METHOD FOR OPERATING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

The present disclosure relates to a method for operating a combustion engine. A main amount of gas fuel is fed via a pre-chamber into a main combustion chamber. An ignition quantity of gas fuel is fed into the pre-chamber before the piston reaches the upper dead center to form an air-gas fuel mixture in the pre-chamber, which is fatter than in the main combustion chamber. The air-gas fuel mixture in the pre-chamber ignites itself. The air-gas fuel mixture in the main combustion chamber ignites through the self-ignited air-gas fuel mixture in the pre-chamber.

INTELLIGENT FUEL STORAGE SYSTEM

An intelligent fuel storage system can consist of a storage pod connected to a storage module with the storage pod having a plurality of separate storage vessels each residing below a ground level. The storage pod may concurrently store a first volume of a first fuel and a second volume of a second fuel prior to altering the first and second volumes in accordance with a performance strategy generated by the storage module to provide a predetermined blend of the first fuel and second fuel with at least a threshold volume and at least a threshold pressure.

Fuel selection method and related system for a mobile asset

Embodiments of methods and systems related to operating a mobile asset are provided. In one example, a method for operating a mobile asset includes supplying an engine with a fuel controller a first amount of a first fuel and a second amount of a second fuel and combusting the first fuel and the second fuel at a fuel combustion ratio in at least one cylinder of the engine, the first amount and the second amount being selected based on route information for a route along which the mobile asset is operable to travel and a projected exhaustion of the first fuel that does not precede a projected exhaustion of the second fuel, wherein the mobile asset is unable to operate with the second fuel alone.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE IN SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION SYSTEMS
20230081177 · 2023-03-16 · ·

An apparatus for use with a combustion apparatus and an associated Selective Catalytic Reduction (‘SCR’) device, comprises a temperature sensing device configured to measure the temperature of an exhaust from the combustion apparatus; and an injection unit configured to inject hydrogen into a feed of oxidizer to the combustion apparatus. An amount of hydrogen is added to an oxidiser feed of the combustion apparatus sufficient to reach a temperature in the exhaust of at least about 270° C.

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

An internal combustion engine having an engine control configured to operate in first and second operating modes. The first operating mode is configured to leave as many ignition devices deactivated per cycle in dependence on the currently present power demand. The second operating mode is configured to reduce a risk of deflagration due to unburned gas-air mixture present in an exhaust stroke. After a first number (N.sub.1) of cycles, for a second number (N.sub.2) of cycles, the second operating mode has more piston-cylinder units produce power per cycle than required for the currently present power demand. After the second number (N.sub.2) of cycles, for a third number (N.sub.3) of cycles, in dependence on a currently present power demand per cycle, the second operating mode has so many piston-cylinder units produce power that this results in a torque of the crankshaft adapted to the currently present power demand.
