Abstract
A hydrogen-diesel dual-fuel engine that includes an engine block, where the engine block includes a cylinder outfitted with at least two hydrogen fuel injectors and a piston. The engine further includes an air-handling system that includes an intake manifold, an intake pipe, an exhaust pipe, a variable geometry turbocharger, and an exhaust gas recirculation system configured to recirculate exhaust gases from the exhaust pipe to the intake manifold. The engine further includes a two-step camshaft, where the two-step camshaft is configured with the air-handling system for exhaust re-breathing and late intake valve closing, and a port fuel injector system that provides hydrogen gas to the at least two hydrogen fuel injectors. The engine further includes a diesel injector, a common-rail fuel injection system, a plurality of sensors, and a controller configured to receive engine data from the plurality of sensors and to control operation of the hydrogen-diesel dual-fuel engine.
