NH3 - Stat
Sub-project: Development of combustion processes, exhaust gas aftertreatment and analysis methods in NH3-fuelled engines
Project objectives:
- Evaluation of ammonia as a novel fuel for stationary thermal power plants with the potential to reduce CO2 emissions to 0%
- Development of an ammonia-diesel dual-fuel combustion process and an ammonia-hydrogen combustion process for combustion engines in stationary applications with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions
- Mapping of internal engine processes using 3D CFD simulations
- Development and ionisation schemes for photoionisation mass spectrometry (PIMS) for the detection of nitrogen-containing compounds from ammonia combustion and analysis of these compounds
- Design and investigation of novel exhaust gas aftertreatment systems for the ammonia-diesel and ammonia-hydrogen combustion process
- Development of a simulation tool for engine-catalyst co-optimisation for the combustion of ammonia
LKV's contribution:
- Experimental investigations into the influence of various engine parameters on the combustion process using a 1-cylinder research engine
- Analysis and reduction of pollutant emissions by adjusting various engine parameters
- Investigation of various catalytic converter technologies to reduce residual pollutant emissions in the raw exhaust gas
- Control of the ratio of different pollutant concentrations in the engine's raw exhaust gas to optimise the exhaust gas aftertreatment process
- Investigating the quality of the engine lubricating oil in ammonia operation
