Due to persist of high oil prices, LPG price stabilization and CNG modification project will be conducted. Present study describes the fuel efficiency and $CO_2$ emission characteristics on driving cycle mode and ignition advance condition change of CNG/LPG Bi-Fuel vehicle. In case of LPG Base and CNG Base condition, considerable $CO_2$ emissions are generated within range of high acceleration on FTP-75 and HWFET driving mode. However previous phenomena does not appear in CNG fuel $10^{\circ}CA$ and $15^{\circ}CA$ spark advance condition. As a result of analyzing the experimental data CNG $S/A10^{\circ}CA$, CNG $S/A15^{\circ}CA$, CNG Base, and LPG Base sequentially measured high fuel economy and low $CO_2$ emission characteristics.

Lean burn engine, classified into port injection and direct injection, is recognized as a promising way to meet better fuel economy. Especially, LPG direct injection engine is becoming increasingly popular due to their potential for improved fuel economy and emissions. Also, LPDi engine has the advantages of higher power output, higher thermal efficiency, higher EGR tolerance due to the operation characteristics of increased volumetric efficiency, compression ratio and ultra-lean combustion scheme. However, LPDi engine has many difficulties to be solved, such as complexity of injection control mode (fuel injection timing, injection rate), fuel injection pressure, spark timing, unburned hydrocarbon and restricted power. This study is investigated to the influence of spark timing, fuel injection position and fuel injection rate on the combustion stability of LPDi engine. Piston shape is constituted the bowl type piston. The characteristics of combustion is analyzed with the variations of spark timing, fuel injection position and fuel injection rate (early injection, late injection) in a LPDi engine.

천연가스는 기존 내연기관의 구조를 크게 변경시키지 않고도 사용이 가능하며, 저공해성, 안전성, 내구성 등에 있어서 우수한 특성을 가지고 있고, 매장량이 풍부하다는 점에서 자동차용 대체연료로서 유망시 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 가솔린 기관을 CNG 전용기관으로 개조한 후, 공연비, 점화시기 등과 같은 기관 운전조건들을 최적화한 CNG전용기관을 기존 가솔린차량에 탑재하여, 샤시동력계상에서 연료소비량 및 배기배출물 농도를 측정·비교하였다. 또한, 실도로상에서 가속성, 운전성 등의 차량 주행특성에 대해서도 평가하였다. 그 결과, 시작 CNG차량의 경우에는 가솔린 차량에 비하여 연비는 향상되었고 배기배출물은 저감되었으나 출력은 약간 감소되었다.

Recently, the internal combustion engines have focused on reducing the $CO_2$ gas in order to cope with severe regulations for fuel economy. Therefore, various new technologies have been developed. Among them, cooling system is spotlighted because it has great effect on fuel economy. In this study, we measured the friction losses of engine parts according to engine speed and oil temperature. We also obtained optimized oil temperature which has the minimum friction losses. Then, we selected optimized oil temperature range and gave informations of friction losses for each engine parts. In addition, we analyzed relationship between coolant temperature and oil temperature by using engine performance test system. From this experiment, we obtained the database for relationship between coolant temperature and oil temperature. Then, we found the optimal temperature about engine oil. We analyzed BSFC and exhaust emissions by controlling the high coolant temperture. If we controlled coolant temperature more higher, BSFC has a little difference but exhaust emissions such as THC and CO have reduced. By using these experimental results, we predicted that IC engine have more low fuel consumption and exhaust emissions by optimized cooling control strategy.

대형 디젤 엔진에서 NOx, Smoke 등의 배기가스 저감과 연비를 개선하는 것은 주요한 개발 목표이다. 이 목표를 달성하기 위한 다양한 방식 중 연료를 분할하여 분사하는 다단 분사 전략은 주요하게 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 조건의 다단분사 전략을 적용하여 배기가스, 연비 그리고 연소 소음 관점에서 최적의 성능을 확보할 수 있는 조건을 확인하여 개선정도를 확인하고자 하였다. 1단 파일럿 적용 시, 단일 분사 대비 NOx 저감이 가능한 영역이 있으나, Smoke가 악화되는 문제가 확인되었다. 2단 파일럿 적용 시, 최대 NOx와 Smoke를 각각 73%, 84%까지 저감할 수 있었다. 연소 소음은 최대 압력 상승률 분석을 통해, 또한 연료소비율은 도시 연료 소비율을 계산하여 단일 분사와 비교하여 개선수준을 평가하였다. 이를 통해 15%:15% 2단 파일럿 전략 적용 시, 단일 분사 대비 NOx 32.9%, Smoke 60.4%, 연비 1.95%, 연소소음 19.3%의 개선을 이룰 수 있음을 확인하였다. 향후, 본 연구 결과를 기반으로 운전 영역을 확장하여 각 조건에서의 최적 연료 분사 방식 도출을 통해 전체적인 성능개선을 구현하고자 한다.

