This study described the effect of the multiple injections and diesel-ethanol on the NVH, combustion and emission characteristics of 4 cylinder common rail diesel engine. In order to investigate the influence of diesel-ethanol blended fuel in a light-duty common rail diesel engine, the injection strategy was varied with pilot injection, double pilot injections, and one main injection at various operating conditions. The results showed that diesel-ethanol blended fuel had longer ignition delay than that of the ultra low diesel fuel(ULSD). Also, in the case of multiple injections, the combustion pressure is increased smoothly near the TDC and the NVH are decreased. In the emission characteristics, diesel-ethanol blended fuel produced lower indicated specific nitrogen oxides(IS-NOX) and indicated specific Soot(IS-soot) emissions, however, indicated specific unburned hydrocarbon(IS-HC) and indicated specific carbon monoxide(IS-CO) emissions are slightly increased.

The aim of this investigation was study on the non-evaporation diesel spray characteristics injected through a common-rail diesel injector under various ambient pressure. The diesel spray was investigated with observation of macroscopic characteristics such as spray tip penetration and spray cone angle by the shadowgraph and the image processing method. The numerical study was conducted using a computational fluid dynamics code, AVL-FIRE. The breakup models used were WAVE model and standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model was applied. The numerical study used input data which spray cone angle and fuel injection rate was achieved by Zeuch's method. Comparison with experimental result such as spray tip penetration was good agreement. Distribution of droplet diameter were conducted on four planes where the axial distances were 5, 15, 39 and 49mm respectively downstream from the orifice exit.

NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) reduction system periodically needs a rich or stoichiometric operating condition to reduce NOx. A new method that optimizes the control of external HC injection into a diesel exhaust pipe for HC-type LNT (Lean NOx Trap) catalyst system has been developed. In this paper, these catalysts are called HC-LNT catalysts. The concentration and amount of HC can be controlled by controlling the external injection. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the spray behavior of hydrocarbons injected into the transparent exhaust pipe and NOx reduction characteristics. From the results of this experiment, we obtained useful information about the optimum injection and position of HC injector to the exhaust pipe. Further, we obtained useful information about the optimal injection condition for an HC-LNT catalyst system with a gasoline PFI (port fuel injection) typeinjector.

In order to improve the emission of diesel engines, natural gas-diesel dual fuel combustion compression ignition engines are in the spotlight. In particular, a reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) combustion strategy is investigated comprehensively due to its possibility to improve both efficiency and emissions. With advanced diesel direct injection timing earlier than TDC, it achieves spontaneous reaction with overall lean mixture from a homogeneous mixture in the entire cylinder area, reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) and improving braking heat efficiency at the same time. However, there is a disadvantage in that the amount of incomplete combustion increases in a low load region with a relatively small amount of fuel-air. To solve this, sensitive control according to the diesel injection timing and fuel ratio is required. In this study, experiments were conducted to improve efficiency and exhaust emissions of the natural gas-diesel dual fuel engine at low load, and evaluate combustion stability according to the diesel injection timing at the operation point for power generation. A 6 L-class commercial diesel engine was used for the experiment which was conducted under a 50% load range (~50 kW) at 1,800 rpm. Two injectors with different spray patterns were applied to the experiment, and the fraction of natural gas and diesel injection timing were selected as main parameters. Based on the experimental results, it was confirmed that the brake thermal efficiency increased by up to 1.3%p in the modified injector with the narrow-angle injection added. In addition, the spray pattern of the modified injector was suitable for premixed combustion, increasing operable range in consideration of combustion instability, torque reduction, and emissions level under Tier-V level (0.4 g/kWh for NOx).

DME(Dimethyl ether) is an oxygenated fuel with a octane number higher than that of diesel oil. It meets the ULEV emission regulation and reduces the smoke to almost zero when used in a diesel engine. In the present study, engine performance and exhaust emissions were investigated with a conventional DI diesel engine which has a jerk type injection pump. Test results showed that the power with DME were almost same as that of pure diesel oil, and the brake thermal efficiency increased a little. Also, smoke index from DME engine showed nearly zero level, but NO$_{x}$ was increased compare to diesel oil.

