Evaporative emissions from gasoline powered vehicles continue to be a major concern. The performance of carbon canister in evaporative emission control systems has become an important aspect of overall fuel system development and design. A vehicle's evaporative emission control system is continuously working, even when the vehicle is not running, due to generation of vapors from the fuel tank during ambient temperature variations. In this study, the effects of evaporative emissions on the engine performance were investigated. The experimental results show the effectiveness of this system for future exhaust emissions and enhanced evaporative emissions. This paper discusses the evaluation on the relationship between carbon canister condition and engine performance while engine is running.

Hydrocarbons which are the main sources of VOCs from motor vehicles are emitted not only from the engine exhaust gas but also from evaporation of the fuel in storage and supplying systems. Evaporative emissions from gasoline fuel systems could be classified by diurnal, hotsoak and running loss. Diurnal loss test procedures are different as countries. Korea introduced new evaporative regulation in 2009 with 24hour VT-shed test procedure and relaxed emission standards. The estimations on different test procedures in this study show that the new Korean regulation get a little more severe than before and the 2 day diurnal loss test of U.S. is the most severe. So the test procedures as well as the stronger standards should be considered in the next evaporative emission regulation to reduce VOCs from motor vehicles. The important parameters to affect evaporative emissions are air and fuel temperature and fuel vapor pressure. Diurnal loss increases exponentially as rising air temperature and vapor pressure. The effects of vapor pressure on running loss are different as the capacities of canisters. Tests with simulating real temperature and driving conditions show that hydrocarbons in evaporative emissions could be more than those in exhaust gas in summer season because of the higher air temperature.

Prediction of the performance of a carbon canister in vehicle evaporative emission control system has become an important aspect of overall fuel system development and design. A vehicle's evaporative emission control system is continuously working, even when the vehicle is not running, due to generation of vapors from the fuel tank during ambient temperature variations. Evaporative emissions from gasoline powered vehicles continue to be a major concern. The objective of this paper is to clarity the flow characteristics and other such fundamental data for the canister during loading and purging are needed, and this data will prove valuable in the development of the canister. This paper is to evaluate the relationship between carbon canister condition and engine performance during engine operation, and the effects of evaporative emissions on the engine performance were investigated.

Source profiles were developed for a total of 45 volatile organic compounds (VOC) that can be emitted from gasoline evaporation. The gasoline samples of five major brands (for each season) were blended on the basis of the market share in Seoul area and analyzed by a GC-MS/FID system. In addition, we calculated gasoline evaporative compositions using the Raoult's law from the liquid gasoline compositions. The measured and estimated gasoline vapor compositions agree well each other. As a group, alkanes are the most abundant in the gasoline vapors profiles (77.4% on average), followed by alkenes (19.1%), and aromatics (1.7%). As a specie in gasoline vapor, i-pentane is the most abundant, followed by n-butane, n-pentane, i-butane, trans-and cis-2-butenes, 2-methyl-2-butene, and trans-and cis-2-pentenes . It was also seen that aromatic content was much lower in the vapor phase compositions. From the comparison between experimental and calculated compositions, we identified the fact that once the gasoline vapor composition is reliably constructed entirely from the measured gasoline composition and the Raoult's law calculations, the need for doing separate chemical analyses of the gasoline vapor can be reduced.

The objective of this paper is to clarify the flow characteristic, velocity distribution, pressure loss, and other such fundamental data for the canister during loading and purging. The amount of gas that is loaded increases as the loading rate is decreased and the time increased, and the purging improves as the purge rate is increased. The hydrocarbons that are purged initially have a high concentration, and a large amount is purged. During loading and purging, the temperature initially increases and decreases drastically due to heat generation and heat loss.

대기오염에 관한 관심은 국내 외에서 점진적으로 상승하고 있으며, 자동차와 연료 연구자들은 청정(친환경 대체연료) 연료와 연료품질 향상 등을 이용하여 새로운 엔진 설계, 혁신적인 후 처리 시스템 등의 많은 접근을 통하여 차량 유해 배기가스를 감소시키려고 노력하고 있다. 이러한 연구들은 가솔린 자동차의 배출가스 및 가솔린 차량의 PM 입자 배출 등의 두 가지 이슈로 진행되고 있다. 자동차의 배출가스 및 PM(입자상 물질) 입자는 환경오염과 인체에 악영향을 주는 많은 문제를 일으키고 있다. 추가로, 함산소 첨가제로서 연료에 포함된 MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)에 대한 환경 문제점을 연구하고 있다. 연구자들은 MTBE가 건강에 미치는 영향에 대한 많은 데이터를 가지고 있다. 이러한 데이터는 높은 MTBE 용량에서 잠재적인 발암 물질 임을 결론짓고 있다. 함산소 연료첨가제 유형 (MTBE, 바이오 ETBE, 바이오 에탄올, 바이오 부탄올)에 기초하여, 본 논문은 가솔린 연료 물성 및 증발가스 배출 특성에 대해 산소함량의 영향을 검토하였다. 또한, 연료물성에 대한 휘발유 차량의 가속 및 출력 성능을 평가하였다.
