As advantages of LPG-DI engine, LPG is directly injected into combustion chamber during compression stroke to reduce compression temperature, prevent knock and spontaneous combustion, and adjust engine output using the amount of directly injected fuel, thereby reducing pumping loss caused by throttle valve. Stratified charge can be supplied nearby spark plugs to allow for overall lean combustion, which improves thermal efficiency and can cope with problems regarding emission regulations. In addition, it is characterized by free designing of intake manifold. Despite the fact that LPG-DI has many advantages as described above, there is lack of detailed investigation and study on spray characteristics, combustion flame characteristics, and ignition probability. In this study, a visualization experiment system that consists of visualization combustion chamber, air supply control system, emission control system, LPG fuel supply system, electronic control system and image data acquisition system was designed and manufactured. For supply of stratified charge in the combustion chamber, alignment of injector and spark plugs was made linear.

A distributed hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) platform is developed for designing an automotive engine control system. The HILS equipment consists of a widely used PC and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) I/O boards instead of a powerful computing system and custom-made I/O boards. The distributed structure of the HILS system supplements the lack of computing power. These features make the HILS equipment more cost-effective and flexible. The HILS uses an automatic code generation extension, REAL-TIME WORKSHOP$^{ (RTW$^{) of MATLAB$^{ tool-chain and RT-LAB$^{, which enables distributed simulation as well as the detection and generation of digital event between simulation time steps. The mean value engine model, which is used in control design phase, is imported into this HILS. The engine model is supplemented with some I/O subsystems and I/O boards to interface actual input and output signals in real-time. The I/O subsystems are designed to imitate real sensor signals with high fidelity as well as to convert the raw data of the I/O boards to the appropriate forms for proper interfaces. A lot of attention is paid to the generation of a precise crank/ earn signal which has the problem of quantization in a conventional fixed time step simulation. The detection of injection! command signal which occurs between simulation time steps are also successfully compensated. In order to prove the feasibility of the proposed environment, a simple PI controller for an air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) control is used. The proposed HILS environment and I/O systems are shown to be an efficient tool to develop various control functions and to validate the software and hardware of the engine control system.

최근 해양 환경에서 국방과 관련한 임무를 수행하는 무인수상정(USV, unmaned surface vehicle)의 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 무인수상정이 해양 환경에서 성공적인 임무를 수행하기 위해서는 선체부, 추진시스템, 조향시스템, 제어시스템, 전원시스템 등을 포함하는 원격/자율 무인수상정 플랫폼이 필수적으로 요구된다. 기존 무인수상정은 기계식 제어 방식을 채택하고 있었지만, 이는 중량 등 여러가지 측면에서의 제약을 가진다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 무인수상정의 플랫폼 장비를 전자적으로 제어하기 위한 시스템을 개발하고, 개발한 시스템을 실험하여 유용성을 검증하는 것에 관한 내용을 다룬다. 이를 위해서 제어 명령에 따라 엔진, 워터젯, 전원 등 플랫폼 장비를 제어하기 위한 주 제어 시스템과 엔진 제어장치, 워터젯 제어장치, 전원 제어장치에 관한 시스템 아키텍처를 설계하고, 각 구성 요소를 개발한다. 또한, 개발한 시스템의 수조 실험 및 검증을 위하여 엔진 및 워터젯의 각 구성 요소를 포함하는 테스트베드를 설계 및 제작하였고, 이를 기반으로 실험을 수행하여 개발한 시스템의 유용성을 검증하였다.

가솔린엔진에서 흡기계를 통하여 배기가스의 일부를 재연소시키는 EGR시스템은 NOx를 저감하기 위하여 양호한 배기배출특성을 나타내지만, 엔진으로 유입되는 배기가스량이 적절하지 않을 경우 불안정한 연소를 일으켜 엔진의 출력이 저하된다. 본 연구에서는 흡기관압력을 바탕으로 다양한 엔진운전조건에 따른 EGR율을 예측하는 방법을 검토하고, 이러한 예측자료를 실험적 방법을 통하여 확인하였다. 그리고 이러한 예측자료를 바탕으로 피드백 EGR제어 알고리즘을 구성한 후, 엔진운전조건에 대한 잔류 가스량을 계산한 데이터와 EGR 피드백 제어실험을 통해 얻어진 데이터를 비교한 결과를 통하여 정성적으로 유사한 결과치를 얻었다. 따라서 적용된 피드백 EGR제어 알고리즘 및 시스템은 실제 전자제어식 EGR기술에 응용될 실현 가능성을 보여주었다.

