(23100 Valerio St., West Hills, CA 91307), _ has been found not to reduce the effectivenessof the apphcable vehicle pollution control systems and therefore, the HKHZ2Hydrogen Generator Device is exempt fromthe prohibitions in Section 27156 ofthe Vehicle Code for all 1900—2000 model year (MY) —light/medium/heavy heavy—duty on—road gasoline or diesel engines up to 20.0 liters.. The HH2 device cdhélsts of an acrylic water réservon varloué électrlcél compohénts electrical wiring and connectors,. an electrolyte (sodium citrate), and viny!] supply hoses _ for the: hydrogen gasand oxygen gas. . This Executive Order is based on emission test results using Heavy-Duty Federai Test . Procedure (FTP) Transient Cycle test submitted by HH2 Energy Inc. with the HH2 Hydrogen Generator Device. If evidence provides the Air Resources Board with reasons to suspect that the HH2 Hydrogen Generator Device will affect the durability of the emission control system, _ HH2 Energy Inc. shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability of the vehicle emission control system is not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified parts demonstrate adequate durability, — _ This Executive Order is valid provided that installation mstructlons for the HH2 Hydrogen Generator Device do not recommend tuning the vehicles to spemflcahons different from those of the vehicle manufacturer. Changes made to the design or operating conditiohs of the‘ HH2 Hydrogen Generator Device, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s emission control system, shall invalidaté this Executive Order. Marketing of the HH2 Hydrogen Generator Device using identification other thanthat shown in this Executive Order or for an application other than that listed in this . Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtamed from the Air Resources Board.

Exemption of the HKH2 Hydrogen Generator Device shall not be construed as exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of the kit as an individual device. This Executive Order shall not apply to any HH2 Hydrogen Generator Device advertised, offeredfor sale, sold with, or installed on a motor vehicle prlor to or concurrent with transfer to an ultlmate purchaser.

EVALUATION SUMMARY Manufacturer Name: HH2 Energy Inc. _ Name of Device: HH2 Hydrogen Generator Device Background: HH2 Energy Inc. of 23100 Valerio St., West Hills, CA 91307 has applied for exemptlon from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the Cahforn;a Vehicle Code for its HH2 Hydrogen . Generator Device. The device is designed for all 1900—2000 model year (MY) light/medium/heavy heavy—duty on—road gasoline or diesel engines up to 20.0 liters. Recommendatlon Grant exemptionto HKH2 Energy Inc. asrequested andissue Executlve Order D—704—1. Device Description: The HH2 device produces hydrogen through an electrolySIS process by supplying electricity from the vehicle‘s battery to stainless steel metal tubes submerged in a reservoir containing distilled water and an electrolyte (sodium citrate). The device is connected to the _ vehicle‘s battery through a relay switch so that hydrogen gas is only produced when the engine is operating. The device consists of an acrylic water reservoir (which contains the metal tubes), relay switches, electrical wiring and connectors, an electrolyte (sodlum citrate), and vinyl supply hoses for the hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. . DlscuSSIon/BaS|s for the Recommendatlon This exemption is based. on the following emission test conducted on a 2000 MY Cummins ISM 10.8L heavy—duty diesel engine, engine family YCEXHOS61MAI, with HH2 Energy Inc.‘s HH2 Hydrogen Generator Device installed: The emission test results are shown below: Hot—Start FTP Transient Cycle Emission Test : | FTP Transient Cycle Emissions (grams/bhp—hr) - HC . _ _CO _ NOx PM FTP Emission Standards . 1.3 ©15.5 . 4.0 0.10 FTP Results w/ HH2 device Installed . ~ 04 1.3 | 3.9 0.08 . All exhaust emission test results for FTP transient cycle emission testing on the 2000 MY Cummins ISM 10.8L heavy—duty diesel engine modified with the HH2 Hydrogen Generator Device showed that the modified engine met the exhaust emission standards. Similar results are expected when HH2 Energy Inc.‘s HKH2 Hydrogen Generator Device is used on the 1900—2000 MY light/medium/heavy heavyduty on—road gasoline or diesel engines up to 20.0 . liters as stated in this application:
