[가솔린엔진부문] 흡기포트 분사식 LPG 엔진의 연료량 제어 및 연소 특성에 관한 연구

In this paper. characteristics of a port injection type LPG fuel system were investigated to adopt the system 10 a spark ignition engine through rig test. It was also studied that engine combustion characteristics for limited conditions and the precise control method of LPG fuel supply. As a basic experiment, the effects and the relationships of parameters such as orifice area, fuel delivery pressure, fuel temperature and flow coefficient were established. From this, one dimensional compressible flow equation can be applied to control gaseous fuel flow rate by setting pressure difference between vaporizer and manifold to a certain range, for example about 1.2 bar in a naturally aspirated engine. The combustion analysis results of LPG engine were also compared with those of gasoline engine according to spark timing and load change. At part load and stoichiometric condition, the MBT spark timing of LPG fueled engine is retarded by 2' - 4'. CA compared to that of gasoline engine. On the contrary, the spark timing of LPG fueled engine can be advanced by 5' - 10' CA at WOT, which results from higher Octane Number of LPG fuel compared 10 gasoline.
