Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is more effective than selective catalytic reduction (SCR) or lean $NO_x$ trap (LNT) for the reduction of $NO_x$ emissions in diesel engines. A large amount of EGR gas is necessary to satisfy the stringent regulations on $NO_x$ emissions. Low pressure loop (LPL) EGR is almost independent of the variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) at a specific boost pressure, so LPL EGR is better than conventional high pressure loop (HPL) EGR in terms of EGR supply. We compare the influence of HPL EGR and LPL EGR on the combustion characteristics at a constant boost pressure in a diesel engine. The dilution ratio was employed as an independent parameter to analyze the effect of the dilution of the intake charge for each EGR loop. At the same level of $NO_x$ emissions, the fuel consumption and smoke opacity were slightly lower for LPL EGR than for HPL EGR.

Mild combustion or Flameless oxidation(FLOX) have been considered as one of the most prospective clean-combustion technologies to meet both the targets of high process efficiency and low pollutant emissions. A mild combustor with high air preheating and strong internal exhaust gas recirculation is characterized by relatively low flame temperature, low NOx emissions, no visible flame and no sound. In this study, the Steady Flamelet Approach has been applied to numerically analyze the combustion processes and NOx formation in the mild combustor. The detailed discussion has been made for the basic characteristics of mild combustor, numerical results and limitation of the present combustion modeling.

기관의 흡기에 배기의 일부를 혼입하는 배기재순환 (Exhaust Gas Recirculation, 약해서 EGR)은 배기중의 NOx 농도를 저하시키는 효과가 있기 때문에 자동차용 기관의 배기정화를 위한 유효한 수단의 하나로 생각된다. 배기가스의 공해성분인 CO, HC NOx 중에서 CO, HC는 실용적인 처 리방법이 각각 여러종류 개발되어 있지만 NOx를 기관으로부터 배출한 후의 단계에서 처리하는 실용적인 방법은 매우 어렵다, 따라서 이와 같은 단계에 있어서는 EGR를 유효하게 이용하는 것이 NOx 저감대책의 지름길이라 할 수 있다. 그러나 EGR를 시행하는 경우, 신기의 흡입량은 EGR에 의하여 제한을 받아 감소하므로 신기의 감소분만큼 출력이 저하하는 것을 막을 도리는 없다. 따라서 장래 대부분의 자동차용기관이 EGR시스템을 정착하게 되면 동력성능을 저하시 키지 않기 위하여 EGR에 상당하는 실린더용적의 증가를 하거나, 어떠한 대책이 필요할 것이다. 그러므로 저자는 장래 EGR시스템을 장착하게될 경우를 고려하는 기관에 EGR을 시해하는 경우, 기관사이클, 연소 및 배기성분 운전 Paramater와 EGR의 관계등에 대하여 기술하고저 한다.

EGR is well established and efficient means to reduce NOx emissions. The increase of EGR rate affects the ignition delay of the combustion due to the lower oxygen availability. The increasing of the ignition delay period causes large combustion noise. In this study, the effects of EGR and Induction Point on combustion noise are investigated by measuring cylinder pressure and noise. As a result, The Combustion noise is markedly increased under the application of EGR. The increased premixed distance by displacing EGR Induction point in flow direction causes the uniform EGR distribution and the modulation level of the combustion noise is reduced slightly.

Low temperature combustion regime for the simultaneous reduction of nitrogen oxides ($NO_x$) and paticulate matter (PM) is demonstrated in single cylinder engine at various operating parameters, such as EGR rate, injection timing, EGR temperature, amount of fuel and swirl rate. Low temperature combustion is accomplished by high exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate in this study. Generally, the emission of $NO_x$ almost completely disappears and PM significantly increases in the first decreasing regime of oxygen concentration but after peaking about 10~12% oxygen concentration, PM then decreases regardless of fuel injection quantity. Low temperature combustion regime was extended by low EGR temperature, high injection pressure and low amount of fuel.

