Nitrous oxide has an effect that improves performance even more. When it vaporises, nitrous oxide provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. When you reduce the intake air temperature, you increase the air’s density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder. You release the oxygen in sodium chlorate by heating it. It has been out that nitrous oxide (NOx) works exactly the same way. When you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 degrees F (∼300°C), it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Figure 14 shows the emission of NOx at different brake powers. At 100% load, D2 shows the least emission value which is 543 ppm which is far lesser than the value obtained from neat diesel at the same load percentage.
