In a bi-fuel engine using gasoline and LPG fuel, with the current ignition timing for gasoline being used, the effective performance could not be taken in LPG fuel supply mode. The ignition timing in LPG fuel mode must be advanced much more than that of gasoline mode for the compensation of its lower flame speed, due to engine torque drop. This study aims to develop the control system for ignition spark timing conversion which is composed of hardwares and control algorithm for gasoline/LPG engine. We propose the control system which can advance the ignition spark timing in LPG fuel mode more than used in gasoline fuel mode. The advance of ignition timing is achieved by change of the ignition dwell time of coil igniter. The engine torque and F/E(Fuel-Economy) in LPG fuel mode are measured to evaluate the difference of engine performance between before and alter changing ignition spark timings. The engine torque and F/E are increased respectively, which proves the developed control system is effective so much for gasoline and LPG bi-fuel engine.

LPG차량의 공기 흡입 시스템에서 먼지 입자의 대부분은 공기 청정기를 통해 제거되지만, 아주 작은 입자는 제거되지 않고 흡기계통에 축적되게 된다. 이 축적된 카본은 공회전 속도 제어와 센서신호 그리고 배출가스에 영향을 주게 된다. 또한 엔진 채터링 현상이나 자동변속기의 변속시점 불량등을 야기시킨다. 이 연구는 세척액을 사용하여 흡기계통을 세척하는 것에 관한 것이다. 워밍업된 챠량에서 흡입호스를 제거하고 세척액을 사용하여 가속시에 세척액을 흡입장치에 분사시켜 흡기계통을 세척하는 것이다. 세척액을 사용하여 스로틀 바디, ISC, 서지탱크, 흡입매니폴드, 흡기밸브, 연소실까지 세척함으로서 다음과 같은 실험결과를 얻을 수 있다. 스로틀 밸브가 정확하게 작동되어 TPS의 센서 신호 전압이 개선되었으며, 차량이 정지하는 경우 ISC 시스템은 공회전 속도 제어를 원활하게 작동하였다. 또한 일산화탄소는 약 0.15 %, 탄화수소는 약 20~100PPM으로 각각 감소되어 배기가스가 현저하게 개선되었다.

본 논문은 LPG 차량의 주행거리에 따른 스템시일의 오일누설 특성에 대한 실험적 연구결과를 제공하고자 한다. 캠축의 속도와 오일의 온도가 증가하여도 40,000 km 이하의 주행거리를 갖는 스템시일에서는 엔진오일의 누설에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 주행거리가 50,000 km 이상 100,000 km 정도에서 사용한 스템시일의 경우는 스템시일의 밀봉성에 영향을 미쳐 누설이 급격하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 포핏밸브와 스템시일 사이의 미끄럼마찰 접촉면을 따라서 오일이 누설되기 때문에 발생한 것이다. 실험결과에 의하면, 현재 LP차량에서 사용하고 있는 스템시일은 주행거리가 $50,000{\sim}60,000\;km$ 정도에서 교환하는 것이 누유특성을 고려하면 바람직하다. 따라서 포핏밸브의 누유를 차단하기 위해 사용하고 있는 스템시일은 보다 향상된 내구성과 수명연장을 위해 재설계되어야 한다.

Actual driving pattern of each motor vehicle type was measured and analyzed in Seoul area and vehicle emission rate was measured and traffic data were used to estimate vehicular emission factor and motor vehicle-related air pollutant emission. The analysis of contribution ratio of each vehicle type showed that LPG taxi's took 38.1% of total vehicular CO, gasoline passenger cars 37.5%, therefore, these cars are major sources of CO, gasoline passenger cars took 45.4% of total vehicular HC, motorcycles 25.3%, LPG taxi's 16.2%, so motorcycles can be said to play an important role in HC emission. For NOx, buses and trucks were thought to be major sources as buses took 36.8% and truck 26.4%. Diesel vehicles, on the other hand, took most $SO_2$ and particulate matter emission. Total emission from motor vehicles in Seoul was estimated to be 547 t/day of CO, 68t/day of HC, 163t/day of NOx, 18t/day of $SO_2$ and 19t/day of paticulate matter.

