- The present study experimentally investigated the performance and emission characteristics of the diesel engine with hydrogen added to the intake air at late diesel-fuel injection timings. The diesel-fuel injection timing and the hydrogen fraction in the intake mixture were varied while the gross heating value per second of diesel fuel and hydrogen was kept constant at a certain value. NO showed minimum at specific hydrogen fraction. The maximum rate of incylinder pressure rise also showed minimum at 10 vol% hydrogen fraction. The indicated thermal efficiency was almost constant or slightly increased with small amount of hydrogen. A combination of hydrogen addition and late diesel-fuel injection timing contributed to low temperature combustion, in which NO decreased without the increase in unburned fuel.
