Finding an alternative fuel and reducing environmental pollution are the main goals for future internal combustion engines. The purpose of this study is to obtain low-emission and high-efficiency by hydrogen enriched LPG fuel in a LPG engine. An experimental study was carried out to obtain fundamental data for the emit HC emission characteristics at cold start of pre-mixed LPG and hydrogen in a LPG engine with various fractions of hydrogen-LPG blends. To maintain equal volume ratio of fuel blend, the amount of HC was decreased as hydrogen was gradually added. The results showed that as hydrogen increases, in-cylinder pressure increased. Also emission of unburned hydrocarbon (HC) is sharply decreased.

The purpose of this study is to obtain low-emission and high-efficiency by hydrogen enriched LPG fuel in LPG engine and is to clarify the effects of hydrogen enrichment in LPG fuelled engine on exhaust emission and performance. An experimental study was carried out to obtain fundamental data for performance and emission characteristics of hydrogen enrichment in LPG engine. The research was held by changing the hydrogen ratio to 0, 5, 10, 20% in 1500rpm, bmep 2 and 4bar. The result turned out that the combustion duration was shortened due to fast flame propagation of hydrogen. And the amount of Carbon dioxide and Hydrocarbon decreased. However, the amount of NOX increased, which is thought to be the result of high adiabatic flame temperature of hydrogen. It has been confirmed that this phenomenon has changed by the Hydrogen mixing ratio.

Finding an alternative fuel and reducing environmental pollution are the main goals for future internal combustion engines. The purpose of this study is to obtain low-emission and high-efficiency by hydrogen enriched LPG fuel in constant volume chamber. An experimental study was carried out to obtain fundamental data for the combustion and emission characteristics of pre-mixed hydrogen and LPG in a constant volume chamber (CVC) with various fractions of hydrogen-LPG blends. To maintain equal heating value of fuel blend, the amount of LPG was decreased as hydrogen was gradually added. Exhaust emissions were measured using a HORIBA exhaust gas analyzer for various fractions of hydrogen-LPG blends. The results showed that the rapid combustion duration was shortened, and the rate of heat release elevated as the hydrogen fraction in the fuel blend was increased. Moreover, the maximum rate of pressure rise also increased. These phenomena were attributed to the burning velocity which increased exponentially with the increased hydrogen fraction in the $H_2$-LPG fuel blend. Exhaust HC and $CO_2$ concentrations decreased, while NOX emission increased with an increase in the hydrogen fraction in the fuel blend. Our results could facilitate the application of hydrogen and LPG as a fuel in the current fossil hydrocarbon-based economy and the strict emission regulations in internal combustion engines.

본 연구에서는 수소 복합충전소에 대하여 정량적 위험성 평가를 실시하였다. 평가대상의 복합충전소는 수소-LPG이며 각 충전소의 설비 구성을 분석하고 위험도를 평가하였다. 최종 위험도는 피해영향과 사고빈도를 고려한 개인적 위험성과 사회적 위험성으로 평가한다. 본 연구의 대상이 된 수소-LPG 충전소에 대한 개인적 위험도 산출 결과, 수소-LPG 형태의 복합충전소는 HSE에서 제안하고 있는 허용 불가수준의 위험지역(> 1×10E-3)은 나타나고 있지 않으며, 작업자와 일반인에 대한 개인적 위험수준이 모두 허용범위 내에 분포하고 있다. 그리고 사회적 위험도 평가에서는 해석대상 모델이 허용 가능한 범위(ALARP, As Low As Reasonably Practicable)의 위험도 분포를 보이고 있다. 보다 향상된 안전성 확보를 위해 위험도 순위화 결과에서 높은 위험도를 보이고 있는 수소 저장용기, 디스펜서, 튜브트레일러 누출 및 LPG의 Vapour 회수 라인 등에 대한 정기적인 점검 및 확인을 권장한다.

