This invention belongs to the field of
automotive manufacturing technology and discloses a
hydrogen engine and its control method, as well as a vehicle. The engine includes a
crankcase ventilation
system, a
hydrogen scavenging system, and an ECU. An
air filter is installed in the engine intake
pipe. The
crankcase injection
pipe is connected to the engine intake
pipe and the
crankcase. Both a low-load outlet
branch and a high-load outlet
branch are connected in parallel to the crankcase outlet pipe and the engine intake pipe. A
vacuum pump is installed on the high-load outlet
branch.
Hydrogen concentration sensors are respectively installed in the crankcase, on the crankcase outlet pipe, and on the intake manifold. A
scavenging pipe is equipped with a
scavenging pump and is connected to the
hydrogen rail and the intake manifold. The low-load outlet branch is connected to the scavenging pipe. The
crankcase ventilation system and the hydrogen scavenging
system are electrically connected to the ECU. This invention monitors the engine
hydrogen concentration. The
vacuum pump delivers hydrogen from the crankcase and pipes into the cylinders for
combustion. When the engine is stopped, it effectively scavenges and burns the hydrogen in the hydrogen rail, improving engine safety.
