摘要：In the present investigation hydrogen was used in a diesel engine in the dual fuel mode using diesel as an ignition source. In order to have a precise control of hydrogen flow and to avoid the backfire and pre-ignition problems hydrogen was injected into the intake system. Experiments were conducted to determine the optimized injection timing, injection duration and injection quantity of the fuel in manifold and port injected hydrogen-operated engine using diesel as ignition source for hydrogen operation. From the results it was observed that in manifold injection technique the optimized condition was start of injection at gas exchange top dead centre (GTDC) with injection duration of 30o crank angle (CA) with hydrogen flow rate of 7.5 litres/min. In port injection technique, the optimized condition was start of injection at 5o before gas exchange top dead centre (5o BGTDC) with injection duration of 30o CA with hydrogen flow rate of 7.5 litres/min. With the above optimized timings of port and manifold injection it was observed that brake thermal efficiency in port injection increases by 13 % and 16 % in manifold injection at 75 % load. However at full load the brake thermal efficiency decreases by 1 % in port injection and 8 % in manifold injection. A reduction in NOX emission by 4 times is observed in port injection and 7 times in manifold injection at full load. At 75 % load the NOX emission reduces by 3 times in both port injection and manifold injection. Smoke emission increases with increase in EGR percentage. The smoke increases by 36 % at full load in port injection and by 44 % in manifold injection. At 75 % load the smoke emission reduces by 13 % in port injection and 9 % in manifold injection. In both the port injection and manifold injection ignition delay was 12o or 1.33 ms while for diesel it was 11o or 1.22 ms. Port injection system with diesel as ignition source operates smoothly and shows improved performance and emit lesser pollution than diesel.
