  • Natural gas for marine diesel engine is considered as an important and clean source of energy because of simultaneously reducing the emission of NOx, SOx and GHG. Especially with a appearance of shale gas, the using of natural gas has been investigated aggressively and expected to expand rapidly. By the reports, gas engine and diesel engine were both in a similar performance in the power aspect, and the SFOC of gas engine was shown a little better than that of diesel engine. But the characteristics of exhaust gas emission were different according to various combustion technologies. And with lean burn technology, the emission of NOx could be reduced to 85% lower than that of diesel engine. In this paper, it was described that a simulation program has been developed to predict NOx emission. The developed program is adopted two-zone model and Wiebe function for combustion in cylinder. The effects of premixed and diffusive combustion could be simulated by using the excess air ratio as input data. And it was confirmed that the results of simulation were agreed with the general trends of exhaust gas emission according to various combustion conditions such as lean burn, premixed and diffusive combustion.

  • 본 연구에서는 직접분사식 CNG기관의 희박한계를 보다 확장하여 고효율 및 저배기 공해를 실현시키고자 실린더 내에 고압의 천연가스를 직접분사함과 동시에 흡입과정 중 흡기관 내에 소량의 저압천연가스를 보조분사하는 경우의 희박한계 확장 및 제반특성에 대해 검토하였다. 그 결과, 흡기보조분사가 없을 경우 희박한계가 ${\lambda}$ = 1.4 까지였으나, 흡기보조분사율이 5~15% 정도에서는 희박한계가 ${\lambda}$ = 1.5 까지 확장되었다. 이는 흡기보조분사에 따른 혼합기의 혼합율 향상에 기인한 것으로 해석하였다. 연소기간은 줄어들었지만, 흡기보조분사의 효과는 주연소기간에서 조기연소기간보다 강하게 나타났다.

  • Bi-fuel system in a spark ignition engine (SIE) is a rising phenomena in today's automobile technology. In a gasoline driven vehicle, alternatively adoption of compressed natural gas (CNG) could be used as a potential substitute to meet the energy requirement and this is possible by some minor changes in the hardware of the existing engine. Gasoline engine is widely used in the passenger cars, light, medium and heavy duty vehicles but the consumption status of the petroleum is decreasing worldwide and at the same time environmental pollution from automobiles is seriously establishes as a threat for every nation in respect to global warming and climate changes. Now-a-days most vehicles operate using CNG for its popularity stems, clean burning properties and cost effective solution compared to other alternative fuels. It refers as a good gaseous fuel because of its high octane number and self ignition temperature. Though the power output is slightly lesser than the gasoline fuel; its thermal efficiency is better than the gasoline for the same SIE. The research paper highlights the reduction of CO, reasonable outcomes of HC emissions with minor increase in $NO_x$ emissions compared with the gasoline fuel to bi-fuel mode in the SIE that meets the emission challenges.

  • A heavy duty hydrogen-natural gas fueled engine can obtain stable operation at ultra lean conditions and reduce emissions extremely. Reduction of $CO_2$ in its engine is one of the most benefit. In this study, rate of hydrogen addition($R_{dH2}$) and compression ratio($\varepsilon$) were investigated including performance of this engine. As results, it was found that phenomenon of pressure oscillation when increasing $R_{dH2}$ and $\varepsilon$, it means occurring knock. It consider that pressure oscillation was increased due to fast burning speed of hydrogen. Even if same compression ratio, pressure oscillation was remarkable increased according to increasing $R_{dH2}$. Therefore, limit compression ratio of knock occurring was reduced by increasing $R_{dH2}$.

  • Natural gas is the world's most plentiful combustible fuel, abundantly acailable in all continent. A fuel injector designed specifically for low energy density gaseous fuels has been developed. The injector incorporates design features that are necessary to optimize the performance for fuels such as CNG, LNG. Gaseous fuel injectors have a decisive influence upon starting performance, driveability, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. A gaseous fuel injector has been developed to cope with the considerably larger volume flow rates and the developed gaseous fuel injector could be used at heavy duty natural gas engine. The static flow of injectors at various inlet pressure was directly proportional and the controllability showed great performance.

  • Stoichiometric combustion engine with Three-way catalyst had an advantage that can reduce the harmful emissions effectively. Fuel equivalence ratio controlled from engine is very important because Fuel equivalence ratio with high conversion efficiency was narrow. This study analyzed the conversion efficiency under whole range of operating area for to evaluate the performance of three-way catalyst. In order to identify the Optimum conversion efficiency, the conversion efficiency due to change the control value of fuel equivalence ratio was investigated. The result show that conversion efficiency of emissions(more than 95%) has discovered by means of fuel equivalence ratio control at each test condition. As engine power increases, optimal fuel equivalence ratio tended to increase linearly under operating conditions of similar exhaust gas temperature.

  • A hydrogen enriched CNG engine can be stably operated at ultra lean condition and reduce emission extremely. It also has advantage to increase gradually the use of hydrogen for the coming hydrogen-energy age. In this studies, the combustion and emission characteristics of heavy-duty hydrogen-CNG engine were investigated to verify the enhancement of performance by enriched hydrogen into natural gas. The results showed that a hydrogen-CNG engine could achieve ultra lean operation and low emission, while power was reduced by the decrease of intake air flow.

  • The introduction of alternative fuels is beneficial to overcome the fuel shortage and reduce engine exhaust emissions. LPG and CNG are relatively clean fuel and considered as most promising alternative automotive fuels worldwide because of its emission reduction potential and lower fuel price compared to gasoline. Now a day’s adaptation of dual fuel approach is the growing as common trend. The two fuels can be successfully implemented with existing gasoline engine with little modification. The present study was done to analyze the performance and emissions analysis of a multi cylinder spark ignition engine fuelled with the benefits of CNG and LPG aseffective alternate automotive fuels by simply using them in an unmodified petrol engine. The test results indicate, the energy content of CNG and LPG is the most limiting factor in acceptance for fuel economy and performance reasons. Thermal efficiency was high for CNG lowest for gasoline and LPG between the two. BSFC, CO and HC were low and NOx was high for CNG and low for gasoline, LPG lies between the two.
