현재 세계적으로 배출가스 규제 강화와 유가 상승으로 인해 가솔린엔진에서 배출되는 유해 배출 가스 저감기술 및 연비향상 기술 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 가솔린 직접분사(GDI; Gasoline direct injection) 기술은 가솔린 연료를 직접 연소실에 분사하여 정밀한 연소제어를 통해 매우 희박한 혼합기에서도 고효율의 연소가 가능하게 함으로써 연비저감과 고출력을 동시에 만족할 수 있는 효과적인 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 분무유도방식(spray-guided type)을 이용한 GDI 엔진을 개발하여 안정적인 희박연소를 구현하였다. 자주 사용되는 운전영역에서 연료분사시기의 TDC(Top dead center) 인근으로의 지각을 통하여 안정적인 희박연소를 구현하였으며, 다단분사를 적용하여 추가적인 연료소비율의 개선이 가능한 반면 탄화수소(THC)와 질소산화물($NO_x$)의 배출은 증가하고 CO의 배출은 감소되었다.

Diesel low temperature combustion (LTC) is the concept where fuel is burned at a low temperature oxidation regime so that $NO_x$ and particulate matters (PM) can simultaneously be reduced. There are two ways to realize low temperature combustion in compression ignition engines. One is to supply a large amount of EGR gas combined with advanced fuel injection timing. The other is to use a moderate level of EGR with fuel injection at near TDC which is generally called Modulated kinetics (MK) method. In this study, the effects of fuel injection pressure on performance and emissions of a single cylinder engine were evaluated using the latter approach. The engine test results show that MK operations were successfully achieved over a range of with 950 to 1050 bar in injection pressure with 16% $O_2$ concentration, and $NO_x$ and PM were significantly suppressed at the same time. In addition, with an increase in fuel injection pressure, the levels of smoke, THC and CO were decreased while $NO_x$ emissions were increased. Moreover, as fuel injection timing retarded to TDC, more THC and CO emissions were generated, but smoke and $NO_x$ were decreased.

본 논문에서는 해군함정의 추진용 디젤엔진의 연료로 사용되는 선박용 디젤연료와 바이오디젤을 단기통 엔진에 적용시켜 연료분사시기에 따른 실린더 내 연소특성, 엔진성능 및 질소산화물 배출 특성을 분석하고, 초고속 카메라를 이용하여 선박용 디젤연료와 바이오디젤연료의 연소과정을 분석하는데 초점을 두었다. 연료분사시기가 $BTDC25^{\circ}CA$에서 $BTDC5^{\circ}CA$까지 지각될수록 실린대 내 연소최고압력은 점점 떨어졌으나, 토크는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 질소산화물은 $BTDC15^{\circ}CA$에서 가장 높게 측정되었으며, $BTDC15^{\circ}CA$를 기준으로 지각 및 진각조건에서는 저감되는 것으로 분석되었다. 연료분사시기가 $BTDC5^{\circ}CA$일 때 선박용 디젤연료와 바이오디젤연료의 연소과정을 비교한 결과 산소가 포함된 바이오디젤연료의 착화시기가 선박용 디젤연료보다 빠르나, 화염이 확산되어 발달할수록 화염강도는 선박용 디젤연료가 큰 것으로 분석되었다.

A direct measurement of an initiation carrier injection for a low voltage discharge is presented. A self-sustained pulsed discharge is utilized to characterize electrical responses of a glow discharge for varying amounts of injected initiation carriers. It is clearly demonstrated that the initiation carrier injection affects the ignition time and the breakdown voltage of the primary discharge. An abrupt reduction in the breakdown voltage for a $300{\mu}m$ gap pin-plate discharge is observed when a threshold carrier density of $3{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$ is injected and the breakdown voltage continues to decrease to 250 V with increasing the initiation carrier injection beyond the threshold density.

In comparison with gasoline engine, LPG direct injection engine has some advantages not only in emission and fuel efficiency but also in prevention of power decrease and back fire etc. which are disadvantages of conventional LPG engine. In this study, comparision tests of the incylinder spray and combustion characteristics between of LPG and gasoline fuels were performed in the RCEM as a basic research for the development of future LPG engine with low emission and high fuel efficiency During the direct injection of LPG fuel and gasoline into the inside of RCEM, spray development characteristics according to the injection condition have been photographed by the high speed shadow graph methods. The conditions for the optimum mixture distribution of LPG and gasoline fuels are achievable at the selected ignition timing, respectively.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas(LPG) has attracted attention as a alternative fuel. The lean-burn LPG direct injection engine is a promising technology because it has an advantage of lower harmful emissions. This study aims to investigate the effect of combustion strategy and excess air ratio on combustion and emission characteristics in lean-burn LPG direct injection engine. Fuel consumption and combustion stability were measured with change of the ignition timing and injection timing at various air/fuel ratio conditions. The lean combustion characteristics were evaluated as a function of the excess air ratio with the single injection and multiple injection strategy. Furthermore, the feasibility of lean operation with stratified mixture was assessed when comparing the combustion and emission characteristics with premixed lean combustion.

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 cylindrical constant volume combustion chamber was used to investigate the exhaust emission characteristics of homogeneous charge, stratified pattern and inhomogeneous charge under various conditions using gas chromatography. In the case of homogeneous charge condition, the $CO_2$ concentration is proportional to excess air ratio and overall charge pressure, the $CO_2$ concentration is proportional to excess air ratio and the UHC concentration is inversely proportional to ignition time and overall charge pressure. In the case of stratified pattern, the RI(rich injection) condition shows better exhaust emission characteristics, especially $CO_2$, than that of HI (homogeneous injection) or LI (lean injection) conditions. In inhomogeneous charge conditions, when initial charge pressure is increased, $CO_2$ and UHC concentration is reduced but $O_2$ concentration is increased. And when the excess air ratio of initial charge mixture is 3.0, UHC and $CO_2$concentration show lowest values.

This study focused on comparing macroscopic characteristics of DME and diesel fuel experimentally. DME fuel is one of the most promising alternative fuels because of its superiority in atomization characteristic and clearness in terms of exhaust gas compared with existing fossil fuels. In addition, DME fuel has high cetane number so it could be applied to compression ignition engine. However because DME fuel exists in gas phase at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and it corrodes rubber parts of fuel line, DME fuel is hard to apply to commercial vehicles. To establish knowledge about DME fuel and furthermore, to develop commercial DME vehicles such as passenger cars, many research have been proceeded steadily. The present study, by comparing spray characteristics of DME fuel to those of diesel fuel, improved atomization characteristics in DME were revealed. Injection quantity measurement and spray visualization experiment were progressed and it was revealed that DME fuel shows small injection quantity than that of diesel fuel and axial development of spray in terms of spray tip penetration decreases when DME fuel was injected.

To cope with recent high gas prices and global warming phenomenon, the latest gasoline engine technologies are focusing on direction injection, downsizing by turbo charging, variable compression ratio, controlled auto Ignition to enhance fuel efficiency and satisfy emission regulations. The variable valve train technology will be a basement for these innovative technologies in internal combustion engines and is supposed to play a key role to improve low thermal efficiency and pumping loss in gasoline engine caused by low compression ratio and throttled operation respectively.
