Recently, the internal combustion engines have focused on reducing both the CO2 emissions in order to cope with severe regulations for greenhouse effect. Therefore, various new technologies have been developed in many countries. Among them, the cooling system is spotlighted because it has great effect on fuel efficiency. However, the present engine cooling system is almost same as one of the 50 years ago. The needs for high performance and compact size make it important to improve engine cooling system, down-sizing and control method of coolant flow. Thus, low fuel consumption technology such as control and synthetic management of cooling system was necessary to satisfy with these needs. In this study, we applied electric thermostat to improve the fuel economy. The fuel consumption was compared after driving FTP-75 mode on both conditions which were with a conventional wax thermostat and with a electric thermostat. The coolant temperature of opening the electric thermostat is higher.

현재의 세계 자동차 시장은 석유 자원의 고갈과 전자화로 높은 연비의 기술적 성숙을 요구하고 있으며, 이는 미래 자동차 기술의 전동화를 가속시키고 있음에 따라 종래 엔진부하로 사용되는 시스템 및 유압시스템의 전동화 기술추이가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이중 엔진 부하 메커니즘의 하나인 엔진 쿨링 팬 분야는 소비용량이 크고, 고 연비증감 기술증진의 전동화에 따른 차량 성능개선의 효과가 높아 실용 전동화 용의성에 의해 새로운 최우선 차량 전동부하로 나타나고 있다. 특히, 대형 차량(버스, 트럭)의 엔진 Cooling Fan 시스템은 차량 연비저감의 주요원 중에 하나로 대두되고 있으며, 도시 소음의 주된 요인이 되고 있어 전동화 기술개발의 필요성이 매우 높다. 전동 Cooling Fan 시스템은 종래 엔진 구동형 시스템에 비하여 엔진부하를 감소시킬 수 있고, 차량 연비향상 및 유해배출 가스를 저감시킴으로 기술적, 환경적 개발효과가 매우 높다. 본 연구에서는 쿨링팬 고출력 BLDC모터 설계제작에 관한 내용과, 최적 팬 블레이드 설계제작, 마지막으로 개발 전동 쿨링팬 성능평가에 관한 내용이 포함되어 있다.

여러 가지 필수적인 윤활유 성상과 함께 요즘 개발된 엔진에서 요구되는 중요한 특성 중 하나가 윤활유 내의 공기 혼입(aeration) 문제이다. 만일 윤활유 내에 공기가 일정 한도 이상 혼입되면 윤활유가 수행하는 일반 기능 중 하중을 분산시키는 압력 분산 작용과 윤활 작용 및 마찰열을 식혀 주는 냉각 작용이 제대로 되지 않아 엔진 수명과 내구성에 심각한 문제를 초래한다. 특히 현재 밸브 소음 저감 및 정비성 향상을 위해 대부분의 엔진에서 채용하고 있는 hydraulic valve lash adjuster(HLA)에 미치는 영향이 가장 심각하다. HLA는 그 작동 특성이 엔진 오일의 비 압축성을 이용하고 있기 때문에 만일 HLA 내부의 고압실에 공기가 오일에 섞여 들어간다변 밸브 시스템 강성이 떨어지게 되어 오히려 HLA 사용 목적에 반해 밸크 이상 거동에 의한 소음이 유발될 뿐만 아니라 심하면 밸브가 파단되는 심각한 현상이 초래되기도 한다. 상기한 바와 같이 aeration 현상은 경우에 따라 매우 심각한 문제를 유발하기도 하며 엔진이 고속 고출력화 하면서 그 특성은 더욱 관심사가 되어 왔다. 따라서 엔진 각 부분의 올바른 기능과 신뢰성 확보를 위해 aeration의 특징 발생 원인 및 대책을 살펴보고 특히 oil aeration이 HLA와 엔진 베어링에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석 고찰해 봄으로써 그 특성을 이해하고자 한다.

