“…Therefore, the LCV producer gas does not require as much dilution as it was previously demonstrated in Ref. [5]. The critical issue in all combustion applications of the producer gas is removal of undesirable solid particles, tars, alkali compounds, and nitrogen containing compounds.…”

“…Haggith et al [35] developed a model for analyzing the energy potential of different fuels used in ICEs, with energy density representing the amount of energy admitted to the combustion chamber during each engine cycle; it depends on the intake pressure ( p int ), the intake temperature ( T int ), the low heating value of the fuel ( LHV), the equivalence ratio (∅), and the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio ( AFR s ); see Equation ( 14). The ED is expressed in pressure units to be compared with the indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP).…”

One of the key factors of the current energy transition is the use of hydrogen (H2) as fuel in energy transformation technologies. This fuel has the advantage of being produced from the most primary forms of energy and has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In recent years, hydrogen or hydrogen-rich mixtures in internal combustion engines (ICEs) have gained popularity, with numerous reports documenting their use in spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition (CI) engines. Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines have the potential for substantial reductions in nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions, and the use of hydrogen along with this kind of combustion could substantially reduce CO2 emissions. However, there have been few reports using hydrogen in HCCI engines, with most studies limited to evaluating technical feasibility, combustion characteristics, engine performance, and emissions in laboratory settings at sea level. This paper presents a study of HCCI combustion using hydrogen in a stationary air-cooled Lombardini 25 LD 425-2 modified diesel engine located at 1495 m above sea level. An experimental phase was conducted to determine the intake temperature requirements and equivalence ratios for stable HCCI combustion. These results were compared with previous research carried out at sea level. To the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first report on the combustion and operational limits for an HCCI engine fueled with hydrogen under the mentioned specific conditions. Equivalence ratios between 0.21 and 0.28 and intake temperatures between 188 °C and 235 °C effectively achieved the HCCI combustion. These temperature values were, on average, 100 °C higher than those reported in previous studies. The maximum value for the indicated mean effective pressure (IMEPn) was 1.75 bar, and the maximum thermal efficiency (ITEn) was 34.5%. The achieved results are important for the design and implementation of HCCI engines running solely on hydrogen in developing countries located at high altitudes above sea level.

“…Another benefit of the HCCI engine is its ability to burn a large quantity of low calorific value fuels [89]. According to Haggith et al [90], applying producer gas (wood gas) in an HCCI engine results in stable combustion, achieving a wide range of loads. They concluded that with this fuel and engine combination, it could be an acceptable alternative.…”

Current engines are not designed to use syngas as fuel, which presents challenges such as differences in air-to-fuel ratio and fuel properties compared to traditional fuels like gasoline and diesel. This research recommends applying dual combustion, regulating pressure rate, using catalysts and employing EGR (exhaust gas recirculation), in order to improve engine efficiencies while reducing emissions. This study concludes that syngas is more effectively utilized in diesel and HCCI engines (homogeneous charge compression ignition) than in gasoline engines due to the cycle variations impacting efficiency. With technological advancements, syngas and other alternative fuels can be developed to reduce emissions and production cost, justifying their implementation.
