This paper is a purpose to Analyze and study the failure examples for a engine oil leakage of camshaft bearing seal, poor contact by computer connector fin damage and vaporizer inferiority on LPG automotive. The first example, when the researcher disassembled the cylinder head of engine to establish the cause for oil leakage, he confirmed the engine oil leakage by damaged between the engine intake camshaft bearing and seal part. The second example, the connector fin of power source line that control the starting of a car supplied with engine computer. As a result, it found the fact that the engine operation stopped because of cutting of the power source by connector fin damage. The third example, it verified the engine incongruity phe cutting of the power source by connector fin damage. The third example, it verified the engine incongruity phenomenon as thd gas didn't flow the vaporizer by foreign substance deposit. Finally, it supplied a small quantity gas from vaporizer to mix. As the computer controlling mix opening condition supplied a air as opening signal, the air and fuel became rarefied state. it knew that the engine didn't produce prpper power. Therefore, a car have to throughtly inspect not in order to arise the failure symptoms.

In order to investigate the characteristics of top ring groove deposit formation in diesel engine, engine test and simulation test were performed. From component analysis of used oils sampled from actual running engines, soot content in engine oil was selected as a main parameter for evaluating oil degradation. Deposit formation is highly related to soot content in lubricating oils. And high soot content oil accelerates deposit formation even in low temperature region below 26$0^{\circ}C$. In low temperature region below 26$0^{\circ}C$, deposit formation rate is mainly affected by top ring groove temperature. However, in high temperature region above 26$0^{\circ}C$, deposit formation rate is affected by soot content as well as top ring groove temperature. Therefore, soot content as well as top ring groove temperature should be kept a certain level in order to prevent troubles due to carbon deposit formation.

In order to establish a new temperature criterion to prevent the pistons from ring sticking due to deposit formation, bench test and engine test were performed. The effects of oil degradation and temperature on deposit formation was studied by a modified panel coking test. Oil degradation was analyzed by FTIR. Oil oxidation and nitration were selected as a factors to evaluate oil degradation. Bench test results show that oil oxidation is more effective to the deposit formation than oil nitration. And the temperature increase accelerates deposit formation and deposit formation increase rapidly above 26$0^{\circ}C$. Especially, in case of degraded oil, the deposit formation increases so rapidly that ring sticking can occur. The effect of piston temperature on the deposit formation was confirmed by engine test.

The convection heat transfer coefficients on the top surface of a large liquid petroleum liquid injection(LPLi) engine piston with the oil gallery are analyzed by solving an inverse thermal conduction problem. The heat transfer coefficients are numerically found so that the difference between analyzed temperatures from the finite element method and measured temperatures is minimized. Using the resulting heat transfer coefficients as the boundary condition, temperature of a large LPLi engine piston is analyzed. With varying cooling water temperature, temperature, stress, and thermal expansion of the piston are analyzed and evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of diesel soot contents on the deterioration of engine oil in terms of the changes in the dielectric constants of diesel engine oils. Therefore, it is figured out the level of oil deterioration by investigating how are the dielectric constants of diesel engine oils changed according to changes in diesel soot contents. The measured data will be able to be used as the reference data to judge the level of oil deterioration induced by diesel soot when the previously developed oil deterioration sensor will be applied at diesel vehicles in the future.

Recently, there has been an active study about friction force of moving parts for automotive. This study is development and evaluation of oil pockets for journal bearing and tappet valve for range extended electric vehicle. Specially, oil pockets are effect on friction force depend on pitch, size, depth. In this study, fine oil pocket was formed using by etched texturing on the journal bearing and tappet valve. And oil pocket analyzed by SEM and friction force test was carried out by tensile tester. Finally, in this study, it was suggested by round and plane part which journal besring and tappet valve.

This paper presents the analysis technique and procedure of main engine components-cylinder block, cylinder liners, gasket and cylinder head-using the finite element method, which aims to assess mainly the potential of lower oil consumption in a view point of engine design and to decide subsequently the accuracy of engine design which was done. The F.E. model of an engine section consisting of one whole cylinder and two adjacent half cylinders is used, whereby the crankcase is cut off at the block bottom deck. By means of a 3-dimensional F.E. model-including cylinder block, liners, gasket, cylinder head, bolts and valve seat rings as separate parts a linear analysis of deformations and stresses was performed for three different loading conditions;assembly, thermal and gas loads. For the analysis of thermal boundary conditions also the temperature field had to be evaluated in a subsequent step.

To improve the vehicle fuel economy, various technologies such as improvement of power train efficiency, use of light weight material, improvement of aerodynamic design, have been studied. One of the possible way to improve the vehicle fuel economy is to reduce the engine friction loss by improving the engine oil characteristics. In the present paper, it was examined the effect of the engine oil viscosity and the addition of friction modifier to engine oil on vehicle fuel economy improvements. Moreover, the effect of engine oil degradation on vehicle fuel economy was examined with two gasoline vehicles and one diesel vehicle by using the fuel economy test facility.

This paper have been analyzed specific wear characteristics of various base oils used in the automobile engine by experimental study. Specific wear amount has been calculated by the measured normal force and friction force under various speed operating conditions, such as, viscosities and temperatures. It have been verified that the specific wear characteristics relation of the base oil used in a engine oil is related to the various operating conditions.

In this paper, we address the problem of designing and implementing an oil pump control system driven by a brushless DC (BLDC) motor. The proposed oil pump plays the role of providing fuel to the engine clutch and transmission of hybrid vehicles. Main consideration is given to enhancing response feature and accuracy of the oil pump by simplifying the controller that is driven by a BLDC motor under PWM voltage control, which is a standard control method for BLDC motors. The proposed control scheme also helps to increase efficiency and reliability of the oil pump system. To validate the performance of the proposed system, we conduct experiments on BLDC motor speed control and oil pump operations.
