ABSTRACT
The article contains practical knowledge on the process of converting a compression-ignition combustion engine to various types of gaseous fuels, including hydrogen. The content of the article is related to the completed project of this type of adaptation of an industrial engine. The process of preparing a gaseous fuel combustion system, the design of the ignition, power supply, safety and power regulation systems are described. The basic functions of the adaptive engine control system are presented, which allow for the adjustment of its control parameters to the physicochemical properties of the gaseous fuel used. The preliminary results of tests of the engine powered by hydrogen or natural gas are also presented.
