HCCI engines take advantage of high compression ratio and heat release rate, they exhibit high efficiency in compression ignition engines. HCCI engines also utilize a lean air/fuel ratio resulting in low emissions of NOx and particulate matter(PM). The objective of this research is to determine the effects of EGR rate on the combustion processes of HCCI. For this purpose, a 4-cylinder, compression ignition engine was converted into a HCCI engine, and a heating device was installed to raise the temperature of the intake air and also to make it more consistent. In addition, a pressure sensor was inserted into each of the cylinders to investigate the differences in characteristics among the cylinders.

The effect of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on the characteristics of exhaust gas emissions, and SFC are experimentally investigated by four-cylinder, four-cycle and direct injection marine diesel engine. In order to reduce the soot contents in the recirculated exhaust gas to intake system of the engines, a soot removal system of a cylinderical-type scrubber is specially designed and manufactured for the experimental system. (1) SFC is increased in downward convex curve style with increasing excess air ratio, it is increased with increasing EGR rate at the same excess air ratio. (2) NOx emission is reduced in downward convex curve style with increasing excess air ratio, it is reduced with increasing EGR rate at the same excess air ratio. (3) Soot emission is decreased in downward convex curve style with increasing excess air ratio, it is reduced with increasing EGR rate at the same excess air ratio. (4) CO emission is increased in nearly straight line style with increasing excess air ratio, it is increased with increasing EGR rate at the same excess air ratio. (5) HC emission is not constant tendency with increasing excess air ratio, it is increased with increasing EGR rate at the same excess air ratio.

Cooled EGR system is an effective method for the reduction of $NO_x$ emission and PM emission from a diesel engine. Proper choice of wavy cooling fins and gas tubes is a key factor of cooled EGR system. As a part of solutions for energy crisis and environmental problems, hybrid vehicles mounted with diesel engines are under development globally. This study investigates the cooled EGR systems for hybrid diesel engine with the specifications of both optimized wavy cooling fins and improved shape of structure to verify the heat exchange efficiency, outlet temperature and gas pressure drop of cooler by means of numerical analyses and rig performance tests. The output of this study will be applied to a 2.0L hybrid diesel engine which is being developed for domestic and overseas market.

The EGR system is one of important components in diesel engine. The regulation on NOx emission has been tightened up. Therefore, it is a significant issue to develop and commercialize the high efficient EGR cooler system that reduces NOx emission in DI diesel engine. Key performance factor of the EGR cooler system is how to properly design both wavy cooling fins and gas tubes. This paper proposes a high efficient EGR cooler that has been upgraded with both the optimized wavy cooling fins and the improved shape of structure. The evaluation of the heat exchange efficiency, outlet temperature, and gas pressure drop of the EGR cooler is performed with the prototype of the proposed EGR cooler. The result shows a good solution and will be implemented to the model of a clean diesel engine being developed for both domestic and overseas market.

The effects of recirculated exhaust gas on the wears of piston and piston rings were investigated by the experiment with a two-cylinder, four cycle, indirect injection diesel engine operating at an engine load of 75% and an engine speed of 1600 rpm. For the purpose of comparison between the wear rates of two cylinders with and without EGR, the recirculated exhaust gas was sucked into one of two cylinders after the soot contenets in exhaust emissions were removed by an intentionally designed cylinder-type scrubber equipped with 6 water injectors(A water injector has 144 nozzles of 1.0 mm diameter), while only the fresh air was inhaled into the other cylinder. These experiments were carried out on the fuel injection timing fixed at 15.3$^{\circ}$ BTDC. It was found that the wear rate of piston skirt with EGR increased a little bit, but the piston head diameter increased, rather than decreased, owing to soot adhesion and erosion wear, and especially larger with EGR, and that the wear rates of the top and second piston ring(compression ring)thickness with EGR were more than twice the wear rate of top ring in case of no EGR, but the wear rate of oil rings thickness without EGR increased greater than that with EGR.

Recently, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system which re-flow a cooled exhaust gas from vehicles burning diesel as fuel to a combustion chamber of engine has been used to solve the serious air pollution. For the design and mass production of EGR system, it is essential to ensure structural integrity evaluation. The EGR system consisted of ten dimpled oval core rectangular tubes, two fix-plates, two coolant pipes, shell body and two flanges in this study. To confirm the safety of the designed system, finite element modeling about each component such as the dimpled oval core tube with the dimpled shape and others was carried out. The reliability of EGR system against exhaust gas flow with high temperature was investigated by flow and pressure analysis in the system. Also, thermal and strength analysis were verified the safety of EGR system against temperature change in the shell and tubes. Furthermore, modal analysis using ANSYS was also performed. From the results of FE analysis, there were confirmed that EGR system was safe against the flow of exhaust gas, temperature change in EGR system and vibration on operation condition, respectively.

