An experimental study was conducted to investigated the effect of refrigerant flow control on the performance of a variable-speed heat pump operating in both cooling and heating mode. For this purpose, cooling and heating capacity, EER and refrigerant mass flow rate corresponding to an electronic valve as well as a capillary tube were measured as functions of compressor speed, length of capillary tube (or valve opening of the electronic valve), refrigerant charge, and outdoor temperature. From the comparison of experimental results, it was found that the performance variation due to the electronic valve opening became significant as the operating conditions(outdoor temperature and compressor speed) deviated from the standard condition at which heating capacity and EER were rated for the indicated capillary tube.

An object of this study is to confirm the opening amount of the throttle valve that is begun the temperature separation of vortex tube for various engine speed and load condition in a common rail diesel engine. The vortex tube located at downstream of the exhaust manifold is a device separating the incoming exhaust gas to hot and cold stream. To find optimum separation efficiency of vortex tube, the opening amount of throttle valve has been investigated for various engine speed and load conditions. Engine speed was found that the influence of engine speed was dominant compared with that of engine load. As engine speed was increased, the throttle opening amount starting temperature separation was reduced.

The technique for measuring the rotational speed of tappet in direct acting type valve train system has been developed. The optic signal monitoring system with laser and optic fiber was designed to follow the signal of tappet rotation. The system was based on ON/OFF signal generation from the additional encoder teeth under the tappet with optic fibers attached photo transistor. The data showed that tappet rotation was affected by offset, oil temperature and cam shaft operating speed. Also it was found that tappet rotation increases with oil temperature. Tappet spin was delayed 10∼s20$^{\circ}$ cam angle after valve opening. The instantaneous rotational speed of tappet was reciprocal to cam shaft speed and the tappet and the cam angle ratio was located in the range of 0.1∼0.3.

A simulation model has been developed to predict the performance of 5-valve gasoline engine by gas exchange process with combustion model. In this study, we simulated the intake flow characteristics and performance of 5-valve engine with entwine speed and we compared the 5-valve engine performance with that of 4-valve engine. As a result. the calculated value was in consistency with the measured value relatively. The performance of 5-valve engine was higher than that of 4-valve engine in high engine speed region.

An experimental study was carried out to evaluate the characteristics of transient performance of carburettered gasoline engine under rapid accelerating transient driving conditions. In order to evaluate the characteristics of transient performance quantitatively, the concept of dead time $t_d$ response delay time $t_r$ are introduced. Performance parameters such as air mass fiowrate Gat, engine speed N, manifold boost pressure Pb, and output torque T are measured simultaneously during the rapid opening of the throttle valve by the stepping motor. During the rapid opening of the throttle valve, air mass fiowrate Gat is increased immediately without delay time, but response of engine revolution N, and output torque T are delayed. Therefore hesitation, and stumble phenomena are occurred. Dead time $t_d$ and response delay time $t_r$ of engine revolution N, which is extremely delayed comparing to other performance parameters, are respectively 0.2-0.3sec., 3.0-4.6sec., and dead time rate $t_d/{\Delta}t$ and response delay time rate $t_r/{\Delta}t$ are linearly increased with the throttle valve opening rate ${\theta}$ during the acceleration from 12 degree to 20 degree at 1250rpm.

The scavenging characteristics have a great influence on the performance of a diesel engine, especially slow-speed two-stroke diesel engines which are usually used as a marine propulsion power plant, and they are greatly affected by the conditions in the cylinder, intake and exhaust manifolds, and the opening and closing timing of scavenging ports or exhaust valves during the gas exchange process. Besides, there are many other factors to affect the scavenging characteristics and these factors interact each other very complicatedly. Therefore the simulation program of the gas exchange process is very useful to improve and predict the scavenging characteristics, due to the high costs associated with redesign and testing. In this paper it was attenpted to investigate the effect of the variation of the pressure ratio of intake to exhaust manifolds, and the variation of the opening and closing timing of a exhaust valve by using a computational program for a three-zone scavenging model which was developed by authors. The computed results showed that the scavenging efficiency and delivery ratio increased considerably, but the trapping efficiency decreased with increasing of the pressure ratio of intake to exhaust manifolds. The scavenging efficiency, trapping efficiency, and th conditions of the cylinder gases were affected by the opening timing of the exhaust valve, but the delivery ratio by the closing timing.

The flame patterns were investigated in an oscillating combustion burner equipped with a proportioning valve. The proportioning valve is driven by a solenoid and has an elastomer part which controls the valve opening area. For characterizing the valve, nozzle exit velocities were measured with a Hot Wire Anemometry. The flame patterns were investigated by direct photographing methods using a high speed camera and a digital camera. The results show that the nozzle exit velocities could be controlled diversely and rose up and fell down abruptly, so the valve seemed appropriate for the application for the oscillating combustion burner. Mushroom shaped and highly wrinkled flames were a typical features of the oscillating combustion burner. As the oscillating intensity of the fuel flow increased, the flame length was shortened.

In recent years, the study on the high efficiency of the internal combustion engine has been mainly proceeding. In this study, we developed rotary valve to achieve the improvement of volumetric efficiency and to be simple construction. And then made a comparative analysis between rotary and poppet valve. In this experiment, rotary valve enlarged the flow area of valve port to minimize the resistance of the fluid flow and to flow smoothly in intake and exhaust process. Indeed, valve timing was controlled properly lest positive pressure in exhaust process should affect intake process. Motoring and firing experiments were using engine speed and air-fuel ratio as the principle parameter and the full opening of throttle valve and minimum spark advance for best torque (MBT) as engine operating variables.

The flame patterns were investigated in an oscillating combustion burner equipped with a specially designed proportioning valve. The proportioning valve is driven by a solenoid and has an elastomer part which controls the valve opening area. For characterizing the valve, nozzle exit velocities were measured with a hot wire anemometry. The flame patterns were investigated by direct photographing methods using a high speed camera and a digital camera. The results show that the nozzle exit velocities could be controlled diversely and rapidly changed, so the valve seemed appropriate for the oscillating combustion burner application. Mushroom shape and highly wrinkled structure were typical features of the flames in the oscillating combustion burner. As the oscillating intensity of the fuel flow increased, the flame length was shortened.

Adaptive valve timing control is one of the promising techniques to accomplish the optimized mixture formation and combustion depending on the load and speed, which is needed to meet the future challenges in reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. The behavior and the effect of adaptive valve timing control system has been investigated by computer simulation, which simulates the gas dynamics in engines. Improved fuel economy can be achieved by reduction of pumping loss under low and mid load conditions. EIVC(Early Intake Valve Closing) strategy turns out to be superior to LIVC(Late Intake Valve Closing) strategy in reducing fuel consumption. Deterioration of combustion quality can be overcome by introducing LIVO(Late Intake Valve Opening) strategy, which increases turbulent intensity in cylinders. Furthermore, LIVO can reduce HC emission by decreasing the required amount of fuel to be injected during cold start.
