가스연료인 LPG와 CNG는 청정 대체연료로서 차량용 연료로 많이 사용되고 있다. 특히 CNG의 경우 저탄소 연료로서 온실가스 배출량 저감에 기여할 수 있다, LPG의 경우 가솔린 차량과 거의 동등한 성능을 가지면서도 연료가격이 저렴하여 택시에 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 동일차량에서 LPG와 CNG를 사용하여 배출가스와 최근 문제가 되고 있는 입자상물질의 배출개수(PN; particle number)에 대하여 비교하였다. 차대동력계를 이용하여 FTP-75와 WLTC 모드에 대하여 시험을 진행하였다. PN은 두 대의 CPC(Condensation Particle Counter)를 이용하여 5 nm 이상과 23 nm 이상의 입자에 대하여 배출 개수를 측정하였다. 배출가스에 있어서는 CO2의 경우 LPG 차량이, 메탄의 경우 CNG 차량이 많이 배출되었다. PN의 경우 두 연료에서 배출되는 PN은 비슷한 수준이었으며, WLTC 에서 고속운전하는 동안 23 nm 이하 크기의 입자 배출 개수가 많았다.

In an early engine development, it is highly required to determine the Key Test Points at the main driving, zone and lessen those points to reduce a test duration. This paper describes that it is possible not only to predict the cycle fuel consumption[g/km], emissions[g/km] from engine data(BSFC[g/kWh], emissions[g/kWh]) but also to confirm the emission regulation potential before a vehicle test.

The EGR system has been widely used to reduce nitrogen oxides (NO$\_$x/) emission, to improve fuel economy and suppress knock by using the characteristics of charge dilution. However, as the EGR rate at a given engine operating condition increases, the combustion instability increases. The combustion instability increases cyclic variations resulting in the deterioration of engine performance and emissions. Therefore, the optimum EGR rate should be carefully determined in order to obtain the better engine performance and emissions. An experimental study has been performed to investigate the effects of EGR on combustion stability, engine performance,70x and the other exhaust emissions from 1.5 liter gasoline engine. Operating conditions are selected from the test result of the high speed and high acceleration region of SFTP mode which generates more NO$\_$x/ and needs higher engine speed compared to FTP-75 (Federal Test Procedure) mode. Engine power, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are measured with various EGR rate. Combustion stability is analyzed by examining the variation of indicated mean effective pressure (COV$\_$imep/) and the timings of maximum pressure (P$\_$max/) location using pressure sensor. Engine performance is analyzed by investigating engine power and maximum cylinder pressure and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC)

The durability prediction of emission control components, especially 02 sensor and catalytic converter, is getting more important as emission regulation is getting stricter and vehicle durability mileage requirement is also extended from 80,000 ㎞ to 160,000 km in Korean market. And the duration of vehicle mileage accumulation to get vehicle exhaust emission deterioration factor for certification is required to be shorter in order to reduce the vehicle development time. Since most of the vehicle emission development tests are done on chassis dynamometer and aging bench by using vehicle aging modes, real road condition and in-use driving patterns must be reflected into them to predict the vehicle emission level and to meet emission regulation especially at high mileage. In order to get the frequent driving pattern of vehicle and the aging characteristic of emission components, a vehicle was tested by changing drivers and driving roads around Seoul. Real road driving patterns were analyzed and compared with those of the certification modes which are well known in automotive industry.

이산화탄소는 지구온난화를 일으키는 온실가스의 하나의 주요요인으로 생각되어진다. $CO_2$는 탄화수소를 연료로 사용하는 연소에서 배기가스의 주성분이다. 자동차의 $CO_2$ 배출물에 대한 규제는 최근에 더욱 절박하게 대두되어 왔다. 이러한 심각한 규제는 배기가스를 저감하는 대체연료를 개발할 수 있는 자동차 제품들에게 요구되는 것이다. 본 논문은 가솔린, 디젤, LPG 자동차를 사용하여, FTP-75와 NEDC(ECE15+EUDC) 모두에 따라서 $CO_2$ 배출물과 연료소비율(연비)과의 상관관계를 검토했다. 이 논문을 통해서 탄소중량비가 낮은 연료 일수록 $CO_2$ 발생량의 감소율이 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 사용한 연료에 따라서 $CO_2$ 배출량과 연비와의 관계를 함수로 표현할 수 있었으며, 높은 상관관계를 갖는 것을 알 수 있었다. LPG차량은 휘발유와 디젤차량보다 $CO_2$ 배출량이 적게 배출되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

It is well known that the majority of the emissions measured from vehicle exhaust in the US Federal Test Procedure(FTP-75) are emitted during the first 60 seconds. This paper describes an experimental study on SI engine emissions reduction after cold start with interval secondary air injection and coolant control. Secondary air injection after cold start to reduce exhaust emissions causes an exothermic reaction at the exhaust port and gives sufficient air to the catalyst. For that reason engine-out emissions oxidized in the exhaust port and the rapid heating of a catalytic converter after cold start with CSAI and ISAI are estimated. The influence of the coolant temperature on SI engine emissions has been estimated. In the present studycoolant control of the cylinder head tempeature is used to investigate the effect of coolant temperature on SI engine emissions. The results show that engine-out hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions are considerably reduced with interval secondary air injection and coolant control.

A monotype valve body for a dual clutch transmission has the potential to reduce costs, weight, and manufacturing time by modularizing various parts, including those of existing solenoid packs and valve bodies, into one through the application of super-precision die casting technology. However, this approach may lead to challenges such as reduced rigidity and increased interference due to modularization and compactness, impacting both product performance due to the reduced weight as well as durability and reliability. Unlike existing products, this approach requires a high-precision thin-wall block to avoid more complicated flow line formation, interference between flow lines, and leaks, as well as a strict quality requirement standard and precise inspections including detection of internal defects. To conduct precise inspections, we built an equivalent model corresponding to a driving distance of 300,000 km. Testing involved simulating actual road loads using a real vehicle and a chassis dynamometer in the FTP-75 mode (EPA Federal Test Procedure). The aim of the study was to establish a vehicle load-based part durability model for manufacturing a mono-type valve body and to develop fundamental technology for part weight reduction through preliminary design by introducing analytical weight reduction technology based on the derived results.
