See full text

A method for operating an engine is disclosed. The method may include supplying the engine with gas. The method may also include supplying the engine with hydrogen from a hydrogen source. Further the method may include charging a combustion chamber of the engine with a first amount of loaded gas, which may include a gas air mixture. The method may also include delivering, to the combustion chamber, a second amount of hydrogen. The second amount may be a predetermined fraction X of the first amount. The predetermined fraction may be selected to achieve a predetermined ratio λ of an actual amount of the air in the combustion chamber and a stoichiometric amount of the air in the combustion chamber. The hydrogen and the loaded gas may form a loaded gas mixture in the combustion chamber. The method may also include igniting the loaded gas mixture in the combustion chamber.
