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.
