LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) vehicles in metropolitan area are being applied to improve air quality and have been proven effective for the reduction of air pollutant. In addition, the demand of gas as an eco-friendly energy source has being increased. With the LPG filling station is also increasing every year. These gas stations are required to install the securest storage tank because of possibility of causing huge loss of life and property. Therefore, in this paper, underground containment type is proposed as installation of the LPG storage tank using Taguchi method, which is considered to be more safe, economical, efficient, easy checking and simple construction method than any other. If leakage, economics, real estate utilization rate, safety, easy to check, simple construct about above ground, buried underground and underground containment storage tank are analyzed by Taguchi method, real estate utilization rate, economic and safety in turn are improved. Therefore, the underground containment storage tank is a optimal installation technology.

Since LPG has a higher octane number and a lower maximum combustion temperature than gasoline it is getting more popular for reducing emissions from the vehicle This paper when an LPG engine works in the range of idle analyzed the operating range preciously an provides reducing method of emissions for the LPG engine. An electronic control unit(ECU) for the LPG engine using a feedback mixer is presented. The ECU is built by using a microcontroller MC68HC05. A PI-controller is imple-mented in the ECU in order to handle to handle Air/Fuel ration control. The experimental results exhibit that the required engine performance are satisfied at idle.

In comparison with gasoline engine, LPG direct injection engine has some advantages not only in emission and fuel efficiency but also in prevention of power decrease and back fire etc. which are disadvantages of conventional LPG engine. In this study, comparision tests of the incylinder spray and combustion characteristics between of LPG and gasoline fuels were performed in the RCEM as a basic research for the development of future LPG engine with low emission and high fuel efficiency During the direct injection of LPG fuel and gasoline into the inside of RCEM, spray development characteristics according to the injection condition have been photographed by the high speed shadow graph methods. The conditions for the optimum mixture distribution of LPG and gasoline fuels are achievable at the selected ignition timing, respectively.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has been used as motor fuel due to its low emissions and low cost. This study addresses the analysis of the LPG spray behavior near injection nozzle. The LPG spray photographs are compared with sprays of diesel fuel at the same conditions. The LPG spray photos show that the dispersion characteristic depends very sensuously on the ambient pressure soon after injection. The spray angle is very wide in a low ambient pressure condition until the saturated pressure at this test condition, but the angle value is quickly reduced at the condition over the pressure.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Ca to C9 were investigated with nine ambient air samples collected in April 26, August 17, 1996 and January 23, 1997 in a Seoul site. On each sampling day, three 2-hr integrated canister samples were collected in early morning, early afternoon and late afternoon, respectively to study temporal . variation of VOCs. Most of VOC species showed diurnal variation with higher concentrations in the early morning and lower concentrations in the afternoon. The concentrations of light alkanes were high, probably due to the emission from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and evaporation of gasoline. Especially, the concentration of propane was the highest in the morning samples. The concentrations of propane, ethylene, acetylene, and toluene were prominent in their hydrocarbon groups, respectively. These components were the main source of car exhaust, gasoline evaporization, LPG, or solvent usage.

A household gas valve is used for flow control of LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) of which pressure is about $200mmH_2O(\fallingdotseq\;0.0196[bar])$. Currently, two kinds of valves such as rotary type and button type are widely used in many applications. But, these valves have some problems that they are not controllable and reliable. Piezo actuation combined with modem microelectronics provides a reliable, quiet, low energy, infinitely adjustable gas valve. In this paper, gas valve using piezo actuator which are bimorph and a circle type was studied. Also, Prototype for gas valve was manufactured and characteristics of the prototype gas valve were analyzed.

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.

Highly accurate control of an air-fuel ratio is very important to reduce exhaust gas emissions of gaseous-fuel engines. In order to achieve this purpose, a precise engine model is required to estimate engine performance from the engine design process which is applied to the design of an engine controller. Engine dynamics are considered to develop a dynamic engine model of a gaseous-fuel engine. An effective air mass ratio is proposed to study variations of the engine dynamics according to the water vapor and the gaseous-fuel in the mixture. The dynamic engine model is validated with the LPG engine under steady and transient operating conditions. The experimental results in the LPG gaseous-fuel engine show that the estimation of the air flow and the air-fuel ratio based upon the effective air mass ratio is more accurate than that of a normal engine model.

본 논문에서는 밸브몸체와 밸브스템 사이의 사각그루브에 설치한 두 개의 O-링에 대한 누설 안전성을 해석한 결과를 제시하고 있다. O-링시일의 누설 안전성에 대한 해석은 압축률과 LPG 가스압력의 변동에 따라 발생되는 누설 안전성을 유한요소해석 프로그램 MARC로 계산하였다. FEM 해석결과에 따르면, LP가스 충전압력 $8kg/cm^2$에서 안전변의 안전한 작동압력 상한치 $24.8kg/cm^2$에 이르기까지 압력하중을 압력용기 안전기준에 의거 계산한 결과는 안전한 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 두 개의 O-링의 안전성을 충분하게 확보하기 위해서는 O-링소재의 시효경화 효과를 고려하는 것이 바람직하다.

LPG는 가정용 및 자동차용 연료로 우리 생활 주변에 많이 사용되고 있는 가연성 기체이다. LPG의 생산 공정의 개선 등을 조정하고 연료로서의 특성을 개선하기 위한 LPG성분 조정에 대한 연구들이 일부 진행되고 있다. 이러한 특성을 개선하기 위한 방법의 하나로 LPG의 가스들을 혼합하는 방법이 고려되고 있다. LPG는 가장용으로 주로 사용되는 프로판과 자동차용으로 사용되는 부탄이 대부분이지만 프로필렌과 부틸렌도 LPG의 한 종류이다. 본 연구에서는 프로판과 부탄에 프로필렌을 혼합할 경우 폭발특성과 연소 배기가스의 성분변화 등을 측정하여 프로판과 부탄에 프로필렌이 혼합될 경우 특성치의 변화를 살펴보고자 하였다. 실험결과 불포화 탄화수소인 프로필렌이 혼합될 경우 폭발압력 및 압력상승속도가 증가할 수 있고 프로필렌 혼합비가 클 경우 연소가스 중에 CO가스의 발생량이 증가할 가능성이 있음을 알 수 있었다.
