Hydrogen in diesel engine measurements

Abstract

In 2012, a modern engine test cell was built at the Department of Fluid and Heat Engineering of the University of Miskolc for the load testing of diesel passenger cars and light commercial vehicle engines. The unique laboratory in the Miskolc area is capable of performing standard engine performance tests, as well as special durability tests, cycle tests, dynamic and cold tests, friction tests, and a wide range of environmental measurements and their impact on engine performance. Today, we aim to make the improvements identified by the various development trends. In the present research, we have investigated the possibilities of using hydrogen and diesel together in the engine testing laboratory. The investigations covered the legal issues of hydrogen storage and use in a closed laboratory environment. The results of this research will be used to plan further improvements in the laboratory.
