This paper deal with vehicle fire caused by damage of diesel particulate filter (DPF) on diesel passenger vehicles. In order to reduce particulate matters included exhaust gases, a DPF in the exhaust system were installed diesel vehicles. A DPF was broken by excessively trapped particulate matters, regeneration error with a malfunction of ECU and defect of suction system such as swirl valve. If the DPF was broken, hot exhaust gases was released to the bottom of vehicle and released hot exhaust gases lead to occur the fire through combustible materials around the exhaust system. When a fire happened in the diesel vehicle caused by damage of DPF, silicate inorganic compounds were attached to the exhaust ventilation pipe and muffler. The silicate inorganic compounds were created by DPF combustion consisting of raw material ceramics. If the silicate inorganic compounds attached to the tail pipe in the diesel passenger vehicles, its fire cause will be assumed damage of DPF.

Over the past years, many research works have been carried out to investigate the factors which govern the performance of diesel engine. The air pollutant emission from the diesel engine is still a significant environmental concern in many countries. In the present study, new system of smoke reduction of diesel engine is proposed. This new system is using vacuum equipment for capture smoke. To confirm new system experiments were performed at engine dynamometer. As a result of this experiment, the smoke reduction of this system was identified.

경유자동차는 연료 특성상 매연을 포함한 입자상물질을 다량 배출하고 있으며, 이러한 디젤입자상물질은 인체에 유해한 발암성 및 돌연변이원성 물질들을 함유하고 있기 때문에 호흡 등을 통한 인체 유입시 건강에 매우 유해하다. 그러므로 디젤입자상물질을 저감시키기 위한 여러 가지 기술들 중 발생된 배출가스가 배기관을 통해 대기중으로 배출되기 전에 엔진 연소실과 배기관 사이에 후처리장치와 같은 기술들을 이용하여 이를 저감시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 후처리장치들 중 세라믹필터에 백금과 같은 산화성이 우수한 촉매를 코팅하여 만든 촉매식 매연여과장치(DPF ; diesel particulate filter, SK제공)를 사용하였을 때 입자저감성능 및 입자크기별 분포특성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 통해 도시대기오염 저감대책을 기초자료 및 환경학적, 보건학적 연구에 적극 활용하고자 한다.

최근 개발된 니켈 초합금 금속폼은 기존의 매연저감장치 신소재로 여겨지고 있다. 금속폼은 세가지 두드러진 특징을 갖고 있다. 첫째, 금속폼은 큰 기공의 다공성 매질로써 매연을 포집하여 축적할 수 있는 용량이 기존 필터에 비해 상대적으로 크며 그로인하여 재생 시 연소 안전성이 두드러진다. 둘째, 복잡하고 굴곡있는 기공 구조와 큰 비표면적은 물질전달 특성을 향상시켜 촉매 적용 시 촉매의 전환성능을 향상시키고 그로 인하여 귀금속 촉매량을 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 셋째, 금속폼은 다양한 기공크기를 가지며, 다양한 조합의 금속폼을 개발할 수 있어 요구 성능에 따른 최적의 필터 설계를 가능케 한다. 이번연구에서는, 금속폼의 필터 성능을 다양한 실험을 통하여 측정 평가하며, 이런 이해를 기반으로 필터로 제작하여 엔진실험벤치에서 그 성능을 검증하였다. 필터의 성능은 수트 포집효율과 그에 따른 필터의 압력강하와 촉매 활성 능력으로 평가되었다. 이러한 실험과 병행하여 금속폼에서의 수트 포집과정을 모델링하고 이를 상용 프로그램인 CFD-ACE+에 추가하여 설계전용 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 엔진실험결과와 비교 검증하였다. 본 논문에서는 금속폼의 높은 매연축적용량과 향상된 물질전달 특성이 어떻게 필터의 귀금속 촉매와 체적을 줄일 수 있는지 제시하고 있다.

To meet the requirements of the Tier 4 interim regulations for off-road vehicles, emissions of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) must be reduced by 95% and 30%, respectively, compared to current regulations. In this research, both the DPF and HPL EGR systems were investigated, with the aim of decreasing the PM and NOx emissions of a 56-kW off-road vehicle. The results of the experiments show that the DOC-DPF system is very useful for reducing PM emissions. It is also found that the back pressure is acceptable, and the rate of power loss is less than 5%. By applying the HPL EGR system to the diesel engine, the NOx emissions under low- and middle-load conditions are reduced effectively because of the high differential pressure between the turbocharger inlet and the intake manifold. The NOx emissions can be decreased by increasing the EGR rate, but total hydrocarbon (THC) emission increases because of the increased fuel consumption needed to compensate for the power loss caused by EGR and DPF.

The test was conducted on an 8000cc heavy-duty turbo-charged heavy-duty diesel engine on which continuous regeneration DPF was installed in order to investigate regeneration characteristics fur DPF and engine performance under conditions of standard (430ppm) or ultra low sulfur diesel (50ppm) and the results were compared with each other. Exhaust emissions, CO, HC, NOx, PM and soot were investigated carefully and tested under D-13 and D-3 modes.

Owing to highly developed industries and the use of fossil fuels, environmental problems becoming becoming pressing issues globally. Therefore, a study of automobile exhaust is urgently needed. Generally, air is sucked into the engine through the intake manifold. The aims of this study were to reduce the exhaust from used cars and increase the output by removing carbon deposits, which are considered a reason for the increasing exhaust and reduction of output, and the reduction of exhaust, variation of output and stability of idle speed were analyzed. The formation of carbon deposits within the suction manifold was investigated through a test device (KD147). In the intake manifold, the exhaust cleaning effect was confirmed.
