FUTURE FUELS & COMBUSTION

Dr. Rogers and his team used a modern single-cylinder spark-ignition engine with variable valve timing, direct fuel injection, and a dedicated port fuel injection for ammonia and hydrogen to conduct their research.

The KiBox2 analysis system from Kistler enables the implementation of cycle-resolved polytropic indices. This makes it easy to implement the ? ndings of the study in combustion pressure analyses of engines running on zero-carbon fuels. can be made earlier in the development cycle. “These combustion metrics are commonly used by our custom- ers in their research and development, so of course we are interested in supporting them as best as we can. Ex- perimental work like this helps us a lot in doing so. We want the users of our technology to be con
