Eberspaecher plans to introduce its new exhaust system for hydrogen internal combustion engines at the Hannover Messe trade show from May 30 to June 2.
A press release from Purem by Eberspaecher, the group's specialist for exhaust technology, said the company is applying its decades of experience with conventional internal combustion engines to hydrogen engines.
“With the H2-ICE exhaust system, the exhaust gas specialists from the Eberspaecher Group are presenting the system specially designed for exhaust-gas aftertreatment in hydrogen engines,” according to the release.

Eberspaecher maintains that exhaust systems are as critical in hydrogen engines as they are in traditional internal combustion engines because exhaust gases such as nitrogen oxide, small amounts of particles, and unburned hydrocarbons are produced from the engine oil pathway.
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technologies with urea-water solution are used as reducing agents for NOx conversion. The addition of the urea-water solution can also cause particles to form.
The new system is modular and can therefore be specifically adapted to the needs of individual customers and applications, the company added.

At its trade show booth, Eberspaecher also will present new components for use in stationary or industrial applications. These include air compressors from Eberspaecher Vairex as well as exhaust technology systems in fuel-cell applications.
