Prospects and Perspective of Hydrogen utilization in Compression Ignition Engines– A Review

P. S. Ranjit, Mukesh Saxena

Abstract :

Depletion of fossil fuels and increase in environmental degradation has accelerated research to use various alternative fuels, including hydrogen. This paper reviews utilization of hydrogen as a sole fuel and investigates into hydrogen supplementation of fossil fuels as well as alternative fuels in Compression Ignition (CI) engines with respect to improvements in performance, reduction in emissions and enhancement of combustion of these engines. It has been observed that most of the work on hydrogen utilization has taken place with respect to performance and emissions point of view and needs to be concentrated in combustion area. Combustion of hydrogen can lead to its utilization as sole fuel in the long term perspective as well as a supplementing fuel to the conventional and alternative fuels in the short term perspective to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions of CI engines.
