The flow characteristics of an intermittent fuel injection into a stationary ambient air were investigated using gasoline. The measurements were made by two-channel, air cooling type Phase Doppler Anemometer(PDA) system (DANTEC, 750 MW). And a pintle type injector of MPI (Multi-point Port Injection) system was utilized as a fuel injector. The PDA receiver optic was set up in a 60.deg. C forward scatter arrangement to obtain the optimum scattering signal of fuel droplets. The data were obtained by synchronizing PDA system with the fuel injection period, and the axial and radial velocity and turbulent components of fuel droplets were mainly measured for the analysis of temporal and spatial distribution depending upon the fuel injection pressures.

지속적으로 강화되는 배기가스 및 연비 규제에 대응하기 위해 자동차 업계에서는 다양한 노력을 하고 있다. 하지만 이로 인해 NVH(Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) 성능이 악화되는 경우들이 많이 발생하고 있다. 사례로 가솔린 엔진의 고압 펌프 소음 및 MPI(Multi-Point Injection)와 GDI(Gasoline Direct Injection)의 듀얼 분사로 인한 가속 천이 소음, 가솔린 터보차저 소음, 디젤 엔진에서의 분사변수 캘리브레이션으로 인해 악화되는 연소음에 대한 원인 및 개선방향을 제시하였다. 이러한 소음들은 고주파 소음으로 운전자에게 거친 청감을 유발하기 때문에 적절한 NVH 대책으로 저감시키는 노력이 반드시 필요하다.

Effects of fuel injection timing on the lean misfire limit of a sequential MPI SI engine has been investigated. To investigate the interaction of injection timing and intake flow characteristics, so called axial stratification phenomena, 4 kinds of different intake swirl port of the same combustion chamber geometry have been teated in a single cylinder engine test bench. And 2 kinds of fuel, gasoline and compressed natural gas(CNG), were used to see the effect of liquid fuel vaporization. Result shows that combination of port swirl and injection timing governs the lean misfire limit and lean misfire limit envelopes remain almost the same for a given ratio regardless of engine speed. It is also found that two phase flow has some effects on lean misfire limit.

For digital engine control timings, such as ignition, are based on the crank shaft angle. Therefore, it is very important that the angle of the crank shaft can be detected with accuracy for optimal ignition timing. Sequential multi-point injection(MPI) systems that have independent injection events for each cylinder, are used to inject an accurate quantity of fuel, and to cope with varying engine status promptly. In this study the distributorless ignition timing. A crankshaft position sensor has been installed such that it generates a number of pulses per crankshaft revolution to permit accurate detection of the crank shaft angle. An event detecting algorithm has been developed, which detects the crank shaft pulses generated by the position sensor, and the software outputs the required control signals at given crank angle values. We clarified that the hardware method is the best way to increase the performance of the control system, because the event detecting duration T(1+2)max becomes zero.

In this study an air flow meter was developed for MPI engine using ultrasonic sensors. The major characteristcs of the ultrasonic flow meter are high speed response, flow direction recognition and linear output. The air flow rate measurements were conducted at upstream of the throttle and intake manifold. The characteristics of the ultrasonic flow meter are compared with those of the Bosch hot wire flow meter at both steady and unsteady engine conditions.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is used in spark ignition (SI) engines. Fuel injection rate of an injector is affected by fuel temperature and pressure in LPG liquid injection systems for either a multi-point-injection (MPI) or a direct injection (DI) engine. Even fuel injection conditions are varied, the air-fuel ratio should be accurately controlled to reduce exhaust emissions. In this study, a correction factor fur the fuel injection rate of an injector is derived from density ratio and pressure difference ratio. A compensation method of injected fuel amount is proposed for a fuel injection control system. The experimental results for the LPG liquid injection system in a SI engine show that this system works well fur a full range of engine speed and load condition, and the air-fuel ratio is accurately controlled by the proposed correction factor.

