It is investigated of the DME spray characteristics about varied ambient pressure and fuel injection pressure using the common rail fuel injection system when the nozzle holes diameter is varied. The common rail fuel injection system and fuel cooling system is used since DME has compressibility and vaporization in atmospheric temperature. The fuel injection quantity and spray characteristics were measured. The spray was analyzed of spray shape, penetration length, and spray angle at the six nozzle holes. The 2 types injector were used, the one was 0.166 mm diameter the other one was 0.250 mm diameter. The ambient pressure which is based on gage pressure was 0 MPa, 2.5 MPa, and 5 MPa. The fuel injection pressure was varied by 5 MPa from 35 MPa to 70 MPa. When using the converted injector, compared to using the common injector, the DME injection quantity was increased 127 % but it didn't have the same heat release. Both of the common and converted injector had symmetric spray shapes. In case of converted injector, there were asymmetrical spray shapes until 1.2 ms, but after 1.2 ms the spray shape was symmetrical. Compared with the common and converted injector, the converted injector had shorter penetration length and wider spray angle than the common injector.

As the management of fuel efficiency becomes globally reinforced in attempts to find an environment-friendly vehicle that will operate against global warming, the interest in and the demand for the type of vehicle with a high-efficiency diesel engine using light oil. However, it also emits a greater amount of PM (particulate matter) and NOx than emissions from vehicles using other types of fuels. Therefore, the DME (Dimethyl Ether), an oxygen containing fuel draws attention as an alternative fuel for light oil that can be used for diesel engines since it generates very little smoke. But to develop and compare performance of an electric controlled common-rail DME engine, engine tests requires optimized injection conditions at required engine RPM and engine torque. These injection conditions cannot be set freely and the data configuration through the experimentally repeated application requires much time as well as a significant amount of errors and effort. The object of this study is to configure the basic injection map using the results of the DME engine experiments performed so far. For this, in this study, the functionalization of the required equations were performed along with the basic review of the factors that had influence on the data map. Through this, the information on the injection pressure, injection amount, injection duration, injection timing, etc. under certain operation condition could be obtained.

본 논문은 커먼레일 디젤엔진의 정속운전시 배출되는 나노크기의 입자상 물질을 분석하는데 초점을 두었다. 디젤산화촉매 후단에서 나노입자상 물질의 개수농도 저감수준은 크지 않았으나 매연여과장치 후단에서 분석한 결과 1,000배 정도 저감되는 결과를 확인하였다. 고속 고부하 조건에서는 매연여과장치의 자연재생 효과로 인해 입자상 물질은 증가하였다. 연료분사시기를 BTDC $6^{\circ}CA$ 에서 ATDC $4^{\circ}CA$까지 지각시킨 결과 입자상 물질의 개수농도는 감소하였지만 최지각 조건인 ATDC $9^{\circ}CA$에서는 증가하는 결과를 확인하였다. EGR 적용시 핵화모드 입자상 물질은 저감되는 경향을 보였으며 축적모든 입자는 증가하였다.

본 논문에서는 노즐홀 직경을 확대하여 유량을 증가시킨 DME 인젝터의 가시화 실험과 분무 해석을 수행하였다. 해석의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위하여 가시화 실험과 분무해석을 비교하였고, 실엔진 모사 조건에서 분무 해석을 수행하여 DME의 거동을 예측하였다. 분사 압력과 분위기 압력이 각각 35MPa 및 5MPa인 경우 가시화 실험과 분무 해석의 도달거리는 3.57%의 차이를 나타내었다. 실엔진 모사 해석의 경우, 완전하게 발달된 DME의 분무 도달거리는 분위기 온도와 압력의 비가 300K/MPa에서 42mm로 최대를 나타내었고, 300K/MPa미만의 영역에서 DME의 분무는 분위기 압력, 300K/MPa초과의 영역에서는 분위기 온도의 영향이 지배적임을 확인하였다.

