项目摘要

The ENTICE project will evaluate the feasibility of novel ammonia cracker technology from AFC Energy PLC to radically improve the combustion and emissions of future ammonia fuelled marine engines. Ammonia is now widely considered to be an excellent sustainable future fuel for marine engines provided its relatively slow combustion can be improved. The cracker is designed to indirectly use waste heat from the engine to split or "crack" some of the stored ammonia fuel into hydrogen gas. Hydrogen has very fast burning combustion characteristics that allow an engine to be operated more efficiently and cleanly. The cracked hydrogen gas will therefore be returned to the ammonia engine's intake system to aid the combustion as a supplementary fuel source. The work will involve precision engine testing in a state-of-the-art UK laboratory to measure the full impact of the cracker on engine combustion, performance, fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. The project work will include formal technical assessments of the practicality of the cracker system across existing and future boats and ships of varying sizes and use and portside operations. The assessments will consider the impact of the system on vessel design, performance, safety and cost. Ultimately, the project will help to rapidly accelerate the technology to market, with the next step involving full scale demonstration on an operating vessel followed by commercialisation at global scale from within the UK. In addition to marine applications, the technology can also be used in other applications such as stationary power generators and large off-road machinery.

ENTICE项目将评估AFC Energy PLC的新型氨裂解器技术的可行性，以从根本上改善未来氨燃料船用发动机的燃烧和排放。氨现在被广泛认为是一种优秀的可持续的未来船用发动机燃料，其相对缓慢的燃烧可以得到改善。这种裂解器的设计目的是间接利用发动机的废热，将一些储存的氨燃料分解或“裂解”成氢气。氢气具有非常快的燃烧特性，这使得发动机能够更有效和清洁地运行。因此，裂解的氢气将返回到氨发动机的进气系统，作为补充燃料源帮助燃烧。这项工作将涉及在英国最先进的实验室进行精确的发动机测试，以测量裂解器对发动机燃烧，性能，燃料消耗和污染物排放的全面影响。该项目工作将包括对裂解器系统在现有和未来不同大小和用途的船只和港口作业中的实用性进行正式的技术评估。评估将考虑该系统对船舶设计、性能、安全和成本的影响。最终，该项目将有助于快速加速该技术的市场化，下一步是在一艘运营船舶上进行全面演示，然后在英国境内进行全球规模的商业化。除了船舶应用外，该技术还可用于其他应用，如固定式发电机和大型越野机械。
