Independent evaluation

Electrolyzer W laboratory evaluation by SENA

In August 2024, technical personnel at SENA Centro Metalmecánico in Bogotá evaluated the operation and documented parameters of an Efena Electrolyzer W under laboratory conditions.

What was evaluated

The two-hour evaluation covered equipment start and stop functions, oxyhydrogen production, gas flow, operating pressure, electrical input, reactor temperature, water use and the ability to supply gas to a test burner.

SENA stated that its personnel received no financial support for the evaluation and characterized its role as an impartial, nonprofit third party.

Reported conclusion: For the parameters evaluated, the unit met or exceeded the criteria stated in the manufacturer-supplied specifications.

ISO 22734 compliance roadmap

Efena has completed an internal preliminary review against selected technical and safety considerations associated with ISO 22734:2019. This is engineering preparation for future formal conformity work—not an accredited certification.

Completed

Operating-parameter evaluation

SENA documented the functionality and selected performance parameters of the tested unit.

In progress

Internal conformity review

Design, electrical, mechanical, operating and risk-control considerations are being organized against applicable requirements.

Future milestone

Accredited testing

Formal testing by appropriately accredited laboratories and any required certification remain pending.

Important: The Electrolyzer W is not presented here as ISO certified. References to ISO 22734 describe Efena’s ongoing compliance-development process.
Preliminary observations

Application testing and continuing research

Efena also records application-level observations to help define future controlled test programs. These observations are kept separate from independent validation and product certification.

Single-vehicle emissions observation

A preliminary test on a 2010 Hyundai Getz recorded exhaust readings before, during and after an oxyhydrogen treatment. The measurements reported in the internal document were:

Parameter Before During After
Carbon monoxide at cruise 0.22% 0.02% 0.03%
Unburned hydrocarbons at cruise 59 ppm 32 ppm 23 ppm
Unburned hydrocarbons at idle 27 ppm Not reported 20 ppm
These are observations from one vehicle under the documented test conditions. They do not establish deposit removal, fuel-economy improvement, engine restoration or performance expectations for other vehicles.
Responsible interpretation

What the evidence does—and does not—establish

The SENA evaluation supports

  • The tested unit produced oxyhydrogen.
  • The unit operated continuously for the two-hour evaluation.
  • Selected electrical, flow, temperature, pressure and water-use parameters were recorded.
  • The tested unit supplied gas to a demonstration burner.

It does not establish

  • ISO certification or regulatory approval.
  • Fuel savings for every boiler, oven, furnace or vehicle.
  • Performance outside the documented test configuration.
  • Suitability for an application without site-specific engineering review.

Planning an oxyhydrogen application?

Efena reviews the host equipment, fuel, duty cycle, operating environment and safety requirements before recommending a configuration.
