The combustion purpose of diesel engine is to reduce the emission of green gas and to produce high output. Generally, the regulation matter of emission gas is largely diveded by 'THC', 'NOx', 'CO' and 'PM'. Among those matters, the most problem is to disgorge into 'PM', the character of diesel combustion. Diesel PM can be controlled using Diesel Particulate Filter, which can effectively reduce the level of soot emissions to ambient background levels. $NO_2$ generated by the DOC is used to combust the carbon collected in the DPF at low temperature. To certificate DPF device that is suitable to domestic circumstances, it is necessary to exactly evaluate the DPF devices according to the regulation of DPF certificate test procedure fur retrofit. To do carry out the above-mentioned description the understanding of that regulation like the standard of PM reduction is needed. In this study the test procedure including test cycle and BPT test condition was examined, and also the test result for specific DPF was analyzed. In every test like field test, PM reduction efficiency test and Seoul-10 mode test, no defect was showed.

In this study, blending oils of diesel oil and butanol were used as fuel oil for diesel engine to measure combustion pressure, fuel consumption, air ratio and exhaust gas emission due to various operating conditions such as engine revolution and torque. Using these data, the results of analyzing the engine performance, combustion characteristics and exhaust emission characteristics such as NOx (nitrogen oxides), CO₂ (carbon dioxide), CO (carbon monoxide) and soot were as follows. The fuel conversion efficiency at each load was highest when driven in the engine revolution determined by a fixed pitch propeller law. Except 30% butanol blending oil, fuel conversion efficiency of the other fuel oils increased as the load increased. Compared to diesel oil, using 10% and 20% butanol blending oil as fuel oil was advantageous in terms of thermal efficiency, but it did not have a significant impact on the reduction of exhaust gas emissions. On the other hand, future research is needed on the results of the 20% butanol blending oil showing lower or similar levels of smoke concentration and carbon monoxide emission rate other than those types of diesel oil.

Diesel emission control is being addressed worldwide to help preserve the global environment. This paper mainly deals with the effects of oxidation catalysts to reduce emissions from the automotive heavy-duty diesel engine. Two types of the oxidation catalyst with different kinds of precious material were used. An 11 litter displacement diesel engine with turbocharger was operated to evaluate DOC with various engine speed, load conditions under D-13 mode cycle. We could propose the detail emission data of an automotive heavy-duty diesel engine and the characteristics of the conversion efficiency of the DOC under the D-13 mode. It was found that the mean conversion efficiencies of CO and THC were 49.7% and 61% under the D-13 mode test, respectively.

As world attention has focused on global warming and air pollution, high efficiency diesel engines with low $CO_2$ emissions have become more attractive. Premixed diesel engines in particular have the potential to achieve the more homogeneous mixture in the cylinder which results in lower NOx and soot emission. Early studies have shown that the operation conditions such as the EGR, intake conditions, injection conditions and compression ratio are important to reduce emissions in a PCCI (Premixed Charge Compression Ignition) engine. In this study a modified cam was employed to reduce the effective compression ratio. While opening timing of the intake valve was fixed, closing timing of the intake valve was retarded $30^{\circ}$. Although Atkinson cycle with the retarded cam leads to a low in-cylinder pressure in the compression stroke, the engine work can still be increased by advanced injection timing. On that account, we investigated the effects of various injection parameters to reduce emission and fuel consumption; as a result, lower NOx emission levels and almost same levels of fuel consumption and PM compared with those of conventional diesel engine cam timing could be achieved with the LIVC system.

자동차로부터 배출되는 배기가스는 오존 및 미세먼지 등의 농도를 증가시켜 인체의 건강을 위협할 뿐만 아니라 지구 온난화 물질인 이산화탄소를 다량 배출하고 있어 지구 온난화에도 지대한 영향을 미치고 있다. 그래서 정부는 자동차에서 배출되는 배기가스를 효율적으로 규제하기 위한 제도로 운행차 배출가스 정밀검사 제도를 시행하고 있다. 자동차 배출가스를 줄이려는 연구는 다방면으로 이루어지고 있으며, 자동차의 배출가스 중 HC, NOx, $CO_2$ 등의 발생을 줄이기 위한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 노후된 자동차에 대한 배출가스 저감에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 노후된 디젤자동차들이 운행차 배출가스 정밀검사를 만족하기 위해서는 흡기 다기관(manifold)과 인젝터의 카본퇴적물(Carbon sediment)을 세척하여 출력향상 및 배출가스 저감에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 차령 5년 이상, 주행거리 80,000 km 이상의 디젤자동차에 흡기 다기관 클리닝과 인젝터 클리닝을 동시에 수행하여 매연 발생에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과, 흡기다기관 클리닝과 인젝터 클리닝을 동시 수행한 결과는 각각 수행한 결과보다 매연을 75.2% 감소시켰다. 또한, 흡기다기관 클리닝과 인젝터 클리닝을 동시 수행한 결과는 검사 후 8.5초부터 배출허용 기준 30%이하를 만족하였다.

