본 발명은 디젤엔진에 대한 대체연료로서 현재 활발히 연구개발이 추진되고 있는 디메틸 에테르(Dimethyl Ether; 이하 DME라함)를 기존 디젤엔진에 적용하기 위하여, 기존 디젤엔진 연료인 경유대신에 DME연료를 사용하는 경우에 일부 물성의 커다란 차이로 인하여 적용이 어렵기 때문에, 액체(液體)의 DME연료를 보다 용이하게 적용하기 위한 흡기포트 분사방식을 적용한 DME 연료공급시스템에 관한 것이다.The present invention uses DME fuel instead of diesel diesel fuel, in order to apply dimethyl ether (hereinafter referred to as DME), which is currently being actively researched and developed as an alternative fuel for diesel engines, to existing diesel engines. In this case, since it is difficult to apply due to a large difference in some physical properties, the present invention relates to a DME fuel supply system using an intake port injection method for more easily applying a liquid DME fuel.

에너지의 대부분을 수입에 의존하고 있는 우리나라로서는 한정된 에너지 자원의 효율적 이용은 매우 중요한 과제이고, 범지구적으로도 지구환경보전과도 직결되는 문제이다. 따라서 철강 석유화학공업 등 각종 산업체에서 발생되는 부생가스의 활용 및 폐플라스틱 등 도시폐기물로부터 합성가스 제조등이 최근 활발하게 논의되고 있는 실정이다.For Korea, which relies on imports for the majority of its energy, efficient use of limited energy resources is a very important task, and is a problem that is directly linked to global environmental conservation. Therefore, the utilization of by-product gas generated in various industries such as steel petrochemical industry and the production of syngas from urban waste such as waste plastic are actively discussed.

역사적으로 볼 때, 1970년대의 석유위기 이후 석유 의존도를 줄이기 위해서 석탄계 합성가스를 원료로 한 C1 화학기술이 크게 대두된 바 있으며, 최근에도 공정개선을 위한 노력이 꾸준히 이어져, 관련 논문이나 특허만 해도 아주 방대한 양에 이르고 있다.Historically, since the 1970s oil crisis, C1 chemical technology using coal-based syngas has emerged to reduce dependence on petroleum.In recent years, efforts have been made to improve the process. It is reaching a very large amount.

합성가스는 중요한 C1 화학원료로서, 천연가스, 석탄뿐 아니라 바이오매스, 도시폐기물 등의 가연성 에너지원을 개질 또는 기화하여 얻을 수 있고, 각종 산업의 부생가스로도 만들 수 있다. 또한 이를 이용한 C1 화학의 주요 합성 대상물로서 디메틸에테르(dimethyl ether, 이하 DME라 함)는 메탄올과 함께 오래 전부터 연구되어 왔으나, 최근에는 휘발유나 경유를 대체할 수 있는 새로운 자동차용 연료로 서, 그리고 LPG에 대신할 가정용 연료 또는 발전용 연료로서 주목을 받고 있다.Synthetic gas is an important C1 chemical raw material and can be obtained by reforming or vaporizing not only natural gas and coal, but also flammable energy sources such as biomass and municipal waste, and can be made as by-product gas of various industries. In addition, dimethyl ether (hereinafter referred to as DME), which is a major synthesis target of C1 chemistry, has been studied with methanol for a long time, but recently, it is a new automobile fuel that can replace gasoline or diesel, and LPG It is attracting attention as a fuel for home use or fuel for power generation.

DME는 올레핀 생산, MTG(methanol to gasolin) 가솔린, 스프레이의 분사추진체, 메틸아세테이트 합성 등의 용도가 지금까지의 주된 용도였다. 그러나, 현재 DME는 스프레이, 냉매용 뿐만 아니라, 디젤기관용 청정 연료나, 액화석유가스(LPG)를 대신한 가정용 연료, 발전용 연료로서 주목을 받고 있는 화합물로서 메틸에테르라고도 한다. DME는 메탄올과 황산을 가열하면 생기는데, 공업적으로는 촉매로 인산알루미늄 등을 사용하여 메탄올을 탈수하여 제조한다.The main uses of DME have been olefin production, MTG (methanol to gasolin) gasoline, spray propulsion of spray, and synthesis of methyl acetate. However, DME is also referred to as methyl ether as a compound that is attracting attention not only for spray and refrigerant, but also as a clean fuel for diesel engines, a domestic fuel instead of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and a fuel for power generation. DME is produced by heating methanol and sulfuric acid. Industrially, DME is produced by dehydrating methanol using aluminum phosphate as a catalyst.

