Effect of Different Hydrogen-CNG Supply Method on the Combustion and Emission Characteristics in a SI Engine 2023-32-0048
The purpose of this study is to reduce cooling loss in gas engines using hydrogen. In this report, the effect of different hydrogen-CNG supply methods on combustion and exhaust characteristics of SI engine were investigated. As a result, the 13A-port-injection caused sharp heat release at hydrogen addition ratio (RH) of 20 %, with a maximum brake thermal efficiency of 27.5 %. Also, the hydrogen-port-injection promotes combustion above RH=40 % and reduces cooling loss, resulting in a maximum brake thermal efficiency of 31.0 % at RH=80 %, 1.8 pt higher than that of the 13A-port-injection.