Electronic Toll Collection System (ETCS), so called "Hi-Pass" in Korea, has improved traffic flow at toll gate of highways. It is known that the improvement of traffic flow should reduce air pollutants and $CO_2$ from vehicles. In this study, real driving emission of a light duty truck with Portable Emission Measurement System(PEMS) has been measured to evaluate the emission reduction effect due to ETCS. The correlations between driving variables and emissions have been analyzed to verify its effect on traffic flow improvement and emission reduction at toll gate. We considered average vehicle speed, Relative Positive Acceleration (RPA), and the distance of queue as driving variables. Compared to passing Manual Toll Collection System (MTCS) lane without queue, ETCS was able to reduce 38.7% of $NO_x$, 21.6% of soot, and 27.7% of $CO_2$. The results showed that the higher the average vehicle speed, the lower RPA and no queue in ETCS contributed to the emission reductions. Linear equation models with RPA and queue have been established by the multiple linear regression method. The linear models resulted in the higher coefficient of determination than those with only average vehicle speed used for establishing vehicle emission factors.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the specific characteristics of combustion and exhaust emissions on a 4-cylinder common rail diesel engine as EGR rate and the rate of blended bio-diesel was altered. Bio-diesel fuel which is a sort of alternative fuels can be adapted to diesel engine directly without modifying. This study was performed to 2000rpm of engine speed with torque 30Nm while EGR rate and the rate of blended bio-diesel was changed. Decreasing combustion pressure and increasing the rate of heat were occurred when we had changed the EGR rate on the 20% of bio-diesel blended diesel fuel. The maximum pressure of combustion and the IMEP became higher as the EGR rate and the rate of blended bio-diesel were changed. Exhaust gas temperature was increased the higher rate of the blended bio-diesel under the fixed EGR rate. However, it went down as the EGR rate increased. The amounts of CO and Soot were reduced with increasing the rate of the blended bio-diesel without changing EGR rate and raised with increasing of the EGR rate. On the fixed EGR rate, NOx was increased along with growing the rate of the bio-diesel. On the other hand, it was decreased while EGR rate were going up.

자동차화재는 매년 5,000건 이상의 사고가 발생되며, 직접적인 피해 뿐 아니라 교통혼잡과 공해물질 배출 등 많은 2차적 손실을 가져온다. 최근에는 자동차 연료로서 휘발유에 에탄올을 섞는 것을 미국 등 여러 나라에서 상용화하고 있는데 이는 기존의 화석연료의 사용을 억제하고 바이오연료의 소비를 촉진시키기 위함이며, 향후 법제화를 통해 이러한 에탄올 함유량을 향후 더 크게 늘릴 예정이다. 본 연구에서는 에탄올을 혼합한 가솔린 연료를 사용하는 자동차의 엔진과 후처리 시스템 화재 위험성을 조사하기 위해 PSR로 모델링한 엔진에서 연소특성을 조사하였다. 에탄올 첨가 연료를 사용하는 경우에는 에탄올 분율이 증가하면 열적인 화재 가능성이 감소되었다. 또한, NOx와 CO 배출량이 감소하였지만, 미연탄화수소의 배출은 증가됨으로 예측되었다. 이러한 결과는 후처리 장치 중 기존의 삼원촉매의 경우에는 보다 저온이 예측되므로 열적인 화재발생이 감소한다고 예상되지만, 미연탄화수소의 증가로 후처리장치에 고온분위기가 형성되어야 하므로 화재의 위험성이 증가될 수 있다.

An experimental investigation of an early injection strategy was conducted on a small single cylinder common-rail DI diesel engine to reduce the oxides of nitrogen($NO_x$) emission. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the emissions, performance and combustion characteristics in a diesel engine with early and two-stage injections. The two- stage injection was conducted to reduce the wall-wetting of early injected fuels on the cylinder wall or to promote the ignition of premixed charge. The engine test was performed at conditions of 1500rpm, injection timing ranging from TDC to BTDC $80^{\circ}$. The experimental results show that $NO_x$ emissions were decreased in both cases of early injection and two stage injection compared to the conventional diesel combustion by the near TDC injection. However, soot and products of incomplete products (i.e. HC and CO) are slightly increased. Also, the second injection near TDC promoted the ignition of premixed fuel, therefore, IMEP was increased.

One of the effective ways to reduce both $NO_x$ and PM at the same time in a diesel CI engine is to operate the engine in low temperature combustion (LTC) regimes. In general, two strategies are used to realize the LTC operation-dilution controlled LTC and late injection LTC - and in this study, the former approach was used. In the dilution controlled regime, LTC is achieved by supplying a large amount of EGR to the cylinder. The significant EGR gas increases the heat capacity of in-cylinder charge mixture while decreasing oxygen concentration of the charge, activating low temperature oxidation reaction and lowering PM and $NO_x$ emissions. However, use of high EGR levels also deteriorates combustion efficiency and engine power output. Therefore, it is widely considered to use increased intake pressure as a way to resolve this issue. In this study, the effects of intake pressure variations on performance and emission characteristics of a single cylinder diesel engine operated in LTC regimes were examined. LTC operation was achieved in less than 8% $O_2$ concentration and thus a simultaneous reduction of both PM and $NO_x$ emission was confirmed. As intake pressure increased, combustion efficiency was improved so that THC and CO emissions were decreased. A shift of the peak Soot location was also observed to lower $O_2$ concentration while $NO_x$ levels were kept nearly zero. In addition, an elevation of intake pressure enhanced engine power output as well as indicated thermal efficiency in LTC regimes. All these results suggested that LTC operation range can be extended and emissions can be further reduced by adjusting intake pressure.
