A waste heat recovery system for an internal combustion engine for agriculture was developed. The system is for recovering both of exhaust heat and cooling heat of an engine and is so simple in its structure that can be used in rural area easily. A series of experiment was carried out to the experiment which will be discussed later on, collect data for the performance of the system at various operating conditions of the system and an engine and to determine a range of coolant temperature in which performance of an engine is not affected by the heat recovery system incorporated. The obtained experimental data is not only useful to materialize performance of the system at the experimental conditions but also to construct a mathematical model of the system to predict the system variables beyond the scope of

The Present work focuses on application of Organic Rankine Cycle - Waste heat Recovery System (ORC-WHRS) for marine diesel engine. ORC and its combined cycle with the engine were simulated and its performance was estimated theoretically under the various engine operation conditions and cooling water conditions. The working fluid, R245fa, was selected for the consideration of the heat source temperature, system efficiency and safety issues. According to the thermodynamic analysis, ~13.1% of system efficiency of the cycle was performed and it is about 4% of the mechanical power output of the considering Marine Diesel Engine. Also, addition of evaporator and pre-heater were studied to maximize output power of Organic Rankine Cycle as a waste heat recovery system of the marine diesel engine.

A mathematical model for the waste heat recovery system for an engine was developed. The model based on the experimental data reported before was validated and was used to predict the waste heat recovery and recoverable heat of the engine at various operating conditions of the engine and the system. The model was also used to determine flow rates of the circulating water in the system for a certain temperature increment of the water at various operating conditions of the engine to give basic data to design the system. Stability of the system performance was tested on subjects of vapor lock problem, thermal characteristics of the thermostatic valve, and temperature variation of the circulating water in the engine and fuel consumption of the engine during each mode of the system operation and its change into the other. The test showed that the system operation was stable enough. Temperature profile in the thermal energy storage (TES) was observed during storing thermal energy, and thermal stratification in the TES was well formed acceptable to be used in the system. Finally a scheme to automatize the system was suggested.

A 2-loop waste heat recovery system with Rankine steam cycles for the improvement of fuel efficiency of gasoline vehicles has been investigated. A high temperature loop(HT loop) is a system to recover the waste heat from the exhaust gas, a low temperature loop(LT loop) is for heat recovery from the engine coolant cold relatively. This paper has dealt with a layout of a LT loop system, the review of the working fluids, and the design of the cycle. The design point and the target heat recovery of the LT boiler, a core part of a LT loop, has been presented and analytically investigated. Considering the characteristics of the cycle, the basic concept of the LT boiler has been determined as a shell-and tube type counterflow heat exchanger, the performance characteristics for various design parameters were investigated.

최근 엔진 효율 향상을 위하여 열전 소자를 이용한 자동차 엔진 폐열 회수 기술이 주목 받고 있다. 열전소자 해석 모델링은 많이 개발 되었으나, 특정한 시스템 해석 모델과 함께 적용된 사례는 찾아보기 어렵다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 열전소자를 이용하여 디젤 엔진의 배기 폐열 에너지 회수율을 평가할 수 있는 해석 모델을 1-D 상용 프로그램인 AMESim을 이용하여 개발하였다. 개발한 열전소자 해석 모델은 다양한 소자 종류에 따른 열전 발전 효율 및 폐열 회수율 평가가 가능한 모델이며, 디젤 엔진 해석 모델은 현재 상용화된 모든 디젤 엔진을 모사할 수 있는 모델이다. 여러 운전 조건에서 디젤 엔진의 폐열로부터 하나의 열전소자를 사용하여 회수 가능한 에너지는 약 544.75W이고, 전기로 변환될 수 있는 동력은 약 40.4W이었다. 본 연구에서 개발한 해석 모델은 같은 해석 프로그램에서 연동하여 해석을 용이하게 수행할 수 있기에 추후 열전소자를 이용한 디젤 엔진의 배기 폐열 회수 시스템 개발 시 회수율을 예상하고 시스템 최적화를 수행할 수 있는 방법을 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

