The purpose of this study is to investigate the specific characteristics of combustion and exhaust emissions on a 4-cylinder common rail diesel engine as EGR rate and the rate of blended bio-diesel was altered. Bio-diesel fuel which is a sort of alternative fuels can be adapted to diesel engine directly without modifying. This study was performed to 2000rpm of engine speed with torque 30Nm while EGR rate and the rate of blended bio-diesel was changed. Decreasing combustion pressure and increasing the rate of heat were occurred when we had changed the EGR rate on the 20% of bio-diesel blended diesel fuel. The maximum pressure of combustion and the IMEP became higher as the EGR rate and the rate of blended bio-diesel were changed. Exhaust gas temperature was increased the higher rate of the blended bio-diesel under the fixed EGR rate. However, it went down as the EGR rate increased. The amounts of CO and Soot were reduced with increasing the rate of the blended bio-diesel without changing EGR rate and raised with increasing of the EGR rate. On the fixed EGR rate, NOx was increased along with growing the rate of the bio-diesel. On the other hand, it was decreased while EGR rate were going up.

A multi-cylinder four cycle spark ignition engine equipped with on exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) system to reduce nitric oxide emission and to improve fuel consumption rate has been comprehensively simulated In a computer program including intake and exhaust manifolds. To achieve these goals, this program was tested against experiments performed on a standard production four cylinder four cycle gasoline engine with EGR system. As EGR rate Increased, the maximum temperature of combustion chamber and NO omission concentration decreased under each driving condition. But the emission concentration of CO didn't change much through whole district in spite of the increase of EGR rate. Fuel consumption rate improved under each driving condition according to the increased of EGR rate until 10 percent EGR rate. Therefore the degree of EGR depend not only on the NO emission but also on the economy and the engine performance criteria of the engine.

EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) is considered as a most effective method to reduce the NOx emissions. But high EGR tolerance is always pursued not only for its advantages of the pumping loss reduction and fuel economy benefit in Gasoline-Hybrid engine. However, the occurrence of excessive cyclic variation with high EGR normally prevents substantial fuel economy improvements from being achieved in practice. Therefore, the optimum EGR rate should be carefully determined in order to achieve low fuel consumption and low exhaust emission. In this study, 2 liters gasoline engine with E-EGR system was used to investigate the effects of EGR on fuel efficiency, combustion stability, engine performance and exhaust emissions. With optimal EGR rates, the fuel consumption was improved by 4%. This improvement was achieved while a reduction in NOx emissions of 75% was accomplished. Increase of EGR gas temperature causes the charge air temperature to affect the knock phenomenon and moreover, the EGR valve lift changes for the same control signal.

반응성 조정 압축착화 (Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition, RCCI) 연소는 착화원인 디젤 연료를 압축 행정 중 이른 시점에 미리 분사하여, 공기와 미리 섞여 들어온 천연가스 연료뿐만 아니라 디젤 연료 자체도 미리 연소 전에 공기와 혼합하여 착화를 이루는 전체 예혼합 혼소(Dual-fuel combustion) 방식의 일종이다. 따라서 기존의 혼소 방식 중에서도 RCCI 연소는 질소산화물(Nitrogen Oxides, NOx) 및 매연(Smoke)을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있고, 또한 높은 열효율을 유지할 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. 특히 연소 중 NOx의 발생은 연소 온도와 국부적인 당량비에 관계된 상황에서 당량비를 낮추기 위해 예혼합율을 높이는 시도뿐만 아니라, 연소 온도 감소를 위한 배기재순환(Exhuast Gas Recirculation, EGR)을 적용하는 것이 효과적이다. 그러나 배기재순환은 대개의 경우 터보차저의 압축기 전단에서 추출하는 HP-EGR(High Pressure-EGR) 방식을 적용하는 경우가 많으므로, EGR율을 높일 경우 터빈으로 공급되는 배기의 양이 줄어 배기 엔탈피 감소로 인해 과급이 줄어드는 악영향을 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 두 운전조건에서 천연가스-디젤 RCCI 연소를 시행할 때, EGR율 변화에 따른 엔진 시스템의 제동 출력 및 열효율의 변화에 대하여 실험적으로 분석하였다. 실험 조건은 1,200 rpm/29 kW 수준의 조건과 1,800 rpm/90 kW 이하 조건에서 수행하였으며 NOx와 smoke의 배출조건은 Tier-4 final 배기규제를 기준으로 삼았으며 엔진의 내구성을 고려하여 최고 연소압력은 160 bar를 넘지 않게 제어하였다. 그 결과 1,200 rpm/29 kW 조건에서는 EGR율을 4에서 30 %로 높이더라도 출력 및 열효율의 변화는 미미하였으나, 1,800 rpm 조건에서는 EGR율을 4에서 28 %로 증가할 경우 최대 과급 압력이 2.3에서 1.8 bar로, 최고 출력은 90에서 65 kW로, 열효율은 37에서 33 %로 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 효과적인 EGR공급을 위해서는 현재 압축기 전단에서 추출하는 EGR을 후단에서 추출하는 LP-EGR (Low Pressure EGR) 시스템이 효과적일 수 있음을 시사한다.

