Abstract: Improving the brake thermal efficiency (BTE) and reducing NOx emissions are two main goals for hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines to achieve efficient and clean performance. This paper focuses on the multiple parameters optimization of injection and ignition both experimentally and numerically based on a 2.0L turbocharged direct injection hydrogen engine. Firstly, the effects of single and split injection on engine performance, in-cylinder mixing and combustion characteristics are investigated. Secondly, the single-factor effect of split injection parameters and spark timing on engine performance are obtained with different engine speeds. Significant interaction effects are detected between these factors. Thus, a multi-parameter optimization is conducted based on the response surface methodology method to analyze the co-relationship of factors (split injection control parameters and ignition) on responses (BTE, NOx emissions, and knock intensity) at high-load. Finally, a maximum BTE of 43.03 % and a reduction in NOx emissions by 71.19 % are achieved with the help of model prediction at 2500 rpm and a load of 1.40 MPa. Further optimization of other engine speeds is conducted, and the boundary of high-efficiency region (BTE>40 %) covers over 50 % of the load map after optimization. These results can provide valuable support for the performance improvement of efficiency and clean hydrogen engines.