이러한 DME는 미개발 천연 가스나 석탄을 저장이 가능하고 운송이 간편한 환경 친화적인 에너지로 전환하는 기술로 일본의 NKK사 등에서 개발되어 있다(미국특허 제5,466,720호, 제5,389,689호, 제5,218,003호 등). DME는 저장 및 운송이 LPG 조건과 유사하여 LNG(Liquified Natural Gas) 대비 경제성이 있을 것으로 예상하여 미래의 에너지로 생산하는 각종 기술들이 개발되고 있다. DME는 세탄가가 55∼60 수준으로 일반 경유 보다도 높아 디젤 엔진의 연료로 사용하여 환경 오염도 줄이고 고갈되는 석유를 대체할 새로운 에너지로 이용하려는 노력이 진행되고 있다(미국특허 제6,147,125호).The DME is a technology for converting undeveloped natural gas or coal into environmentally friendly energy that can be stored and easily transported, and has been developed by NKK in Japan (US Pat. Nos. 5,466,720, 5,389,689, 5,218,003, etc.). DME anticipates that storage and transportation will be more economical than Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), because storage and transportation are similar to LPG conditions. DME has a cetane price of 55-60, which is higher than ordinary diesel, and is being used as a fuel for diesel engines to reduce environmental pollution and use it as a new energy to replace depleted oil (US Patent No. 6,147,125).

DME 사용을 위해서 압축 착화식 디젤 차량을 개조하는 여러 가지 노력이 진행되고 있으며 DME를 100% 사용하거나 경유와 병행하여 사용하려는 노력이 진행되고 있다(한국에너지 기술연구소, 1998년). DME는 디젤엔진의 연료로서 ① 세탄가(약 60)가 높기 때문에 디젤사이클 운전이 가능하여, 디젤엔진과 같은 수준의 에너지소비효율과 이산화탄소 배출량을 얻을 수 있고, ② 함산소연료(약 34.8wt%)이기 때문에, PM(입자상물질)의 발생이 극히 적으며, ③ EGR을 적용하여 저NOx 및 저PM의 동시실현이 가능하고, ④ LPG와 마찬가지로 약 5기압정도에서 상온 액화가 가능하기 때문에, 유사한 취급이 가능하여 현행 LPG 차량의 연료용기나 연료공급인프라 등을 대부분 준용할 수 있는 여러 장점이 있으며, 최근에 낮은 가격으로 DME를 제조할 수 있는 직접 합성반응기술이 개발됨에 따라서 앞으로는 DME가 디젤엔진의 대체연료로서 각광을 받을 것을 전망된다.Various efforts are being made to modify compression ignition diesel vehicles for the use of DME, and efforts are being made to use 100% of DME or in parallel with diesel (Korea Institute of Energy Research, 1998). DME is a fuel for diesel engines. ① Because of the high cetane number (approx. 60), diesel cycle operation is possible, so that energy consumption efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions can be obtained at the same level as diesel engines. ② Oxygenated fuel (about 34.8 wt%) Because of this, PM (particulate matter) is generated very little, ③ Simultaneous realization of low NOx and low PM is possible by applying EGR, ④ Similar to LPG, it is possible to liquefy at about 5 atmospheres. It is possible to apply most of the current LPG vehicle's fuel container and fuel supply infrastructure mutatis mutandis. Due to the recent development of direct synthesis reaction technology that can manufacture DME at low price, DME has been developed in the future. It is expected to get the spotlight as alternative fuel.

