Benzene is an environmental pollutant that is present in mineral oil, natural gas, coal tar, gasoline, motor vehicle emissions, and tobacco smoke. The importance of benzene resides in the fact that it can induce hematotoxicity and leukemia in human and mice. However, the underlying mechanism of benzene hematotoxicity and leukemogenicity is still not fully understood.(omitted)

CNG buses has contributed to improve air quality in cities. But it is difficult to meet the next emission regulations such as EURO-VI without the help of additional post-processing device. Hydorgen has higher flame speed and lower combustion temperature that make it thermal efficiency increase with leaner operation. Using hydrogen natural gas blend (HCNG) fuel is promising technology which can reduce $NO_x$ and $CO_2$ emissions for a natural gas vehicle. However, fuel flow rate of HCNG should be increased since hydrogen's energy density per volume is much smaller than natural gas. In the present study, the characteristics of fuel supply system and its applicability were evaluated in a heavy duty natural gas engine. The results showed that the potential of fuel pressure regulator and fuel metering valve had enough capacity with HCNG. Employed mixer did not affect the distribution characteristics of mixture.

전 세계적으로 급성장하고 있는 자동차연료로 압축천연가스(CNG)의 사용이 일반화되고 있다. 1996년도에 100만 대이던 CNG자동차가 2006년도에는 5배가 증가하였으며, 지금도 계속 증가하고 있는 추세이다. CNG연료는 가솔린 및 디젤연료에 비하여 효율적이고 완전연소에 가까워 청정연료로서 적합하다. 또한 배출 가스로서 일산화탄소, 탄화수소 및 질소산화물 등이 다른 연료에 비하여 유리하며, 경제적인 면에서도 투자가치가 있다. 본 연구에서는 천연가스자동차의 환경적인 특성화 효율적이고 경제적인 면에서 고찰하고자 한다.

Growing concerns about environmental pollution have led to an increase in the demand for compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles in recent years. CNG vehicles are equipped with a cylinder valve installed in a high-pressure vessel to control the CNG flow. The cylinder valve must meet high quality safety standards because the pressure vessel stores high-pressure CNG. Therefore, safety evaluation of the cylinder valve is necessary to ensure the safety of CNG vehicles. In this study, fluid-structure interaction analysis for the structural integrity of the cylinder valve were conducted using a commercial finite element analysis code(ANSYS WORKBENCH V14). The CFD analysis was performed using a steady-state technique according to the inlet and outlet pressures in order to predict the pressure distribution. Structural analysis was performed by a static structure technique at the maximum working pressure to evaluate the structural integrity of the cylinder valve. From the results, the safety factor of the valve component is between 1.57 and 21.5.

Cars are one of the main causes of air pollution in large cities, and 34.6% of domestic air pollution emissions come from mobile sources, of which cars account for 69.6%. In particular, the importance of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), which are major pollutants in diesel vehicles, is increasing due to their high contribution to emissions. Therefore, in this study, the problem of natural regeneration caused by low exhaust gas temperature during low speed and low load operation was solved by applying a complex regeneration DPF that is not affected by temperature conditions to large diesel vehicles with higher driving time and engine displacement than small and medium-sized vehicles. And the feasibility of application to large diesel vehicles was reviewed by measuring the emission reduction efficiency. As a result of the reduction efficiency test on the actual vehicle durability product, PM showed a reduction efficiency of 84% to 86%, and the reduction efficiency of gaseous substances showed a high reduction efficiency of over 90%. The actual vehicle applicability test was completed with three driving patterns: village bus vehicle, police car, and road-going construction equipment vehicle, and no device problems occurred until the end of the test. Both load and no-load smoke measurement results showed a smoke reduction efficiency of over 96%.

Exhaust emissions were characterized for a fleet of 10 alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVx) including 5 compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. 3 liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vehicles and 2 85% methanol/15% California Phase 2 gasoline (M85) vehicles. In addition to the standard regulated emissions and detailed speciation of organic gas compounds, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to measure ammonia (NH$_3$) and nitrous oxide ($N_2$O) emissions. NH$_3$, emissions averaged 0.124 g/mi for the vehicle fleet with a range from <0.004 to 0.540 g/mi. $N_2$O emissions averaged 0.022 g/mi over the vehicle fleet with range from <0.002 to 0.077 g/mi. Modal emissions showed that both NH$_3$, and $N_2$O emissions began during catalyst light-off and continued as the catalyst reached its operating temperature. $N_2$O emissions primarily were formed during the initial stages of catalyst light-off. Detailed speciation measurements showed that the principal component of the fuel was also the primary organic gas species found in the exhaust. In particular, methane, propane and methanol composed on average 93%, 79%, and 75% of the organic gas emissions, respectively, for the CNG, LPG. and M85 vehicles.

The purpose of this study is to analysis of how to calculate fuel efficiency in major development countries (U.S. and Europe) and energy consumption formular derivation of domestic CNG fuel and prove by vehicle test. The formula of fuel consumption is different in mpg(mile per gallon), l/100km, and km/l each countries. CNG fuel has a significant impact on fuel density, composition, and Hydro-Carbon ratio. So, this study how to measurement and calculation procedures of CNG gaseous fueled vehicle energy consumption rate.

This study investigates the aging characteristics of NOx storage and reduction(NSR) catalyst on the emission conditions of lean burn natural gas vehicles. We designed various NSR catalysts using by the double-layer washcoat technology to increase of a surface area and a thermal durability performance of the catalysts. The experiments were conducted with 3 kinds of the NSR catalysts, which were manufactured using by a honeycomb cordierite substrate. It was found that Ba is weak in the thermal aging because it has lower melting temperature than that of precious metals (PMs). The suitable loading amount of Ba in this study should be about 42 g/L from the results of the NOx adsorption and the NOx reduction efficiency. The major reason in deactivation of the NSR catalyst is the decrease of the adsorption site owing to the agglomeration and sintering of Ba rather than PM aging by hydrothermal aging. It was confirmed by results of BET, SEM and TEM.

국토교통부에서는 교통약자의 이동 편의 증진을 위하여 승하차에 편리한 저상버스를 도입하였다. 표준모델로 고시된 저상버스는 11 m 급, 압축천연가스(CNG, Compressed Natural Gas)를 사용하는 차량으로 개발되었다. 11 m 급 저상버스는 길이 좁은 농어촌 및 산간지역 도로여건에서의 운행과, CNG 연료의 특성상 충전시설의 한계로 인하여 연료보급의 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국토교통부에서 교통약자의 이동편의 증진을 위해 진행하는 중형저상버스 표준모델 기술개발 과제의 일환으로 (주)타타대우상용차에서 제작한 LF-40을 대상으로 공차(CVW, Curb Vehicle Weight), 반적차(HVW, Half Vehicle Weight), 적차(GVW, Gross Vehicle Weight) 3가지 중량조건으로 실도로 타행주행을 통하여 주행저항 값을 취득하였고, WHVC, NIER-06, 복합 에너지 소비효율 측정 대상차량 외 차량의 에너지 소비 효율을 측정하기 위한 시험 방법인 정속주행 (60 km/h)모드를 사용하였다. 시험 결과 공차상태의 연비가 가장 좋았으며, 대표적으로 WHVC 모드에서는 공차대비 반적차는 3.5 %, 공차대비 적차는 12 % 연비소모율의 차이를 보였다. 60 km/h 정속 주행모드에서는 다른 시험모드와 다르게 공차보다 반적차의 연비가 높은 것으로 측정되었다. 추후 배출가스 데이터의 분석이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
