Current H2 combustion engines mainly use lean-burn concepts with air/fuel ratios of λ > 2.0 to reduce raw NOx emissions, avoid irregular combustion (knocking, pre-ignition), and, to lower the exhaust gas temperatures for reduce component thermal loading (important for heavy-duty engines, with typical time between overhauls of 20,000 to 80,000 hours). Nonetheless, Exhaust gas After Treatment Systems (EATS) for reducing NOx are required (SCR). The proposed project follows a different concept and builds on results from the predecessor project H2-DI: A nearly stoichiometric operation with high-pressure H2-injection near top dead centre, in conjunction with an ignition source. Spark advance shortly after the start of injection enables almost free shaping of combustion by the injection rate. Using slightly sub-stoichiometric operation, the high NOx emissions can be reduced using H2 as a reducing agent. The mixing-controlled fuel conversion further avoids knocking and enabling efficiency-optimized combustion phasing. The process described targets high power density and efficiency, low exhaust gas temperatures and adapted EATS for high-load operation.
