Summary
Hydrogen Engines are in focus to meet the future legislations concerning our environment. Prof. Eichlseder (Univ. Graz) published new measurements last year (2020) which showed the need for a sequential turbo charging concept to get an optimum out of the used hydrogen engine. The new Pressure Wave Supercharger (PWS) Comprex™ fulfils these needs perfectly due to a sequential charging system by design and even more, like an included engine break and power turbine. Seems like it would have been specially developed for this application. See also [16]. The new concept will be shown in this paper and why it fits perfect to hydrogen Engines. Also, the new possibilities regarding the exhaust gas treatment to reach ultra-low emissions and the response and efficiency of the Comprex™ System will be discussed.
