This paper shows a design and implementation of throttle valve controller for engine dynamometer system using fuzzy logic. Recently, we demanded the excellent measuring equipment so as to improve engine performance. The throttle valve control for engine dynamometer system is a very particular part in the engine control. Since the structure of engine dynamometer system is very complicated and has nonlinear elements which are influenced by disturbance of vibration, heating, cooling, and energy loss so on. In this paper, fuzzy logic control application have been successful in throttle valve control problem for engine dynamometer system in which the conventional control had difficulties dealing with the system. In this study, we propose a method that the control strategy uses Fuzzy Look-up table and normalization and obtained the satisfying result from realized throttle valve controller for engine dynamometer system.

One of the most popular internal combustion engines is the engine in the transportation device. Power is a parameter that shows the capabilities of an object that gives energy, for example the internal combustion engine. Power in this engine is measured by a device called dynamometer. The CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) fluent software was simulated several impeller variables to absorb power of engine. With that result, we knew the biggest dynamometer absorber power, cheapest and easy to be made. The hydraulic dynamometer is selected type of dynamometer as the result of design process. The basic principle of a hydraulic dynamometer is the same as centrifugal pump but it has low pump efficiency. The results of the test are maximum power and torque of the tested engine and the operation area of the selected hydraulic dynamometer.

The main study experiments to obtain engine torque of the vehicle during performance test of the recent automobile. Torque was measured through the engine dynamometer to produces engine torque of the vehicle but the research method calculated engine torque of the vehicle without the engine dynamometer. The performance of the vehicle receive various running resistance. The study certificates performance of certification before a certification of used vehicle didn't carry out and certificate. This way evaluated on road test and chassis dynamometer The result of the study shows that it is much possible to apply the test. After comparing the engine torque of road driving with that of chassis dynamometer, the results are approximately the same. When rapidly speeded up, the road-load vehicle can pitch in some degrees, which may result in the fluctuations of acceleration, and then affect on the engine torque. Therefore it is confirmed that this method is easier way to measure the performance of vehicles.

Recently, the vehicle engine requried precision control of Air-Fuel rate and rigid restriction of exhaust gas. Therefore, we demanded excellent measuring equipment so as to improve of engine performance. Specially, throttle valve control is very important part in the engine control, because structure of engine dynamometer system is very important part in the engine control, because structure of engine dynamometer system is very complicate and it has nonlinear elements which is influenced of disturbance about vibration, a heat, a cooling, energy loss so on. In this study, we propose the method that the control technique using Fuzzy Look-up table and we obtained the satisfying result from realized the control system.

Testing engine performance using an engine dynamometer requires high technical researchers and many facilities. Nowadays, different variables of CAE program are used for identifying the engine performance instead of engine dynamometer test. This is more convenience, as it does not necessitate an abundance of engine dynamometer experiments and, in addition, produces better results. However, CAE programs also contain various variables which can affect engine performance. Those are coupled with each other, thus making it difficult to determine the effectiveness of different variables on engines. DoE (Design of Experiments) methodology is an efficient way to verify the magnitude of effectiveness on engine performance as well as making responses to be optimized at once without trial & error. This study used data from WAVE simulations, which modeled the DOHC SI engine with in-line 4 cylinders at 1500, 3000 and 4500rpm. DoE methodology is designed properly to determine the effectiveness of five variables on power, BSFC, and volumetric efficiency, as well as to find the optimal response conditions at each rpm through a minimized number of experiments. After finishing DoE process, all the results are examined concerning the reliability of test through a verification experiment.

We proposed a method to convert the CO2 emission data of vehicles collected from the chassis dynamometer test from distance unit to energy unit which generally measured from the engine dynamometer tests. In the future, if engine dynamometer tests are limited, it is expected to be applied as an alternative method to calculate CO2 emission based on energy unit through the chassis dynamometer test. At this moment, engine efficiency is required and the test mode average efficiency should be used to improve the accuracy, not the result derived from specific speed and load conditions. Also, this method was applied to foreign data and the results were within 0.2%. However, CO, NOx and THC which have very low emission characteristics except CO2, are limited by the method proposed in this study and need to be considered separatively.

Recent trends of development in small size gasoline engines are both to have higher compression ratio for the purpose of improved fuel consumption and to advance spark timing up to DBL in a low to mid engine speed region for a good acceleration performance of vehicles. However, there occurs the deviation of corrected engine torque results during engine performance test on dynamometer because test conditions influence the onset of knock. Therefore, this research shows the test deviation of corrected engine torque decreases when knock correction rate is used.

To keep up with the regulation of OBD II(on board diagnostics II), many detection methods for engine misfire have been developed. Among them, the method of using the crankshaft speed fluctuation is the most noticeable in the point of view of lower cost and easier installation than any others. On the basis of the results obtained from the previous engine-dynamometer test, the integrating torque index (ITI) has been introduced. In this research, the instrumental and the interfacing systems to engine control unit(ECU) are developed for the vehicle test. Therefore, the vehicle and chassis-dynamometer test can be carried out in addition to the rough road test. From this test, the previousproposed method proved that it can be applied to the real vehicle.

In this study the leakage current measurement method based on a porous ceramic is applied to check the conductive substance caused by the ionized particles. By using engine and chassis dynamometer and an experiment vehicle, in which the hydrocarbon sensor (HC sensor) was exposed to the exhaust gas to create the electrical signal, the HC sensor in the exhaust line checked the conductive ions in emission gas. Generally the output electrical signal of HC sensor is followed with amount of hydrocarbon in the experiments in cold start and operation. By combining the electrical signal, a measure of conductivity of exhaust gas with hydrocarbon can be provided by OBD (On Board Diagnosis) II and EMS (Engine Management System).

This paper presents the performance and emissions characteristics of a small spark-ignited 2-stroke gasoline and LPG engine. The engine used in this paper is a single cylinder, two-stroke, air-cooled SI engine for brush cutter. We measured the rpm, torque, fuel consumption and HC, CO, NOx emissions in associated with the dynamometer load at WOT. The results showed that as engine revolution speed decreased, the excess air ratio of gasoline engine kept going about 0.9 and that of LPG engine increased 0.83 to 1.05. Torque and power of gasoline engine was higher than LPG engine. In exhaust emissions, HC emissions of gasoline engine was lower than LPG engine. In low speed area, CO emissions of LPG engine was lower than gasoline engine. Both gasoline engine and LPG engine emitted little NOx emissions.
