Experimental Analysis of Hydrogen-Diesel Combination with Timed Manifold Injection at Different Crank Angles
摘要
Present days we have depletion of fossil fuels. We need to choose an alternative resource instead of fossil fuels. The main problem with the fossil fuels in IC Engines are the pollutants, we need to reduce the pollutants we can choose an alternative fuel or Green energy sources. Due to the general approaching issue of fossil fuel depletion and ever-increasing energy demand, the need for effective energy usage is being felt all over the world. In this study, the effect of hydrogen assisted diesel combustion was investigated on single cylinder, four stroke, direct injection light duty compressed ignition engine, with exhaust emission being the main spotlight. In this experiment, injection timing was varied from 9° BTDC to 9° TDC in steps of 9° BTDC each; the crank angle of the engine was achieved through altering the position of the pump cam in relation to the engine crank shaft. The combination of diesel with hydrogen and crank angle 9° with respect to TDC is used to evaluate the emission characteristics, and performance characteristics.