The concept of hydrogen enriched LPG fuelled engine can be essentially characterized as low emissions and reduction of backfire for hydrogen engine. The purpose of study is obtaining low-emission and high-efficiency in LPG engine with hydrogen enrichment. In order to determine the ideal compression ratio, a variable compression ratio single cylinder engine was developed. The objective of this paper is to clarify the effects of hydrogen enriched LPG fuelled engine on exhaust emission, thermal efficiency and performance. The compression ratio of 8 was selected to minimize abnormal combustion. To maintain equal heating value, the amount of LPG was decreased, and hydrogen was gradually added. In a similar manner, the relative air-fuel ratio was increased from 0.8 to 1.3 in increment of 0.1, and the ignition timing was controlled to be at MBT each case.

The purpose of study is to obtain low-emission and high-efficiency in LPG engine with hydrogen enrichment. The test engine was named heavy-duty variable compression ratio single cylinder engine (VCSCE). The fuel supply system provides LPG/hydrogen mixtures based on same heating value. Various sensors such as crank shaft position sensor (CPS) and hall sensor supply spark timing data to ignition controller. Displacement of VCSCE is $1858.2cm^3$. VCSCE was runned 1400rpm with compression ratio 8. Spark timing was set MBT without knocking. Relative air-fuel ratio(${\lambda}$) of this work was varied between 0.76 and 1.5. As a result, i) Maximum thermal efficiency occurred at ${\lambda}$ value 1.0. It was shown that thermal efficiency was increased approximately 5% with hydrogen enrichment at same ${\lambda}$ value. ii) Engine-out carbon monoxide (CO) emissions were decreased at a great rate under LPG/hydrogen mixture fuelling. iii) Total hydrocarbon (THC) emission was much exhausted in rich zone, same as CO. But THC was exhausted a little bit more in lean zone. iv) Finally, engine-out oxides of nitrogen (NOx) was increased with ${\lambda}$ value 1.0 zone at a greater rate with hydrogen enrichment due to high adiabatic flame temperature.

본 연구에서는 LPG자동차용으로 적용키 위한 플라즈마 개질에서 개질기 형상변화가 개질 특성에 미치는 영향에 대해 실험을 하였다. 수소 수율을 향상시키기 위해, 2차 개질기는 1차 개질기에 비해서 개질기 후단부의 부피를 증가시켜 플라즈마를 통과하는 개질가스의 반응시간을 증가시켰다. 각 개질기의 비교를 위하여 $O_2/C$ 비를 부분산화 조건에서부터 완전산화 조건까지, 총 유량은 20, 30, 40, 50 lpm으로 증가시키며 실험을 하였다. 각 개질기의 특성을 비교해본 결과, $O_2/C$ 비가 부분산화 조건에서 완전산화 조건으로 갈수록 LPG 전환율은 증가하였고, 수소 선택도는 감소하였으며, 수소 수율은 증가하다 감소하는 최적조건이 존재하였다. 개질기는 4.5배 부피가 큰 2차 개질기가 1차 개질기에 비해 동일 유량에서 수소 수율이 4~14% 증가한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

화석연료의 의존도를 줄이고자 대체에너지 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있는 현재, 산업에서 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 대체에너지 중 하나가 수소이다. 수소의 수요는 매년 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며, 수소의 생산 및 이송을 위한 설비도 늘어나고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따른 수소설비에서 중대사고가 발생할 확률 또한 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 또한 산업현장에서 가장 사고를 많이 초래하는 물질은 LPG 61%, 수소 12%, LNG 10%로 세 가지 가연성가스의 사고 빈도는 높은 축에 속한다. 따라서 산업용으로 많이 사용되며 사고다발성 가연성 가스인 수소, LNG, LPG가 제한된 공간에서 폭발했을 때의 폭발위험성에 대하여 CFD 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 계산을 하였고, 그 결과들을 기반으로 비교분석하여, 제한된 공간에서의 각 가스별 폭발에 대한 위험성을 검토하였다.
