Yuchai, a Chinese company has ignited largest hydrogen-fueled engine in Yulin, Guangxi. The YCK16H engine has a displacement of 15.93 liters and a horsepower of 560 hp.
The YCK16H adopts advanced fuel high-pressure common-rail, high-pressure in-cylinder direct injection technology and dual-channel turbocharging technology.
The engine can realize homogeneous combustion or stratified combustion in the cylinder as required, featuring stronger power performance, higher thermal efficiency and better stability.
The platform has high adaptability to fuel purity and can be adapted to fuels prepared by grey hydrogen, green hydrogen, methanol-produced hydrogen, and other means.
The fuel supply can be freely combined according to user needs and the basic conditions of fuel production, storage and transportation, which is a highly adaptable, flexible and controllable zero-carbon/low-carbon power solution.
The engine is developed to solve the problem of the relatively small power per liter of hydrogen-fueled engines.
