연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A method is disclosed for making a transition from fueling an engine with hydrogen to another fuel. That other fuel may be gasoline, a gasoline and alcohol mixture, or gaseous fuels, as examples. The other fuel has the capability of providing higher BMEP than the hydrogen because of better air utilization and because the other fuel occupies less volume of the combustion chamber. Because a desirable equivalence ratio to burn hydrogen is at 0.5 or less and a desirable equivalence ratio to burn other fuel is at 1.0, when a demand for BMEP that leads to a transition change from hydrogen fuel to the other fuel, the amount of air supplied to the engine is decreased to provide more torque and vice versa. During a transition in which liquid fuel supply is initiated, it may be desirable to continue to provide some hydrogen, not leaner than 0.1 hydrogen equivalence ratio.

1. A method to control an internal combustion engine, comprising: operating the engine using only hydrogen fuel and increasing hydrogen fuel supplied to the engine to increase engine power when the equivalence ratio is below a first equivalence ratio threshold;decreasing the amount of air supplied to the engine and abruptly decreasing supply of hydrogen fuel to the engine while initiating supply of a liquid fuel to the engine when the equivalence ratio exceeds the first threshold; andreducing hydrogen fuel while increasing the liquid fuel until the engine is operating on substantially only the liquid fuel. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first equivalence ratio threshold is an equivalence ratio above which one of harsh combustion and autoignition of hydrogen fuel occurs. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the first equivalence ratio threshold is about 0.5. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: increasing supply of the liquid fuel abruptly so that equivalence ratio is abruptly increased from a second equivalence ratio threshold to a stoichiometric equivalence ratio to minimize operation within a predetermined range of equivalence ratios. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the second equivalence ratio threshold is a high NOx production equivalence ratio. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein decreasing the amount of air, decreasing abruptly the supply of hydrogen fuel, and initiating supply of a liquid fuel are coordinated to provide a smooth increase in torque. 7. A method to transition from a first operating mode in which only hydrogen fuel is supplied to the engine and a second operating mode in which substantially only a hydrocarbon fuel is supplied to the engine, comprising: conducting the transition when equivalence ratio during the first operating mode leads to autoignition conditions, the transition conducted in a transition initiation phase followed by a transition completion phase;the transition initiation phase comprising:decreasing air supply to the engine;decreasing an amount of hydrogen supplied to the engine; andinitiating supply of the hydrocarbon fuel to the engine; andthe transition completion phase comprising:increasing abruptly delivery of the hydrocarbon fuel to the engine; anddecreasing supply of hydrogen continually through the transition completion phase wherein equivalence ratio during the transition initiation phase is maintained at less than a first threshold equivalence ratio and equivalence ratio during the transition completion phase is maintained at substantially 1.0. 8. A method to transition from a first operating mode in which only hydrogen fuel is supplied to the engine and a second operating mode in which substantially only a hydrocarbon fuel is supplied to the engine, comprising: conducting the transition in a transition initiation phase followed by a transition completion phase;the transition initiation phase comprising:decreasing air supply to the engine;decreasing an amount of hydrogen supplied to the engine; andinitiating supply of the hydrocarbon fuel to the engine; andthe transition completion phase comprising:increasing abruptly delivery of the hydrocarbon fuel to the engine; anddecreasing supply of hydrogen continually through the transition completion phase wherein equivalence ratio during the transition initiation phase is maintained at less than a first threshold equivalence ratio and equivalence ratio during the transition completion phase is maintained at substantially 1.0, wherein the transition is conducted when equivalence ratio during the first operating mode leads to engine harshness. 9. A method to transition from a first operating mode in which substantially only hydrogen fuel is supplied to the engine and a second operating mode in which substantially only a hydrocarbon fuel is supplied to the engine, comprising: conducting the transition in a transition initiation phase followed by a transition completion phase;the transition initiation phase comprising:decreasing air supply to the engine;decreasing an amount of hydrogen supplied to the engine; andinitiating supply of the hydrocarbon fuel to the engine; andthe transition completion phase comprising:increasing abruptly delivery of the hydrocarbon fuel to the engine; anddecreasing supply of hydrogen continually through the transition completion phase wherein equivalence ratio during the transition initiation phase is maintained at less than a first threshold equivalence ratio and equivalence ratio during the transition completion phase is maintained at substantially 1.0, wherein the transition is conducted when equivalence ratio during the first operating mode exceeds about 0.5. 10. The method of claim 7 wherein the first threshold equivalence ratio is about 0.85. 11. The method of claim 7 wherein the transition completion phase is conducted in response to equivalence ratio in the engine exceeding the first threshold equivalence ratio. 12. The method of claim 11 wherein the abrupt increasing of the hydrocarbon fuel is sufficient to cause the equivalence ratio to abruptly increase from the first equivalence ratio to 1.0 thereby avoiding an equivalence ratio range in which high NOx is produced. 13. A method for controlling an internal combustion engine, comprising: supplying only hydrogen fuel to the engine in an amount to avoid a high NOx producing equivalence ratio range within the engine during transitions between the hydrogen fuel and a hydrocarbon fuel. 14. The method of claim 13 wherein the high NOx producing equivalence ratio range is 0.85 to 0.9. 15. The method of claim 13 wherein the high NOx producing equivalence ratio range is avoided by abruptly increasing the amount of hydrocarbon fuel supplied to the engine when the transition is from the hydrogen fuel to hydrocarbon fuel. 16. The method of claim 15 wherein the abrupt increase causes the equivalence ratio to abruptly change from a lower equivalence ratio less than the high NOx producing equivalence ratio range to an upper equivalence ratio greater than the high NOx producing equivalence ratio range. 17. The method of claim 13 wherein the high NOx producing equivalence ratio range is avoided by abruptly decreasing the amount of hydrocarbon fuel supplied to the engine when the transition is from hydrocarbon fuel to hydrogen fuel. 18. The method of claim 17 wherein the abrupt decrease causes the equivalence ratio to abruptly change from an upper equivalence ratio greater than the high NOx producing equivalence ratio range to a lower equivalence ratio less than high NOx producing equivalence ratio range. 19. A method for controlling a bi-fuel engine comprising: operating in a first mode powered by only hydrogen fuel;operating in a second mode powered by substantially only a liquid fuel; andrapidly decreasing the hydrogen fuel and rapidly increasing the liquid fuel to transition between the first and second modes while substantially avoiding operation within a predetermined range of equivalence ratios between a predetermined threshold and unity. 20. The method of claim 19 wherein the predetermined range of equivalence ratios is associated with high NOx generation. 21. The method of claim 19 wherein the predetermined range of equivalence ratios includes equivalence ratios between about 0.85 and about 0.90.
