The gaseous fuel injection (GFI) type in LPG fuel supply system has more advantage than the liquified fuel injection type from the viewpoint of durability and cost reduction. But in GFI system, to control pressure and temperature of gaseous fuel is needed to get precision fuel metering for the compressible characteristic of gaseous fuel. In this study, the effects of pressure and temperature on the fuel metering was simulated by commercial flow network analysis package, Flowmaster. And the fuel composition effects on the fuel metering were also studied to figure out the fuel metering characteristics.

The effects of the intake and exhaust valve timing to improve the engine performance in a spark ignition 3-cylinder LPG engine with a closed loop fuel supply system were studied. The engine torque and power have been measured using the 75kW EC-dynamometer while adjusting the optimal fuel consumption ratio with a solen- oid driver. As the results from this experiment, when intake valve opening is $12^{\circ}$ BTDC, intake valve closing is $36^{\circ}$ ABDC, exhaust valve opening is $12^{\circ}$ ATDC, and exhaust valve closing is $36^{\circ}$ BBDC respectively, the best torque characteristics in low and high speeds for a gives engine were obtained. And also we could find that the torque characteristics in low speeds were affected by the timing of exhaust valve open. An increased valve overlap by the EVC delay was ineffectual to the torque characte- ristics improvement in high speeds.

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.

An LPG engine for heavy-duty vehicles has been developed using liquid phase LPG injection (hereafter LPLi) system which has regarded as one of the next generation LPG fuel supply systems. In this wort to investigate the lean bum characteristics of heavy-duty LPLi engine, various injection timing (SOI, start of injection) and double ignition method were tested. The results showed that lean misfire limit of LPLi engine could be extended. by 0.2 $\lambda$ value, using the optimal SOI timing in LPLi system. Double ignition method test was carried out by installing the second spark plug and modified ignition circuit to ignite two spark plugs simultaneously. Double ignition resulted in the stable combustion under ultra lean bum condition, below $\lambda=1.7$, and extension of lean misfire limit compare to ordinary case. Therefore, LPLi engine with optimal SOI and double ignition method could be normally operated at around $\lambda=1.9$ and showed higher engine performance.

21세기의 이슈 중 가장 주목받고 있는 것은 '녹색성장'입니다. 정부 역시 '저탄소 녹생성장'을 향후 60년 비전으로 제시하여 에너지 위기와 경제위기를 동시에 타개해 나가겠다고 선포하였습니다. 이에 따라 환경부에서는 저탄소 녹색성장의 효율적 추진을 위해 지자체 기후변화대응 강화, 탄소포인트제 실시, 폐기물 에너지 자원화, 저탄소형 소비 생산 문화 확산, 온실가스감축 실천프로그램, 저탄소 자동차 보급 확대 등 10대 중점과제를 선정하여 단계별로 추진 중입니다. 지금부터는 고유가 시대에 저렴한 연료비로 관심을 바도 있는 LPG차량(완성차, 엔진개조차량 포함)의 연비 특성에 대해 살펴보겠습니다.

In this study, the characteristics of decreasing exhaust gas of diesel engine was examined in dual fuel method by using commertial LPG for automotive. LPG was supplied to engine intake port by fumigation method and flow rate was controlled by using the needle valve. LPG supply ratios were 0, 20, 30% of total fuel amount to be supplied to engine by mass base. We investigated the effect of LPG supply ratio on exhaust gas concentrations related to excess air ratio and engine load at 1600, 1800, 2000 rpm. Soot concentration decreased about 30% in proportion to the increase of the LPG supply ratio. NOx concentration decreased in proportion to the increase of the LPG than diesel only and the increase rate was higher at low engine load. BSFC(Brake specific fuel consumption) was lower in proportion to the increase of the LPG supply ratio at high engine load and to the decrease of LPG supply ratio at low engine load.
