본 연구에서는 양산중인 배기량 2.4Liter, 간접분사방식의 소형 디젤엔진에서 연소방식을 직접 분사방식으로 연소계를 재설계하여, 간접분사방식과 직접분사방식에 따른 엔진성능상의 차이점을 비교 평가하고, 아울러 직접분사방식에서 연소실 형상과 연소 관련 주요 인자들의 변경시 엔 진성은에 미치는 영향에 대해 고찰하였다. 직접분사방식 엔진은 간접분사방식 엔진에 대해 동 일출력, 동일 Smoke 수준인 경우 10-15%의 연료소비 저감의 효과가 있고, 이에 따라 연소관련 부품의 열부하면에서도 유리하였으나, 소음 및 NOx 배출은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 직접분사 연소방식에서는 Deep Bowl 연소실 형태의 Cylindrical Type 과 Re-entrant Type 에서 연비와 Smoke 등을 고려한 최적 분사시기가 Re-entrant Type 에서 4.deg. CA정도 늦었으며, 각기 최적 분사시기에서 스옴, NOx를 비교한 결과 Re-entrant Type이 더 우수하였다.

본 연구에서는 직접분사식 CNG기관의 희박한계를 보다 확장하여 고효율 및 저배기 공해를 실현시키고자 실린더 내에 고압의 천연가스를 직접분사함과 동시에 흡입과정 중 흡기관 내에 소량의 저압천연가스를 보조분사하는 경우의 희박한계 확장 및 제반특성에 대해 검토하였다. 그 결과, 흡기보조분사가 없을 경우 희박한계가 ${\lambda}$ = 1.4 까지였으나, 흡기보조분사율이 5~15% 정도에서는 희박한계가 ${\lambda}$ = 1.5 까지 확장되었다. 이는 흡기보조분사에 따른 혼합기의 혼합율 향상에 기인한 것으로 해석하였다. 연소기간은 줄어들었지만, 흡기보조분사의 효과는 주연소기간에서 조기연소기간보다 강하게 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of water injection on combustion characteristics of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine with turbo-charger under low-load operating condition. The test engine used in this study has four-cylinder and 10.2 of compression ratio. In order to study the effect of water injection ratio on combustion characteristics, the water was injected into the intake port from 10% to 50%, based on fuel injection quantity. From the experiment, it revealed that the water injection induced the improvement of fuel economy because of the advance of spark-timing by the reduction of in-cylinder temperature. In addition, the water injection caused the prolong of extension of the ignition delay and slight increase of burn duration.

Nowadays, automobile manufacturers are focusing on the reduction of exhaust-gas emissions because of the harmful effects on humans and the environment, such as global warming by greenhouse gases. Gasoline direct injection (GDI) combustion is a promising technology that can improve fuel economy significantly compared to conventional port fuel injection (PFI) gasoline engines. In the present study, ultra-lean combustion with an excess air ratio of over 2.0 is realized with a spray-guided-type GDI combustion system, so that the fuel consumption is improved by about 13%. The level of exhaust-gas emissions and the operation performance with the multiple injection strategy and exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) are examined in comparison with the emission regulations and from the point of view of commercialization.

본 연구는 직접 연료분사 가솔린 엔진에 장착되는 고압연료 인젝터의 연료공급 특성에 대한 것으로, 두 종류 GDI 인젝터의 분무가시화 실험을 수행하였고, 분무특성을 분석하였다. 가시화 실험을 통하여 인젝터 끝단 분사 초단부근 연료거동을 확인하였고, 인젝터의 특성인 도달거리와 관통력을 확인하였으며, 분위기 압력의 변화에 따른 분무특성을 고려하여 실험을 수행하였다. 두 인젝터 모두 분위기 압력이 증가함에 따라 도달거리와 분사각이 감소하였다. B type의 인젝터 보다 A type의 인젝터가 분위기 압력에 민감한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 분위기 압력의 변화에 따른 분무거동의 변화를 확인 하였으며 직접 분사인젝터의 엔진적용을 위한 기초 분무 데이터를 확보하였다.

In this study, single cylinder engine experiment was carried out to investigate combustion characteristics spray guided direct injection spark ignition engine. In the result of engine experiment, it was shown that flammable window of injection timing was existed. The combustion efficiency increased with retarding injection timing, reaching a peak value, subsequent to decrease again. These results were likely due to the effect of ambient pressure on stratified-premixed mixture preparation. 150 bar injection pressure condition and retarded injection timing from the best combustion efficiency injection timing showed the highest IMEP value due to the advanced combustion phase of the maximum combustion efficiency condition. HC emission showed same trend of combustion efficiency, and smoke emission was increased as injection timing was retarded due to the increased locally rich area in the high ambient pressure. NOx emission showed decreasing trend as injection timing was retarded. This is likely due to the maximum in-cylinder temperature was decreased with retarded combustion phase.

This paper presents a method for estimating the contribution of vibration sources in gasoline direct injection engine parts with a multiple-input system. A partial coherence function was used to identify the cause of the linear dependence indicated by an ordinary coherence function. To apply the partial coherence function to vibration source identification in the powertrain system of a gasoline direct injection engine, a virtual model of a two-input and single-output system is simulated. For the validation of this model, the vibration of the powertrain parts was measured by using triaxial accelerometers attached to the selected vibration sources-a high-pressure pump, fuel rail, injector, and pressure sensor. After calculating the partial coherence between each source based on the virtual model, the vibration contribution of the powertrain system is calculated. This virtual model based on the partial coherence function is implemented to determine the quantitative vibration contribution of each powertrain part.

Nowadays, automotive manufacturers have developed various technologies to improve fuel economy and reduce harmful emissions. The ultra-lean direct injection engine is a promising technology because it has the advantage of improving thermal efficiency through the deliberate control of fuel and ignition. This study aims to investigate the development of a spray-guided-type lean-burn LPG direct injection engine through the redesign of the combustion system. This engine uses a central-injection-type cylinder head in which the injector is installed adjacent to the spark plug. Fuel consumption and combustion stability were estimated depending on the ignition timing and injection timing at various air-fuel ratios. The optimal injection timing and ignition timing were based on the best fuel consumption and combustion stability.

In the recent times, the use of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines has been regarded as a means of enhancing conformance to emission regulations and improving fuel efficiency. GDI engines have been widely adopted in the recent years for their better engine performance and fuel economy compared to those of conventional MPI gasoline engines. However, they present some disadvantages related to the mass and quantity of particulate matter generated during their use. This study investigated the nanoparticle characteristics of the particulate matter exhausted from a GDI engine vehicle installed with different types of gasoline particulate filters, after subjecting it to ultra-lean burn driving conditions. Three metal foam and metal fiber filters were used for each experimental condition. The number concentrations of particles were analyzed for understanding their behavior, and the reduction characteristics were obtained for each type of filter.

In order to meet the enforced emission regulations and reduce fuel consumption, various new technologies are employed in engines. The problem of NOx emissions under a lean mixture condition should be solved, because a lean-burn direct-injection engine can realize stable lean combustion with a stratified mixture, which results in improvements in fuel economy and emissions. This study investigated the effects of intake and exhaust valve timing changes on the performance and emission characteristics of a lean-burn LPG direct-injection engine. Under a partial-load operating condition without throttling, an increase in the intake valve opening led to an increase in NOx emissions due to an increase in the amount of excess air. The fuel consumption deteriorated with an increase in the exhaust valve opening due to a decrease in the expansion work and an increase in the pumping loss.