한편, 디젤엔진은 가솔린엔진보다 에너지 소비효율이 우수하고, 지구 온난화 가스인 이산화탄소의 배출이 적은 장점이 있으나, PM(입자상 물질)과 NOx의 배출량이 많은 단점이 있다. 이에, 디젤엔진의 저공해 대체연료로서 천연가스의 적용이 활발히 추진되고 있으나, 천연가스 전소엔진은 세탄가가 낮아서 오토싸이클(Otto Cycle) 엔진으로 개조해야하기 때문에, 디젤엔진에 비해 에너지 소비효율이 감소하고, 연료자체의 에너지밀도가 낮아 운행거리가 크게 감소하며, 연료공급인프라를 새로이 구축해야 하는 등 많은 문제점이 있다.On the other hand, the diesel engine has an energy consumption efficiency is superior to the gasoline engine, and the emissions of carbon dioxide, which is a global warming gas, has a merit, but PM (particulate matter) and NOx emissions have a lot of disadvantages. Therefore, the application of natural gas as a low pollution alternative fuel for diesel engines is being actively promoted. However, since the natural gas burner engine has to be converted to an auto cycle engine due to its low cetane value, the energy consumption efficiency is reduced compared to the diesel engine. As a result, the fuel density of the fuel itself is low, so the driving distance is greatly reduced, and there is a lot of problems such as a new fuel supply infrastructure.

DME를 디젤엔진에 그대로 적용하면, PM은 크게 저하하나, NOx는 거의 비슷한 수준으로 배출된다. 한편, DME엔진의 배출가스에는 다량의 산소가 포함되기 때문에 가솔린엔진에 사용되는 촉매는 사용이 어려우므로, DME 엔진에 적합한 촉매컨버터의 개발도 요망된다. 또한, DME는 연소시에 흑연을 발생하지 않아서 흡배기밸브의 마모증가가 예상되며, 연소생성물에 수분의 함량이 많기 때문에 배기계의 부식도 예상된다, 또한, 실린더라이너나 축베어링의 부식·마모 등 엔진의 신뢰성에 관한 문제가 예상되므로, 이를 향상시킬 수 있는 기술을 확보할 필요가 있다.If the DME is applied to the diesel engine as it is, PM is greatly reduced, but NOx is emitted at about the same level. On the other hand, since the catalyst used in the gasoline engine is difficult to use because the exhaust gas of the DME engine contains a large amount of oxygen, it is also desirable to develop a catalytic converter suitable for the DME engine. In addition, DME does not generate graphite during combustion, which increases the wear of the intake / exhaust valves.In addition, the combustion products have a high moisture content, which may cause corrosion of the exhaust system.In addition, engines such as corrosion and wear of cylinder liners and shaft bearings are also expected. Since the problem of the reliability of the is expected, it is necessary to secure the technology to improve it.

또한, DME를 자동차용 연료로서 사용하는 경우에는, 에어졸에서 사용하고 있는 순도 99.9% 보다는 DME의 제조과정에서 발생하는 불순물, 물, 메탄올 등을 정제하지 않고 어느 정도까지 혼입하여 사용하는 방법도 고려할 수 있다. 그러나, 메탄올과 물이 혼입되면, 부식이나 배출가스의 측면에서 영향이 있을 것도 예상된다.In addition, when using DME as an automobile fuel, a method of incorporating to some extent without purifying impurities, water, methanol, etc. generated in the manufacturing process of the DME can be considered rather than the purity of 99.9% used in the aerosol. have. However, when methanol and water are mixed, it is also expected to have an effect in terms of corrosion and exhaust gas.

