摘要

This study evaluates the combined effects of hydrogen (H2) share and diesel injection timing (DIT) on combustion, performance, and emissions in a heavy-duty common rail direct injection (CRDI) diesel engine operating in dual-fuel mode. Experiments were conducted at a constant speed of 1700 rpm under varying loads (0–100 Nm, step: 20 Nm). Diesel acted as a high-reactivity pilot fuel (direct injection), while H2 served as a low-reactivity secondary fuel (port injection, 5–25 SLPM). DIT significantly influenced the in-cylinder pressure behavior. At 8° bTDC, peak cylinder pressure decreased with increasing H2 flow, whereas at 12° bTDC, pressure initially increased and then declined at higher H2 rates. Brake thermal efficiency (BTE) improved with load for both timings, with an optimum H2 flow of 15 SLPM achieving ~ 42% BTE (from ~ 25%) at 80 Nm. Brake-specific energy consumption (BSEC) was minimized at 12° bTDC with 20 SLPM H2 at 100 Nm. Enhanced combustion under H2 enrichment led to a ~ 60% reduction in CO emissions and lower HC emissions, while CO2 remained relatively stable. However, NOx emissions increased due to higher in-cylinder temperatures associated with advanced combustion. Overall, BTE increased with increasing hydrogen flow rate and advanced injection timing, reaching its highest values at 20–25 SLPM H2 and 12° bTDC. However, considering the combined effects of performance, combustion characteristics, and emissions, the most balanced operating condition was achieved at 15 SLPM H2, 12° bTDC, and 80 Nm load. The results ensured that current research enhances combustion efficiency and engine performance.
