The industrial diesel engines are used in many types of applications, and the market has strong needs for low-cost, compact, high-output and high-reliability. In addition, exhaust emissions regulations for industrial diesel engines are being strengthened and all engines must conform to all of them. Therefore, low-emission is an essential condition. This paper describes attempt of optimizing the shapes of an inlet port and a combustion chamber to achieve high power and low emission using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In addition, a new water passage structure was developed against increasing thermal load caused by high outputs and improved reliability and durability. High-stiffness ladder-frame was employed at crankshaft supports to achieve low noise and low vibration, and gear train was placed on the flywheel side to reduce gear noise.

This paper studied suitable methods to use reformed gas (H2 67% and CO 33% mixed), hydrogen as alternative fuels for an internal combustion engine. Both the internal mixture formation and the external mixture formation were studied. PIMGI (Port and Intake Manifold Gas Injection) engine of the external mixture formation was equipped with two electro-magnetic injectors per cylinder. One injector was installed in the intake manifold for the homogeneous mixture and the other was installed near intake port for stratified charge. The fuel pressure for PIMGI was 0.8 MPa. In GDIC (Gas Direct Injection into Cylinder) engine of the internal mixture formation, the gas injector driven by the hydraulic pressure was installed in the cylinder head. The fuel pressure for GDIC was 5.0 MPa. In the GDIC, the fuel was injected early after intake valve was closed because the gas pressure was relatively low for direct injection.
