HyJet - Hydrogen Jet Ignition for high performance rescue vessels

HyJet的目标或项目是了解在较小(24米以下)船舶上使用的先进发动机中绿色氢气的最佳使用，包括希望改用可持续、环境友好型推进解决方案的RNLI使用的船舶。由于电池充电时间延长对船只救援反应时间的潜在负面影响，这类船只完全电气化是不可行的。这项工作将集中于比较先进内燃机中的绿色燃料，该内燃机配备了特殊的“喷气点火”预燃室燃烧系统，当单独使用或作为混合续航里程扩展解决方案的一部分时，能够以类似柴油的效率运行，污染物为零(或接近于零)。这项工作的重点是用绿色氢气生产的哪种燃料在RNLI和更广泛的24米以下的船舶应用中将是最有效的。被比较的燃料包括绿色氢气、氨和甲醇。

The goal or project HyJet is to understand the optimum use of green hydrogen in advanced engines used in smaller (sub-24m) vessels including those used by the RNLI, who wish to switch to sustainable, environmentally friendly propulsion solutions. Full electrification of such vessels is not viable due to the potential negative impact of prolonged battery recharging times on vessel rescue response times. The work will focus upon a comparison of green fuels in an advanced internal combustion engine fitted with a special "Jet Ignition" pre-chamber combustion system capable of operating with diesel-like efficiency with zero (or near zero) pollutants when used alone or as part of a hybrid range extender solution. The focus of the work is on which form of fuel produced from green hydrogen will be the most effective across the RNLI and wider sub-24m vessel applications. The fuels to be compared include green hydrogen, ammonia and methanol.
