| Abstract: | A prototype truck (17 tons, 6 cylinders, 150 kW(mech), ‘SAURER’) has been constructed to use a hydrogen-burning engine with H2 injection under 10 bar pressure. The efficiency of the engine is ca 32%, the exhaust gas temperature ca 700°C and the power ca 150 kW(mech). The hydrogen (10 bar) is produced continuously by means of catalytic splitting of methylcyclohexane on board the truck.The reaction occurs under the following conditions: 10 bar pressure, 400°C, catalyst 0.25% Pt, 0.25% Re on alumina with an efficiency of ca 0.80 and a lifetime of several hundred hours, without hydrogen recycling. The approximate economics of the system, assuming ca 2 US¢ kWh?1 (electric), results in ca 35 US¢ per litre of gasoline equivalent. |
