Diesel vehicle is growing in importance in light-duty sector as a way of reducing greenhouse gases due to improved fuel economy. Carbon monoxide, gas-phase hydrocarbon and organic fraction of diesel particulates can be oxidized to harmless products using a diesel warm-up catalyst (WCC). This study investigated the effect of a turbocharger and a baffle on flow fields and temperature distributions in the WCC for Diesel vehicles by a numerical analysis. In the case of the WCC with the turbocharger, velocity vectors and temperatures of inlet of the WCC have the relatively homogeneous distributions by the swirl generated from the turbocharger. Velocity vectors and temperatures of inlet of the WCC with the turbocharger and the baffle have the improved distributions in homogeneity compared with the case of the WCC without the baffle. The homogeneous flow field and the temperature distribution in the WCC may contribute to improve the conversion performance of the catalysts.

A turbocharger is subjected to rapid temperature changes during thermal cyclic loads. In order to predict the thermo-mechanical failures, it's very important to estimate temperature distributions under the thermal shock test. This paper suggest the finite element techniques with the temperature histories, a constitutive material model and the mechanical constraints to calculate the thermal stresses and plastic strain distributions for the turbine housing. The first step was to develop a simple coupon approach to represent the failure mechanism of the classical design shapes and secondly applied the actual turbocharger to predict and validate the weak locations under the physical engine test.

This study was experimentally analyzed to improve the performance and to reduce exhaust emissions in a turbochaged D.I. diesel engine of the displacement 9.4L. In generally, the system of intake port, fuel injection and turbocharger are very important factors which have influence on the engine performance and exhaust emission because the properties in the injected fuel depend on the combustion characteristics. The optimum results which is tested as available factors fur better performance and emission are as follows; the swirl ratio is 2.43, compression ratio is 16, combustion bowl is $5^{\circ}$ re-entrant type, nozzle hole diameter is ${\phi}0.28*6$, injection timing is BTDC $13^{\circ}CA$ and turbocharger is GT40 model which are selected compressor A/R 0.58 and turbine A/R 1.19.

건설기계 산업에서 배기 및 연비 규제를 만족하기 위하여 엔진 시스템이 점차 전자제어화 되고 있으며, 이를 제어하기 위한 EMS(Engine Management System)의 복잡도 또한 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 EMS function 개발 시, 비용 및 개발기간의 단축을 위한 HiLS(Hardware in the Loop Simulation) 시스템을 개발하였다. HiLS 에 내장된 엔진 모델은 크게 Air, Fuel, Torque 및 동력계 모델로 구성되어있고 실시간 엔진 모사를 위하여 Mean value modeling 방법을 적용하였다. 이 연구를 통하여 개발한 HiLS 시스템은 EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation) 시스템과 Turbocharger 가 장착된 건설기계용 디젤엔진을 이용하여 정확성을 검증하였고, 테스트 결과 실 엔진 대비 90% 이상의 정확도를 얻었다.

The use of an Exhaust Gas Recirculation(EGR) for a diesel engine with variable geometry turbocharger(VGT) has confronted how to obtain the amount of EGR for NOx reduction requirement at wide operating range and less side effect. Through a combined effort of modeling(wave action simulation) and experiment, an investigation into the effect of EGR area ratio and pipe length on EGR characteristics of common rail diesel engine with VGT has been performed. For accurate computation, calibration of constants involved in empirical and semi-empirical correlations has been performed at a specific operating point, before of its use for engine simulation. From the results of this study, it was found that EGR rate is sharply increased with increasing EGR area ratio until area ratio of 0.3. However, the effect of EGR area ratio on EGR rate is negligible beyond this criteria. This study also investigates the effect of EGR pipe length on a EGR amount and pulsating flow characteristics at EGR junction. The results showed that the longer EGR pipe length, the lower EGR amount was achieved due to the flow loss resulting in lower amplitude of pressure wave.

