The capability of pilot injection with small fuel quantity at all engine operating conditions is one of the main feature of the common rail direct injection system. The purpose of the pilot injection is to lower the engine noise and to reduce the NOx emissions. This study describes the pilot spray structure characteristics of the common-rail diesel injectors with different electric driving characteristics, including solenoid-driven and piezo-driven type. Namely three common-rail injectors with different electric current wave were investigated in this study. The pilot spray characteristics such as spray speed, spray tip penetration, and spray angle were obtained by spray images, which is measured by the back diffusion light illumination method with optical system for high-speed temporal photography. As this research results, it was found that pilot injection of common-rail system was effected by rate of injection with different electrical characteristic for driving the injector.

A Common-Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) system for high speed diesel engines was developed to meet reductions of noise and vibration, emission regulations. High pressure in the common rail with electric control allows the fuel quantity and injection timing to be optimized and controlled throughout a wide range of engine velocity and load conditions. In this study, CRDI system analysis model which includes fuel and mechanical systems was developed using commercial software, AMESim in order to predict characteristics for various fuel injection components. The parameter sensitivity analysis such as throttle size, injection rate, plunger displacement, supply pressure of fuel injection for system design are carried out.

An experimental feasibility study of the E3.9 engine with CP3.3 and EDC7C was conducted to understand the initial performance and the possibility for EURO-III regulation. ID cycle simulation for concept study was conducted using the BOOST. Also, some basic investigations through such various parameters as injection timing and rail pressure have been carried out to find the feasibility on EURO-III ESC mode. Based on the results, the feasibility of the E3.9 engine for EURO-III characteristics such as performance, emissions, and fuel economy was demonstrated.

It is well known that the performance of a diesel injector is directly related to the power, emission, and fuel consumption of the diesel combustion engine. In this study, the injection response characteristics of CRDi injectors driven by a solenoid coil and a piezoceramic were investigated by using the AMESim simulation code. Some analytical parameters such as the fuel pressure and hole diameter were considered. From this study, it was shown that the piezo-driven injector had a faster response and had better control capability than the solenoid-driven injector. In addition, it was found that the piezo-driven injector can be utilized more effectively in a multiple injection scheme than a solenoid-driven injector.

The advantages of the common rail fuel injection system architecture have been recognized since the development of the diesel engine. In common rail systems, a high-pressure pump stores a reservoir of fuel at high pressure up to and above 2000 bar. And solenoid or piezoelectric valves make possible fine electronic control over the fuel injection time and quantity, and the higher pressure that the common rail technology makes available provides better fuel atomization. In this study, the direct needle-driven piezo injector was investigated for accomplishing injection pressure of 1800 bar by optimal design by simplification of component and changing number of springs and plates of DPI. It was found that a direct needle-driven piezo injection system features the prototype DPI for passenger vehicle to operate at 1800 bar of injection pressure.

In order to meet the recently enhanced emission standards at home and abroad, it is necessary to develop the CRDI ECU control algorithm that users can adjust fuel injection timing and amount in response to their needs. Therefore, this study developed the simulator for knocking analysis that enables knocking discrimination and engine balance correction applicable to the ECU exclusive to the industrial CRDI engine. The purpose of this study is to provide the driver-oriented diagnostic service that enable drivers to diagnose vehicles directly by developing diagnostic devices for vehicles with ths use of the results of the developed simulator for knocing analysis according to the OBD-II standards. For this purpose, this study aims to improve the fuel efficiency of vehicles by proposing the S/W design method of the OBD-II diagnosis device that can provide real-time communcations with the use of wired system and bluetooth module as a wireless system to send and recevice automobile fault diagnosis signal and sensor output signal, and to suggest an improvement for engine efficiency by minimizing the generation of harmful exhaust gas.

Recently, diesel vehicles have been increased and their emission standards have been getting strict. The emission of diesel vehicles contains numerous dangerous compounds, especially particulate matters cause a serious environmental pollutant and affect to human health seriously. Thousands of studies have already reported that particulate matters are associated with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and death. Due to these, it is necessary to measure the soot concentration and soot particle size in laboratory flames or practical engines to recognize the soot formation, and develop the control strategies for soot emission. In this study, the characteristics of exhausted soot particle size and volume fraction from 2.0L CRDI diesel engine have been investigated as varying engine speed and load. Laser induced incandescence has been used to measure soot concentration. Time-resolved laser induced incandescence has been used to determine soot particle size in the engine. The soot volume fraction is increased as increasing engine load but soot volume fraction is decreased as increasing engine speed. The primary particle size is distributed about $35nm{\sim}60nm$ at each experimental conditions.