This study effect of engine oils on regulated fuel economy and emissions including particulate matter (PM) to provide basic data for management of engine oil in vehicles. Three engine oils (Group III base oil, Group III genuine oil with additive package and synthetic oil with poly alpha olefins (PAOs)) were used in one gasoline, one LPG(liquefied petroleum gas) and two diesel vehicles. In the case of diesel vehicles, one is a diesel vehicle without DPF (diesel particulate filter) other is a diesel vehicle with DPF. In this study, the US EPA emission test cycle FTP-75, representing city driving, was used. HORIBA, PIERBURG, and AVL gas analyzers were used to measure the fuel economy and regulated emissions such as CO, NOx, and THC. The number of PM was measured using a PPS (pegasor particle sensor). And, the shape of PMs was analyzed by SEM (scanning electron microscope). The effects of oil type on fuel economy, exhaust gas, and PM were not significant because engine oil consumption by evaporation and combustion in the cylinder is very tiny. Fuel and vehicle type were dominant factors in fuel economy and emissions. HC emission from gasoline vehicles was higher than that from other vehicles and NOx emission from diesel vehicles was higher than that from other vehicles. The number of PM was not affected by the engine oil, but by the driving pattern and fuel. The shapes of the PM, sampled from each vehicle using any test engine oil, were similar.

EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) is considered as a most effective method to reduce the NOx emissions. But high EGR tolerance is always pursued not only for its advantages of the pumping loss reduction and fuel economy benefit in Gasoline-Hybrid engine. However, the occurrence of excessive cyclic variation with high EGR normally prevents substantial fuel economy improvements from being achieved in practice. Therefore, the optimum EGR rate should be carefully determined in order to achieve low fuel consumption and low exhaust emission. In this study, 2 liters gasoline engine with E-EGR system was used to investigate the effects of EGR on fuel efficiency, combustion stability, engine performance and exhaust emissions. With optimal EGR rates, the fuel consumption was improved by 4%. This improvement was achieved while a reduction in NOx emissions of 75% was accomplished. Increase of EGR gas temperature causes the charge air temperature to affect the knock phenomenon and moreover, the EGR valve lift changes for the same control signal.

Most of the motorcycle engines have used carburetors in the fuel system, because of its simple structure and reliability but the fuel economy and the emissions of those engines are bad when we compared with automobile engines .To meet with the tighten emission regulations and the higher requirements for fuel economy, the application of the carburetor on the motorcycle engines would be limited. Therefore, it is important to develope a ECU control system for motorcycle engines. Since the fuel injection system is expensive, it is necessary to decrease the cost of ECU system for motorcycle engines, but the accuracy of the ECU control system should be increased as high as possible. In this paper, we studied about the AFS characteristics of motorcycle engine controled by indirect method.

현재 자동차의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 가장 착실한 엔진은 수소를 이용한 연료 전지라고 판단된다. 연료전지는 화학적 에너지를 전기적 에너지로 직접 변환하는 장치이다. 순수한 연료전지 차량과 연료전지 하이브리드 차량을 비교 분석하였다. 연료전지 하이브리드 차량에서 고려하여야할 점은 효율, 연료경제성, 출력 특성 등이 있다. FUDS 싸이클 시뮬레이션 비교를 하면 하이브리드화가 순수 연료전지 차량 보다 효율이 높다. 이는 회생 제동 에너지를 이용할 수 있으며 battery를 이용하여 연료전지를 효율적인 영역에서 작동하게 할 수 있기 때문이다. Life cycle 비용은 연료전지의 크기, 연료전지의 가격, 수소의 가격 등에 지배적인 영향을 받는다. 연료전지의 가격이 고가이면 하이브리드화가 유리하나, 연료전지의 가격이 400$/kW 이하가 되면 순수한 연료전지 자동차가 비용면에서 유리 하다.
