Since the 1960's, exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) has been used effectively in spark ignition(SI) engines to control the exhaust emissions of the oxides of nitrogen(NOx). The most important requirements for the application of EGR systems to conventional SI engines are controllable flow rate and good dynamic response. In order to evaluate the characteristics of the electronic EGR valve, a test bench which is consisted of blower, heater, air flow meter and driving unit for electronic EGR valve was set up to simulate engine operating conditions. During the tests, the valve actuation parameters were controlled and the valve lifts and flow rates were measured to infer the characteristics of EGR valve. The results confirmed the capabilities of mathematical analysis and it seems that the correction for the valve lift and potentiometer output is necessary to achieve precise control of EGR rates.

While driving, the low frequency interior noise below 200Hz causes the main component that irritates the auditory acoustic sense. But these passive control methods bring out increment in cost and weight of the vehicle and result in low efficiency. Recently, various ANC(Active Noise Control) methos to suppress the low frequency noise began to launch into application. In this study, we implemented the active noise control system for passenger vehicle to cancel the engine booming noise using DSP-based control unit, 4 micorphones, and 2 speakers. We used MEFX-LMS (Multiple Error Filtered X-Least Mean Square) algorithm since it can be easily implemented in real time. Also, MEFX-RLS algorithm was taken to enhance the suppression of the harmonic components of the engine booming noise inspite of its computational complexity. The performance of two adaptive algorithms were analyzed with experimental resutls.

Currently under development is an airborne auxiliary power unit with 100 Kw equivalent power, which is composed of a centrifugal compressor, a reverse annular combustor, and a radial turbine. Air-foil bearings are used in this power unit to eliminate the oil supplying system, which can reduce the system complexity and weight. The high speed generator is adopted as an electric power generation and engine starting system, which can also eliminate the reduction gear system. Not only electric power but also pneumatic power is provided by bleeding the compressed air This power unit is aimed for the multi-purpose use such as a primary power unit In the army weapon system, an auxiliary power and environmental control unit in a next-generation tank, and a smoke generating unit.

Recently it has been focused that the automobile engine has developed in a strong upward tendency for the use of the high viscosity and poorer quality fuels in achieving the high performance, fuel economy, and emission reduction. Therefore it is not easy to solve the problems between low specific fuel consumption and exhaust emission control at motor cars. In this study, it is designed and used the engine test bed which is installed with turbocharger and intercooler. In addition to equipped using CRDI by controlling injection timing with mapping modulator, it has been tested and analyzed the engine performance, combustion characteristics, and exhaust emission as operating parameters, and they were engine speeds(rpm), injection timing(bTDC), and engine load(%). From the result of an experimental analysis, peak cylinder pressure and the rate of pressure rise were increased, and the location of it was closer toward top dead center according to the increasing of engine speed and load, and with advancing injection timing. The combustion characteristics are effected by fuel injection timing due to be enhanced the mass burned fraction. Using the engine dynamometer for analyzing the engine performance, the engine torque and power have been enhanced according to advancing the fuel injection timing. In analyzing of exhaust emission, there has been a trade-off between PM and NOx with increasing of engine speed and load, and with advanced injection timing. The experimental data are shown that the formation of NOx has increased and PM, vice versa.

Purpose: A simulator for the design and performance evaluation of a tractor with a hydro-mechanical transmission (HMT) was developed. Methods: The HMT consists of a hydro-static unit (HSU), a swash plate control system, and a planetary gear. It was modeled considering the input/output relationship of the torque and speed, and efficiency of HSU. Furthermore, a dynamic model of a tractor was developed considering the traction force, running resistance, and PTO (power take off) output power, and a tractor performance simulator was developed in the co-simulation environment of AMESim and MATLAB/Simulink. Results: The behaviors of the design parameters of the HMT tractor in the working and driving modes were investigated as follows; For the stepwise change of the drawbar load in the working mode, the tractor and engine speeds were maintained at the desired values by the engine torque and HSU stroke control. In the driving mode, the tractor followed the desired speed through the control of the engine torque and HSU stroke. In this case, the engine operated near the OOL (optimal operating line) for the minimum fuel consumption within the shift range of HMT. Conclusions: A simulator for the HMT tractor was developed. The simulations were conducted under two operation conditions. It was found that the tractor speed and the engine speed are maintained at the desired values through the control of the engine torque and the HSU stroke.

Many technologies have been developed to improve diesel emissions or performance, however NOx/PM trade-off occurs because normal methods that reduce NOx emissions tend to increase PM emissions. On the other hand many measures used to control PM emissions tend to increase NOx emissions. Thus, simultaneously controlling both NOx and PM emissions has become a significant challenge for diesel engine manufacturers. As one of the measures, the technology using emulsified fuel has recently become important under the stringent emission regulations of diesel engines. This paper investigates injection characteristics of emulsified fuel and its effect on a combustion performance in a diesel engine. In order to supply emulsified fuel into injection system a mixing unit produced by Harrier is used, then the fuel mixed with water is supplied into injector directly. The spray injected is investigated with a shadowgraph photo system and injection analyzing apparatus, then applied into a diesel engine. Those results showed that the emulsified fuel has an effect on reducing both NOx and PM.

본 논문은 주행거리 연장형 전기자동차에서 발전량을 결정하는 차량 제어기와 이를 수행하는 엔진 제어기 간 토크 명령을 전달하기 위한 새로운 통신방법을 설명한 것이다. 일반적으로 자동차는 CAN 통신방식을 사용하지만, 이 경우 기존 엔진 제어기의 하드웨어 및 소프프웨어를 수정해야만 한다. 이러한 이유로 중소 자동차 개조업체는 발전용 엔진이 탑재된 주행거리 연장형 전기자동차에 대한 개발 및 개조 작업 시 CAN통신방식의 적용이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 연구과정에서는 기존의 양산용 엔진 제어기를 주행거리 연장형 전기자동차에 적용하기 위한 핀-핀 통신방안를 제시하였다. 핀-핀 통신방안은 기존 양산용 엔진 제어기내에 탑재된 운전자요구토크 제어 맵을 엔진의 목표속도와 목표토크에 따른 가상 엑셀 열림량으로 변환하는 과정과 이를 기존 양산 엔진제어기가 인식 할 수 있도록 해당 엑셀페달 전압신호로 변환하는 과정으로 구성된다. 가상 엑셀 열림량은 오프라인 환경에서 역 변환 과정을 통하여 차량 최상위제어기에 제어 맵 형태로 탑재되고, 엔진 발전요구량과 엔진 최적 운전점 알고리즘을 통하여 결정된다. 이렇게 결정된 가상엑셀 열림량은 DA신호 변환기를 통하여 기존 엔진제어기가 인식할 수 있는 전압신호로 최종적으로 변환된다. 엔진토크 전달을 위한 이러한 알고리즘과 신호변환 회로는 차량제어기(VCU)에 탑재되어 엔진목표토크에 따른 가상엑셀페달 열림량 변환과정과 신호변환기를 이용한 가상 엑셀페달 전압신호에 대한 통신시험을 실시하여 이러한 통신방식의 실현 가능성을 입증하였다.