An automotive engine cooling system is closely related with overall engine performances, such as reduction of fuel consumption, decrease of air pollution, and increase of engine life. Because of complex reaction between each component, the direct experiment, using a vehicle, takes high cost, long time, and slow response to the system change. Therefore, a computer simulation would provide the designer with an inexpensive and effective tool for design, development, and optimization of the engine cooling system over a wide range of operating conditions. In this work, it has been predicted the thermal performance of the engine cooling system in cases of stationary mode, constant speed mode, and city-drive mode by mathematical modelling of each component and numerical analysis. The components are engine, radiator, heater, thermostat, water pump, and cooling fans. Since the engine model is the most important, that is divided into eight sub-sections. The volume mean temperature of eight sub-sections are simultaneously calculated at a time. For detail calculation, the radiator and heater are also divided into many sub-sections like control volumes in finite difference method. Each sub-section is assumed to consist of three parts, coolant, tube with fin, and air. Hence it has been developed the simulation program that can be used in case of design and system configuration changes. The overall performance results obtained by the program were desirable and the time-traced tendencies of the results agreed fairly well with those of actual situations.

Recently, there has been increasing interest in the efficient use of energy due to policies related to the reduction of greenhouse gas. This paper suggests a highly efficient sea water cooling system for the load-dependent control of a seawater pump depending on the load, to improve energy efficiency of the warship. This study models the propulsion diesel engine and simulation reflecting the characteristics of the warship operation state that checked the performance of high efficiency sea water cooling system. The simulation results revealed the cooling system of high efficiency with energy savings of approximately 53% compared to the existing cooling systems. These results can be used to improve the performance of the cooling system of the warship propulsion diesel engine in the future.

엔진 밸브와 밸브시트의 마모는 엔진 성능에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요소 중에 하나이다. 엔진 밸브와 밸브시트는 엔진 구동 과정에서 발생하는 고온의 배기가스, 밸브 스프링의 빠른 움직임, 엔진 폭발 과정의 고압, 균일하지 못한 냉각시스템으로 발생하는 실린더 헤드의 뒤틀림이 만들어 내는 극한 환경을 이겨내야 한다. 본 연구에서는 밸브 및 밸브시트의 마모율과 마모 메카니즘을 명확하게 규명하기 위해서 실제 자동차 엔진 내부의 조건인 온도, 밸브와 밸브시트간의 충돌, 스라이딩 등에 관한 것들을 고려하여 밸브 및 밸브시트가 충돌 시험할 수 있는 전용마모 시험기를 사용하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 시편은 현재 실차에 사용되고 있는 밸브와 밸브시트를 사용하였다. 그 종류는 STR35 밸브, STL #6 및 STL #32이다. 밸브시트는 HVS1-2 재질을 사용하였다.

This paper describes the design and analysis of a periscope imaging system installed at the engine test facility in the Agency for Defense Development. The periscope system is a cylinder-shaped image observation system installed at the rear of the engine and at the top of the diffuser. The periscope system has high risk of breaking because it is directly affected by high temperature (2300 K) and products of combustion. Thus, we used 1D heat transfer calculation, and 2D and 3D CFD analysis to confirm the heat flux and temperature distribution. Also, the cooling performance was verified. In the current design, using the periscope system, we can see flame shapes, control of the nozzle, and stability of the exhaust flow visually.

The ignition characteristics of liquid rocket engine thrust chambers which have been developed by domestic technology were analyzed through hot-firing tests. Thrust chambers used in hot-firing tests have different characteristics in terms of the injector for ignition, film cooling method and the position of the oxidizer inlet. Also, these thrust chambers used their respective startup sequences. Analysis results showed that according to temperature profiles of the oxidizer manifold, low frequency fluctuation was appeared in ignition area. This low frequency fluctuation didn't give rise to violent malfunction of the thrust chamber, but the continuous observation as a concern parameter in the side of interfaces with engine system and launch vehicle should be demanded.

The retarder as a hydraulic brake system in order to assist a service brakes in commercial vehicle is operated by automatic and manual mode due to driver. Braking energy by retarder operation is transmitted to the engine radiator of vehicle cooling system, passing through the retarder oil heat exchanger.

Thermoelectric generator, which is known as using Seebeck effect, have been widely applied in many industrial parts, for instance, from submarine to equipments capable of producing hot or cooling water. Its usefulness was verified in terms of producing electric power using temperature difference and vice versa. Application on thermoelectric generator has been mainly forced on exhaust gas of automotive engine so far. In this study, the possibility was investigated whether electric power could be produced by using cooling water in automotive engine. As the result, it showed that electric power had differences depending on shapes of power auxiliary apparatus and, in this experiment, maximum of electric power was 1.5 voltage.
