This paper describes an investigation of the performance and emission characteristics of a commercial cylinder direct injection diesel engine operating on natural gas with pilot diesel ignition. Engine tests for variations in the pilot injection timing were performed at an engine speed of 1500 rpm. This study showed that the performance of the dual-fuel diesel engine increased as the engine load increased and as the pilot diesel injection timing angle advanced. The peaks of cylinder pressure, pressure rise rate, and heat release rate all increased while the fuel ignition timing advanced with the pilot injection timing. The engine operation was stable, and the least smoke was produced at a pilot injection timing of $12^{\circ}$ before top dead center. NOx emissions were only exhausted under high-load conditions, and they increased as the pilot injection timing angle advanced.

In order to clarify the characteristics of soot formation and oxidation in-cylinder of a diesel engine, it is necessary to diagnose accurately for combustion of in-cylinder. The past techniques for soot measurement have limitations in providing the characteristics of soot in a diesel engine, whereas, laser-based 2D imaging diagnostics have the potential to provide better temporally and spatially resolved measurements of the soot distribution. We rebuilt an optically accessible diesel engine which is similar to the conditions of a conventional engine and tried to measure soot distribution in a cylinder of the diesel engine using laser induced scattering(LIS) and laser induced incandescence(LII). Some results were acquired in this study. LIS and LII signal that show soot distribution of a in-cylinder were taken by ICCD properly. The signal of LIS was intenser than that of LII. Although they have some differences of signal intensity in early combusion period, both of signals show that they are generally similar in late combustion period, after ATDC 50 degree.

Biodiesel is technically competitive with or offers technical advantages over conventional petroleum diesel fuel. Biodiesel is an environmentally friendly alternative liquid fuel that can be used in any diesel engine without modification. In this study, to investigate the effect of fuel injection timing on the characteristics of performance with DBF in DI diesel engine. The engine was operated at five different fuel injection timings from BTDC $6^{\circ}$ to $14^{\circ}$ at $2^{\circ}$ intervals and four loads at engine speed of 1800rpm. As a result of experiments in a test engine, maximum cylinder pressure is increased with leading fuel injection timing. Specific fuel oil consumption is indicated the least value at BTDC $14^{\circ}$ of fuel injection timing.

In this study, the characteristics of NOx reduction by using charge air moisturizer system were evaluated by engine performance simulation in medium speed diesel engines. The results of performance simulation were verified by experimental results of single cylinder medium speed diesel engine equipped with charge air moisturizer system. Performance simulation was carried out to evaluate charge air moisturizer system of turbocharged diesel engine, HYUNDAI HiMSEN 9H25/33 engine. Those results show 50% NOx reduction at dew point $80^{\circ}C$ and charge air pressure 4bar.

Air pollutants from a small marine diesel engine are increasing and the IMO(International Marine Organization) regulation asked for its reduction. In this study, NOx reduction technologies such as improvement of various cooling systems are applied to the small marine diesel engine. The various cooling systems are a intercooler, a heat exchanger for engine coolant, and an exhaust manifold by water cooling. These systems are tested on an engine dynamometer and a exhaust gas analyzer by a marine diesel engine test regulation. Test results are shows that the small marine engine are satisfied the IMO NOx regulations; Tire II.

The electronically controlled diesel engine was converted to dual fuel engine system. Test engine was set up for investigating the power output, thermal efficiency and emissions. ND 13-mode tests were employed for the engine test cycle. The emission result of dual fuel mode meets Euro-4 (K2006) regulation and the engine performance of dual fuel engine was comparable to the performance of diesel engine. To estimate economical efficiency, test vehicles have been operated on a certain driving route repeatedly. Fuel economy, maximum driving distance per refueling and driveability were examined on the road including free ways. Developed vehicle can be operated over 500 km with dual fuel mode and shows 80% of diesel substitution ratio. Driveability of dual fuel mode is similar with that of diesel mode.

In this study, using frying oil, performance of engine and emission concentration were compared with the case of using diesel oil. And results are as follows. 1. Engine torque and brake horse power indicate nearly same value as the case of using diesel fuel. 2. Temperature of exhaust gas was increased with as high engine speed and load. 3. To reduce concentration of hydrocarbon, it is effective to operate using used frying oil in low engine speed and load, and adding LPG in high engine speed and load. 4. Concerning with concentration of carbon mono oxide and smoke emission, it was assured, that as engine load increased, lower concentration emitted in case of utilizing mixed fuel than that of utilizing pure diesel fuel.

Turbocompounding is a key technology to satisfy the future requirements of diesel engine's fuel economy and emission reduction. A turbocompound diesel engine was developed based on a conventional 11-Liter heavy-duty diesel engine. The turbocompound system includes a power turbine, which is installed downstream of a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) turbine. The impacts of the VGT rack position on the turbocompound engine performance were studied. An optimal VGT control strategy was determined. Experimental results show that the turbocompound engine using the optimal VGT control strategy achieves better performance than the original engine under all full load operation conditions. The averaged and maximum reductions of the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) are 3% and 8% respectively.

An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the viscosity characteristics of multi-grade engine oils in which contain diesel fuels. Unused engine oils of SAE 5W40, 10W40 and 15W40 were blended with a diesel fuel ratio of 5%, 10%, and 15%. The viscosity of a diluted engine oil was measured with temperature variation ranging from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $120^{\circ}C$ using a rotary viscometer. The diluted engine oil in which is blended to a diesel fuel plays an important role for decreasing an engine oil viscosity, which may decrease the oil film thickness and a load-carrying capacity. Test results show that the viscosity tends to fall for the increased temperature when engine oil is mixed with a diesel fuel. Especially, the viscosity at a low temperature zone is radically decreased compared with a high temperature zone. Based on the experimental results, the empirical equation that can predict the viscosity of diluted engine oil is expressed in the exponential function with the variation of the temperature and a fuel ratio of diluted engine oil. This equation may be possible to predict the limitation of the oil-fuel dilution rate at the concept design stage of the CDPF system, which doesn't affect the influence of the tribological components.

Diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been developed to optimize engine out emission, especially particulate matter (PM). One of the main important factors for developing the DPF is estimation of soot mass being accumulated inside the DPF. Evaluation of pressure drop over the DPF is a simple way to estimate the accumulated soot mass but its accuracy is known to be limited to certain vehicle operating conditions. The method to compensate drawback is adoption of integrating time history of the engine out PM and burning soot. Present study demonstrates current status of the soot estimation methods including the results from the engine test benches and vehicles.