DME는 세탄가가 높기 때문에 압축착화에 의한 디젤사이클 운전이 가능하여 디젤기관과 동일한 수준의 열효율과 이산화탄소 배출량을 얻을 수 있고, 함산소연료이기 때문에 디젤엔진에서 문제시되고 있는 PM(입자상물질)을 거의 배출하지 않는 커다란 장점을 가지고 있다. 특히 최근에 천연가스나 석탄 등으로부터 직접합성법에 의한 저가 제조기술이 개발됨에 따라서 값싸게 제조가 가능할 것으로 평가되고 있는 연료로서, 앞으로 디젤기관의 저공해 대체연료로서 유망시되고있다. 또한 LPG와 유사하게 낮은 압력으로(약 5bar) 상온에서 액화가 가능하기 때문에 차량탑재가 용이하다.Because DME has a high cetane number, it is possible to operate diesel cycles by compression ignition, so it can obtain the same level of thermal efficiency and carbon dioxide emission as diesel engines, and because it is an oxygen-containing fuel, it almost emits PM (particulate matter) which is a problem in diesel engines It has a big advantage not to do it. In particular, as a low-cost manufacturing technique developed by a direct synthesis method from natural gas or coal is recently developed, fuel is estimated to be able to be manufactured cheaply, and is being promising as a low pollution alternative fuel for diesel engines. In addition, it is easy to mount the vehicle because it can be liquefied at room temperature with low pressure (about 5bar) similar to LPG.

그러나, DME는 경유에 비해 점도가 낮기 때문에 현행 디젤엔진의 분사시스템에 적용하는 경우에, 고압의 연료분사계 등에서 연료누수 발생가능성이 높고, 또한 경유에 비해 탄성계수가 아주 작고 압축성이 높기 때문에 압력 및 온도변화에 대해 적정한 연료분사량의 확보가 어려운 문제점이 있어서, 낮은 분사압력의 분사계 채택이 바람직하다.However, since DME has a lower viscosity than diesel, it has a high possibility of fuel leakage in high-pressure fuel injection systems when applied to the current diesel engine injection system, and also has a very small elastic modulus and high compressibility compared to diesel. And there is a problem that it is difficult to secure an appropriate fuel injection amount against temperature changes, it is preferable to adopt an injection system of a low injection pressure.

디젤엔진에 대한 현재의 DME 적용방식은 고압 연료분사펌프를 사용하여 실린더헤드에 설치된 분사노즐로 고압의 연료를 실린더에 직접분사하는 기존의 연료공급시스템을 개조하여 실용화 하고자 하는 방식이나, DME 연료를 고압으로 분사(200bar 이상)하는데에 따른 연료누수, 높은 압축성에 따른 적정 연료분사량 확보, 리턴연료의 처리 문제 등의 어려움에 직면해있고, 이를 해결하기 위해서는 DME연료시스템이 복잡해지고 가격도 크게 상승하는 문제가 있다.  The current DME application method for diesel engines is to convert the existing fuel supply system that directly injects high-pressure fuel into the cylinder by using a high-pressure fuel injection pump, which is installed in the cylinder head. Fuel leakage due to injection at high pressure (more than 200 bar), securing proper fuel injection amount due to high compressibility, and treatment of return fuel, etc. are faced with problems. To solve this problem, DME fuel system is complicated and the price is greatly increased. there is a problem.

따라서, 본 발명은 기존의 디젤엔진에 사용하는 고압의 연료분사펌프에 의한 경유 연료공급시스템을 그대로 사용하면서, DME는 별도의 저압방식인 흡기포트 분사방식에 의한 연료공급시스템을 사용하여 흡기포트에 설치된 DME 인젝터에 의해 저압의 액체상태로 연료를 공급할 수 있도록 함으로써, 경유연료와 병행하여 사용하거나, 또는 경유 연료공급시스템은 사용하지 않고 저압방식인 흡기포트 분사방식에 의한 DME 액체연료공급시스템만을 사용하거나, 필요에 따라서는 경유만에 의해 운전이 가능케 하고자 한다.
Therefore, the present invention uses the diesel fuel supply system by the high-pressure fuel injection pump used in the existing diesel engine as it is, while the DME uses a fuel supply system by a separate low pressure intake port injection method to the intake port. By using the installed DME injector to supply fuel in a low pressure liquid state, it can be used in parallel with diesel fuel or use only the DME liquid fuel supply system by low pressure intake port injection method without using diesel fuel supply system. Or, if necessary, it will be possible to drive only via diesel.

이하 본 발명에 따른 디젤엔진용 흡기포트 분사방식의 DME 액체연료공급시스템을 첨부도면과 함께 상세히 설명하기로 한다.DME liquid fuel supply system of the intake port injection method for a diesel engine according to the present invention will be described in detail with the accompanying drawings.
