“…Because of the high flame speeds of hydrogen, low turbulence combustion chambers (pancake or disk chamber and axially aligned symmetric intake port) can be used, which can be beneficial for the engine efficiency [130,179,180] (increasing the volumetric efficiency and decreasing heat losses). They might even be necessary to avoid excessive rates of pressure rise (possibly even leading to knocking combustion) at stoichiometric operation [180] (where high in-cylinder turbulence could cause very fast flame speeds).…”

“…Measures include the use of cooled exhaust valves; multi-valve engine heads to further lower the exhaust valve temperature [171,173,179]; a proper oil control [147]; additional engine coolant passages around valves and other areas with high thermal loads [180] (if possible); the delay of fuel introduction to create a period of air cooling (using timed manifold or DI); and adequate scavenging (e.g., using variable valve timing [163,181]) to decrease residual gas temperatures. …”

a b s t r a c tThe threat posed by climate change and the striving for security of energy supply are issues high on the political agenda these days. Governments are putting strategic plans in motion to decrease primary energy use, take carbon out of fuels and facilitate modal shifts.Taking a prominent place in these strategic plans is hydrogen as a future energy carrier. A number of manufacturers are now leasing demonstration vehicles to consumers using hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines (H 2 ICEs) as well as fuel cell vehicles. Developing countries in particular are pushing for H 2 ICEs (powering two-and three-wheelers as well as passenger cars and buses) to decrease local pollution at an affordable cost.This article offers a comprehensive overview of H 2 ICEs. Topics that are discussed include fundamentals of the combustion of hydrogen, details on the different mixture formation strategies and their emissions characteristics, measures to convert existing vehicles, dedicated hydrogen engine features, a state of the art on increasing power output and efficiency while controlling emissions and modeling.

“…Clearly, hot spots in the combustion chamber that could initiate surface ignition or backfire are to be avoided or minimized. Measures include the use of cooled exhaust valves; multi-valve engine heads to further lower the exhaust valve temperature [171,173,179]; a proper oil control [147]; additional engine coolant passages around valves and other areas with high thermal loads [180] (if possible); the delay of fuel introduction to create a period of air cooling (using timed manifold or DI); and adequate scavenging (e.g., using variable valve timing [163,181]) to decrease residual gas temperatures.…”
