Abstract: In order to reduce the emissions of diesel engine, the investigation into the effect of H2 addition on the emissions of heavy-duty diesel engines is attracting attention from researchers in recent years. The effects of H2 addition at different proportions (the highest volume proportion of hydrogen is 7% of hydrogen air mixture in inlet pipe) on the emissions of CO, CO2 and HC in Cummins ISM370 diesel engine are researched. Research shows that the addition of hydrogen can benefit the reduction in the emissions of CO, CO2 and THC in various loads, and has little effect on the emissions of THC. Moreover, with the increase in amount of hydrogen, the emission characteristics of CO, CO2 and THC varies with the change of load. The amount of hydrogen added should be appropriate to load operation to reduce the emission in maximum extent.

Key words: power machinery engineering, hydrogenation, Cummins ISM370 diesel engine, CO, CO2 and THC, emission characteristics
