Vehicular exhaust emission control and engine efficiency are the most important parameters in current engine design. The Euro V emission norms aredirecting the research towards developing new technologies for combating engine emissions. Natural gas has become a widely used alternative fuel due to its many advantages including its ready availability and its low emission levels. Addition of hydrogen in CNG improves the composition and properties of base fuel CNG. In the present work adiesel engine was converted to operate in dual fuel engine mode in which Hydrogen-compressed natural gas (HCNG) was injected into the intake manifoldusing a specially developed electronic control unit (ECU) while diesel/biodiesel was injected directly inside the combustion chamber during the compression stroke. Experimental investigations were then carried out on a single cylinder four stroke CI engine test rig operatedin dual fuel mode using Diesel, Honge methyl ester (HOME),Jatropha methyl ester (JOME)as injected pilot fuels and HCNG as injectedprimary fuel.ECU was used for varying the injectiontimings and injection durations for HCNG injection while the optimum injection timing for diesel/biodieselwas maintained at 27°bTDC.The pilot fuel injection pressure was maintained at 230 bar. Engine was operated with constantcompression ratio of 17.5 and HCNG flow rate was maintained at 0.5kg/h. The experimental results showedthat an injection timing of 5obTDC and injection duration of 40obTDCfor HCNG injection was found to be optimum based on the improved performance, combustion and emission characteristics. The brake thermal efficiency formanifold injected HCNGdual fuel operation with diesel, HOME and JOME at 80% load was found to be 28.1%, 27.2% and 26.2% respectively. The Smoke emissions, Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were found to be lesser with aninjection timing of 5obTDC and injection duration of 40o bTDCin HCNG injected dual fuel operation.The use of HCNG manifold injection in the dual fuel operatedCI engine improves the performance and reduces the exhaust emissions from the engine except for HC and NOX emissions.
