[0062] refer to figure 1 and figure 2 , the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0063] figure 1 A system of a hydrogen-using internal combustion engine 2 (hereinafter simply referred to as "engine") constructed according to the first embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. The engine 2 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of cylinders (in figure 1only one of the cylinders is shown). Each cylinder of the engine 2 has a piston 8 , and a combustion chamber 10 whose volume is repeatedly increased and decreased according to the vertical movement of the piston 8 is formed in each cylinder. An intake passage 4 and an exhaust passage 6 are connected to the engine 2 , air is supplied to the combustion chamber 10 of each cylinder through the intake passage 4 , and combustion gas (or exhaust gas) is discharged from the combustion chamber 10 through the exhaust passage 6 . In the engine 2, an intake valve 1...

Abstract

In an internal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuel and hydrogen gas as fuels and including a fuel injection device that injects liquid fuel, a hydrogen-blended fuel in which hydrogen gas is contained in the form of minute bubbles in a liquid hydrocarbon fuel, that is supplied to the fuel injection device. The hydrogen-blended fuel is stored in a fuel tank. Hydrogen gas that has escaped from the hydrogen-blended fuel in the fuel tank is fed to a minute-bubble producing device, which forms the fuel gas into minute bubbles and mixes the minute bubbles back into the hydrogen-blended fuel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hydrogen-using internal combustion engine capable of using hydrocarbon fuel and hydrogen as fuel. Background technique [0002] Internal combustion engines that use hydrogen as fuel in addition to hydrocarbon-based / hydrocarbon-based fuels such as gasoline (hydrogen-using internal combustion engines) are known. Hydrogen is more flammable than hydrocarbon fuels. Thus, the addition of hydrogen to hydrocarbon fuels allows the engine to operate in an extended lean burn region at low loads, thereby providing significant benefits such as improved fuel economy and reduced NOx emissions. On the other hand, when the engine is running under high load, adding hydrogen to hydrocarbon fuel can suppress knocking and increase engine power output to maintain the acceleration performance of the vehicle. [0003] An example of such an internal combustion engine using hydrogen is described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-293809. ...
