Abstract

Abstract

Experiments were carried out to evaluate the influence of the addition of hydrogen-oxygen mixture (obtained from electrochemically decomposed water) to the inlet air of a single cylinder direct injection diesel engine. Addition of hydrogen to the intake or delivery into the cylinder of diesel engine can improve combustion process due to superior combustion characteristics of hydrogen in comparison to conventional diesel fuels. Presented paper describes the dynamometer test results of a study where a small amount of hydrogen-oxygen mixture, produced by hydrogen-oxygen generator is added to the intake of a diesel engine.
