The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is an effective device for reducing particulate emissions from diesel engines, while its durability and reliability after long-term use are causes for concern. Usually, particulates are considered to be uniformly deposited in DPF channels to form a cake or end plug, however, recent studies have found that a “middle channel deposit” phenomenon of particulates can form a bridge near the middle of the DPF channel. This phenomenon has serious adverse effects on the durability and reliability of the DPF, including abnormally increased pressure drop and frequent regeneration. Since the width of the DPF channel is only about 1-2 millimeters, conventional methods cannot observe the particulate deposition process inside the DPF.

Hydrogen energy is a kind of secondary energy with an abundant source, wide application, green, and is low-carbon, which is important for building a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy system and achieving the goal of carbon peaking and being carbon neutral. In this paper, the effect of nozzle position, hydrogen injection timing, and ignition timing on the in-cylinder combustion characteristics is investigated separately with the 13E hydrogen engine as the simulation object. The test results show that when the nozzle position is set in the middle of the intake and exhaust tracts (L2 and L3), the peak in-cylinder pressure is slightly higher than that of L1, but when the nozzle position is L2, the cylinder pressure curve is the smoothest, the peak exothermic rate is the lowest, and the peak cylinder temperature is the lowest.