Cold start driving cycles exhibit an increases in friction losses due to the low temperatures of metal components and media compared to the normal operating engine conditions. These friction losses are adversely affected to fuel economy. Therefore, in recent years, various techniques for the improvement of fuel economy at cold start driving cycles have been introduced. The main techniques are the upward control of coolant temperature and the fast warm-up techniques. In particular, the fast warm-up techniques are implemented with the coolant flow-controlled water pump and the WHRS (waste heat recovery system). This paper deals with an effect of fast ATF (automatic transmission fluid) warm-up on fuel economy using a recovery system of EGR gas waste heat in a diesel engine. On a conventional diesel engine, two ATF coolers have been connected in series, i.e., an air-cooled ATF cooler is placed in front of the condenser of air conditioning system and a water-cooled one is embedded into the radiator header. However, the new system consists of only a water-cooled heat exchanger that has been changed into the integrated structure with an EGR cooler to have the engine coolant directly from the EGR cooler. The ATF cooler becomes the ATF warmer and cooler, i.e., it plays a role of an ATF warmer if the temperature of ATF is lower than that of coolant, and plays a role of an ATF cooler otherwise. Chassis dynamometer experiments demonstrated the fuel economy improvement of over 2.5% with rapid increase in the ATF temperature.

About 70% of energy input to internal combustion engine is rejected to atmosphere by heat. By utilizing this waste heat, a plenty of energy can be conserved in nationwide. One of possible ways is the thermoelectric generation to utilize engine's waste heat to provide auxiliary electric power. Under th is concept, we have been developing the thermoelectric generation system to replace the alternator by converting the waste heat in the engine's exhaust directly to electricity This system may reduce the shaft horse power of the engine, then improves the vehicle fuel economy and the exhaust emissions. In the present study, the characteristics of the electric energy and exhaust heal energy in city and highway mode driving conditions are analysed by using a gasoline passenger car. These results would be used to determine the optimum design parameters of the thermoelectric generation system.

The effect of exhaust heat recovery system can be evaluated by two well known method. First method is to measure the time duration from engine start under cold coolant temperature till coolant get warmed. By this methodology coolant warming duration can be index of warm-up effect. Second method is to analyze heat balance of the engine during warm-up phase under steady engine operation so that wasted energy by losses such as cooling and exhaust can be index of warm-up effect. This study focused on evaluation of warming-up effect by both methodology above mentioned using 2L SI engine under from idle to 2000rpm steady condition. Results, idle operation showed low heat recovery efficiency but under higher engine speed condition, remarkable heat recovery efficiency improvement was observed. In 2000rpm steady condition, warm-up duration of engine is decreased by exhaust heat recovery system.

In recent, there are tremendous efforts to apply co-generation concept in automobile to improve its thermal efficiency. The co-generation is basically a simple Rankine Cycle that uses the waste heat from the engine exhaust and coolant for heat source. In spite of developed nano technology and advance material science, the bulky co-generation system is still a big concern in automotive application. Therefore, the system should be effectively designed not to add much weight on the vehicle, but the capacity of the waste heat recovery should be still large. With such a goal in mind, the system thermal efficiency was investigated in terms of the system operation condition and working fluid. This paper provides a direction for the optimal design of the automotive co-generation system.

본 연구에서는 가솔린 엔진 자동차에서 엔진 폐열 회수를 위한 이중 회로 랭킨 사이클 성능 해석이 수행되었다. 고온(HT)의 엔진 배기가스 열회수를 위해서는 물을 사용하는 스팀사이클이 적용되었고, 엔진 냉각수열과 고온 사이클로부터의 응축열을 활용하는 저온(LT) 사이클은 R-134a를 사용하는 유기랭킨사이클이 적용되었다. 고온 및 저온 열원을 동시에 활용하는 이중 회로 시스템의 특성을 파악하기 위해 에너지 및 엑서지 분석이 수행되었다. 고온 및 저온 사이클에 사용되는 용적형 팽창기의 체적이 차량적용을 위한 시스템 최적화에 매우 중요하며 시스템 최적화를 위해서는 반드시 고려되어야 한다. 목표로 하는 엔진 운전 조건에서 고온(HT) 팽창기와 저온(LT) 팽창기의 체적을 고려하면서 고온(HT) 사이클의 팽창비와 저온(LT) 사이클의 응축온도가 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이중 회로 랭킨 사이클 시스템에 의해 목표 엔진 운전조건에서 엔진 폐열로부터 약 21%의 추가 동력을 얻을 수 있는 것으로 예측되었다.