Using the CNG(compressed natural gas) and LPG(liquified petroleum gas) as the automotive fuel will be expanded because of their clean effect to the environmental air qualify. But these programs of gas using expansion would have a difficulty due to public consideration of gas utilities as a big hazard. The Ministry of Environment has an ambitious plan to substitute more than 25,000 buses with CNG and ensure more than 200 CNG refueling stations as well by the year of 2007. However, it is very difficult to establish new CNG and LPG refueling stations because of expanded safety distance than ever before by several major explosion accidents.

Currently, BLDC fuel pump was applied on LPi vehicle using 3rd fuel supply system as liquified phase LPG injection method had already shown better performance than others. Its cost, however, is rather expensive because of drawbacks such as complicated structure, a fault of localization of system. In this work, demonstration system for a developed turbine type fuel pump to replace BLDC system was setup and investigated. This study results that fuel mass flow rate of turbine type pump and injection performance of injector were better compared to BLDC type. Comparing flow rate of summer LPG with that of winter LPG, the flow rate decreased about 25% using winter LPG. Performance applying turbine type LPi fuel pump to engine is confirmed.

The regulations for hydrocarbon emission from vehicles have become much more stringent in recent years. These more stringent regulations request vehicle manufacturers to develop the advanced exhaust system for reducing exhaust emissions. The exhaust emissions has many sources in vehicle. In order to investigate the characteristics of hydrocarbon(HC) in the exhaust manifold, concentrations of individual HC species were measured in exhaust process. Using sampling valve, the light hydrocarbon emissions were captured in the exhaust manifold(catalyst before and after) and analyzed from LPLi engine exhaust manifold(catalyst before and after) using different fuel properties. Then exhaust samples were measured by gas chromatography(GC) and exhaust gas analyzer. Catalyst conversion efficiency for fuel properties of Butane 100% was better than Propane 100%. Start delay of LPLi engine was observed as increment of propane contents in LPG fuels.

An LPG engine (KL6i) for heavy duty vehicle has been developed using liquid phase LPG injection (LPLi) system, which has regarded as one of next generation LPG fuel supply systems. For the KL6i engine, lean burn technology was introduced to minimize the thermal loading and NOx emissions due to an increase of the engine power. In this work, injection timing and piston bowl shape were investigated for the stabilization of lean burn characteristics. Experimental results reveals that fuel stratification induced by these parameters is most effective strategy to extend lean combustion limit in the LPLi system.

최근 수소충전소 수요 증가에 따라, 산업통상자원부는 LPG, CNG, 주유소 등 기존의 자동차용 연료공급시설 내에 융합, 복합의 형태로 수소충전소 설치가 가능하도록 특례고시를 제정·공포하였다. 수소 융복합충전소는 특례기준 제정 이전까지 국내에서 운영된 사례가 없어, 4계절, 일교차와 같은 환경특성을 감안한 실증이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는, 국내 최초로 실증을 위해 설치된 울산 LPG-수소복합충전소의 충전데이터를 수집하여 분석하였다. 충전데이터는 압축기, 저장용기, 디스펜서에서 발생한 시간별 온도, 압력 데이터이며, 계절별 특성을 비교하기 위해 2018년 7월 중 울산 지역의 최고기온 일과 2018년 1월 중 최저기온 일을 포함하여 4계절 충전데이터를 수집하여 비교하였다. 비교결과, 외기온도의 변화가 수소차 차량용기의 초기온도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 최종적으로 차량의 충전시간과 충전속도에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 국내 수소충전소 기준(KGS FP217)과 미국의 충전프로토콜(SAE J2601)에서 제시한 한계온도를 초과한 경우는 없어 차량용기에 대한 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다.

In a bi-fuel engine using gasoline and LPG fuel, with the current ignition timing for gasoline being used, the optimum performance could not be taken in LPG fuel supply mode. The ignition timing in LPG fuel mode must be advanced much more than that of gasoline mode for the compensation of its higher ignition temperature. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the ignition spark timing conversion influences the engine performance of LPG/Gasoline Bi-Fuel engine. In order to investigate the engine performance during combustion, engine performance are sampled by data acquisition system, for example cylinder pressure, pressure rise rate and heat release rate, while change of the rpm(1500, 2000, 2500) and the ignition timing advance($5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$). As the result, between 1500rpm, 2000rpm and 2500rpm, the cylinder pressure and pressure rise rate was increased when the spark ignition was advanced but pressure rise rate at $20^{\circ}$ was smaller value.
