The deactivated catalyzed diesel particulate filter-trap (DPF) was remanufactured by ultrasonic wave treatment with various prepared solutions, followed by active component re-impregnation, and the emission control performance and surface properties of remanufactured DPF were studied at various remanufacturing conditions. The proper ultrasonic wave cleaning time at various prepared solutions and optimal re-impregnation amounts of active component for the best emission control performance of DPF were investigated and its performance tests were also carried out with various temperatures for the conversions of CO, THC (total hydrocarbon) and PM (particulate matter) by catalytic reaction test unit using bypass gas from the diesel engine dynamo system. It was found that the emission control performance of DPF remanufactured with the high-temperature air washing, ultrasonic wave cleaning at acid/base solutions and active component re-impregnation method was recovered to 95% level of its activity compared to that of the fresh DPF, which was caused by removing the deactivating materials from the surface of the DPF, through the analyses of performance test and their surface characterization by Optical microscope, EDX, ICP, TGA, and porosimeter.

The objective of this work presented here was focused on analysis of particulate matter and nitrogen oxide characteristics in ESC test mode from heavy-duty diesel engine installed on-road vehicles applicable to prime propulsion engine for marine vessels. The authors confirmed that a large quantity particulate matter were emitted in high power density condition, nitrogen oxide characteristics were dependent on exhaust gas temperature. Particulate matters were reduced by 1/100~1/1,000 times in post DPF with test modes but filtration efficiency was decreased in the engine power fluctuation. In the case of the high speed and power condition, the exhaust level of particulate matters was increased according to increment of temperature of gas flowing into DPF. The orders of magnitude for particle concentration levels from the analysis of size distribution of particulate matters of test engine was different. Both emitting nano-sized particles below 100nm regardless of DPF and non-DPF.

The objective of this work presented here was experimental study of steadystate and cold start exhaust nano-sized particle characteristics from common rail diesel engine. The effect of the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) on the particle number reduction was insignificant, however, particle number concentration levels were reduced by 3 orders of magnitude into the downstream of diesel particulate filter (DPF). In high speed and load conditions, natural regeneration of trapped particle occurred inside DPF and it was referable to increase particle number concentration. As fuel injection timing was shifted BTDC $6^{\circ}CA$ to ATDC $4^{\circ}CA$, particle number concentration level was slightly reduced, however particle number and size was increased at ATDC $9^{\circ}CA$. Nucleation type particle reduced and accumulation type particle was increased on EGR condition.

The Effect of Space Velocity(SV) on NOx conversion rate was performed to develop NOx reduction after-treatment system. SV is calculated from engine exhaust gas volume and SCR catalyst volume. Found the Urea injection duty of maximum efficiency for NOx conversion if increase SV, NOx Conversion rate is down. Especially, when SV is more than $110,000h^{-1}$, NOx conversion rate decrease suddenly. Same case, if SV is lower than $40,000h^{-1}$, NOx conversion rate is down. Also, the characterization of Urea-SCR system was performed. Three candidate injectors for injecting Urea were tested in terms of 속 injection rate and NOx reduction rate. The performances of SCR catalytic converter on temperature were investigated. The performance of Urea-SCR system was estimated in the NEDC test cycle with and without EGR. It was found that nozzle type injector had high NOx conversion rate. SCR catalytic converter had the highest efficiency at the temperature of $350^{\circ}C$. EGR+Urea-SCR system achieved NOx reduction efficiency of 73% through the NEDC test cycle.

디젤 자동차는 가솔린 자동차에 비하여 연료소비효율이 높고, 경제성이 좋으며 고출력을 낼 수 있어 이에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있지만, 디젤엔진에서 배출되는 매연과 가스로 인한 오염도 심각한 수준에 달하였다. 엔진의 전자화, 고압분사기술등 여러 자동차 관련기술의 발달로 배출오염물질의 저감에 큰 발전을 이루어 왔으나, 계속적으로 강화되어지는 배출규제에 맞추기 위해서는 입자상 물질 후처리 장치의 개발이 가장 현실적인 대안으로 제기되고 있다. (중략)

