Combustion stability for early and late direct hydrogen injection in a dual fuel diesel engine

The paper presents an analysis of the experimental results of direct hydrogen injection in a dual-fuel diesel engine. The test object is a four-cylinder, four-stroke ADCR engine. An analysis of the following parameters was carried out: indicated mean effective pressure, peak pressure, angle of maximum pressure and released heat. Statistical analysis of the obtained results was carried out for each cylinder separately for four different hydrogen doses. Both early and late direct hydrogen injection were analyzed. The significance of the differences for each of the analyzed parameters and type of injection was determined. The stability of the combustion process was evaluated using the coefficient of variation CoV(IMEP).
