CNG dual fuel engine for heavy duty diesel engine has been equipped to a Korean bus engine and tested to compare th engine performance and the emission characteristics with the existing diesel fueled engine. The results are summarized as follows. Diesel fueled engine has the fuel injection timing of BTDC17°. The injection timing of CNG modified engine is retarded to BTDC14° for reduction of NOx. Performance optimization has been carried out to have engine power equivalent to or better than the diesel fueled engine. Smoke is decreased by 85% by Korean smoke 3 mode test. By 6 mode test CO is increased by 313% and THC is increased by 1407%. NOx is decreased by 27%. Even though THC is increased very much, it's not too serious problem since CO and THC emission of diesel engine are very little compared to gasoline engine and THC don't give bad effect on human health. But the reduction technologies of CO and THC need to be considered.

Performance and emissions with different diesel injection methods were analyzed in a natural gas-diesel, dual-fuel engine under low-load conditions. Natural gas was supplied to intake port during the intake stoke to form a natural gas-air premixed mixture for all methods. Diesel was injected directly into the cylinder during the compression stroke in three ways: early injections, late injections, and a combination of early and late injections. The early injections had the highest thermal efficiency among the three methods owing to its highest combustion efficiency. The wide dispersion of diesel before the combustion initiation also allowed superior emissions characteristics.

2012년 7월부터 우리나라 천연가스 열량에 대한 기준이 기존의 표준열량제에서 열량범위제로 변경되면서 가정이나 산업체로 공급되는 가스 열량 변화가 가스기기 성능에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하는 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 특히 천연가스를 주 연료로 사용하는 열병합 발전용 엔진의 경우 이러한 열량 변화에 의해 엔진 성능 전반에 걸쳐 영향이 있을 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 열량범위제를 고려한 CNG 열량 변화가 디젤-CNG 혼소엔진의 효율 및 연소특성에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. CNG 모사 연료의 발열량은 $10,400kcal/Nm^3$에서 $9,400kcal/Nm^3$까지 질소 가스를 CNG에 희석하는 방식으로 변경을 하였다. 우선 디젤연료의 분사시기와 혼소율을 80%로 고정한 조건에서 가스연료의 발열량 변화가 엔진 효율 및 출력 변화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았으며, 열방출율 및 연소압력 등의 변화를 측정하였다. 실험 결과로부터 가스 열량이 낮아질수록 엔진 출력과 효율이 모두 감소함을 알 수 있었으며, 점화지연시간과 연소기간은 가스 열량 감소에 관계없이 일정하게 유지되는 반면 최대연소압력은 낮아짐을 볼 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study os to investigate how the natural gas in fuel blend influences the polutant emission of diesel engine. Four stroke cycle single cylinder engine is used for this experiment and four kind of fuel blends were made. Fuel blends show four different torque ratios between diesel oil and natural gas, which are 4 : 0. 3 : 1, 2 : 2 and 1 : 3. The constituents of exhaust gases of engine are analyzed for every fuel blend. The experimental results say that the mixing of natural gas into diesel fuel is an very effective way to reduce the amount of soot in the exhaust gas.

The ignition delay of a dual fuel system has been numerically investigated by adopting a constant volume chamber as a model problem simulating diesel engine relevant conditions. A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism, consisting of 28 species and 135 elementary reactions, of dimethyl ether (DME) with methane ($CH_{4}$) sub-mechanism has been used in conjunction with the multi-dimensional reactive flow KIVA-3V code to simulate the autoignition process. The start of ignition was defined as the moment when the maximum temperature in the combustion vessel reached to 1900 K with which a best agreement with existing experiment was achieved. Ignition delays of liquid DME injected into air at various high pressures and temperatures compared well with the existing experimental results in a combustion bomb. When a small quantity of liquid DME was injected into premixtures of $CH_{4}$/air, the ignition delay times of the dual fuel system are longer than that observed with DME only, especially at higher initial temperatures. The variation in the ignition delay between DME only and dual fuel case tend to be constant for lower initial temperatures. It was also found that the predicted values of the ignition delay in dual fuel operation are dependent on the concentration of the gaseous $CH_{4}$ in the chamber charge and less dependent on the injected mass of DME. Temperature and equivalence ratio contours of the combustion process showed that the ignition commonly starts in the boundary at which near stoichiometric mixtures could exists. Parametric studies are also conducted to show the effect of additive such as hydrogen peroxide in the ignition delay. Apart from accurate predictions of ignition delay, the coupling between multi-dimensional flow and multi-step chemistry is essential to reveal detailed features of the ignition process.

