Breakthrough in the field of diesel engines which, thanks to an innovation, will exploit hydrogen: here’s all about the discovery that could revolutionize the car market and beyond in the coming years in the name of a green transition.
The innovations they run fast and the results are amazing, capable of creating two incredible excellences: a retrofit system and prototype. L’Australian University of Sydney and its researchers have given life to these two hi-tech excellences.
They are capable of convert diesel engines to run on 90% hydrogen: an epochal turning point in the light of an inevitable and extremely desirable green transition. Let’s see together how the mechanism works and if it will have immediate repercussions on the world of gods engines.
The first piece of news we have to give, however, is that not all engines can be converted back hydrogen: for those where it is possible, the retrofit system maintains the diesel injection to which hydrogen injection is added via the cylinder. This allows for completely independent control between the two timings fed by the two different fuels.
The technicians have carried out being test several tests and the results were auspicious in view of a fundamental change in the world of injection and motoring. A perfect system that needs hydrogen as pure as possible: let’s see how it works.
Diesel engines of the future: the breakthrough is hydrogen
So as mentioned above, the hydrogen it must be most pureclose to 100%: thus the gas in question is capable of create and give life to real pockets in which it is concentrated inside the cylinder. Such tanks of hydrogen allow a lower nitrous oxide emissions typically produced by a diesel engine mounted on a straight line.
CO2 emissions are lowered, according to test results, by as much as 85%, at about 90 g/kwh of energy: surprising data on which the technicians are constantly working to improve the system. This discovery, without too many words, could really lead to total elimination of fossil carbonthe so-called decarbonization much invoked by many.
Obviously applicable to car manufacturers that make diesel cars their main productions, but also for other situations. At the moment researchers from the Australian University of Sydney are engaged in hard and very long research tests to understand as soon as possible if it will be soon possible bring diesel cars with a hydrogen retrofit system to the market.
