Research Experience
Research Project executed : Performance Enhancement, Evaluation and
Analysis of an IDI Diesel Engine using SVO with
Hydrogen supplementation
Financial Sponsored by : Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE),
New Delhi
Cost of the Project : 8.1 Million Indian Rupees
Sanction letter : MNRE. No. 103/143/2008-NT; Dt: 12.01.2011
B) Research Lab established : Engine Research Laboratory as per NFPA Class I
Division 2 Group B standards in order to storage
and handling the High Pressure Ultra High Purity
Gaseous Hydrogen (UPGH)
C) Instrumentation developed : Advanced Combustion Analyzer along with its
Transducers to diagnose online Combustion
Characteristics of the selected engine
Metering the gaseous hydrogen at given crank angle and given quantity
D) Engine test bench developed : Capable enough to test all liquidous and gaseous
fuels including hydrogen
Developed the durability test benches as per IS standards 10000
E) Documents/Standards developed : Safety standards for storage and handling of
ultra- high purity Gaseous Hydrogen utilization
in the Educational and Research Institutes
F) Foreign students mentored : Mr. Charly Gauthier, student of University
of Orleans, France completed his major project on
Bio-fuels with Hydrogen supplementation.
