Hydrogen features highest energy density per mass and is expected to be desirable as a fuel of HALE(High altitude long endurance) UAV(Unmanned aerial vehicle). A reciprocating internal combustion engine is known to be a reliable and economic power source for this kind of UAV. Therefore, the combination of hydrogen and engine is worth of doing research. Test bench with 2.4L Spark-Ignited engine was prepared for the experiment in which start and combustion characteristics at idle condition were examined in this study. Stable hydrogen supply system and a universal ECU(Engine control unit) were also utilized for the test engine. Equivalence ratio and spark timings at idle operation were investigated and compared to the data of gasoline engine. The results will be a starting point for full-scale research of hydrogen engine for HALE UAV.

The engine idle speed mode becomes worse as one drives a vehicle for several years. This is due to ageing of engine and power-train parts. In this case, unstable idle conditions such as engine stall and droop are frequently experienced when the engine gets heavy torque loads due to power steering pump and air conditioning compressor. The objective of this paper is to study on the idle speed control using PID controller under load disturbances. The input of the PID controller is an error of rpm. The output of the PID controller is an ISCV duty cycle. The dSPACE Controller Boards are used to interface with engine. The on-vehicle test is realized using by SIMULINK and BLOCKSETS tools. The real time interface control panel supplied by Control Desk S/W is designed to have good results in engine idle speed control.

여기에서는 삼원촉매 장착엔진을 정밀하게 제어(연료 제어, 공회전 제어, 점화시기 제어, Purge Air 제어 등)하여 삼원촉매의 효율을 향상시키고, 그 결과 배기가스를 감소시킴과 더불어 운전성 및 동력성능을 향상시킨 엔진 전자 제어 시스템의 개요를 간단히 소개하였다. 앞으로도 북미지 역의 배기가스 관련법규가 더욱 강화될 것으로 예상되며, 이에 대응한 엔진 제어 시스템에 대한 지속적인 연구 개발이 필요하리라 생각된다.

The purpose of this paper studies the failure cases including with system of liquefied phase injection in liquified petroleum gas vehicle. The first case, resulting with inspection the injector of LPG, it occasionally certified the injection damage phenomenon that the fuel efficiency(km/l) was decreased to 5% by carbon deposit with injector hole when the driver operates the vehicle. The second case, it certified the interference phenomenon of air flow with carbon deposit in ISA system control for idle speed of engine and throttle body suppling air into engine. As a result, the fuel efficiency was decreased 7%. The third case, the outer air during intake stroke was intermittently flowed in this gasket gap because of weaken adhesion power phenomenon for cylinder block by intake manifold gasket tearing. Consequentially, it certified the decrease for fuel efficiency to 3% by risen the amount of fuel injection as the air inflow quantity. These failure examples reduced the power performance of engine and the fuel efficiency of vehicle. It have to minimize of failure phenomenon preparing through quality management.

In this study, an automatic idle stop control system was developed, which automatically stops the idle state engine as it detects the stop state of the car for several seconds and restarts the stopped engine with the driver's electrical signal. It is composed of microprocessor and the related electronic circuits and communicates with ECU and TCU. With accurate and confirmed operating performance, the control system was equipped in the test car which was proceeded the ECE15+EUDC mode test. It is confirmed that the control system, ASG has much favourable effects on reducing the fuel consumption and harmful exhaust emissions.

Along with the strengthening vehicle environmental regulations and the growing needs for the energy consumption reduction technology, the researches on the engine idle stop system, have been briskly carried out around the automobile manufacturers before the development of alternative energy. Furthermore, there is a movement to disseminate the environment friendly idle stop system by combining the system to the generalized smart key system to not only increase purchasing but also provide the convenience and save the energy as well. In this paper, we designed and implemented the idle stop system algorithm for the aftermarket smart key system with the OBD-II interface. The implemented start stop system is capable of controlling two independent systems, the smart key system and intelligent idle stop system, on a single ECU. In addition, the implemented start stop system standardizes the communication interface with the vehicles to reduce the time required for installing the start stop system to the various vehicles, and satisfies every standard response time limit for the vehicle status request signals.

The purpose of this paper analyzes and studies to seek the failure examples of electronic control actuators for engine in liquified petroleum gas vehicle. The first, it was verified phenomenon for intial starting damage and no-acceleration of engine because of occasionally fuel feeding interception by clogged of emergency cutting solenoid valve filter. The second, the contact resistance produced in the connecting part of engine control relay because of no fully surface contacting by processes and assembly badness. It was displayed phenomenon of re-starting badness. The actuator that idle speed control system was sticked inside because of intake-air decreasing by carbon deposit. As a result, it was verified the phenomenon of disharmony that repeated up and down the engine revolution.

The objective of this paper is to study on the idle speed control using the fuzzy logic controller under load disturbance. The design procedure for fuzzy logic controller depends on the expert's knowledge or trial and error. The inputs of the fuzzy controller are error of rpm and variation of rpm. The output of the fuzzy controller is an ISC motor step and ignition timing. The airflow is controlled by the ISC motor movement and the idle speed is controlled by the airflow control and ignition timing control. During the control, air to fuel was checked by LAMBDA sensor. All experiments were performed in a real vehicle.

배기토출음은 공회전시 발생하는 소음에 큰 영향을 끼친다. 연비를 높이기 위하여 공회전시 RPM을 낮추면 엔진 점화 주파수가 낮아지며, 이 경우 배기계 위치에 따른 음향학적 공명 주파수와 일치하면 배기 토출음의 크기가 증가한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공회전시 배기토출음을 줄이기 위해 소음기의 위치와 각 배기관들의 길이를 최적화하였다. 최적화 결과로써 3 가지 배기계 위치를 얻을 수 있었고, 실제 실험과의 비교를 통하여 최적화된 배기계 위치가 그렇지 않은 배기계 위치에 비하여 소음 저감량이 높은 것을 확인하였다.