The use of gas as fuel, particularly liquefied natural gas (LNG), has increased in recent years owing to its lower sulfur and particulate emissions compared to fuel oil or marine diesel oil. LNG is a low temperature, volatile fuel with very low flash point. The major challenges of using LNG are related to fuel bunkering, storing, and handling during ship operation. The main components of an LNG fuel system are the bunkering equipment, fuel tanks, vaporizers/heaters, pressure build-up units (PBUs), and gas controlling units. Low-pressure dual-fuel (DF) engines are predominant in small LNG-powered vessels and have been operating in many small- and medium-sized ferries or LNG-fueled generators.(Tamura, K., 2010; Esoy, V., 2011[1][2]) Small ships sailing at coast or offshore rarely have continuous operation at constant engine load in contrast to large ships sailing in the ocean. This is because ship operators need to change the engine load frequently due to various obstacles and narrow channels. Therefore, controlling the overall system performance of a gas supply system during transient operations and decision of bunkering time under a very poor infrastructure condition is crucial. In this study, we analyzed the fuel consumption, the system stability, and the dynamic characteristics in supplying fuel gas for operating conditions with frequent engine load changes using a commercial analysis program. For the model ship, we selected the 'Econuri', Asia's first LNG-powered vessel, which is now in operation at Incheon Port of South Korea.

본 연구에서는 1.5MW급의 발전용 디젤 엔진을 대상으로 상용 프로그램인 GT-Power를 이용하여 천연가스와 디젤 혼합연소 엔진 모델을 구축하였으며 이를 통해 기존의 디젤 연소를 하는 경우와 천연가스-디젤 혼합연소를 하는 경우의 엔진 성능 변화를 부하율(50%, 75%, 100%)에 따라 비교하였다. 또한 도서지역에서 실제로 사용되고 있는 부생유를 적용하는 경우의 영향에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 그 결과 엔진의 운전 조건 변화 없이 천연가스를 디젤과 60% 혼합비로 연소하는 경우 최대 32%의 BSFC 증가를 보였으며 천연가스와 부생유를 혼합연소 하는 경우에도 디젤을 혼합 연소하는 경우와 크게 다르지 않은 결과를 보였다. 이러한 BSFC 증가의 원인을 연료의 불완전 연소율 증가로 제시하고 이에 대한 최적화를 진행했으며 그 결과 60% 혼소율 조건에서 약 2%의 개선효과를 보였다.

In a liquid-fueled ramjet engine, the insufficient mixing and evaporation result in the low combustion efficiency and combustion instability. Improving its characteristics and devising a means of fuel droplets with air may compensate these disadvantages of liquid fuel ramjet engine. The jet penetrations of various fuel injectors were measured to investigate the spray characteristics of a liquid-fueled ramjet engine under high pressure air-stream conditions. The penetrations in high pressure conditions are smaller than the values calculated from Inamura's or Lee's equations, and the jet penetrations in the high pressure conditions have a similar tendency. In the dual orifice injectors, the jet penetrations of rare orifice is rapidly increased due to the reduction of the drag, which is created by the jet column of front orifice. The jet penetration of rare orifice is increased because of the drag reduction created by the jet column of the front orifice. Because of the drag reduction formed by the column of jet, the jet penetration in the rear orifice of dual orifice injector is much larger than the jet penetrations of single orifice injector. As the distances of the orifice are increased, the jet penetrations of the rear orifice decrease.
