Objective In this project, a high-flux system producing oxygen-enriched air will be developed. First calculations promise a72 percent net power increase over conventional turbo-charging. The reduction of nitrogen and the enrichment of oxygen in air for motive combustion has the following advantages:(1) Enhanced power to diesel and gasoline engines (min.70% net power increase).(2) Significantly lower soot and VOC emissions through complete and clean combustion (min. 95% reduction).(3) Significantly reduced N2 intake into the combustion process and therefore reduced NOx emission potential and smaller exhaust gas system requirements (min. 75% reduction).(4) Broader use of high viscosity diesel-fuelled engines.(5) Reduced peak cylinder pressure.(6) Reduced start-up emissions. (7) Other industrial fields of application are increasing power densities in fuel cells or gasification processes.(8) Other private sector applications include lightweight portable respirator units and improved blood oxygenators.