항공기 엔진은 항공기가 각종 기동을 수행하도록 추력을 발생하는 것 외에 기동 수행을 위해 작동되는 조종면에 공급될 유압계통의 동력과 각종 항전장비 작동을 위한 전기계통의 동력을 공급한다. 엔진으로부터 제공되는 동력은 엔진의 고압압축기로부터 추출되기 때문에 축마력(Horsepower Extraction, HPX)이라하며, 추출되어 제공되는 엔진 축마력이 유압계통과 전기계통에서 요구하는 요구 축마력보다 작게 되면 엔진에 과도한 부하가 걸려 엔진회전수 감소(Rollback) 및 심한 경우 실속(stall)등이 발생할 수 있다. T/A-50체계개발 동안 요구 축마력과 엔진의 공급 축마력에 대한 비교 해석을 수행하였고, 해석 결과 엔진 축마력이 요구 축마력보다 작은 것을 확인하였다. 엔진 축마력 증가를 위한 엔진 제어 스케쥴 변경이 수행되었으며, 변경된 제어 스케쥴이 장착된 엔진을 이용하여 T/A-50비행시험을 수행하였다. 비행시험 결과를 통해 해석 결과 및 변경된 제어 스케쥴의 타당성을 검증하였다.

본 연구는 자동 조향 트랙터용 비례제어밸브의 국산화를 위한 기초연구로써 다양한 트랙터 조향 조건에 따른 조향 비례제어밸브 동특성 계측 및 분석을 위해 수행되었다. 동특성 데이터는 유량 및 압력 계측 시스템을 통해 수집되었으며, 수집된 유량 및 압력 데이터를 이용하여 동력을 분석하였다. 실험 조건은 트랙터 엔진 회전속도와 조향각을 주요 변수로 선정하였으며, 실험은 우레탄 노면 조건에서 수행되었다. 그 결과, 트랙터 엔진 회전속도 및 조향각이 증가함에 따라 비례제어밸브 유량, 압력, 동력이 모두 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 동일한 엔진회전속도에서 조향각이 증가함에 따라, 유량, 압력, 동력은 각각 최대 190%, 172%, 273% 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 동일한 조향각에서 엔진회전속도가 증가함에 따라, 유량, 압력, 동력은 각각 최대 161%, 122%, 168% 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이를 통해, 조향각이 엔진 회전속도보다 비례제어밸브의 동특성에 더 높은 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

The RI gasoline engine haying a sub-chamber had a high cycle variation due to the difficulty of the residual gas scavenge in the sub-chamber. To solve this problem and improve the combustion performance of RI engine, we devised a method to inject directly CNG fuel into the sub-chamber. A DI diesel engine of single cylinder was converted into a RI-CNG engine and an electronic control unit for the engine was manufactured. In this study, the combustion characteristics of the RI-CNG engine were investigated with the injection timings and air excess ratios at the load conditions of 50% throttle open rate and 1700rpm. As the results from this study, the RI-CNG engine worked reliably under the condition of the ignitable lean limit of $\lambda=1.7$ by showing the $COV_{imep}$ below about 5%. And the highest thermal efficiency could be obtained in the injection timing that produced the high imep and the low $COV_{imep}$ at the same time. The CO emission concentration indicated very low values and the THC and $NO_x$ showed an opposite pattern. With a view to improving the thermal efficiency and reducing the harmful emissions, the proper control region of the ignition timing and the mixture ratio were nearly ATDC $20^{\circ}\sim50^{\circ}$ and $\lambda=1.4$ respectively.

In this study, the effects of variation in cam phasing and valve lift of exhaust valves by using Cam-in-Cam system on combustion and emission characteristics for diesel engine were investigated under GT-POWER simulation environment. This paper showed analytic result of combustion characteristics and diesel exhaust valve's control with GT-Power 1-D detail model. As a result, it was found that volumetric efficiency and IMEP were decreased as the exhaust valve opening and closing timing is advanced due to its internal EGR effects. Also, it was found that NOx emission were decreased as EVC timing was retarded. These show that the retarding the exhaust valve closing and opening while keeping the duration at constant can be effective for controlling AFR and mixing rate in diffusion combustion of diesel engine.

An engine cooling system affects overall performances of an engine which has been recently requested higher power in more confined engine room. The design of efficient cooling system demands a great effort to effectively correlate with each components, such as water jacket, radiator, coolant pump, cooling fan, etc. Thus, the aim of this study is to provide the design tool of the cooling system in the early design stage by enabling for the designer to accurately predict the engine cooling performances. This user-friendly design tool has various ways to assemble each components and control the running condition with related database. The present design tool was simulated and compared with experimental data. As a result, the inlet and outlet temperature of the radiator agree very well with experiments. It was concluded that the present design tool could be effectively used for the design of the engine cooling system.

Diesel emission control is being addressed worldwide to help preserve the global environment. This paper mainly deals with the effects of oxidation catalysts to reduce emissions from the automotive heavy-duty diesel engine. Two types of the oxidation catalyst with different kinds of precious material were used. An 11 litter displacement diesel engine with turbocharger was operated to evaluate DOC with various engine speed, load conditions under D-13 mode cycle. We could propose the detail emission data of an automotive heavy-duty diesel engine and the characteristics of the conversion efficiency of the DOC under the D-13 mode. It was found that the mean conversion efficiencies of CO and THC were 49.7% and 61% under the D-13 mode test, respectively.
