of the group, is strengthening its efforts to
develop a hydrogen engine based on their
existing diesel and gas engines. MHIET has
conducted a combustion test of a hydrogen
engine in a joint research project with Japan’s
National Institute of Advanced Industrial
Science and Technology (AIST). A modified
single cylinder gas engine (bore 170mm x
stroke 220mm) based on MHIET’s 4-stroke
reciprocating gas engine “GSR series” offered
in 6 to 16 cylinders was installed at the AIST
Fukushima Renewable Energy Institute
(Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture). The test
was carried out to identify the conditions to
achieve stable combustion of 100% hydrogen
without emitting CO2.
MHIET and AIST began the joint research
on combustion of hydrogen on an engine
in fiscal 2019. MHIET and MHI Research
and Innovation Center designed and built
the hydrogen engine using the knowledge
of hydrogen combustion technology,
industrial-use diesel engines and natural gas
engines, studied the conditions for optimum
combustion, and analyzed the test data. AIST
constructed and operated the hydrogen supply
equipment and the test bench and acquired
data utilizing its experience in developing
combustion technology for high-power, high
thermal efficiency, and low NOx (nitrogen
oxide) hydrogen engines for large scale power
generation.
