Abstract

The Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine concept allows for both NOx and particulate matter to be reduced simultaneously, and it is a promising way to meet the next environmental challenges. Unfortunately, HCCI combustion often increases CO and HC emissions. The development of oxidation catalyst (OC) requires high conversion efficiency for CO and HC at low temperature. Conventional oxidation catalyst technologies may not be able to convert these emissions because of the saturation of active catalytic sites. The OC used in this study was 600 cpsi cordierite. Three kinds of OC with different amounts of Pt and Pd were used. The influence of the space velocity (SV), $H_2O$ and $O_2$ concentration was also studied. All types of OCs were found to have over 90% CO conversion efficiencies at $170^{\circ}C$. When in the presence of water vapor, CO conversion was increased, but $C_3H_8$ conversion was decreased. The performance of the OC was not influenced by initial the HC concentration. The 2Pt/Pd catalyst was better in terms of thermal aging than the Pt-only catalyst. The $LOT_{50}$ of both fresh and aged OC was increased with increasing SV and with the presence of $H_2O$.

HCCI 엔진은 배출가스 중 PM과 NOx 가 저감되나, 일반적으로 상용디젤 엔진보다 HC, CO 가 증가하는 특성을 보인다. 특히 과도한 HC 에서 발생하는 SOF 로 인해 total PM 에 영향을 미친다. 이는 HCCI 엔진에서 DOC 를 통한 HC 저감이 중요하며 HC 의 정화성능이 우수한 OC 의 개발이 필요하다. 실험은 모델가스를 이용하여 2Pt/1Pd 의 충전량이 다른 3 종의 OC(600cpsi cordierite)를 가지고 수행하였다. OC 에서 HC, SV, $H_2O$, $O_2$의 조건을 달리하여 OC 성능특성을 $LOT_{50}$에서 평가하였다. 그 결과 CO 는 $170^{\circ}C$에서 3 종의 촉매 모두 90% 이상의 정화특성을 나타내었고 Pd 가 충전 된 OC 는 열화 된 후 Pt 만충전 된 OC 보다 우수한 내구특성을 나타내었다. Fresh 와 aged 된 OC 에서 SV 의 증가 및 $H_2O$의 반응참여는 $LOT_{50}$성능이 낮아지는 결과를 나타내었다.
