수소 기관에서 역화없이 고성능과 저$NO_x$를 실현시키기 위하여 밸브 타이밍 변화에 따른 흡기관 분사식 수소 기관의 성능을 파악하고 가솔린의 경우와 비교하였다. 그 결과 흡기밸브 타이밍은 역화억제와 성능향상에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 흡기밸브타이밍의 진각은 역화를 억제하며 효율과 출력을 동시에 향상된다. 비록 흡기밸브 타이밍 변화에 의해 NOx는 증가하지만, 희박영역인 출 ${\Phi}=0.5$에서 현저히 감소된다. 또한 열효율은 ${\Phi}=0.5$ 토크는 ${\Phi}=1.0$에서 가장 높게 나타난다. 흡기밸브 타이밍을 $ATDC20^{\circ}$에서 TDC로 변화시켰을 때, ${\Phi}=1.0$에서 토크는 약 28% 증가되고, ${\Phi}=0.5$에서 효율은 약 7%향상된다.

The common rail diesel engine used in this study uses mechanically driven camshaft for the operation of intake and exhaust valves, and the timing of valve opening and closing is fixed according to the operating conditions of the vehicle. However, the electric generator engine operates at a constant speed and partial load. Therefore, in order to optimize the design of common rail diesel engine for power generation, the characteristics of diesel combustion and emissions according to the change of valve timing were examined and calculated in terms of fuel economy. The valve timing of the diesel engine influenced the combustion characteristics by changing the intake and exhaust flow and it was considered that the fuel efficiency of the generator could be improved.

고효율의 실현이 가능한 흡기관 분사식 수소기관의 역화 억제 가능성을 파악하고자 밸브 오버랩 기간의 변화에 따른 제반 기관성능과 역화가 발생되는 역화한계 당량비를 실험적으로 해석하였다. 실험에는 기계식 연속 가변밸브 타이밍 시스템이 부착된 연구용 수소기관을 사용하였다. 밸브 오버랩기간은 배기밸브 개폐시기를 고정하고 흡기밸브 캠의 위상각을 조절하여 변화시켰다. 해석결과 밸브 오버랩 기간의 감소에 따른 제반기관성능은 통상의 기관과 유사하지만 역화한계 당량비가 확장되어 초기 단계이지만 수소기관의 역화발생에 밸브오버랩 기간이 관여하는 것이 보였다. 기관 회전수 1600 rpm, WOT의 실험 조건에서 밸브 오버랩 기간을 $20^{\circ}CA$에서 $0^{\circ}CA$로 감소시킨 경우 역화한계당량비는 약 45% 정도 확장되고 정미 토크는 16% 감소했다.

The traditional engine valve train in a combustion engine is the mechanically driven camshaft system that provides one-fixed valve timing. The variable valve timing (VVT), however, is highly required to achieve the significant improvement in fuel economy. To achieve VVT in combustion engine, the solenoid type of actuator had been developed in past years, but it requires current in all operation period, the starting is difficult and the efficiency is low. In this paper, a new linear actuator using permanent magnet (PM) is proposed and verified its feasibility by finite element (FE) analysis.

This paper presents the design optimization of a linear actuator for fast response of electromagnetic engine valve. The optimization is performed using generic algorithm which is one of global search techniques and not highly dependent on either initial conditions or constraints in the solution domain to maximize the mechanical frequency of the armature mass and valve spring stiffness for fast response of the engine valve. In the results, the mechanical frequency is improved by 30 %.

Residual gas fraction in a combustion process is very crucial to improve combustion and cyclic variations. Especially, the residual gas fraction is strongly affected by backflow of the residual gas during the valve overlap period in an idle operation. Therefore, it is one of the most interesting that valve timings can affect flow characteristics of gas exchange process, especially during idle operation. This analysis investigates residual gas fraction with respect to valve timing changes which is critical for combustion efficiency and engine performance. Flow characteristics of residual gas by changing intake and exhaust valve timing are calculated by CFD methodology during an idle operation in an SI engine. It is analyzed that retarded EVO and advanced IVO results in the increase of valve overlap period and consequently, residual gas fraction. Futhermore, changes in IVO have stronger effects on variation of residual gas fraction.

In this study, diesel/natural gas dual-fuel engine was studied numerically using DoE method. The engine is CI engine for power generation and modelled by 1-D simulation GT-power. The combustion and emission characteristics were analyzed as a function of IVO, IVC and the ratio of natural gas to total fuel enegy. As the proportion of natural gas increases, the BSFC(Brake specific fuel consumption) is increased and BSNOx(Brake specific NOx) is decreased. If specific valve timing to improve the BSFC is applied to the engine, the BSFC is decreased by 1% and simultaneously BSNOx is decreased by 36%.

최근의 기관은 DOHC 또는 SOHC로 4밸브나 5밸브를 채용하여 흡기계의 효율향상을 시도하고 있다. 그러나 고속성능에 중점을 두고 기관제원을 설정하게 되면서 저속 실용역에서 토크의 저하를 초래하는 경우가 많아지고 있으며 금후 이러한 문제의 해결에 많은 노력이 계속될 것으로 전망된다. 또한 전자기술의 발전과 자동차에 대한 적용 기술이 향상됨에 따라 앞으로 가변흡기 시스템, 가변밸브 타이밍, 가변 터보, 가변 기통수, 가변 압축비등 가변기술에 대한 연구개발이 더욱 활발히 이루어질 것이다.

Experimental study of variation of exhaust gas temperature was carried out with the changes of spark timing and exhaust valve timing during the cold start operation of an SI engine. To investigate the effects of these variables on combustion stability, cylinder pressure and exhaust gas temperature were measured and analyzed. Experimental results showed that exhaust gas temperature increased when spark and exhaust valve timings were retarded from the baseline cases. However, combustion stability during cold start deteriorated under the retarded conditions. To increase exhaust gas temperature for fast warmup of catalysts while maintaining combustion stability, an optimal condition for spark and valve timing retard should be appied for the cold start period.