Recently, diesel engine has been frequently applied to RV, SUV and light duty truck due to the good fuel economy and high thermal efficiency. $NO_x$ and PM, environmental pollution materials are basically produced in diesel combustion process.

Cooled EGR system is an effective method for the reduction of $NO_x$ emission and PM emission from a diesel engine and EGR cooler is the key component of the system. This study investigates the EGR cooler of oval gas tubes compared with the EGR cooler of shell & tubes to verify the heat exchange efficiency of cooler by means of engine dynamometer tests, rig performance tests and numerical analyses.

본 연구에서는 CO2 포집을 포함하는 500 MWe 급 전기를 생산하는 순산소 석탄화력발전소에 대한 공정흐름도를 제시하였고, 기술경제성 평가를 수행하였다. 이 석탄화력발전소는 순환 유동층 보일러(CFB), 초초 임계 증기 사이클 증기 터빈, 보일러에서 배출되는 배기가스내 수분과 오염물질을 제거하는 배기가스 정제 장치(FGC), 산소 분리 초저온 공정(ASU), 이산화탄소를 분리하는 극저온 공정(CPU)을 포함한다. 건식 배기가스 재순환(FGR)은 CFB연소기내 온도 제어와 고농도 CO2 배출을 위하여 사용되었다. 이 순산소 석탄화력발전소의 열효율을 증가시키기 위하여 FGR 흐름에 대한 열교환, ASU에서 배출되는 질소 흐름에 대한 열교환, 그리고 CPU 내 기체 압축기의 열 회수를 고려하였다. FGR열교환기의 온도차(ΔT)의 감소는 배기가스의 더 많은 폐열 회수를 의미하며, 전기 및 엑서지 효율을 증가시켰다. FGR열교환기의 ΔT가 10 ℃ 에서 FGR과 FGC 주변의 연간 비용이 최소가 되었다. 이때, 전기 효율은 39%, 총투자비는 1371 M$, 총생산비용은 90 M$, 그리고 투자수익률은 7%/y, 그리고 투자회수기간은 12년으로 예측되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 순산소 석탄화력발전소의 열효율 향상을 위한 열교환망이 제시되었고, FGR 열교환기의 최적 운전 조건이 도출되었다.

In this paper, the combination effects of oxygen component in fuel and exhaust gas recirculation on the exhaust emissions have been investigated for a direct injection diesel engine. It is a kind of effective oxygenated fuel of diether group that the smoke emission of DGM(diethylene glycol dimethyl ether) blended fuel is reduced remarkably compared with commercial diesel fuel, that is, it can supply oxygen component sufficiently at higher loads and speeds in diesel engine. But, NOx emission of oxygenated fuel was increased compared with commercial diesel fuel. Also, the effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on the characteristics of NOx emission has been investigated. It was found that simultaneous reduction of smoke and NOx was achieved with oxygenated fuel(DGM 5vol-%) and cooled EGR method(10∼15%).

본 논문은 Comprex압력파 과급기(Pressure-wave Supercharger;이하 PWS)의 공기 역학적인 원 리에 대해 기술하였으며, 또 기체 동력학적인 현상들이 별도의 제어장치없이도 우수한 운전성과 낮은 연료소모율, 적은 배기 배출물을 형성하는 차량들에 대해 기계적으로는 간단하면서도 완벽 한 boosting장치를 만들어 내는데 어떻게 사용될 수 있는지를 설명하였다. 근본적인 목적은 종 래의 turbo charger와 동일이지만 Comprex PWS는 현재 응용되고 있는 승용차가 요구하는 여러 가지면, 즉 1) 부하변동에 대한 충진공기압의 빠른 응답성 2) 엔진속도 전영역에 걸친 높은 boost 효과 3) 배기배출물특성을 좋게할 수 있는 배기가스 재순환(EGR)효과 등에서 종래의 것과 구별된다. 따라서 PWS의 중요한 특징들을 기술하였으며 마지막으로 최근 자동차용 Diesel Engine에의 몇 가지 예를 보았다.
