In the recent times, the use of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines has been regarded as a means of enhancing conformance to emission regulations and improving fuel efficiency. GDI engines have been widely adopted in the recent years for their better engine performance and fuel economy compared to those of conventional MPI gasoline engines. However, they present some disadvantages related to the mass and quantity of particulate matter generated during their use. This study investigated the nanoparticle characteristics of the particulate matter exhausted from a GDI engine vehicle installed with different types of gasoline particulate filters, after subjecting it to ultra-lean burn driving conditions. Three metal foam and metal fiber filters were used for each experimental condition. The number concentrations of particles were analyzed for understanding their behavior, and the reduction characteristics were obtained for each type of filter.

디젤 자동차는 가솔린 자동차에 비하여 연료소비효율이 높고, 경제성이 좋으며 고출력을 낼 수 있어 이에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있지만, 디젤엔진에서 배출되는 매연과 가스로 인한 오염도 심각한 수준에 달하였다. 엔진의 전자화, 고압분사기술등 여러 자동차 관련기술의 발달로 배출오염물질의 저감에 큰 발전을 이루어 왔으나, 계속적으로 강화되어지는 배출규제에 맞추기 위해서는 입자상 물질 후처리 장치의 개발이 가장 현실적인 대안으로 제기되고 있다. (중략)

In order to meet the stricter emission regulations, the proportion of after-treatments for vehicles and vessels has been increasing gradually. The objective of this study is to investigate the physicochemical properties according to ash cleaning agents of CDPF for Diesel Engines. Penetrating agents with strong penetration into ash and a surfactant component to mix water and oil were prepared properly. The cleaning characteristics of S1 sample were good. Washcoat loss rate of S1 sample was lower by about 2.2% because of less KOH component and lower Na2SiO3 content. Washcoat loss rate of S4 sample with an added KOH and Na2SiO3 components by penetration agents was increased by about 13%. In terms of less than about 13% of CDPF's washcoat loss rate, it was able to reduce the harmful gas components.

The popularity of the diesel engine revolves around its fuel efficiency, reliability, and durability compared to the gasoline engine. However, the main disadvantage of diesel engine is the emission of particulate matter (PM) which is known as carcinogenic substance. Therefore recent progress in engine management and after-treatment systems has led to great improvement to satisfy strict emission regulations. To comply with powerful environment regulations, this study is focused on the decrease of PM(soot) as to increase significantly exhaust temperature. Therefore, HC injection is used as the method to go to the PM regeneration temperature in front of filters composed of diesel oxidation catalyst(DOC) and diesel particulate filter(DPF). And especially, LPG is used because it has good chemical reactions with exhaust. In this study, we could manufacture the test bench thought LPG injection - with which soot can be decreased-, construct 3 kinds of database(DB) according to quantity of temperature to decide the LPG injection quantity and develop DPF ECU algorithm.
