As a promising catalyst reducing cold start emissions of automobiles, a photocatalyst systems has been studied. Since the photocatalyst is only activated by UV wavelength light, it needs no heat energy like a conventional TWC, therefore no light-off time. However, as a cold temperature catalyst to treat cold start emissions of a vehicle, previous studies on characteristic of photocatalyst have room for improvement in terms of performance and durability investigated from the viewpoints of performance and durability improvement. Eleven different coating samples were prepared with the combination of six kinds of additives and two kinds of photocatalyst materials. Then these samples were aged with a hydrothermal aging process. The performance of these samples was measured on a model gas apparatus with simulated exhaust gases. The durability was also analyzed with X-ray diffraction meter.

Recently, fuel reforming technology for the fuel cell vehicle has been applied to internal combustion engines, with various purpose. Syngas which is reformed from fossil fuel has hydrogen as a major component. It has better effort in combustion characteristics such as wide flammability and hig speed flame propagation. In this study, syngas was added to a gasoline engine for the improvement of combustion stability and exhaust emission in idle state. Combustion stability, exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and exhaust gas temperature were measured to investigate the effects of syngas addition on idle performance. Results showed that syngas has ability to extend lean operation limit and ignition retard range. with dramatical reduction of engine out emissions.

Growing environmental and economic concerns have lead to recent efforts to produce more fuel efficient and lower emissions vehicles. Hybrid Electric Vehicles(ab. HEVs) are the most promising designs to reach these goals. In this paper, We present an of a Power Tra the Hybrid Electric Vehicle(at. PTHEV). We int a different concept of PTHEV than in the pr research of PTHEV. This PTHEV includes benefits of serial(Minimum emission and Max efficiency) and parallel(Maximum Power efficiency by direct drive engine) PTHEV. Also mechanism can avoid driving the engine in the speed regions.

HMC has developed the lean burn system with alpha 4-valve into domestic market in the end of 1997. In a viewpoint of saving energy and prevention of global warming (CO2 reduction), the lean burn system has recently attracted a considerable attentions in gasoline engines. There has been, however, difficulty in extending LML(Lean Misfire Limit) enough to meet the emission regulations and satisfaction of driveability. In this paper some descriptions will be given upon the new technology of lean bum engine which will be installed in Accent, especially the improvement of the combustion, the development of engine management system such as intake system and wide range air fuel control strategy, and the result of vehicle test.

Currently, many studies on green ships are under way. Fuel cell (FC) ships are of interest as future low-emission, fuel-efficient vessels. In this paper, a hybrid power management system for an FC ship was designed. The system consists of an FC, a battery, a unidirectional DC/DC converter, a bidirectional DC/DC converter, a filter, an inverter, and a propulsion component. To design the system, we analyze electric sources and converters, and create PLECS models of hybrid power management system. Then, we check the cold start sequence and perform a simulation to understand the characteristics of the hybrid power management system in an FC ship.

In this paper, the performance of wet type filter for diesel engine combustion air has been studied with effects of air temperature, humidity, and pressure. After experiments are performed without diesel engine, it has been investigated the applicability to diesel engine. Wet type filter for diesel engine combustion air had advantages that it is not necessary to change air filter and that engine exhaust gas is environmentally friendly due to low NOx and particulate emission. Also, the filtration performance has been carried out with smoke shell.

This paper describes a design of LIN MCU using efficient memory accessing architecture which provides concurrent data and address fetch for faster communication. By using slew rate control it can reduce EMI emission while satisfying required communication specifications. To verify the efficiency of the LIN MCU, we developed a SoC and tested for several data packets. Measurements show that this LIN MCU improves network efficiency up to 17.19 % and response time up to 31.26 % for nominal cases. EMI radiation also can be reduced up to 10 dB.

Advanced Railway countries are developing technologies of production and management for low-carbon and green growth of their railway industry to hold a dominant position under post-Tokyo protocol regime through integrated approach which uses environmental quantitative analysis of train life cycle by using LCA(Life Cycle Assessment). On the contrary, Korea railroad industry attempts to make an environmental improvement only for using regenerative energy and improvement in operating energy consumption through adapting reduction weight of material technology and etc. without systematic environmental analysis approaches such as comparing and analyzing energy consumption as well as GHG emission in each life cycle stages of train. Therefore, In this paper, low-carbon management and comprehensive environmental improvement for sustainable development of Korea railway industry through analyzing the result of life cycle analysis in abroad are suggested.

In modern manufacturing industry such as aerospace, vehicle and die/mold industry, the high hardness malarial which is remarkable in aspects of durability is effectively used. The high-speed and precision machining technology has been applied in these fields. In this study, efficient sensors in high-speed machining by observing similar tendency through comparing cutting force with AE signal, gap sensor signal and accelerometer signal are selected, and machinability of high-speed machining is experimentally evaluated. We performed a basic research for sensing system construction to monitor a machine tool and machining condition.

본 논문에서는 전기자동차의 인버터-전동기 연결 구성에 따른 전도성 잡음 특성에 대해 분석 하였다. 인버터와 전동기를 연결하는 케이블은 임피던스를 가지고 있으며, 케이블 길이별 특성 시뮬레이션에서 주파수에 따른 임피던스가 다르게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 특성을 고려하기 위해, 인버터와 전동기를 연결하는 케이블 길이에 차이를 두어 시뮬레이션을 진행 하였으며, 인버터 전동기가 일체화되어 케이블 없이 부스바(Busbar)로 연결된 형태에 대해서도 시뮬레이션을 진행 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과에서 Busbar 형태 및 케이블 길이에 따른 전도성 잡음의 변화는 거의 없는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
