Recently, various problems occur because of increasing in demand for energy. We focus on DME as alternative fuel that can generate from various raw materials and reform at the low temperature. Moreover, the point of view of the thermal efficiency improvement, we propose DME hybrid combustion engine. This engine drive compression ignition in part load region by DME direct-injection and spark ignition excluding the part load region with DME reformed gas. In this report, we researched the DME reforming process and characteristic of Copper-Zinc, Aluminum, Nickel series Catalyst while changing reforming temperature and Gas Hourly Space Velocity.