분사연료의 혼합기형성과정 최적화를 통한 연소제어 기술은 디젤기관의 기관운전 및 배기특성을 향상시키기 위하여 매우 중요하다. 또한 분무의 혼합기형성 최적화를 위해서는 분사된 연료와 주위기체와의 혼합과정에 영향을 미치는 분무내부의 유동특성에 대한 연구는 필수 불가결하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고온 고압의 증발장에서 분무의 액상 거동에 주목하고, 그 거동특성을 통하여 증발디젤분무의 혼합기형성을 해석한다. 비정상 증발분무의 중심축에 레이저 시트광을 입사한 후, 액상분무 액적의 Mie 산란광에 의한 2차원 화상을 획득하여 증발분무 액상의 속도분포 및 와도(vorticity) 등을 구하였다. 분무의 속도분포 및 와도는 2차원 화상에 PIV법을 적용하여 계산하였다. 그림 1에 본 연구에서 구한 속도분포의 일례를 보인다. 본 연구의 결과로 상변화를 동반하는 비정상 증발장에서 구한 분무액상의 거동 특성은 상변화가 일어나지 않는 비증발장에 있어서의 분무거동특성과 유사함을 확인하였다.

실제 디젤 자동차를 운행할 때 헌팅이나 서지현상이 발생하여 운전상 좋지 못한 현상이 발생한다. 자동차의 디젤기관은 회전수의 안정화를 도모하기 위해서 연료 분사펌퍼의 분사량 조정봉(Rack)을 가바나의 조속기에 의해 위치 제어할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 헌팅을 억제할 목적으로 종래에 사용한 기계식 가바나 대신에 최근에 등장하고 비교적 자유로운 제어규칙을 갖도록 할 수 있는 전자식 가바나를 사용할 때 헌칭이 발생하는 조건이 시뮬레이션을 통하여 조사검토 할 수 있음을 나타내었다. 이 결과에 기초하여 헌칭의 억제는 운전상태에 따라 행할 수 있는 헌팅 억제 규칙을 얻었다.

대형디젤엔진의 대체용으로 LPG 엔진을 개발함에 있어서 차세대 연료공급방식인 LPG 연료의 액상분사방식을 채택하여 기존의 믹서방식의 연료공급시스템을 가진 LPG 엔진보다 고출력, 고효율, 저공해성을 추구하고자 하였다. 이를 위한 기초연구로서 먼저 단기통 연소엔진을 이용하여 대형엔진에 LPG 연료 적용 가능성, 액상분사 시스템을 포함한 여러 가지 연료공급방식에 따른 엔진의 성능파악, 대형엔진에 적합한 최적 선회비의 결정, 연료조성에 따른 엔진성능의 변화 등을 알아보았다. 실험결과, 대형엔진에 LPG 연료의 적용은 아무런 문제점이 없었으며 LPi 연료공급방식은 다른 방식에 비해서 10%정도의 체적효율 및 출력의 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 최적의 선회비는 2.0 부근에서 형성되었고, 연료 조성은 프로판 대 부탄의 비율이 60 : 40에서도 정상적으로 운전됨을 확인하였다. 시제품 엔진의 경우, 과급방식의 KL6i 엔진을 개발하기 앞서 좀더 기술적 접근이 용이한 자연흡입방식의 K-1엔진의 개발이 선행되었으며 현재 개발 진행중인 K-1엔진의 성능평가 결과, 기존의 디젤엔진에 비해 출력성능이 20% 정도 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 대형차량에서 중요시 생각되는 저속토크 성능이 매우 우수한 것으로 파악되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 단기통 연소엔진에서 확인된 최적화된 연료조성과 선회비를 향후 K-1엔진에 적용할 예정이다. 최근 열린 가스학회 추계발표회와 LPG자동차세미나의 주요내용을 게재한다.
