Abstract

$N_2O$(Nitrous Oxide) is known as the third major GHG(Green House Gas) following $CO_2$(Carbon Oxide) and $CH_4$(Methane). The GWP(Global Warming Potential) factor of $N_2O$ is 310 times as large as that of $CO_2$ because $N_2O$ in the atmosphere is very stable, and it becomes a source of secondary contamination after photo-degradation in the stratosphere. Investigation on the cause of the $N_2O$ formation have been continuously reported by several researchers on power sources with continuous combustion form, such as a boiler. However, in the diesel engine, research on $N_2O$ generation which has effected from fuel components has not been conducted. Therefore, in this research, author has investigated about $N_2O$ emission rates which was changed by nitrogen and sulfur concentration in fuel on the diesel engine. The test engine was a 4-stroke direct injection diesel engine with maximum output of 12 kW at 2600rpm, and operating condition of that was set up at a 75% load. Nitrogen and sulfur concentrations in fuel were raised by using six additives : nitrogen additives were Pyridine, Indole, Quinoline, Pyrrol and Propionitrile and sulfur additive was Di-tert-butyl-disulfide. In conclusion, diesel fuels containing nitrogen elements less than 0.5% did not affect $N_2O$ emissions in the all concentrations and kinds of the additive agent in the fuel. However, increasing of the sulfur additive in fuel increased $N_2O$ emission in exhaust gas.

아산화질소($N_2O$, Nitrous Oxide)는 이산화탄소($CO_2$, Carbon Oxide), 메탄($CH_4$, Metane)이어 세 번째로 지구온난화에 기여하는 물질로 알려져 있다. $N_2O$의 지구온난화 계수는 대기 중에서 안정하고, 성층권에서 광분해 된 후 이차적인 오염의 원인이 되기 때문에 $CO_2$의 310배에 이른다. $N_2O$의 생성에 대한 조사는 보일러와 같은 연속적인 연소를 갖는 동력원에 대하여 몇몇의 연구자들에 의한 보고가 있었다. 하지만, 디젤엔진에 있어서 연료의 성분이 $N_2O$ 배출에 미치는 영향에 대한 조사는 실시되어지지 않은 상태이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 디젤엔진에서 연료 중에 질소와 황 농도에 의해 변화되는 $N_2O$ 배출율에 대하여 조사하였다. 실험에 사용한 엔진은 12kW/2400rpm의 4행정 직접분사식 디젤엔진이고, 실험엔진의 운전조건은 75% 부하에서 이루어졌다. 연료 중의 질소와 황 농도는 Pyridine, Indole, Quinoline, Pyrrol, Propionitrile, Di-tert-butyl-disulfide의 6 종류 첨가제를 사용하여 증가시켰다. 결과에 의하면, 질소성분 0.3% 이하를 갖는 디젤연료는 첨가제의 종류와 농도와 관계없이 $N_2O$ 배출률에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 하지만, 연료 중 황 첨가제의 증가는 배기가스 중의 $N_2O$ 농도를 증가시켰다.
