Abstract

The negative effects of hydrocarbon fuels are widely highlighted by increasing global warming and declining quality of human health. Therefore, it is important to reduce the level of emissions from liquid hydrocarbon combustion. Hydrogen addition to the combustion chamber is one of the proven methods to improve emssions level. In this research, an experiment was conducted on diesel fuel spray combustion with hydrogen addition. The effect of additional hydrogen was observed on CO, CO2, NO and THC exhaust gas emissions. A small hydrogen fraction (0~3 vol %) was added to the rich premixed spray combustion. The results show that increasing the hydrogen fraction reduced the emission indexes of CO and THC, and increased the emission index of CO2. Increasing the hydrogen fraction caused an increase in the emission index of NO, but the actual physical amount was insignificant. Increasing the atomizing air flow rate reduced the CO and THC emission indexes, but increased the CO2 and NO emission indexes.