The performance improvement and emission reduction in a turbocharged D.I. diesel engine was studied experimentally in this paper. The system of intake port, fuel injection and turbochager are very important factors which have influence on the engine performance and exhaust emission because the properties in the injected fuel depend on the combustion characteristics. Through these experiments it can be expected to meet performance and emission by optimizing the main parameters; the swirl ratio of intake port, fuel injection system and turbocharger. The swirl ratio of intake port was modified by hand-working and measured by impulse swirl meter. Through this steady flow test, we knew that the increase of swirl ratio is decreasing the mean flow coefficient, whereas the gulf factor is increasing. And the optimum results of engine performance and emission are as follows; the swirl ratio is 2.43, injection timing is BTDC 13。 CA, compression ratio is 16, combustion bowl is re-entrant 5$^{\circ}$, nozzle hole diameter is $\Phi$0.28＊6, turbocharger is GT40 model which are compressor A/R 0.58 AND turbine A/R 1.19.

This study researched on the effect of HP/LP-EGR system to improve fuel consumption of Low Temperature Combustion Engine. Firstly, low temperature combustion engine with HP/LP-EGR system was established using 6.0L wastegate turbocharger HDDI engine. And suppliable EGR rate of the engine was proven to be enough to realize stable low temperature combustion. Then, optimum operating strategy was founded to develop fuel consumption of the engine. Control parameters were HP/LP-EGR valve and IPCV(Intake Pressure Control Valve) duty. Experiments method was that characteristics of the engine were measured and analyzed according to HP/LP-EGR strategies while EGR rate was fixed. Operating range for the strategy were divided into three parts, low load for low temperature combustion, high load for conventional diesel combustion, and transient condition. Finally, with the above strategy of this study, BSFC of the engine was improved about 2% compared to the base engine, and emission level, NOx and PM, met Tier4Final emission regulation.

This paper presents the rotordynamic performance measurement of oil-free turbocharger (TC) supported on gas foil bearings (GFBs) for 2 liter class diesel vehicles and comparison to floating ring bearings (FRBs). Oil-free TC was designed and developed via the rotordynamic analyses using dynamic force coefficients from GFB analyses. The rotordynamics and performance of the oil-free TC was measured up to 85 krpm while being driven by a diesel vehicle engine, and compared to a commercial oil-lubricated TC supported on FRBs. The test results showed that the GFBs increased the rotor speed by ~ 20% at engine speeds of 1,500 rpm and 1,750 rpm, yielding the reduction of turbine input energy by more than 400 W. Incidentally, an external shock test on the oil-free TC casing was conducted at the rotor speed of 60 krpm, and showed a good capability of vibration damping due to the well-known dry friction mechanism of the GFBs.

The effects of high pressure and low pressure exhaust gas recirculation (HP/LP EGR) portion on diesel engine combustion and emissions characteristics were investigated in a 2.2 L passenger-car diesel engine. The po3rtion of HP/LP EGR was varied from 0 to 1 while fixing the mass flow rate of fresh air. The intake manifold temperature was lowered with the increasing of the portion of LP EGR, which led to the retardation of heat release by pilot injection. The lowered intake manifold temperature also resulted in low nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions due to decreased in-cylinder temperature and prolonged ignition delay, however, the carbon monoxide (CO) emission showed opposite trend to NOx emissions. The brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) was decreased as the portion of LP EGR increased due to lowered exhaust manifold pressure by wider open of turbocharger vane. Consequently, the trade-off relationship between NOx and BSFC could be improved by increasing the LP EGR portion.

본 논문에서는 터보차저 엔진에서 중요한 문제로 대두되는 응답 특성을 규명하고, 전 부하뿐만 아니라 빈번하게 운행되는 부분 부하 조건 하에서의 엔진 성능을 분석하고자 한다. 시험 결과 컴프레서의 압축비는 1260 rpm 까지는 직선 형태로 급격히 증가하고 이후에는 약 2.5 정도로 완만하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이때 제동 평균 유효 압력도 압축비에 따라 1260 rpm 까지는 직선적으로 급격하게 증가하다가 1600 rpm 이후부터는 급격히 감소하였다. 과급압이 증가될수록 연비, 공기 과잉률, 제동 평균 유효 압력이 향상되나 중저속 영역보다는 정격 회전수로 갈수록 높아지는 경향이 크게 나타나고 있다. 터보차저는 약 1260 rpm 에서부터 안정적으로 작동되는 것으로 나타났으며 저속 영역에서는 과급기의 특성상 효율이 낮게 나타났다. 이 연구의 결과는 터보차저 엔진의 안정적 부하와 속도 제어 방법에 응용할 수 있다.
