Inikezelwe kwimveliso yeenjini (ingakumbi i-Diesel) iminyaka emininzi, i-German Deutz AG ngoku ityhila injini yayo yokuqala ye-hydrogen, I-TCG 7.8 H2.
Ngeesilinda ezi-in-line ezintandathu, le isekwe kwi-injini ekhoyo evela kwi-Deutz AG kwaye isebenza njengayo nayiphi na enye injini yokutsha yangaphakathi. Umahluko kukuba oku kutsha kufezekiswa "ngokutshisa" i-hydrogen endaweni yepetroli okanye i-diesel.
Ukuba uyakhumbula, esi ayisosihlandlo sokuqala sichaza nge-injini yokutsha esebenzisa i-hydrogen njengamafutha. Kulo nyaka i-Toyota ifake i-Corolla ene-injini ye-hydrogen kwi-NAPAC Fuji Super TEC 24 Hours - ngempumelelo, ngendlela, xa bekwazi ukugqibezela ugqatso.
NgokukaDeutz AG, le njini inokuba nokusetyenziswa okufanayo nezinye iinjini zophawu, zikwazi ukusetyenziswa kwiitrektara, oomatshini bokwakha, iilori, oololiwe okanye njengejenereyitha. Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokunqongophala kothungelwano lonikezelo lwe-hydrogen, inkampani yaseJamani ekuqaleni ijonge ukusetyenziswa njengejenereyitha okanye koololiwe.
Phantse ukulungele ukuveliswa
Emva kokuchukumiseka kwiimvavanyo "zelebhu", i-TCG 7.8 H2 ilungiselela ukungena kwisigaba esitsha ngo-2022: eso sovavanyo lwehlabathi lokwenene. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, iDeutz AG ibambisene nenkampani yaseJamani eza kuyisebenzisa njengejenereyitha yombane kwizixhobo ezimileyo ukususela ekuqaleni konyaka ozayo.
Injongo yale projekthi yolingo kukubonisa ukusebenza kokusetyenziswa kwemihla ngemihla kwe-injini ehambisa amandla ewonke angama-200 kW (272 hp) kwaye inkampani yaseJamani ijonge ukuyiqalisa kwimarike kwangoko ngo-2024.
Ngokuka-Deutz AG, le njini izalisekisa “zonke iindlela ezichazwe yi-EU yokuhlela injini njengeqanda le-CO2 elikhutshwayo”.
Kusenjalo kwi-TCG 7.8 H2, uMlawuli oyiNtloko we-Deutz AG uFrank Hiller uthe: Senze iinjini "ezicocekileyo" kunye nezisebenza kakuhle kakhulu. Ngoku sithatha inyathelo elilandelayo: injini yethu ye-hydrogen ilungele ukuthengiswa. Oku kubonisa isiganeko esibalulekileyo esiza kunceda ekuphumezeni iinjongo zemozulu yaseParis”.
