[0030] In detail, the hydrogen engine air passage liquid injection atomization device comprises a hydrogen engine 1, an air intake passage 3, a liquid nozzle 4, and a hydrogen gas nozzle 5, the air intake passage 3 is in communication with a combustion chamber 101 in the hydrogen engine 1; the liquid nozzle 4 is in communication with an external liquid supply device 8; the hydrogen gas nozzle 5 is in communication with an external hydrogen gas supply device 9; wherein the liquid nozzle 4 and the hydrogen gas nozzle 5 are both arranged in the air intake passage 3.
[0031] As prior art, the hydrogen engine 1 is a kind of power device based on internal combustion engine, using hydrogen gas as fuel, which generates power by burning hydrogen gas and oxygen mixture in air, and the main emission is water vapor, so it is considered as a clean and efficient energy solution. The hydrogen gas supply device 9 is responsible for storing and providing high-purity, stable pressure and flow rate hydrogen gas to the hydrogen engine, in this specific design, the hydrogen gas supply device 9 directly supplies hydrogen gas to the air intake passage 3 through the hydrogen gas nozzle 5, and the air intake passage 3 is in communication with the combustion chamber 101 inside the hydrogen engine 1, in order to ensure the safe transportation and management of hydrogen gas, the hydrogen gas supply device 9 usually includes high-pressure hydrogen storage bottle, pressure reducing valve, filter, circulating pump or ejector, various control valves and safety monitoring equipment such as overpressure and low pressure alarm device. The liquid supply device 8 is designed to assist the combustion process, here it sprays specific liquid to the air intake passage 3 through the liquid nozzle 4, these liquids may be used for cooling, lubrication or as auxiliary fuel to improve combustion efficiency; for example, in some application scenarios, water or other solvents can be used to help regulate the combustion temperature and reduce nitrogen oxide emissions; or use other types of fuel additives to enhance combustion effect; the liquid supply device 8 needs to accurately control the amount and timing of liquid injection, so as to form an ideal combustible mixture with hydrogen gas, thereby optimizing the combustion process; therefore, the liquid supply device 8 not only includes a liquid storage container, but also includes a precision metering pump, pipeline, connector and control unit to ensure that the liquid can be accurately sprayed into the air intake passage 3 as needed.
[0032] It can be understood that the hydrogen engine air passage liquid injection atomization device also comprises an ECU 2, and the hydrogen engine 1, the liquid nozzle 4, and the hydrogen gas nozzle 5 are electrically connected to the ECU 2.
[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, in the hydrogen engine air passage liquid injection atomization device, the electronic control unit ECU 2 is responsible for coordinating and optimizing the operation of the whole device. Specifically, when the hydrogen engine 1, the liquid nozzle 4, and the hydrogen gas nozzle 5 are electrically connected to the ECU 2, it means that the ECU 2 can directly control the working state of these components through electrical signals, ensuring that they operate accurately according to the preset logic and parameters.
[0034] Specifically, the liquid nozzle 4 is in communication with the external liquid supply device 8 through the liquid rail 6, and the hydrogen gas nozzle 5 is in communication with the external hydrogen gas supply device 9 through the hydrogen gas high-pressure rail 7.
[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, the liquid rail 6 and the hydrogen high-pressure rail 7 serve as transmission paths, not only providing a stable medium delivery channel, but also being able to adjust the pressure and flow of the fluid to a certain extent, ensuring that the liquid nozzle 4 and the hydrogen nozzle 5 accurately spray the required amount according to the instructions of the electronic control unit ECU 2. In addition, the design of dedicated rails helps to isolate different types of fluids, avoiding cross-contamination, and can integrate necessary safety measures such as pressure monitoring and emergency shutdown mechanisms to enhance the reliability and safety of the system. In this way, the configuration supports the hydrogen engine 1 to maintain optimal performance under various operating conditions, while promoting cleaner and more efficient energy use.
[0036] Further, the liquid nozzle 4 is obliquely arranged on one side of the hydrogen nozzle 5, and the liquid forms a primary atomization zone 10 after being sprayed through the liquid nozzle 4. The primary atomization zone 10 contacts the high-pressure hydrogen gas sprayed by the hydrogen nozzle 5 to form a secondary mixed atomization zone 11.
[0037] Next, the working principle of the hydrogen engine airway liquid spray atomization device according to the embodiments of the present application will be described.
[0038] The hydrogen gas nozzle is supplied with hydrogen gas by the hydrogen gas supply device, and the liquid nozzle is supplied with liquid by the liquid supply device; in the airway, the liquid droplets that are primary atomized by the liquid nozzle form a primary atomization zone and develop towards the high-pressure hydrogen gas sprayed by the hydrogen nozzle. When the primary atomization zone contacts the high-pressure hydrogen gas sprayed by the hydrogen nozzle, it will be impacted and cause secondary broken atomization, forming a secondary mixed atomization zone. The water droplet diameter is greatly reduced, and the spray pattern will also be reorganized under the impact of the compressed gas, and the atomization effect is well optimized; the hydrogen engine intake will bring the spray in the airway into the combustion chamber, and finally be discharged on the exhaust side.
[0039] In one example, the liquid nozzle is a water nozzle, and the sprayed liquid is water. Specifically, the hydrogen high-pressure rail and the liquid rail supply the hydrogen nozzle and the water nozzle with hydrogen gas and water, respectively. The hydrogen pressure is 6 bar, and the water pressure is 3 bar. The center axes of the hydrogen nozzle and the water nozzle corresponding to the same combustion chamber are arranged in the same plane, with an included angle of 90°. The hydrogen nozzle is directly opposite the direction of the airway, which design can make the water and gas impact the mixed atomization zone after reformation better mixed with the hydrogen engine intake, and develop towards the cylinder (combustion chamber), and finally be discharged on the exhaust side. The injection control and calibration of hydrogen and water are realized by the ECU of the hydrogen engine, and the relative injection time and injection pulse width are as shown in Figure 4 .
[0040] In summary, by setting liquid nozzles and hydrogen nozzles in the air inlet communicating with the combustion chamber in the hydrogen engine, the liquid nozzles communicate with the external liquid supply device, the hydrogen nozzles communicate with the external hydrogen supply device, the liquid is sprayed through the liquid nozzles to form a primary atomization zone, the primary atomization zone contacts the high-pressure hydrogen gas sprayed by the hydrogen nozzles to form a secondary mixed atomization zone, and good atomization effect can be realized by means of gas impacting liquid, replacing the nozzle of air injection or the nozzle with super-high injection pressure and its matching equipment, greatly reducing the requirements of liquid on the nozzle and the injection environment during atomization, and low-temperature and low-pressure injection can be realized.
[0041] In the embodiments disclosed in the present application, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connecting", "fixing" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connecting" can be fixed connection, detachable connection or integral connection; "connecting" can be direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments disclosed in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0042] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