To measure the traffic pollutants with high temporal and spatial resolution under real conditions, a mobile emission laboratory (MEL) was designed. The equipment of the mini-van provides gas phase measurements of CO, NOx, $CO_2$, THC (Total hydrocarbon) and number density & size distribution measurements of fine and ultra-fine particles by a fast mobility particle sizer (FMPS) and a condensation particle counter (CPC). The inlet sampling port above the bumper enables the chasing of different type of vehicles. This paper introduces the technical details of the MEL and presents data from the car chasing experiment of diesel bus equipped with aftertreatment system. The dilution ratio was calculated by the ratio of ambient NOx and tail-pipe NOx. Most particles from the diesel bus were counted under 300 nm and the peak concentration of the particles was located between 30 and 60 nm. The total PM number emission from diesel bus equipped with DPF was 10 orders of magnitude lower compared to those emitted from base diesel bus. And the total PM number emission from diesel bus equipped with SCR was comparable to the particle emission from base diesel bus.

In this study, we mainly focused on the PM (Particulate Matter) emission characteristics of a diesel engine. To analyze particle behavior in the tail-pipe, particle emission was measured on the engine-out (downstream of turbocharger), each upstream and downstream both of DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst) and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). Moreover, particle emission contours on each sampling point were constructed. The reduction efficiency of particle number concentration and mass through the DOC and DPF was studied. Parameters such as EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and the main injection timing were varied in part load conditions and evaluated using the engine-out emissions. The DMS500 (Differential Mobility Spectrometer) was used as a particle measurement instrument that can measure particle concentrations from 5 nm to 1000 nm. Nano-particles of sizes less than 30 nm were reduced by oxidation or coagulated with solid particles in the tail-pipe and DOC. The DPF has a very high filtration efficiency over all operating conditions except during natural regeneration of DPF.

최근 자동차 배기 가스에 대한 규제가 강화되고 있고, 특히 자동차 매연중 대젤 차량에 대한 배기 가스 저감이 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 이러한 배기 가스 규제에 대응하기 위하여 엔진의 여러 부위에 대한 설계변경이 이루어지고 있다. 설계변경의 대표적인 예로는 피스톤 탑 링(top piston ring)의 위치를 현재보다 위로 하고 피스톤과 라이너 사이의 간극을 좁게하여 크레비스 볼륨을 줄이거나, 연로 분사 시기 지연, 배기가스재순환(EGR, Exhaust Gas Recirculation)장치 등이 있다. 본 보고에서는 모사 실험 결과에 추가하여 엔진 시험을 수행함으로써 엔진유의 분산 특성및 산화안정성에 미치는 기유와 첨가제의 영향을 조사하였다.

경유엔진은 가솔린엔진에 비해 연소특성상 연료소비효율이 우수하여 온실가스인 $CO_2$ 배출이 적은 반면 대기 및 인체위해성이 높은 NOx와 입자상물질(PM)의 배출이 많아 대기저감을 위한 연료의 고압분사, 전자제어식 EGR기술등 엔진개량기술과 매연여과장치, De-NOx등 후처리기술 그리고 대체연료사용 기술등 다양한 저감대책이 전세계적으로 강구되고 있다. 특히 경유엔진에서 배출되는 오염물질로 인한 대기오염영향은 점차 증가하고 있어 대체연료사용 및 배출허용기준강화둥 우리 실정에 적합한 효율적인 대기저감대책이 강구되어야 할 것이다.

Regulations for the exhaust gas of diesel vehicles are being strengthened every year. Recently, diesel emission regulations for HC, CO, NOx, and particulate matter (PM) have been subject to very strict standards. In the future, the regulation of PM is expected to become stricter. Accordingly, diesel particulate filters (DPFs) have been applied to most diesel vehicles for PM reduction. With increasing engine mileage, ash and soot from the engine exhaust gas accumulate inside the DPF. This accumulation can damage the DPF or degrade engine performance. Therefore, efficient cleaning of the DPF is critical for the maintenance of the engine. If the DPF is well managed through regular cleaning, it can improve the power and fuel economy of the engine and reduce maintenance costs. Therefore, this study was performed to develop a high-efficiency cleaning method for DPFs and an apparatus that can more effectively clean out the accumulated ash and soot.
