    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward an engine system and a multi-mode combustion method for an internal combustion engine using hydrogen as a fuel. The engine system comprises a combustion system including a step-lipped piston bowl, a cover opposing the piston bowl, a hydrogen direct injector, and a radially asymmetrical pre-chamber partially opposite the lip of the piston bowl. The multi-mode combustion method includes injecting hydrogen and air a first time into the combustion system through the hydrogen direct injector, and jet igniting the fuel-air mixture in the combustion system. The injecting occurs during an intake stroke at low loads, and during a compression stroke at medium and high loads, Injecting hydrogen and air into the combustion system a second time via the hydrogen direct injector occurs either during or after jet-igniting, the hydrogen and air being at least partially ignited by compression.

    Abstract: A hydrogen-diesel dual-fuel engine that includes an engine block, where the engine block includes a cylinder outfitted with at least two hydrogen fuel injectors and a piston. The engine further includes an air-handling system that includes an intake manifold, an intake pipe, an exhaust pipe, a variable geometry turbocharger, and an exhaust gas recirculation system configured to recirculate exhaust gases from the exhaust pipe to the intake manifold. The engine further includes a two-step camshaft, where the two-step camshaft is configured with the air-handling system for exhaust re-breathing and late intake valve closing, and a port fuel injector system that provides hydrogen gas to the at least two hydrogen fuel injectors. The engine further includes a diesel injector, a common-rail fuel injection system, a plurality of sensors, and a controller configured to receive engine data from the plurality of sensors and to control operation of the hydrogen-diesel dual-fuel engine.

    Abstract: A combustion system includes a cylinder having a main chamber and a fuel injector positioned to inject fuel into the main chamber. A cylinder head is disposed at a top of the cylinder and forms an upper end of the main chamber. A prechamber adapter has a prechamber volume and a nozzle with a plurality of orifices for communication between the prechamber volume and an external environment. The prechamber adapter is threaded into a bore in the cylinder head and positioned to expose the nozzle to the main chamber. A spark plug is positioned within the prechamber adapter with a spark emitting end exposed to the prechamber volume. A piston movably disposed within the cylinder has a piston head forming a lower end of the main chamber. The piston head has a dome shape and a bowl formed in a top center of the dome shape.
