The Electronic Equalizer
"EFIE" Unit

Our latest Vehicles are manufactured with a (built-in) On-Board Computer. A section of the Computer is programmed to continually adjust the voltage to the Fuel Injector Rack to maintain the ideal Air to Fuel Ratio to 14.7 to 1 (14.7 Parts Air to 1 Part Fuel) for best engine efficiency.

The Equalizer, also called the "EFIE," acts as a Bridging Unit between the Oxygen Sensor and the On-Board Computer. It provides an automatic, floating feed-back voltage, which is added to the existing voltage being produced by the Oxygen Sensor, and is sent to the On-Board Computer, normally, for a total of +475 mvdc.

A Hydrogen Fuel Cell System, Retrofitted to a Standard Vehicle Engine, which was not programmed into the vehicle Computer, may need to have an "Equalizer" unit, installed between the Existing "Oxygen Sensor Unit" and the Computer. This will assist the Vehicle Computer to automatically adjust the ideal Air/Fuel Ratio.

This is also a very useful item in the event your State Vehicle Inspection for air pollution becomes mandatory.

Details and Tidbits:

The Equalizer comes complete with a manual ON/OFF Switch, for Hydrogen Fuel Cell System control. In the event the water level should drop too low, blow a fuse or trip the circuit breaker, the Oxygen Sensor Element will not detect Hydrogen Gas being burned. In this case, you would Manually turn the Equalizer OFF and the system will return to normal operation until the water level is restored, the circuit breaker is reset and the system has been turned back ON.

NOTE: In general, older model vehicles, with standard Carburetors will not use such a device as an equalizer, but may be retrofitted with a Hydrogen Fuel Cell type of system, and work quite well.

How It Works:

NOTE: The efficient Air/Fuel Ratio should be 14.7 to 1.
This means: 14.7 parts Air, to/ 1 part Fuel

When the Hydrogen Fuel Cell System starts working: Hydrogen Gas, mixed with the normal air, at the Engine Air Intake Manifold, will develop a leaner Air/Fuel Ratio mixture of approximately 16 to 1, which is Too LEAN. At this time the Vehicle Computer will increase fuel passage to the Fuel Injector Rack, decreasing the Air/Fuel Ratio, to approximately 13 to 1. which is Too RICH

The Equalizer unit, adjusted properly, will normally correct the Vehicle computer by adding voltage to the Oxygen Sensor Unit, therefore changing the Computer output capability, in turn will decrease Fuel Flow to the injector rack, increasing Air/Fuel ratio to normal of approximately 14.7 to 1, As it Should Be.

NOTE: Older model vehicles with a Standard Carburetor, without a computer system are more efficient with Hydrogen Gas injected in the Air Intake Manifold, and will not need the Equalizer Unit.
