Title: Port Fuel Injected Hydrogen in Dual Fuel Mode in Direct Injection Diesel Engine
Authors: Mohankumar, G; Dhanasekaran, C
Abstract: Hydrogen
is expected to be one of the most important fuel in the near future for solving
the problem caused by the greenhouse gases, for protecting environment and
saving conventional fuels. In this study, a dual fuel engine of hydrogen and
diesel was investigated. Hydrogen was conceded through the intake port, and
simultaneously air and diesel was pervaded into the cylinder. Using Electronic
Gas Injector and Electronic Control Unit (ECU), the injection timing and
duration are varied. In this investigation, a single cylinder, KIRLOSKAR AV1,
DI Diesel engine was used. Hydrogen
injection timing was fixed at TDC and injection duration was timed for 30°, 60°, and 90° crank angles. The injection timing of diesel
was fixed at 23° BTDC. When hydrogen is mixed with inlet air,
emanation of HC, CO and CO2 decreased without any emission
(exhaustion) of smoke while increasing the brake thermal efficiency.