For the compactness of regenerative combustion, self regenerative combustion and embedding regenerator inside furnace are proposed. The Self Regenerative burner system was developed to enhance thermal efficiency and Low Nox emission. In the twin regenerative system, two burner heads are generally used for preheating and exhausting combustion mode. But self regenerative burner system use only single nozzle body for regenerative combustion. Also two kind of regenerator, internal and external type, were designed to operate conveniently in both large and small furnace. According to test result, the self regenerative combustion system gives strong internal exhaust gas recirculation that reduce NOx emission significantly. NOx was measured as 50ppm(5% O2, 1290C furnace temperature). Also it is found that the fuel saving rate due to the self regenerative burner system reach to 30-40%. Thus it can be concluded that self regenerative mild combustion system appears to provide a reasonable regenerative burner for compactness and high performance as compared with conventional twin regenerative burner system. Also in the RT Application , compact twin regenerative burner was developed with the help of embedding regenerator inside furnace.

The effects of exhaust gas recirculation (ECR) on smoke emissions in heavy duty diesel engine are numerically studied by using KIVA-3V CFD code. For the analysis, RNG k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model was given as a governing equation, and mathematical models of Tab, Wave, Watkins-Park, Nagle-Strikland were applied to describe physical process of droplet breakup, atomization, wall impingement and smoke respectively.

지구 환경오염문제가 대두되면서 세계 각국에서는 환경오염을 최소화하려는 움직임이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 국제해사기구(IMO)에서는 해양 대기오염의 상당량이 선박에서 배출되는 배기가스에 의한 것으로 판단하고 있으며, 이에 따라 선진국을 중심으로 선박관련 환경규제 및 선박 배기가스 배출기준을 점차적으로 강화해 가고 있고, 친환경 선박 및 기자재 개발을 적극적으로 진행하고 있다. 현재 선박에 적용 가능한 NOx 제거장치로는 ECR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation), SCR(Selective, Catalytic Reduction), SAM(Scavenge Air Moistening) 등이 개발되었으며, 연소온도 조절 및 촉매 환원반응 등을 이용하여 NOx를 제거하고 있다. 현재 개발된 탈질설비 중 현실적으로 가장 적합한 것은 SCR시스템으로 인식되고 있으나, 연료효율 감소로 인하여 가스연료를 이용하거나 새로운 연료개발 등 사용연료에 변화를 주는 방법들이 미래의 대안으로 제시되고 있다.

Recently, electronic engine control system is used in many automotives for high efficiency and low pollution. In order to perform these requirements, fuel injection control, spark timing control, knock control, exhaust gas recirculation control and idle speed control should be implemented. In this paper, idle speed control system using microcontroller is developed, which is compact in hardware, but powerful in software performing efficient control and various compensations for engine condition and environments. If idle speed is low engine operation is not smooth, reversely if high, fuel consumption is increased. Therefore idle speed must be maintained as low as possible within the scope that ensures smooth operation of engine. Also, an engine signal simulator, which generates various signals from engine, is realized for test facility.

내연기관의 성능은 실린더에서 연료의 화학에너지가 열에너지로 얼마만큼 빠르고 완전하게 변화하느냐에 좌우된다. 이를 위해서는 실린더 내에서 뜨거운 압축공기와 연료의 혼합 및 증기화가 요구된다. 엔진의 출력은 매 사이클당 흡입.압축할 수 있는 공기량에 좌우되므로 연소의 해석을 위해서는 실린더 내의 공기유동, 연료의 분무 및 연소과정을 이해 해야한다. 배기와 엔진효율의 요구성때문에 희박 혼합기 또는 EGR (exhaust gas recirculation)이 필요하게 된다. 그러나 희석이 크면 낮은 연소온도, 낮은 층류흐름속도와 화염전면의 낮은 난류강도 때문에 연소기간이 증대하게 된다. 실제로 희박의 증가는 실화 또는 긴 연소 지연기간, 사이클 마다의 연소맥동현상, HC배기의 증가등을 초래하게 된다. 이러한 저온연소의 단점들은 연소상태를 안정시키고 연소량을 증대시키는 공기의 유동을 이용해서 해결 될 수 있다. 최근에는 선회류와 난류의 강도를 증가시켜서 빠른연소(fast burning)를 이루고 있다. 선회류와 난류의 강도를 증대시키는 가장 중요한 2가지 방법은 흡입포트(port), 매니홀드(manifold)설계이다.
