In a bi-fuel engine using gasoline and LPG fuel, with the current ignition timing for gasoline being used, the effective performance could not be taken in LPG fuel supply mode. The ignition timing in LPG fuel mode must be advanced much more than that of gasoline mode for the compensation of its lower flame speed, due to engine torque drop. This study aims to develop the control system for ignition spark timing conversion which is composed of hardwares and control algorithm for gasoline/LPG engine. We propose the control system which can advance the ignition spark timing in LPG fuel mode more than used in gasoline fuel mode. The advance of ignition timing is achieved by change of the ignition dwell time of coil igniter. The engine torque and F/E(Fuel-Economy) in LPG fuel mode are measured to evaluate the difference of engine performance between before and alter changing ignition spark timings. The engine torque and F/E are increased respectively, which proves the developed control system is effective so much for gasoline and LPG bi-fuel engine.

본 논문의 목적은 점화시기의 변화가 LPG/가솔린 겸용차량에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위한 것으로 가솔린 전용연료 모드를 LPG 전용연료 모드로 진각시킨 제어시스템을 제안하여 엔진회전수(1500rpm, 2000rpm) 및 점화시기 ($5^{\circ}$,$10^{\circ}$,$15^{\circ}$,$20^{\circ}$)의 변화에 따른 실린더내의 가스압력, 압력상승률 및 열발생률을 측정하였다. 그 결과 실런더내의 가스압력 및 압력상승률은 기관의 회전속도가 1500rpm 및 2000rpm 모두 점화시기가 진각될수록 증가하였으나, $20^{\circ}$부근에서의 압력상승률값만 약간 낮게 나타났다. 또한, 열발생률은 1500rpm에서 점화시기가 진각될수록 증가하였으며 2000rpm의 $20^{\circ}$부근에서 감소하는 경향을 볼 수 있었다.

자동차 공회전은 운전자의 운전 만족도에 여러 영향을 미친다. 또한 보다 높은 연료 경제성의 요구가 고조됨에 따라, 자동차 생산자들은 계속적으로 보다 나은 운전조건의 혜택에 관심을 갖는다. 스파크 점화기관의 공회전에서 기관의 안정성은 연소변동에 의해 좌우되며, 기관의 안정성은 연료분사시기, 점화시기, 그리고 공기연료비 등의 요소들에 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 공회전에서 연료분사시기, 점화시기 그리고 공기연료비 등에 따라, 연소의 안정성과 변동율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.

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.

In a bi-fuel engine using gasoline and LPG fuel, with the current ignition timing for gasoline being used, the optimum performance could not be taken in LPG fuel supply mode. The ignition timing in LPG fuel mode must be advanced much more than that of gasoline mode for the compensation of its higher ignition temperature. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the ignition spark timing conversion influences the engine performance of LPG/Gasoline Bi-Fuel engine. In order to investigate the engine performance during combustion, engine performance are sampled by data acquisition system, for example cylinder pressure, pressure rise rate and heat release rate, while change of the rpm(1500, 2000, 2500) and the ignition timing advance($5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$). As the result, between 1500rpm, 2000rpm and 2500rpm, the cylinder pressure and pressure rise rate was increased when the spark ignition was advanced but pressure rise rate at $20^{\circ}$ was smaller value.

On cold start operation of an SI engine, a catalyst shows poor performance before it reaches activation temperature. Therefore, fast warmup of the catalyst is very crucial to reduce harmful emissions. In this study, an appropriate control strategy is investigated to increase exhaust gas temperature through changes of spark timing. Combustion stability is also considered at the same time. Exhaust gas temperature and pressure of combustion chamber are measured to investigate the effects of spark timings on cold start and idle performance. Experiments showed that retarded spark timing promotes the combustion at the end of expansion stroke and increases exhaust gas temperature during cold start.

The introduction of inexpensive cylinder pressure sensors provides new opportunities for precise engine control. This paper presents a control strategy of spark advance based upon cylinder pressure of spark ignition engines. A location of peak pressure(LPP) is the major parameter for controlling the spark timing, and also the UP is estimated, using a multi-layer feedforward neural network, which needs only five pressure sensor output voltage samples at -40˚, -20˚, 0˚, 20˚, 40˚ after top dead center. The neural network plays an important role in mitigating the A/D conversion load of an electronic engine controller by increasing the sampling interval from 10 crank angle(CA) to 20˚ CA. A proposed control algorithm does not need a sensor calibration and pegging(bias calculation) procedure because the neural network estimates the UP from the raw sensor output voltage. The estimated LPP can be regarded as a good index for combustion phasing, and can also be used as an MBT control parameter. The feasibility of this methodology is closely examined through steady and transient engine operations to control individual cylinder spark advance. The experimental results have revealed a favorable agreement of individual cylinder optimal combustion phasing.