LPG(Liquified Petroleum Gas) fuel for vehicles has lots of advantages such as low emission level, cheaper fuel cost and enough infrastructure. Therefore it arouses interest as an alternative engine to reduce emission of diesel engines. Especially MPI(Multi Point Injection) type LPLi(Liquid Phase LPG injection) system could have overcome the disadvantages of mixer types such as low engine performance, decreased charging efficiency and cold starting difficulty. However ice formation on the nozzle tip and intake port due to the freezing of moisture around the components is often observed in LPLi systems. This icing phenomenon is the direct cause of unstable engine combustion, resulting in engine emissions. Therefore in this research, a spray visualization test for LPG injection was carried out to obtain the basic information of an LPLi injector, then the effects of butane and propane mixing rates on ice formation at the intake port and nozzle tip was investigated. As a result, the icing characteristics of them showed contrary results according to the mixing rates.

본 연구에서는 온도 변화에 따른 실제 연료에서의 증기압 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 부탄 100%를 사용하였다. 연료공급방식은 V-6 엔진의 다점분사시스템과 동일하며 연료의 액상 가능성을 최소화하기 위하여 연료레일은 'L' 형상으로 설계하였고, 순차분사시스템을 사용하여 한 열로 작동되도록 하였다. 분사유량은 분사시간, 엔진속도, 연료공급압력에 따라서 측정되었다 또한 액상으로 분사되는 것을 방지하기 위하여 베이퍼라이져와 연료레일 온도를 변화시켜 가며 실험하였다. 그 결과 연료분사의 기본적인 특징으로 공기와 LPG분사의 상대적인 차이를 확인하였다. 하지만 냉 시동 하에서는 압력이 조금만 증가하여도 액상분사가 발생하였고, 베이퍼라이져와 연료레일 사이에서의 충분히 높은 온도가 가스분사를 하는데 매우 중요한 인자임을 확인하였다. 또한, 베이퍼라이져의 온도는 LPG를 기상으로 유지하는데 보다 중요한 역할을 했고, 연료레일의 'L' 형상은 액상분사의 억제에 기여를 하였다.

A commercial diesel engine was converted into a dedicated natural gas engine to reduce the exhaust emissions in a retrofit of a diesel-fueled vehicle. The cylinder head and piston were remodeled into engine parts suited for a spark ignition engine using natural gas. The remodeling of the combustion chamber changed the compression ratio from 21.5 to 10.5. A multi-point port injection(MPI) system for a dedicated natural gas engine was also adopted to increase the engine power and torque through improved volumetric efficiency, to allow a rapid engine response to changes in throttle position, and to control the precise equivalence ratio during cold-start and engine warm-up. The performance and exhaust emissions of the retrofitted natural gas engine after remodeling a diesel engine are investigated. The emissions of the retrofitted natural gas engine were low enough to satisfy the limits for a transitional low emission vehicle(TLEV) in Korea. We concluded that a diesel engine can be effectively converted into a dedicated natural gas engine without any deterioration in engine performance or exhaust emissions.

셰일가스의 채굴량 확장과 러시아를 통한 PNG (Pipeline Natural Gas)의 도입은 천연가스가 유력한 대체 연료임을 시사해주고 있다. 따라서 향후 증대될 천연가스의 공급에 맞추어 해당 연료의 수요처 증대가 필수적인 상황이다. 이와 같은 상황에서 수송분야는 저탄소 기체 연료인 천연가스를 적용하기 적합한 분야이며, 이를 통해 이산화탄소와 입자상 물질 등의 유해 배기물질을 저감하는 데 큰 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다. 천연가스는 자발화 특성이 낮고, 내노킹(Anti-knocking)성이 우수하기 때문에 전기점화 방식에 적합하다. 최근 가솔린 엔진은 연비 개선을 위해 연소실에 직접 분사하는 방식을 주로 채택하고 있으나,연소실 내로 액상 직분사를 하는 반면 천연가스의 경우 액상분사 혹은 고압 분사가 어렵다. 따라서 포트에 분사하는 방식을 사용하므로 동등 흡기압력에서 연료의 분율이 흡입공기의 체적을 대체하여 가솔린 직분 방식에 비해 출력이 저하되는 현상을 피할 수 없게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 터보차저를 천연가스 포트 분사 엔진에 적용하여 흡기 압력 상향을 통한 출력 보상을 도모하고자 하였다.그 결과 천연가스 적용 시 흡기압력을 기존 가솔린 대비 5-27 % 상향 시 가솔린 직분사 엔진과 동등 출력을 확보함과 동시에 향상된 제동 열효율을 확인 할 수 있었다.
