HydroMAR-E - Hydrogen Monofuel Advanced Recuperated Engine

HydroMAR-E将开发一种单燃料氢版本的再生分置循环发动机。这种高度创新的热力发动机可用于陆地和海洋的一系列重型应用。它提供非常高的效率（与PEM燃料电池竞争），非常低的排放（带后处理的SULEV）和易于过渡（现有的ICE制造和安装要求;适度的资本成本增加）。独特的是，与标准的ICE不同，RSCE已经证明了在同一个核心发动机中使用柴油，甲烷和氢气的能力（与氨或甲醇具有相同的潜力）具有相同的高效率和低排放，随着未来燃料的广泛使用，能够快速过渡。HydroMAR-E将使用实验室单缸发动机，该发动机已经演示了启动和运行，把这个火花制导系统发展到TRL 4将设计和建造一个多缸原型，为未来在海洋（和其他）环境中的开发和应用示范做好准备。支持工作将开发一个改进的回热器系统，并审查marinization，安装，船舶系统和监管方面。该项目汇集了技术开发商海豚N2（依维柯集团的一部分，100- 600千瓦范围的船用发动机全球供应商），布莱顿大学（英国APC的热推进效率发言），领先的船舶建筑师BMT和回热器技术开发商Hiflux。

HydroMAR-E will develop a mono-fuel Hydrogen version of the Recuperated Split Cycle Engine. This highly innovative thermal engine can be used in a range of heavy duty applications for land and sea. It offers very high efficiency (competitive with a PEM fuel cell), very low emissions (SULEV with aftertreatment), and ease of transition (existing ICE manufacture and installation requirements; moderate capital cost increase). Uniquely, and unlike a standard ICE, the RSCE has demonstrated ability to use Diesel, Methane and Hydrogen in the same core engine (and has potential for the same with Ammonia or Methanol) with the same high efficiency and low emissions, enabling a rapid transition as future fuels become more widely available.HydroMAR-E will use a laboratory single cylinder engine, which has already demonstrated starting and running, to develop this spark-guided system to TRL4. A multi-cylinder prototype will be designed and built in readiness for future development and application demonstration in marine (and other) environments. Supporting work will develop an improved recuperator system, and review marinization, installation, vessel systems and regulatory aspects.The project brings together the technology developer Dolphin N2 (Part of the Iveco Group, a global supplier of marine engines in the 100-600kW range), Brighton University (the UK APC's Thermal Propulsion Efficiency spoke), leading marine architects BMT, and recuperator technology developer Hiflux.
