액화석유가스의 안전관리 및 사업법에서 판매사업자의 벌크로리를 이용한 LPG 공급은 10톤 이하의 벌크로리로 3톤 미만의 소형저장탱크까지만 가능하다. 정부에서는 LPG 판매사업자의 향상된 안전관리능력을 반영하여 벌크로리의 공급 범위를 10톤 미만의 저장탱크까지로 확대할 계획을 발표하였다. 따라서 벌크로리를 통해 안정적으로 저장탱크에 LPG를 공급하기 위해서는 기존 벌크로리의 LPG 공급 시스템에 대한 기술적 평가가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 벌크로리를 통한 국내의 LPG 공급시스템 현황을 파악하고, 안전한 LPG 공급방법에 대해서 알아보고자 한다. 우선, 기초자료 수집을 위해서 관련 사업자 대상으로 벌크로리를 통한 저장탱크 LPG 공급시스템에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문 조사 결과를 바탕으로 현장조사를 진행하여 안정적인 LPG공급을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 한다.

The liquid phase LPG injection (LPLi) system (the third generation technology) has been considered as one of the next generation fuel supply systems for LPG vehicles, since it has a very strong potential to accomplish the higher power, higher efficiency, and lower emission characteristics than the mixer type (the second generation technology) fuel supply system. To investigate the characteristics of LPG residue in liquid phase LPG injection system, various rubbers in LPG fuel system were reacted with LPG fuels during 3 months. The experimental results showed that the residue of a cover rubber in a fuel pump after test increased 10 times higher than that before test. Furthermore, the amount of sulfur, nitrogen species which are considered as main sources in deposit formation in the LPLi fuel injector were also found to be higher than that in original LPG fuel. And rubber properties of fuel pump cover were decreased after reaction test compared with those of the original rubber. Therefore, the rubber for fuel pump cover is not suitable for a proper material in LPLi fuel system. And these results can provide more information if a motor company shares the data of core rubber parts in field test LPLi vehicles.

The liquid phase LPG injection (LPLi) system (the third generation technology) has been considered as one of the next generation fuel supply systems for LPG vehicles, since it has a very strong potential to accomplish the higher power, higher efficiency, and lower emission characteristics than the mixer type(the second generation technology) fuel supply system. To investigate the durability property of core part of injector in liquid phase LPG injection system, leakage test, SEM test of injectors and analysis of unvaporized fuel components with various LPG fuel qualities were tested. The experimental results showed that no serious problem in durability test using favorable LPG fuel quality, while high leakage amount due to the large scratches in the needle and nozzle of the injector were found using LPG fuel with highly containing olefin components, especially butadiene species.

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.

The liquid phase LPG injection (LPLi) system (the 3rd generation technology) has been considered as one of the most promising fuel supply systems for LPG vehicles. To investigate the reaction characteristics of LPG with rubber parts in LPLi system, various rubbers were tested. The results showed that the amount of residue from the cover rubber of a fuel pump was increased about 10 times after testing. Furthermore, the amount of sulfur and nitrogen species which are considered as main sources of deposit formation in LPLi fuel injectors were also found to be higher than those in original LPG fuel. In addition, these residues made the core parts of LPLi injector such as needle and nozzle, partially worn, which eventually causes leakage in LPLi injectors.

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.

An experimental studies of conventional gasoline fuel pump were carried out to obtain fundamental data fur liquid phase LPG injection(LPLi) system. A regenerative type and a roller-vane type of pumps were investigated in various operational condition. The experiments were performed to obtain flow rate of LPG fuel as a function of pressure differences and temperatures. The regenerative pump had too low flow rate at some experimental conditions to use this pump system for LPLi fuel supply system. On the other hand, the roller-vane type pump can be applied to the system only if its check valve is modified. Cavitation might occur in this system which can result in system noise, flow rate variation, and pump durability problem. To solve these problems the system is needed to increase $NPSH_{re}$(required net positive suction head).

LPG 연료공급방식은 배출가스를 저감시킬 수 있는 유용한 시스템으로 연구가 지속적으로 진행되고 있다. LPG는 경유와 휘발유보다 높은 증기압과 낮은 점도와 표면장력을 유지하므로 고무류와 화학 반응에 따른 연료펌프의 기계적인 손상으로 내구성이 저하되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 LPLi 시스템에서 유지보수의 편리함과 가격경쟁을 위해 개발된 외장형 펌프를 사용하여 LPG 연료의 조성 및 온도에 따른 특성을 평가하고자 실험을 하였다. 그 결과로서, 내장형 펌프와 외장형 펌프의 성능차이는 거의 없으며 프로판 함유율이 높고, 연료온도가 높아짐에 따라 유량은 많아지나 펌프효율은 거의 차이가 없었다. 또한 LPG 자동차 연료공급장치의 특성상 연료조성 및 온도변화에 따른 차압도 거의 일정하게 나타내었다.

This study is mainly focused on the assessment of return, semi return, and returnless fuel supply system for an LPi engine. In order to compare the return type with returnless one with various LPG blends, combustion analysis and cyclic THC emission characteristic were tested at the part load operating condition of the LPi engine. Considering heat balance of each fuel supply systems, pressure and temperature increment of return type showed lower at the fuel rail during idle warm up operation. However, those of returnless type at LPG tank maintained stable and slow increment because the heat transfer from the LPi engine was minimized. Finally, hot restartability of each fuel supply systems were evaluated with the various LPG blends and fuel temperatures. As a result, semi return type has equivalent performance to return type considering combustion and emission characteristic, hot restartability performance for LPi engine.
