fuel costs, and extend engine lifespan.

Tech questions

  1. Is the system compatible with fuel-injected and carbureted engines/ LPG, CNG, or hybrid vehicles?

    Yes.

    • Carbureted engines: Adjust air-fuel mixture manually.

    • Fuel-injected (OBD2) engines: Requires an EFIE tuner (gasoline) or diesel tuner

    • LPG/CNG: improves efficiency and reduces emissions.

    • Hybrids (e.g., Prius): Possible but requires advanced relay integration

  2. Does the system affect my alternator or battery?

    • Modern alternators (80A+): No issues (as it only draws 18-25A).

    • Older vehicles (pre-1980s): May require an alternator upgrade.

  3. How does SamJo’s Hybrid Cell differ from wet/dry cells?

    Our patented Hybrid Cell combines the best of both:
    ✔ Higher efficiency (30% more gas production)
    ✔ Leak-proof design (chemically welded, no gaskets)
    ✔ Simplified maintenance (only 2 hose connections)

  4. How does DecarbX handle engine knock/pre-ignition?

    HHO’s high flame speed (40,000 ft/s vs. gasoline’s 4,000 ft/s) reduces knock by shortening combustion time.

    ECU Integration: Our EFIE tuner adjusts timing dynamically

  5. Can DecarbX compensate for low-quality fuel (e.g., high sulfur diesel)?

    Yes. HHO’s oxygen content improves combustion of low-cetane/poor-quality fuels.

    Note: Sulfur content >50ppm may require more frequent electrolyte changes.

  6. What is the role of the Smart PWM Controller?

    It limits draw to 25A peak, protecting the alternator.

  7. What’s the plate material in your electrolyzer?

    316L stainless steel (low carbon, high corrosion resistance).

    Anodized coating extends lifespan to >50,000 hours.

  8. Are emissions test results (BS6/EPA compliant)?

    • Certified Results: 93% reduction in HC/NOx in BS6 tests (report #DEC-2023-014).

    • EPA Verification: Pending (target Q2 2025).

    • ARAI certification awaited April 2025

  9. Can DecarbX integrate with telematics for fleet tracking?

    Yes. Our IoT module (optional) logs:

    ✔ Real-time HHO production

    ✔ Fuel savings per vehicle

    ✔ Emission reductions (g/km CO₂)

    ✔ API outputs integrate with Fleetio, Geotab, etc.

    Operations

  10. What fuel efficiency gains can I expect?

    • Average: 40-50% improvement (real-world data).

    • Best-case: Up to 80% (depends on engine condition, driving habits).

  11. How often do I refill the water reservoir?

  • Typical usage: Depending on distances, about 2-3 liters every 2 weeks (varies by driving conditions).

  • Low-amp settings: Further reduce water consumption.

    1. What happens if I run out of water?

    The system safely shuts down—no damage occurs. Performance drops noticeably before depletion.

    1. Maintenance?

    DecarbeX is engineered for seamless integration with any internal combustion engine, including those with ECU-based control systems and performance modifications. Its advanced design requires little to no maintenance, ensuring long-term functionality.

    1. Warranty terms?
      Our 2 years warranty + 10 year extended warranty gives clients complete peace of mind.

    2. What’s the operating temperature range?

      Standard: -20°C to +60°C.

      Extreme Cold: Additive packages prevent freezing (tested to -40°C).

      Heat Mitigation: Aluminum heat sinks prevent overheating.

    3. How does humidity/altitude affect performance?

      Humidity: Negligible impact (system uses sealed reservoir).

      Altitude: Leaner air at elevation enhances HHO’s effect

    Market & Business

    1. How does one measure carbon reduction?

    Via real-time monitoring of tailpipe emissions (zero CO/HC/NOx) and fuel savings (50–55% reduction).

    1. DecarbX cost and integration time
      Price varies depending on the type of engine. For truck/ Bus engine, for instance MRP with taxes would typically range from ₹6 to 16 Lakhs with the retro fitting complete in under 3 to 4 hours. This investment is typically realised within 6 months as diesel savings!

    1. Why have you kept the MRP so low?
      A key barrier to market entry is price. For mass adoption, our technology must be affordable and widely accessible. Rapid scaling accelerates revenue growth and speeds up domination over air pollution.
