Using the CNG(compressed natural gas) and LPG(liquified petroleum gas) as the automotive fuel will be expanded because of their clean effect to the environmental air qualify. But these programs of gas using expansion would have a difficulty due to public consideration of gas utilities as a big hazard. The Ministry of Environment has an ambitious plan to substitute more than 25,000 buses with CNG and ensure more than 200 CNG refueling stations as well by the year of 2007. However, it is very difficult to establish new CNG and LPG refueling stations because of expanded safety distance than ever before by several major explosion accidents.

The bus using compressed natural gas(CNG) trend to be extended in use internationally as optimal counter-plan for reducing discharge gas of light oil due to high concern about environment. But, Composit pressure vessels(CPV) to be equipped with CNG bus is always involved in the point that safety accidents happen due to having compressed natural gas. In this report, we analysis the cause of CPV bursting accident by reviewing design and manufacture factor and suggest preventive measure through this case.

Air partial pressure ratio and inlet air mass flow are influenced by water vapor and gaseous fuel in mixture on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engines. In this paper, the effects of the water vapor and the gaseous fuel that change the air mass flow and the air-fuel ratio are studied. Effective air mass ratio is defined as the air mass flow divided by mixture mass flow, and also it is applied to the estimation of the inlet air mass flow and the air-fuel ratio. The presence of the gaseous fuel and the water vapor in the mixture reduces the air partial pressure and the effective air mass ratio of the CNG engines. The experimental results for the CNG engine show that estimation of the air-fuel ratio based upon the effective air mass ratio is more accurate than that of a normal mode.

Compressed natural gas has good potential for alternative vehicle fuel due to its economical and clean characteristics. However, the composition of natural gas based on production location is known to affect performance and emissions of CNG engine. Thus, the objective of this paper is to clarify the effect of fuel composition on combustion and emissions of CNG engine. This paper presents combustion characteristics obtained from running a 2.5L, 4-cylinder CNG engine retrofitted IDI diesel engine with engine dynamometer. BSFC, emissions, fuel consumption and combustion pressure were measured under steady state operating conditions especially at partial load for CNG engine. Based on the experimental results, we found that CNG composition affects engine performance, fuel conversion efficiency and burning rate.

합성가스(SNG)는 석탄 가스화를 통하여 얻어지는 가스연료로서, 고유가로 인한 천연가스가격 상승을 대비할 수 있는 대체연료 중의 하나로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 메탄 90.95%, 프로판 6.05%와 수소 3%의 조성비를 갖는 SNG연료 모사가스와 압축천연가스 (CNG)를 11리터 급 CNG 엔진에 적용하여 연소 및 배기 특성을 비교실험 하였다. 연료공급시스템, 분사시기 등 엔진의 연소제어인자를 일정하게 하고 전부하 운전조건에서 엔진회전수 변화에 따른 출력, 열효율, 연소 안정성 및 배기특성을 비교하였다. 1260rpm, 전부하 운전조건에서 노킹특성도 분석하였다. SNG 연료를 사용했을 때 출력 저하 없이 연소안정성이 향상되어 열효율이 증가하였다. 질소산화물($NO_x$)의 배출은 CNG연료의 경우에 비해 증가되었으나 이산화탄소($CO_2$)의 배출은 감소하였다. SNG 연료를 이용하여 운전할 경우 내노킹성이 향상되었다.

Natural gas is considered to be a promising alternative fuel for passenger cars, truck transportation and stationary engines providing positive effects both on the environment and energy security. However, since the composition of natural gas fuel varies with location, climate and other factors, it is anticipated that such changes in fuel properties will affect emission characteristics and performance of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) engines. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effects of the difference in gas composition on the engine performance and emission characteristics. The results show that THC (Total Hydrocarbon) decreases with increasing Wl (Wobbe Index) and MCP (Maximum Combustion Potential). On the other hand, it is observed that NOx slightly increases as Wl and MCP increase. The TLHV (Total Lower Heating Value of Intake) is proposed in this study as a potential index for compatibility of gas fuels in a CNG engine. There is a variation in power up to 20% depending on the composition of gas when the A/F ratio and spark timing are flexed for a specific gas fuel.

천연가스는 가솔린에 비하여 에너지 밀도가 매우 낮아 천연가스 차량의 경우 약 24.8 MPa로 압축된 압축천연가스(CNG)를 이용하기 때문에 고압을 얻기 위하여 다단계 압축이 요구될 뿐 아니라 안정성에 문제가 많다. 이런 이유로 비교적 낮은 압력에서 저장할 수 있는 흡착천연가스에 관심을 갖게 되었다. 천연가스의 저장에 용이한 매질을 개발하여 3.5 MPa에서 CNG와 에너지 밀도가 유사하고, 같은 용적의 가솔린에 비하여 1/4 수준의 운전거리를 확보하는 것이 현재의 목표이다. 본 총설에서는 흡착천연가스(ANG) 저장을 위한 탄소매질의 개발현황, 매질의 특성 및 실용화를 위하여 진행되고 있는 내용을 간략하게 소개하고 몇 가지 필요한 제언을 한다.

Natural gas is considered to be on e of the most promising candidates for a clean substitute fuel and a great amount of research on the compressed natural gas(CNG) fueled vehicle has been performed. In this s tudy, we try to understand the property of CNG fuel with using CNG engine experiment. In order to present the direction and application of CNG, we experiment with various operating conditions that is, spark timing, A/F ratio, air quantity and fuel quantity, etc. 11,967 cc engine was used in the experiment and the engine fuel ratio was determined in the way that the performance of dedicated CNG engine is corresponded to that of existing diesel engine. The performance and dedicated CNG engine were measured by changing the fuel injection timing. The dedicated CNG engine was proved to be good in describing the experimental results and according to the actual road test, acceleration and constant speed driving for dedicated CNG engine was better than existing diesel engine.
