Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has been used as motor fuel due to its low emissions and low cost. A liquid direct injection system into a cylinder was suggested as a next generation system to maximize a fuel economy as well as a power. This study addresses the analysis of the LPG spray injecting from single hole injector. Two different test conditions are given, which are a fully developed spray case with various injection pressures and a developing spray case with ambient pressure variation. The LPG spray photographs are compared with the sprays of gasoline and diesel fuel at the same conditions, and the spray angles and penetration lengths are also compared, and then the spray behavior is analyzed. The LPG spray photos show that the dispersion characteristic depends very sensitively on the ambient pressure soon after injection. The spray angle is very wide in a low ambient pressure condition until the saturated pressure, but the angle is quickly reduced at the condition over the pressure. However, the down stream of the LPG spray shows much wider dispersion and less penetration than those of gasoline and diesel sprays regardless ambient pressure condition.

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.

산업의 발달에 따른 영향으로 에너지수요가 증가함에 따라 국내에는 에너지 산업시설(저장시설, 고압가스 배관, 충전소, 탱크로리 등)이 전국에 산재하게 되었고 사용하는 에너지의 종류도 과거 한정된 자원이 아닌 다양한 에너지원을 사용하게 되었다. 이러한 에너지시설에는 화재, 폭발 및 유독물질 누출 등 중대사고가 발생할 수 있다. 더욱이 국내의 에너지시설은 밀집되어 있어 연쇄적인 사고가 일어날 가능성이 존재한다. 이 연구에서는 기존에 설치 운영되고 있는 LPG(liquefied petroleum gas) 및 가솔린(gasoline) 충전소와 LNG(liquefied natural gas) 충전소에 대한 피해예측을 실시하고 이를 비교 분석 함으로써 국내에서 처음 시도되고 있는 가솔린 주유소 및 LPG/LNG 충전소가 병설되어 설치되는 경우의 안전성을 검토하고자 한다.

This study was carried out to develop an engine for off-road vehicles especially for farm tractors using the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) which is known as a source of energy having good potential of substitute fuel for diesel engine because of its economical advantage and low pollutant materials after combustion. The study was focused on develop an engine of high in specific power output, low in specific fuel consumption and emission of pollutants. A series of teat was dope on the engine - various laboratory tests to analyze performance of the engine and actual field tests with the engine installed on a farm tractor as a power source.

The exhaust emission characteristics of a liquefied petroleum gas-di-methyl ether (LPG-DME) compression ignition engine was investigated under homogeneous charge, stratified charge and diffusion combustion conditions. LPG was used as the main fuel and injected into the combustion chamber directly. DME was used as an ignition promoter and injected into the intake port. Different LPG injection timings were tested to verify the combustion characteristics of the LPG-DME compression ignition engine. The combustion was divided into three region which are homogeneous charge, stratified charge, and diffusion combustion region according to the injection timing of LPG. The HC emission was reduced with LPG stratification. However, the carbon monoxide and particulate matter emissions were increased. The ignition timing was advanced with LPG stratification. This advance combustion was because of charge temperature and cetane number stratification with LPG.

Almost accidents related with gas have started with the leakage of LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) in the open air. But experimental data of LPG leak jet are difficult to find because the safety of experiment is hard to secure and its phenomenon is not steady but transitional. This study is focused on the phenomena of injection jet of liquid butane to the open air. Simple experiment shows that only liquid butane jet in the open air is possible due to the slow vaporization because of low temperature difference between the liquid and air and low vapor pressure of liquid butane. Comparing with the water, 25~40% more liquid butane flow through the tube under the same pressure difference driving.

Liquefied petroleum gas and compressed natural gas haven been regarded as promising alternative fuels because of no smoke, and they are also clean fuel for spark-ignited engine. In spark-ignited direct-injection engine, direct injection technology can increase engine volumetric efficiency significantly and also reduce necessity of throttle valve. This study designed combustion chamber equipped with visualization system. To improve ignition probability, the study designed to help three types of impingement-walls to form mixture. In doing so, LPG CNG-air mixture could be easily formed after spray-wall impingement and ignition probability increased too. The results of this study could contribute as basic resources of spark-ignited direct injection LPG and CNG engine design and optimization extensively.

The combustion characteristics of a liquefied petroleum gas-di-methyl ether (LPG-DME) compression ignition engine was investigated under homogeneous charge and stratified charge conditions. LPG was used as the main fuel and injected into the combustion chamber directly. DME was used as an ignition promoter and injected into the intake port. Different LPG injection timings were tested to verify the combustion characteristics of the LPG-DME compression ignition engine. The combustion was divided into three region which are homogeneous charge, stratified charge, and diffusion flame region according to the injection timing of LPG. The hydrocarbon emission of stratified charge combustion was lower than that of homogeneous charge combustion. However, the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide emission of stratified charge combustion were slightly higher than those of the homogeneous charge region. The indicated mean effective pressure was reduced at stratified charge region, while it was almost same level as the homogeneous charge combustion region at diffusion combustion region. The start of combustion timing of the stratified charge combustion and diffusion combustion region were advanced compared to the homogeneous charge combustion. It attributed to the higher cetane number and mixture temperature distribution which locally stratified. However, the knock intensity was varied as the homogeneity of charge was increased.
