In this study, in order to understand contents and ranges of design for the EGR Valve test system for improving quality and performance of EGR Valve, engine performance and exhaust gas characteristic of 3L-class diesel engine was analyzed. Experimental operation of engine performance test was performed with 50% engine load and 20% and 100% opening ratio of EGR Valve. From test of performance and exhaust gas characteristic of engine, torque output of engine and temperature and pressure of inlet and outlet of EGR Valve were measured. As a result, for design of EGR Valve test system, input fluid flow of EGR Valve must be set the same amount with exhaust gas flow that was below of engine speed of 2,500 rpm, and temperature of inlet of EGR Valve must be set under about $510^{\circ}C$. And the difference of temperature between inlet and outlet of EGR Valve must be over than about $200^{\circ}C$. Exhaust gas of inlet and outlet of EGR Valve were under 1 bar that was not considerable, and the difference of pressure between inlet and outlet of EGR Valve were under 1 bar that could not effect on mechanical operation of EGR Valve.

최근 디젤엔진에서 엔진성능향상 및 배출가스저감을 위해 저압 EGR시스템에 대하여 연구개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 저압 EGR시스템은 EGR율에 따라 과급압력이 영향을 받지 않기 때문에 PM을 최소 화하면서 $NO_x$를 저감할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2.0L급 고속직분사방식의 엔진에서 출력 및 연비저하로 EGR적용이 어려운 엔진회전수 2000 rpm, BMEP 1.0 MPa, 과급압력 181.3 kPa인 중부하 운전영역에서 서로 다른 EGR시스템에 따른 엔진성능 및 배출가스 특성을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 그 결과로서 기존의 고압 EGR시스템 또는 배압조절밸브를 사용하는 저압 EGR시스템에 비하여 ETC를 적용한 저압 EGR시스템이 $NO_x$ 배출특성은 큰 차이가 없는 반면에, 연비 및 열효율이 향상되고 PM 저감에 연소효과를 나타내고 있음을 확인하였다.

A study has been conducted to develop an aluminum EGR cooler for the LPL EGR system of a diesel engine. Aluminum has a much lower density and thermal conductivity that is about 12 times or more than that of stainless steel, so it is advantageous for use in an EGR cooler for weight reduction and cooling performance effects. A design process has been carried out to ensure heat dissipation performance in a restricted space to investigate the geometric parameters and satisfy the requirements for pressure drops at both fluid sides. The tubes of exhaust gas have been designed as extruded tubes. An aluminum EGR cooler consisting of extruded tubes entails a simpler manufacturing process compared to a stainless steel EGR cooler with conventional heat transfer fins. A prototype has been manufactured from the final model selected through the design process. The performance of the aluminum EGR cooler was evaluated and compared with that of the conventional one. The weight of the aluminum EGR cooler is reduced by 22.9%, while performance is significantly improved.

The effects of intake mixture temperature on performance and exhaust emissions under four kinds of engine loads were experimentally investigated by using a four-cycle four-cylinder, swirl chamber type, water-cooled diesel engine with scrubber EGR system operating at three kinds of engine speeds. The purpose of this study is to develop the scrubber exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) control system for reducing $NO_x$ and soot emissions simultaneously in diesel engines. The EGR system is used to reduce NOx emissions. And a novel diesel soot-removal device with a cylinder-type scrubber which has five water injection nozzles is specially designed and manufactured to reduce soot contents in the recirculated exhaust gas to the intake system of the engine. The influences of cooled EGR and water injection, however, would be included within those of scrubber EGR system. In order to study the effect of intake mixture temperature, a intake mixture heating device which has five heating coils is made of a steel drum. It is found that the specific fuel consumption rate is considerably elevated by the increase of intake mixture temperature, and that NOx emissions are markedly decreased as EGR rates are increased and intake mixture temperature is dropped, while soot emissions are increased with increasing EGR rates and intake mixture temperature.

The direct injection (DI) diesel engine has become a prime candidate for future transportation needs because of its high thermal efficiency. However, nitrogen oxides (NOx) increase in the local high temperature regions and particulate matter (PM) increases in the diffusion flame region within diesel combustion. Therefore, the demand for developing hybrid system consist of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and aftertreatment system as well as diesel particulate filter (DPF) or lean NOx trap (LNT) should be applied. The variation of EGR rate due to the malfunction of EGR valve can affect not only the combustion stability of engine but also the performance of aftertreatment system. In this research, 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine was used to investigate the combustion and emission characteristics for various operating conditions with EGR. While the fuel consumption was increased with increase of EGR rate, NOx emission was improved by maximum 90% at low speed, low load operating condition. To achieve combustion stability and reliability of aftertrearment system with minimum penalty in fuel consumption and emissions, the fault diagnosis of EGR malfunction must be employed.

The EGR is needed for one of various strategies to reduce NOx emission. But to get the proper EGR rate the intake and exhaust system become complicated. That is a reason why we consider using the built0in EGR system. The built-in EGR is a system which reduces Nox by controling the residual gas fraction in cylinder by changing valve timing and valve lift of intake and exhaust. In this paper characteristics of volumetric efficiency and residual gas fraction in cylinder were investigated for various engine speeds by changing valve timing and valve lift of intake and exhaust. In this paper characteristics of volumetric efficiency and residual gas fraction in cylinder were investigated for various engine speeds by changing valve timing and valve lift of intake and exhaust in the 4 stroke-cycle diesel engine. Volumetric efficiency and residual gas fraction were calculated by the method of characteristics. As the results the possibility of suing the built-in EGR system was confirmed.

Understanding the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler fouling in diesel engine is important factor in the durability characteristic of a EGR system. We develope a test rig and PM feeder using carbon black to examine the effect of fouling on EGR cooler devices those were consisted of flat and shell & tube type. The EGR cooler fouling process is a complex interaction involving heat exchanger shape, boundary condition, constitutes, chemistry and operating mode. As the soot deposited to EGR cooler, these formed a thin deposit layer that was less heat exchange than the fresh status of tube enclosing the exhaust gas, resulting in lower heat exchange effectiveness in both type coolers. But these deposits caused different results in pressure drop, it is increased in flat type, but decreased in Shell & tube type of EGR cooler. A cause was estimated from a change of the flow structure and a decrease of contact area as the EGR cooler fouling.

Recently, many small and medium size diesel vehicles have been equipped with turbocharger and EGR system to get high performance and reduce $NO_x$ emissions but its application to heavy-duty diesel engine is not common yet. In this work, the simulation model for EURO-3 engine was developed using WAVE and then its performance and emission level were verified by comparing with experimental results. The possibility of current EURO-3 engine equipped with LPL EGR system which would be satisfied the EURO-5 regulation are examined. ESC 13 mode was chosen as the primary engine test mode, and the injection timing and fuel quantity were changed to compensate the lost engine performance caused by EGR. The system developed in this study shows that the current EURO-3 engine could satisfy EURO-5 $NO_x$ regulation by applying LPL 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.
