To suppress the bubble generated in the liquid LPG direct injector is the most important to develop the LPDi engine. It was found in the previous study that bubbling phenomenon in the injector of the LPDi engine is decisively influenced by pressure of fuel and temperature around the injector. Therefore, in this study, the effect on suppressing the bubbling in the LPDi injector by high pressurization of fuel is analyzed and the spray characteristics are also studied. As a result, it is found that the bubbling in the LPDi injector is radically suppressed when the pressure of fuel is over 50MPa. The bubbling is suppressed when the pressure of fuel is over 3MPa if the inserted position of the injector is considered. Also, it is confirmed that the higher the pressure of fuel is the longer spray tip penetration and is the larger spray angle. As the ambient pressure increases, spray tip penetration decreases and spray angle increases due to the increase of drag force.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of gasoline fuel to the LPI engine. Firing test bench was used in order to assess the effect on gasoline-injected LPI engine. Gasoline fuel was supplied into the reverse direction(3-4-2-1 cylinder) at 3.0 bar with commercial gasoline fuel pump. Engine test was performed using the firing test mode at end of line. The deviations of excess air ratio of each cylinder and maximum combustion pressure using gasoline fuel were within 0.1 and $1{\sim}2\;bar$. Engine start time was measured with changing coolant temperature at $20^{\circ}C,\;40^{\circ}C,\;80^{\circ}C$, respectively. Residual gasoline volume in the fuel line was measured about 32 cc after firing test and it was less than 2 cc within 10 seconds purging. To simulate the end of line, the residual gasoline in the fuel line was purged during 5 and 10 seconds. Start time of LPI engine with LPG fuel were 0.61 and 0.58 seconds. This work showed that severe problems such as misfiring and liner scuffing were not occurred applying gasoline fuel to LPI engine.

지구온난화와 화석연료 고갈 문제의 해결을 위하여 대체 연료 개발에 많은 노력을 하고 있다. 암모니아(NH3)는 수소와 마찬가지로 탄소를 포함하고 있지 않으면서 대표적인 수소 캐리어이다. 또한, 상온에서 0.6 MPa 정도의 압력을 가하면 액상을 유지할 수 있어 LPG 충전인프라를 그대로 사용가능한 장점이 있다. 본 연구는 암모니아를 가솔린과 함께 혼소시켰으며, 혼소 비율에 따른 엔진 성능을 비교하였다. 암모니아와 가솔린의 혼소를 위하여 가솔린 인젝터와 암모니아용 인젝터를 각각 사용하였으며, 암모니아는 액상으로 분사시켰다. 암모니아-가솔린 혼소 엔진의 최대 장점은 가솔린 대체량에 비례하여 이산화탄소 배출량을 크 게 감소시킬 수 있다는 것이다. 하지만 암모니아-가솔린 혼소율에 따라 연소가 불안정한 구간이 있었으며, 암모니아 혼소 비율 0.7 이상에서는 연소 불안정성 증가로 인해 토크와 NOx 배출량이 감소하고, THC 배출량이 급증하였다.
