In this work an electrolyzer is used to produce Brown gas (HHO) from water by supplying a DC electrical power to it. , the produced HHO was fed directly into the diesel line before being introduced into a domestic boiler. The effect of the added amounts of HHO to the diesel fuel on both the performance of the boiler and on the amount of emitted pollutants during the combustion process was investigated. It was found that the combustion efficiency of the boiler is improved with the amount of the HHO added, also it was found that the emitted pollutants was noticeably reduced with the added amounts of HHO.