This study is to investigate the spray behavior of DME-LPG blended fuels in common rail injection system for diesel engines. The visualization experiment was performed to analyze the macroscopic spray behavior of test fuels. In addition, the experiment using BOS(Background Oriented Schlieren) method is performed to compare liquid phase and gas phase. The test fuels are injected in high pressure chamber. The ambient pressure of high pressure chamber was formed by nitrogen gas. Spray tip penetration, spray cone angle and spray area were measured using high speed camera. SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) and spray particle velocity were measured using the PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system to analyze the microscopic properties of test fuels. The results of this experiment showed that spray tip penetration, spray cone angle and spray area of DME-LPG fuels are similar to those of DME fuel. When compared to results of experiment using BOS, significant differences of spray tip penetrations, spray cone angle and spray area are showed because of gas phase. The results of experiment using BOS method showed higher values. SMD of DME-LPG blended fuels is smaller than that of DME fuel. Velocity of DME-LPG blended fuels is faster than that of DME fuel.

Spray characteristics of conventional diesel fuel and bio-diesel fuel(methyl-ester of soybean oil) were compared, in terms of spray tip penetration and spray angle, by using a commercial high pressure common rail injection system for light-duty DI Diesel engines. The experiments were carried out under the non-evaporating condition at ambient density(8.8, $15.6 kg/\textrm{m}^3$) and injection pressure(75, 135 MPa). The experimental method was based on a laser sheet scattering technique. Spray tip penetrations of bio-diesel fuel were longer, on the whole, than those of conventional diesel fuel, except for lower injection pressure(75 MPa) under lower ambient density$(8.8 kg/\textrm{m}^3)$. But spray near angle and spray far angle of bio-diesel fuel were smaller than those of conventional diesel fuel, implying spray angle is related to the growth rate of spray tip penetration. The experimental results of spray tip penetration agreed well with the calculated values by the Wakuri et al.'s correlation based on the momentum theory.

Recently, the interest in the development of high efficiency Diesel engine technology using alternative fuel has been on the rise and related studies are being performed. Therefore, the DME(Dimethyl Ether), an oxygen containing fuel as an alternative fuel for light oil that can be used for diesel engines since it generates very little smoke. But it is unavoidable that the modification of a fuel supply system in an engine to application of the DME fuel because of DME fuel properties. So, in this study, a DME high pressure pump for a common-rail fuel supply system has been composed and the test results of the pump have been presented. As the results of the tests, it is confirmed that DME pump inlet pressure, pump speed and common-rail pressure effects on the volumetric efficiencies of the pump. Finally, it is defined that the optimum plunger volume of a DME pump has to be extended to the minimum 150% compared to a Diesel pump plunger volume considering DME fuel properties and volumetric efficiencies characteristics at same specifications of the high pressure pump.

This paper describes the engine performance and combustion characteristics of a CRDI diesel engine, operated by electronically controlled diesel fuel injector with variable injection timing. This experiment focused on fuel injection timing and pressure about combustion characteristics of CRDI diesel engine. EGR was excepted because it would be furtherly analyzed with additional experiments. The experiment was conducted under the circumstance of engine torque for 4, 8, 12 and 16 kgf-m and fuel injection timing for $15^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$ and $5^{\circ}$ BTDC, at the engine speed of 1100, 1400, 1700 and 2000 rpm. Fuel injection was controlled to retard or advance initiation of the injection event by electronically controlled fuel injection unit injector on the personal computer. When fuel was injected into the cylinders of a CRDI diesel engine it would go through ignition delay before starting of combustion. Therefore, fuel injection timing of CRDI diesel engine had a significant effect upon performance and combustion characteristics. Depending on the injection timing the fuel consumption rate following the rotational speed and torque was 3~78 g/psh (1.7~30.6%). The range of fuel injection timing that resulted in low fuel consumption overall was BTDC 15-10 degrees.
