An engine system includes: an ammonia engine; a reforming device that has a reforming catalyst for cracking ammonia gas into hydrogen and configured to reform ammonia gas to generate reformed gas containing hydrogen; and a control unit. The control unit includes: a purge controller configured to control a reforming injector so as to be closed and control a reforming throttle valve so as to be opened, after an ignition switch gives an instruction of a stop of the ammonia engine; and an engine stop controller configured to control main injectors so as to be closed, after the ignition switch gives the instruction of the stop of the ammonia engine.

A hydrogen internal combustion engine system includes a combustion chamber connected to a hydrogen intake system, an air intake system and a water intake system for controlling hydrogen combustion, characterized in that the water injection system comprises an exhaust gas collector connected to an exhaust water condenser configured to condense at least a part of water contained in the exhaust gases.

A method for controlling hydrogen combustion in a hydrogen internal combustion engine system includes a combustion chamber linked to an intake port via an intake valve, the hydrogen internal combustion engine system comprising a piston slidably moving between a top dead center position and a bottom dead center position, characterized by the steps of: injecting water in liquid phase in the intake port when the piston is between 0 and 40 crank angle degrees before opening of the intake valve, injecting hydrogen after opening of the intake valve and when the piston is between 0 and 60 crank angle degrees after the top dead center position, stopping hydrogen injection when the piston is between 0 and 100 crank angle degrees before the bottom dead center position.

An internal combustion engine and a method of controlling an internal combustion engine are provided, that are more efficient than existing engines. The internal combustion engine includes a combustion chamber, and the engine is configurable to operate in: a compressionless operating mode where the engine is driven by combustion of fuel and oxidant in the combustion chamber without compression of the fuel and oxidant; and a compression generating operating mode where the engine is used to compress fluid in the combustion chamber.

A gas engine is disclosed. The gas engine may include a combustion cylinder. The combustion cylinder may include an intake with an intake valve. The combustion cylinder may include an exhaust with an exhaust valve. The gas engine may include a gas admission valve assembly coupled to the intake. The gas admission assembly may include a trimmable electro-hydraulically actuatable gas admission valve to control a gas flow into the intake.

A two-stroke cycle uniflow-scavenged opposed-piston engine is configured to use hydrogen fuel. The opposed-piston engine has at least one cylinder and a pair of pistons disposed for opposed motion in a bore of the cylinder. Hydrogen fuel is injected into the cylinder early in a compression stroke of the opposed-piston engine, and is ignited in a combustion chamber formed between the pistons late in the compression stroke.

A reignition processing device for a gas engine for executing a reignition process of a cylinder during operation of a gas engine having multiple cylinders is provided with: an execution permission unit configured to, when at least one of the cylinders misfires, perform permission determination whether to execute the reignition process of the misfiring cylinder, on the basis of a damage diagnosis result based on an in-cylinder pressure of the misfiring cylinder, presence or absence of abnormality in a control device which performs combustion control and combustion diagnosis of the gas engine, an operational history related to the misfiring cylinder, and an operational state of the gas engine; and a reignition execution unit configured to execute the reignition process of the misfiring cylinder that is permitted by the permission determination to execute the reignition process.

A method for controlling hydrogen combustion in a hydrogen internal combustion engine system includes a combustion chamber linked to an intake port via an intake valve, the hydrogen internal combustion engine system comprising a piston slidably moving between a top dead center position and a bottom dead center position, characterized by the steps of: injecting water in liquid phase in the intake port when the piston is between 0 and 40 crank angle degrees before opening of the intake valve, injecting hydrogen after opening of the intake valve and when the piston is between 0 and 60 crank angle degrees after the top dead center position, stopping hydrogen injection when the piston is between 0 and 100 crank angle degrees before the bottom dead center position.

A hydrogen discharge control system controls a hydrogen discharge flow rate in a hydrogen engine vehicle that discharges hydrogen from a hydrogen tank in which a resin liner is laminated on an inner wall, to a hydrogen engine, in accordance with an accelerator operation amount. The hydrogen discharge control system comprises a control device. The control device estimates a temperature attained in the hydrogen tank after a predetermined time elapses with the accelerator operation amount at a maximum during an on operation of an accelerator, based on a temporal temperature gradient in the hydrogen tank and a temperature in the hydrogen tank, and when the temperature attained is no higher than a first predetermined temperature, performs discharge limit control for limiting a maximum value of the hydrogen discharge flow rate from the hydrogen tank to a predetermined flow rate.

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.
