Abstract

Regulations for the exhaust gas of diesel vehicles are being strengthened every year. Recently, diesel emission regulations for HC, CO, NOx, and particulate matter (PM) have been subject to very strict standards. In the future, the regulation of PM is expected to become stricter. Accordingly, diesel particulate filters (DPFs) have been applied to most diesel vehicles for PM reduction. With increasing engine mileage, ash and soot from the engine exhaust gas accumulate inside the DPF. This accumulation can damage the DPF or degrade engine performance. Therefore, efficient cleaning of the DPF is critical for the maintenance of the engine. If the DPF is well managed through regular cleaning, it can improve the power and fuel economy of the engine and reduce maintenance costs. Therefore, this study was performed to develop a high-efficiency cleaning method for DPFs and an apparatus that can more effectively clean out the accumulated ash and soot.

디젤 자동차의 배기가스 규제는 매년 지속적으로 강화되고 있다. 최근 HC, CO, NOx, PM에 대한 배기 규제는 매우 엄격한 기준을 적용하고 있다. 향후에는, 입자상 물질의 수량규제로 더욱 강화될 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이에 따라, 현재 대부분의 디젤 차량은 PM 저감을 위해 배기후처리징치(DPF)를 적용해 왔다. 엔진의 주행거리가 증가함에 따라, 엔진 배기가스에 포함된 재와 soot이 DPF내부에 축적된다. 축적된 재와 soot은 DPF 손상이나 엔진 성능 악화의 원인이 된다. 그러므로 효율적인 DPF의 클리닝은 엔진관리 측면에서 매우 중요한 부분이다. 만약 엔진이 주기적 클리닝을 통해 관리가 잘 된다면 엔진의 출력과 연비를 개선하고, 유지관리 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 DPF 내부에 누적된 재와 soot을 효과적으로 클리닝 할 수 있는 고효율 DPF 클리닝 방법 및 장치의 개발을 수행하였고, 그 결과를 제시하였다.
