Overview
Background & Policy context
The most pollutant effect of the internal combustion engines is caused by their emissions, which specially appear due to the fossil fuels combustion imperfection. Because of its properties, hydrogen improves the combustion process inside the engine's cylinder so that the engine fuelled with gasoline and amounts of hydrogen could prove a maximum efficiency and a low emissions' level without significant design modifications.
Objectives
The general objective of this project is the use of the hydrogen as an additional fuel for the improvement of the combustion process inside the engine's cylinder, for the efficiency increase and the emissions' decrease. Particular objectives include:
- to describe, to analyse and to establish the operational and constructive solution of the gasoline and hydrogen fuelled engine;
- to design the hydrogen fuelling equipment - functional model;
- to design the hydrogen fuelled engine - functional model;
- to perform the hydrogen fuelling equipment - functional model;
- to perform the hydrogen fuelled engine - functional model;
- to carry out experimental investigations of the gasoline and hydrogen fuelled engine;
- to develop a technical handbook of the gasoline and hydrogen fuelled engine;
- to achieve spreading of the technical data.
Methodology
- The research activity starts with the modelling of the thermodynamics processes inside the engine's cylinder fuelled with gasoline and amounts of hydrogen in order to establish, to design and to build the functional and structural engine solution;
- The research tests carried out in the laboratory of the Internal Combustion Engines Department of the Polytechnic University of Bucharest will establish the optimal hydrogen amount regarding the gasoline fuelled engine, which assures the maximum efficiency and the lowest level of its emissions.
