The objective of this research is to investigate the impact of engine oil aging on PM(Particulate Matter), exhaust gases, and DPF. It is widely known that the specification of a lubricant and its consumption in an ICE considerably influences the release of regulated harmful emissions under normal engine operating conditions. Considering DPF clogging phenomena associated with lubricant-derived soot/ash components, a simulated aging mode is designed for DPF to facilitate engine dynamometer testing. A PM/ash accumulation cycle is developed by considering real-world engine operating conditions for the increment of engine oil consumption and natural DPF regeneration for ash accumulation. The test duration for DPF aging is approximately 300 h with high- and low-SAPs engine oils. Detailed engine lubricant properties of new and aged oils are analyzed to evaluate the effect of engine oil degradation on vehicle mileage. Furthermore, physical and chemical analyses are performed using X-CT, ICP, and TGA/DSC to quantify the engine oil contribution on the PM composition. This is achieved by sampling with various filters using specially designed PM sampling equipment. Using high SAPs engine oil causes more PM/ash accumulation compared with low SAPs engine oils and this could accelerate fouling of the EGR in the engine, which results in an increase in harmful exhaust gas emissions. These test results on engine lubricants under operating conditions will assist in the establishment of regulated and unregulated toxic emissions policies and lubricant quality standards.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the composition of the crystal phases of various calcium silicate-based materials (CSMs): ProRoot white MTA^Ⓡ (mineral trioxide aggregate) (WMTA), Ortho MTA^Ⓡ (OM), Endocem MTA^Ⓡ (EM), Retro MTA^Ⓡ (RM), Endocem Zr^Ⓡ (EN-Z), Biodentine^TM (BD), EZ-seal^TM (EZ), and OrthoMTA III (OM3). Methods: In a sample holder, 5 g of the powder sample was placed and the top surface of the material was packed flat using a sterilized glass slide. The prepared slides were mounted on an X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrument (D8 Advance; Bruker AXS GmbH, Germany). The X-ray beam 2θ angle range was set at 10~90° and scanned at 1.2° per minute. The Cu X-ray source set to operate at 40 kV and 40 mA in the continuous mode. The peaks in the diffraction pattern of each sample were analyzed using the software Diffrac (version 2.1). Then, the peaks were compared and matched with those of standard materials in the corresponding Powder Diffraction File (PDF-2, JCPDS International Center for Diffraction Data). A powder samples of the materials were analyzed using XRD and the peaks in diffraction pattern were compared to the Powder Diffraction File data. Results: Eight CSMs showed a similar diffraction pattern because their main component was calcium silicate. Eight CSMs showed similar diffraction peaks because calcium silicate was their main component. Two components were observed to have been added as radiopacifiers: bismuth oxide was detected in WMTA, OM, and EM while zirconium oxide was detected in RM, EN-Z, BD, EZ, and OM3. Unusual patterns were detected for the new material, OM3, which had strong peaks at low angles. Conclusion: It was caused by the presence of Brushite, which is believed to have resulted in crystal growth in a particular direction for a specific purpose.

본 연구는 승용 디젤엔진의 입자상 물질 배출특성에 관한 것으로써, 엔진에서 배출된 입자상 물질이 배기관 및 후처리장치인 디젤산화촉매와 매연여과장치를 통과할 때의 특성 변화를 파악하기 위하여 후처리장치 각각 전 후단 및 배기관에서 직접 측정하였다. 또한 다양한 엔진회전속도 및 부하조건에서 측정함으로써 입자상 물질 배출 맵을 구축하였으며, 디젤산화촉매 및 매연여과장치의 입자상 물질 저감효과에 대해 평가하였다. 뿐만 아니라 배기재순환율과 연료분사시기를 변경시켜 입자상 물질의 배출특성 변화를 파악하였다. 모든 시험에서 입자상 물질을 5~1000nm 크기까지 측정할 수 있는 DMS500을 이용하였다.

현재 국내 엔진오일-윤활유가 배출가스에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 미비한 실정이며 그 실험 방법 또한 확립되어 있지 않다. 이에 엔진을 이용한 윤활유 성상 변화가 PM(Particulate Matters) 배출에 미치는 영향 평가방법을 수립하여 윤활유의 성상 및 열화가 자동차 성능과 환경성에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 한다. 윤활유 소모 및 연소로 인한 DPF(Diesel Particulate Filter) 및 후처리 장치에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 것이 중요하며, 특히 DPF의 재생과정에서 생성되는 PM(Particulate Matters)과 Ash가 DPF에 미치는 장기적인 영향과 내부 변형 및 내구성에 대한 평가와 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 정형화 되지 않은 시험모드를 개발하였으며, 내구시험결과 High SAPs의 경우 Low SAPs(Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus and Sulfuate)보다 DPF내 Ash의 축적량이 많은 것을 확인하였으며, EGR(Exhaust Gas Recycling)의 Fouling 현상 가속화에 영향을 미칠 것으로 확인하였다. 본 연구결과물을 토대로 윤활유의 기유, 첨가제, 열화 등에 따른 엔진 및 차량의 성능과 배출가스 특성을 기술정책 자료로서 활용하도록 방향을 도모하고 시험 방법을 확립하고자 한다.
