The increasing use of vehicles is causing air-pollution problems. Diesel vehicles are preferred to gasoline vehicles, because the diesel vehicles are superior to gasoline vehicles in terms of fuel consumption, durability, power and efficiency. But the emission reduction technologies for diesel vehicle are not developed well like those for gasoline vehicles. Moreover, the NOx and smoke emitted from diesel vehicle are recognized as a main source of the air-pollution in the urban areas. The emission reduction devices have been installed for each of the emission gas components. Using plasma(i.e. electrical energy)only, the emission gas was found to be reduced. The present paper investigate the effects of a low temperature plasma device in engine performance as well as in emission reduction with the change of the applied voltage and the loading rate of the engine.

화석연료의 연소에 의해 발생되는 질소산화물(NOx)은 가스상의 대기오염물질로서 인류의 생활환경에 유해함은 물론 식물의 생장속도에도 막대한 영향을 미치고 있으며, 질소산화물은 햇빛의 존재 하에서 탄화수소와 광화학 반응을 하여 광화학적 산화물과 오존 등을 생성하는 광화학적 스모그 생성에 관여하고, 이러한 광화학 스모그는 사람에게 만성의 호흡기 질환을 유발하거나 시정거리의 감소를 가져온다. (중략)

NOx, Soot and other exhausted components already became a dangerous state as principal materials of the air pollution. Therefore, the exhausted regulations are getting strict in the many countries. In this paper, reduction characteristic of NOx Soot and CO from diesel engine are investigated when MF plasma system is put to the diesel engine. NOx is decreased in all measured load and applied voltage to plasma reactor.

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.
