대기오염에 대한 관심이 증대하면서 대기오염물질의 저감에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 차량용 요소수(Urea solution)를 이용한 디젤 차량의 질소산화물(NOx) 제거는 큰 효과를 나타내고 있다. 요소수의 품질은 국내법으로 엄격히 규정하고 있으나 요소수 내 불순물의 증대는 질소산화물 저감 효과를 감소시키게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일정 온도와 시간동안 요소수를 가열한 후 요소수의 물성변화를 분석하였다. 또한, 요소수를 보관하는 저장용기와 저장온도의 변화에 따른 요소수 물성변화도 함께 분석하였다. 요소수를 일정시간 가열한 후 요소수 내 뷰렛함량은 증가하고 요소함량은 감소하였으며, 요소함량감소에 따라 밀도와 굴절률도 함께 감소하였다. 철제 및 PET 용기와 일정온도($30^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$)에서 실시한 저장안정성 시험에서는 물성변화가 나타나지 않았다.

Urea-SCR system, the selective catalytic reduction using urea as reducing agent, is a powerful technique to reduce nitrogen oxides(NOx) emitted from diesel engines. However, a tank of urea(32.5 wt%)-water solution can be frozen in low ambient temperature levels of below $-11^{\circ}C$. The purpose of this study is to understand freezing and melting phenomena of the urea-water solution, and its can be applied to get the urea-water solution from frozen it within 5 minutes after cold start. Factors considered were the type of heater and the urea tank shape. From the results, it was found that melting volume of cartridge heater B during 5 minutes of heating period was 83ml when supplying electric power of 150W. Horizontal heater B, which was put in the narrow bottom space of the tank T1, had fast melting characteristics.

The popularity of diesel engines is derived primarily from their higher thermal efficiency resulting from higher compression ratio. NOx removal from the diesel emissions is very important to meet stringent emission regulations. NOx emission from diesel engines is removed by an urea-SCR or an LNT system. The urea-SCR system needs the urea-solution supply system with concentration and level sensor. This study was carried out to develop a sensor for the measurement of urea-solution concentration by an electric conductivity method. Considering experimental parameters were the material of electrode, two kinds of electric power(AC or DC), the distance between two electrodes, and the length of electrode. It was found that the AC electric power was more useful to measure the urea-solution concentration compared to DC, because it prevented an ionization of the urea-solution. The silver rod coated with Pt is the most useful electrode, tendency of which is similar to Pt rod, and the cost is more economic. We could also find out the optimum distance between two electrodes and the length of electrode was 10mm and 3mm, respectively.

Recently, there has been rising interest in applying urea-SCR systems to large marine diesel engines because the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has decided to enforce NOx reduction regulations. Generally, in the case of urea-SCR of the marine diesel engine, a type of twin fluid atomizer has been using for injection of the urea solution. This study conducted to investigate an effect of the atomization of external-mixing twin fluid nozzle on the conversion efficiency of reductant. The lab-scaled experiment device was installed to mimic the urea-SCR system of the marine diesel engine for this study. In a low temperature inflow gas condition which is similar with the exhaust temperature of large marine diesel engine, this study found that the conversion efficiency of reductant of when relative big size urea solution droplets are injected into exhaust gas stream can be larger than that of when small size urea solution droplets are injected. According to results of this study, the reason was associated with decrease of reaction rate constant caused from temperature drop of inflow gas by assist air of twin fluid atomizer.

Urea-SCR which is one of the aftertreatment technologies for reducing the NOx emission is widely used. An experimental study was performed to investigate urea decomposition under various thermo-fluid conditions, with different temperatures and velocities of inflow gas, and urea solution quantities. 40 wt. % aqueous urea solutions were used in this study. The inflow gas conditions were similar to the exhaust conditions of a large marine engine. The spray performance of urea solution injector was identical under all experimental conditions. The conversion efficiency of $NH_3$ was larger than that of HNCO under all experimental conditions, unlike for the theoretical thermolysis reaction.

This research focused on the spray and distribution characteristics of urea solution by applying flow visualization techniques and did durability and driver test on injectors as well. The spray characteristics of urea solution was observed by CCD camera. Also, the distribution characteristics of urea solution was evaluated quantitatively as well by using 3D laser scanner equipment. It was considered that it was reasonable to use the injector for gasoline engine in order to inject the urea. The best distribution chart result was observed near 45cm distance difference between catalyst and urea spray injector. As a result of trapped urea distribution chart analysis, optimal pressure and volumetric flow rates of air and urea were derived in order to improve the distribution of Urea. This information may contribute to provide fundamental data in the future.

Diesel engines can produce higher fuel efficiency and lower $CO_2$ emission, they are subject to ever more stringent emission regulation. However, there are two major emission concerns fo diesel engines like such as particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Moreover, it is not easy to satisfy the regulations on the emission of NOx and PM, which are getting more strengthened. One of the solutions is to apply the new combustion concept using multistage injection such as HCCI and PCCI. The other solution is to apply after-treatment systems. For example, lean NOx trap catalyst, Urea-SCR and others have various advantages and disadvantages Especially, Urea-SCR system have advantages such as a high conversion efficiency and a wide operation conditions. Hence the key factor to implementation of Urea-SCR technology, good mixing of urea(Ammonia) and gas, reducing Ammonia slip. Urea mixer components are required to facilitate evaporation and mixing because the liquid state of urea poses significant barriers for evaporation, and the distance to mixer is the most critical that affect mixer performance. In this study, to find out the distance from injector to mixer and simulation factor, a laser diagnostics and high speed camera are used to analyze urea injector spray characteristics and to present a distribution of urea solution in transparent manifold In addition, Droplet Uniformity Index is calculated from the acquired images by using image processing method to clarify the distribution of spray.

Urea-SCR 시스템은 주로 열해리와 증발시간의 부족으로 인해 발생하는 암모니아 슬립 현상과 관련된 몇 가지 문제점들을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 문제점들은 분사된 요소수용액의 불균일한 분포를 초래한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, 배기가스와 요소수용액 사이의 증발 및 혼합특성을 강화시키기 위해 인젝터 장착 각도 그리고 믹서의 장착 및 설치 각도와 같은 다양한 매개변수들을 바꾸며 전산해석 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 이와 같은 매개변수들이 배기가스와 요소수용액의 증발 및 혼합특성에 상당한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 이 매개변수들의 최적화가 요구된다. 또한, 본 논문은 Urea-SCR 분사 시스템의 DeNOx 성능을 증가시키고 암모니아 슬립을 감소시키기 위한 최적 설계 시 유용한 기준을 제안할 것이다.
