Abstract

우리나라의 LPG자동차 기술은 2003년 LPG액상분사방식 차량의 양산을 계기로 크게 발전하기 시작하였으며, 지금까지 관련기술의 발전을 거치면서 SULEV 배출가스 규제를 만족하는 수준에 이르렀다. 우리나라의 LPG자동차 등록수는 240여만 대를 넘어서면서 세계 1위의 LPG자동차 보유수를 보이고 있다. 그러나 이러한 많은 대수를 보유하고 있음에도 불구하고, 지금까지 LPG자동차의 핵심 연료시스템은 외산기술을 이용하는 라이센스 제작, 조립 및 판매를 진행하고 있다. 특히 LPG액상분사식 자동차의 핵심부품인 LPG인젝터는 국제 부품공급사인 C사의 D 인젝터를 이용하여 왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국산 LPG인젝터의 개발을 이루고자 하며, 개발과정에서 가장 핵심적인 LPG 누설성능 개선에 영향을 미치는 코팅기술의 성능향상연구를 집중하였다. 본 연구에서 WCC 코팅 및 구조 최적화를 통하여 기존의 D 인젝터의 0.06cc/min 누설성능을 0.04cc/min 수준 이하로 낮출 수 있었다. The LPG engine technology in Korea has made significant advances with the mass production of LPG vehicle with liquid phase LPG injection system, and have reached to satisfy the SULEV emission regulations. As of now, domestic production of LPG fuelled vehicles in Korea have reached more than 2.4 millions, which is the best in the world. But in the technical point of view, the key technologies for fuel injection system of LPG fuelled engine are mainly dependent on foreign license. Especially, fuel injector in the liquid phase LPG injection system has been imported from C company, which supplies LPG injector worldwide in the name of model D. In the context, it is quite urgent to develop the LPG injector technology in Korea. In this study, WCC coating which is key technology to develop LPG injector by reducing the fuel leakage was developed and tested. Considering the fuel leakage of 0.06cc/min in commercial LPG injector, fuel leakage was reduced down to 0.04cc/min with WCC coating technology and optimization of injector structure.
