A CRDI diesel engine used to commercial vehicle was fueled with diesel fuel and 20% biodiesel blended fuel (BDF 20%) and tested at the Seoul-10 mode for 150 hours. Engine dynamometer testing was completed at regularly scheduled intervals to monitor the engine performance and exhaust emissions. To check the engine parts (valve, injector), the engine was inspected after 150 hours running test. It was concluded that there was no unusual deterioration of the engine, or the changes in engine power (below 1.9%), smoke (below 4.1%), NOx (below 3.7%) and durability characteristics in spite of operation of 150 hours run with BDF 20%. The difference of kinetic viscosity for engine oil (before and after durability testing) was below 0.19% at $100^{\circ}C$.

In order to confront the increasing air pollution and the tightening emission restrictions, this research developed a diesel engine using DME, the advanced smoke-free alternative fuel. By numerical analysis, flow field, spray, and combustion phenomenon of the DME engine was presented. Using an experimental method, the configuration of the fuel supply system and operation/power performance was tested with the current plunger pump. Most emission performance, especially smoke performance was significantly improved. The possibility of conversion from the current diesel engine into the DME engine was affirmed in this research. However, it was found that the increase of engine RPM and fuel amount need to be properly adjusted through matching the characteristics of fuel and injector for further improvement.

Dimethyl Ether (DME) is an excellent alternative fuel that provides lower particulate matter (PM) than diesel fuel under the same engine operating conditions. Spray characteristical of DME in common rail injection system were investigated within a constant volume chamber by using the particle motion analysis system. The injector used in this study has a single hole with the different orifice diameter of 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 mm. The injection pressure was fixed at 35MPa and the ambient pressure was varied from 0.6 to 1.5 MPa. Spray characteristics such as spray angle, spray tip penetration and SMD (Sauter mean diameter) were measured. Spray angle was measured at 30d$_{0}$, downstream of the nozzle tip. The measured spray angie increased with increase in the ambient pressure. Increase of the ambient pressure results in a decrease of spray penetration. The experimental result, of spray penetration were compared with the predicted one by theoretical and empirical models. Increase in the ambient pressure and nozzle diameter results in an increase of SMD at a distance 30, 45 and 60d$_{0}$, downstream of the nozzle, respectively.ely.

CRDi technology of diesel engine was developed from in the early 2000s due to a need to increase fuel efficiency and environment care. Especially, high-pressure fuel injection system in CRDi system which has a fuel injection unit including an injector, a fuel pump and common-rail, etc. becomes possible to make the exhaust gas clean as well as power improvement. In this study, comparison of dynamic characteristics of servo-hydraulic piezo-driven injector with 3-way and bypass-circuit type was analyzed by using the AMESim code. As results of this study, it found the bypass-circuit inside servo-hydraulic piezo injector can cause a faster injection response than that of the 3-way type. Also it was shown that bypass-circuit type had better control capability due to hydraulic bypass system.

자동차로부터 배출되는 배기가스는 오존 및 미세먼지 등의 농도를 증가시켜 인체의 건강을 위협할 뿐만 아니라 지구 온난화 물질인 이산화탄소를 다량 배출하고 있어 지구 온난화에도 지대한 영향을 미치고 있다. 그래서 정부는 자동차에서 배출되는 배기가스를 효율적으로 규제하기 위한 제도로 운행차 배출가스 정밀검사 제도를 시행하고 있다. 자동차 배출가스를 줄이려는 연구는 다방면으로 이루어지고 있으며, 자동차의 배출가스 중 HC, NOx, $CO_2$ 등의 발생을 줄이기 위한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 노후된 자동차에 대한 배출가스 저감에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 노후된 디젤자동차들이 운행차 배출가스 정밀검사를 만족하기 위해서는 흡기 다기관(manifold)과 인젝터의 카본퇴적물(Carbon sediment)을 세척하여 출력향상 및 배출가스 저감에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 차령 5년 이상, 주행거리 80,000 km 이상의 디젤자동차에 흡기 다기관 클리닝과 인젝터 클리닝을 동시에 수행하여 매연 발생에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과, 흡기다기관 클리닝과 인젝터 클리닝을 동시 수행한 결과는 각각 수행한 결과보다 매연을 75.2% 감소시켰다. 또한, 흡기다기관 클리닝과 인젝터 클리닝을 동시 수행한 결과는 검사 후 8.5초부터 배출허용 기준 30%이하를 만족하였다.

유체의 고압유동은 여러 산업현장에 활용되고, 특히 그 중 내연기관의 연료분사 인젝터가 대표적이며 디젤엔진의 커먼레일 시스템의 경우 1000bar 이상의 압력이 사용된다. 이와 같이 고속으로 분출되는 유체유동의 경우, 노즐을 통해 분사되는 고속의 유체는 주위기체와의 상호작용으로 분열과정을 거치게 된다. 이 분열과정은 연소실 혼합기형성기과정에 영향을 주게 되며, 그 결과 엔진의 연소상태에 까지 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 연료분무의 분열과정에 대한 해석은 중요하며, 본 연구에서는 연료분무의 분열을 위한 수치해석 서브모델로 Reitz&Diwakar 및 CAB(Cascade atomization and breakup)모델을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 분사된 분무의 분열과정의 정확한 해석이며, 분사연료의 분열발생 형태의 빈도 등을 조사하였다. 결과로서 본 연구는 상용 CFD 프로그램(CFX)을 이용하여 디젤분무의 분열과정해석을 위한 적합한 분열모델을 제안한다.

The purpose of this study is the experimental and numerical investigation on the DME spray characteristics in the combustion chamber according to the injection timing in a common-rail injection system. The visualization system consisted of the high speed camera with metal halide lamp was used for analyzing the spray characteristics such as spray development processes and the spray tip penetration in the free and in-cylinder spray under various ambient pressure. In order to observe the spray characteristics as a function of injection timing, the piston head shape of re-entrant type was created and the fuel injected into the chamber according to various distance between nozzle tip and piston wall in consideration of injection timing. Also, the spray and evaporation characteristics in the cylinder was calculated by using KlVA-3V code for simulating spray development process and spray tip penetration under real engine conditions. It was revealed that the high ambient pressure of 3 MPa was led to delay the spray development and evaporation of DME spray. In addition, injected sprays after BTDC 20 degrees entered the bowl region and the spray at the BTDC 30 degrees was divided into two regions. In the calculated results, the liquefied spray tip penetration and fuel evaporation were shorter and more increased as the injection timing was retarded, respectively.

In this study, the trucks(2.9-liter) have been developed to use DME as fuel, and performance test of the vehicle's DME engine, power, emissions, fuel economy and vehicle aspects was conducted. For experiments, the fuel system(common-rail injectors and high-pressure pump included) and the engine control logic was developed, and ECU mapping was performed. As a result, the rail pressure from 40MPa to approximately 65% increase compared to the base injector has been confirmed that. Also, the pump discharge flow is 15.5 kg/h when the fuel rail pressure is 400rpm(40MPa), and the pump discharge flow is 92.1 kg/h when the fuel rail pressure is 2,000rpm(40MPa). The maximum value of full-load torque capability is 25.5 kgfm(based on 2,000 rpm), and more than 90% compared to the level of the diesel engine were obtained. The DME vehicle was developed in this study, 120 km/h can drive to the stable, and calculated in accordance with the carbon-balance method of fuel consumptions is 5.7 km/L.
