The present study experimentally investigated combustion characteristics of a diesel engine with hydrogen and blowby components added to the intake air. In our previous studies, the ignition delay decreased with the increase in hydrogen fraction at late diesel-fuel injection timings. However, it is difficult to auto-ignite hydrogen earlier than diesel fuel, because the auto-ignition temperature of hydrogen is higher than that of diesel fuel. There must be some factors to ignite hydrogen. We focus on reaction of blowby components as a cause of hydrogen ignition earlier than diesel-fuel ignition.