The effects of exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) on the characteristics of exhaust emissions and specific fuel consumption have been investigated using an eight-cylinder, four cycle, direct injection diesel engine operating at several loads and speeds. The experiments in this study are conducted on the fixed fuel injection timing of $38^{\circ}$ BTDC regardless of experimental conditions. In conclusion, it is found that $NO_{x}$ emission is markedly reduced with the drop of burnt gas temperature at high speeds and loads especially as the EGR rate increases, while the soot particulate rises with EGR rate and load at a given engine speed, especially high loads. The reduction of exhaust emissions within the Korea heavy duty diesel engine emission standards can be roughly achieved by the optimal EGR rate without degarding the specific fuel consumption, based on the correlations between exhaust emissions.

최근 디젤엔진에서 엔진성능향상 및 배출가스저감을 위해 저압 EGR시스템에 대하여 연구개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 저압 EGR시스템은 EGR율에 따라 과급압력이 영향을 받지 않기 때문에 PM을 최소 화하면서 $NO_x$를 저감할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2.0L급 고속직분사방식의 엔진에서 출력 및 연비저하로 EGR적용이 어려운 엔진회전수 2000 rpm, BMEP 1.0 MPa, 과급압력 181.3 kPa인 중부하 운전영역에서 서로 다른 EGR시스템에 따른 엔진성능 및 배출가스 특성을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 그 결과로서 기존의 고압 EGR시스템 또는 배압조절밸브를 사용하는 저압 EGR시스템에 비하여 ETC를 적용한 저압 EGR시스템이 $NO_x$ 배출특성은 큰 차이가 없는 반면에, 연비 및 열효율이 향상되고 PM 저감에 연소효과를 나타내고 있음을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this work is an experimental investigation of combustion and emission characteristics in DI diesel engine applied high EGR rate as a method of low-temperature combustion. In order to analyze the effect of EGR rate variation, a single-cylinder DI diesel engine was operated under various EGR rate conditions. In addition, injection timing was variously controlled to investigate the effect of injection timing in DI diesel engine using the cooled-EGR system. The NOx emissions were decreased in accordance with the increase of EGR rate. On the contrary, soot emissions were generally increased under applied EGR conditions. However, soot emissions were decreased in a few injection timings under high EGR rate conditions. The EGR results show that the ignition delay were increased by decreased oxygen concentrations in combustion chamber under the high EGR rate.

This paper aims to predict oxidation amounts of catalyst and heat produced through passive regeneration on DPF according to different EGR rates and loads of off-road engines. Soot oxidation model and parameter assumption model were used for the test. Engine data were measureed with 25%, 50% and 75% of 1600 RPM loads and with 0% and 30% of EGR rates in order to estimate parameters. Oxygen levels calculated on the DPF downstream and oxygen levels measured were compared through all of the experimental conditions for validating the model. Oxidation rates on DPF according to different EGR rates and oxygen levels on the DPF downstream were estimateed successfully, which can be applied for off-road vehicles.

This paper is the second investigation on the effects of intake flow control methods on the part load performance in a spark ignition engine. In the previous work, two control methods, port throttling and masking, were compared with respect to lean misfire limit, fuel consumption and emissions. In this work, the effects of these two methods on EGR characteristics were studied and simultaneously the differences between EGR and lean combustion as a dilution method were investigated. The results show that EGR limit is expanded up to 23% and 3 ~ 5% improvement in the fuel consumption are achieved around 8 ~ 13% rates by the flow controls comparing with 10% limit and 1.5% reduction around 3% rate of non-control case. The masking method is more effective on the limit expansion than throttling as like as lean misfire limit; however there is no substantial difference in fuel consumptions improvement regardless the control methods except high load condition. Also it is observed that there exist critical EGR rates around which the combustion performance and NOx formation change remarkably and these rates generally coincide with optimum rates for the fuel consumption. In addition, dilution with fresh air is much more advantageous than that of the exhaust gas from the view point of dilution limit and fuel consumption, while utilization of the exhaust gas is more effective on NOx reduction in spite of considerably small dilution compared with the use of fresh air. Finally, the improvement of fuel consumption by massive EGR is highly dependent on the EGR limit at which the engine runs stably, therefore the stratified combustion technique might be a best solution for this purpose.

배기가스 재순환장치는 디젤엔진에서 질소산화물을 저감시키는 기술로서 알려져 있다. 그러나 시스템 적용시 연료소비와 입자상물질을 증가시키기 때문에 기술 적용하는데 있어서 상당히 어려움이 있다. 그래서 실린더내의 연소시스템을 고려한 최적의 배기가스순환 비율을 산정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문은 여러 가지의 EGR율을 변화시키면서 연소와 배기가스에 미치는 영향을 조사했다.
