Air-operated valve is one of principal valves that are used to control fluid flow in nuclear power plants. A periodic diagnosis for the safety of power plants is necessary. But there are many difficulties such as economic loss caused by income of high cost devices and a matter hard to deal with users. In this study, we developed the diagnostic system that users of power plants are easy to handle. The diagnostic system is composed of database module, diagnosis test module and analysis module.

Although the globe is the most typical valve to control high pressure drop in piping system, it is very hard to figure out the characteristics of flow field in the globe valve caused by its complex geometry, So there is very few studies to find out flow characteristics of globe valve. In this study numerical analysis for flow field in the globe valve is carried out using the FLUENT code which is commercial CFD program. Pressure drop through the globe valve is also measured to verify the results come from numerical analysis. Comparing experiment with numerical analysis, two results are very close to each other.

Pressure drop through the globe valve is also measured to verify the results come from numerical analysis. Comparing experiment with numerical analysis, two results are very close to each other. Also finite element method is employed to evaluate the safety of globe valve using the results coming from the flow analysis to make the boundary conditions for FEM analysis. Maximum stress appears on the inlet channel of valve where inlet flow runs against. Because the maximum stress between 11.7 MPa to 3.6 MPa is within 3.4% of yield stress. the structural safety of valve is considered to be very sound

This paper presents the meter-out and meter-in speed control characteristics of a pneumatic cylinder with relief valve type cushion device. The piston displacement and velocity are measured to investigate high speed driving performance with variation of the pressure setting in relief valve, air supply pressure, load mass, the supply and exhaust flow rate from the cylinder. Also, the internal pressures and temperatures driving pressure and cushion chamber are measured. The piston displacements and velocities of meter-out and meter-in control are compared experimentally determined data. A comparison experimental data meter-out and meter-in control show that a relief valve type cushion device is suitable for high speed pneumatic cylinders. The desired response characteristics of piston displacement and velocity are satisfactory adjust the pressure setting of a relief valve with varying system parameters such as air supply pressure, load mass and controlled flow rate.

This paper presents a simulation model of a double-acting high-speed pneumatic cylinder with a relief valve type cushion mechanism. The model predicts piston motion, mass flow rate, pressure and temperature time histories of cushion chamber. Of interest here is to investigate the cushioning effect of varying the piston and piston-rod diameter, cushion ring diameter and length, and stoke in cushion mechanism. As a result, this cushion mechanism is found to be adequate under high-speed driving of pneumatic cylinders. The simulation model proposed here will be very useful to analyze the dynamic characteristics and to improve or design the better cushion mechanism in high-speed pneumatic cushion cylinders.

원자력 발전소와 화력 발전소에서는 양질의 전기를 생산하기 위해서는 발전기에 연결된 고압 및 저압 증기터빈에 최적량의 증기를 공급하여야 한다. 터빈에 증기를 공급하거나 차단하는 특수한 밸브인 터빈출력제어장치를 사용하고 있으며, 이 터빈출력제어장치는 유압서보 액추에이터로 구동 된다. 발전소에서는 유압시스템에서 생성되는 기체로 인하여 유압서보 액추에이터의 성능이 저하되거나, 생성된 기체가 압축되면서 발생하는 열로서 씰을 태우고 마모를 증가시켜서 빈번한 고장이 유발된다. 일부 발전소에서는 고정형 오리피스를 사용하여 공기를 배출하고 있지만 많은 유량배출에 따른 동력 손실과 빈번하게 작동되는 펌프, 전기모터 및 밸브 등의 고장을 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 고정형 오리피스와 같이 초기에 많은 량의 공기를 배출하고 정상운전에서는 매우 미세한 유량만 통과 시킬 수 있는 부하 감응형 공기 배출밸브를 모델링하고 해석하여 장착함으로서 유압서보 액추에이터의 제어 정밀성 확보와 기체 압축으로 인한 고장을 방지할 수 있게 하였다.

Pneumatic cylinders are widely used to actuators in automatic equipments because they are relatively inexpensive, simple to install and maintain, offer robust design and operation, are available in a wide range of standard sizes and design alternatives. This paper presents a comparative study among the dynamic characteristics of meter-out and meter-in speed control of pneumatic cushion cylinders with a relief valve type cushion mechanism. Because of the nonlinear differential equations and a requirement for simultaneous iterative solution in a mathematical model of a double acting pneumatic cushion cylinder, a computer simulation is carried out to investigate pressure, temperature, mass flow rate in cushion chamber and displacement and velocity time histories of piston under various operating conditions. It is found that the piston velocity and pressure response in meter-in speed control are more oscillatory than with meter-out those when pneumatic cushion cylinders are driven at a high-speed. In meter-out speed control, the effective area of the flow control valve is larger than that of meter-in, and the supply pressure has to be much higher than the pressure required to move the load because it has also to overcome the back pressure in cushion chamber.

Due to the tendency to use high speed pneumatic cylinders to improve productivity, cushioning devices are adopted to decelerate the piston motion of pneumatic cylinders to reduce noise, vibration, and impact. This paper presents a comparison of the cushion characteristics of a high speed pneumatic cylinder with a relief valve type cushioning device. The system parameters selected are the damping coefficient, Coulomb friction, heat transfer coefficient, and cracking pressure of the relief valve in the air cushioning device. The integral of the time multiplied square error (ITSE) is used to quantitative measure the cushioning performance to assess the effect of varying these. The cushioning performance achieved good results when the ITSE is a minimum value. In a comparison of the piston displacement and velocity with the variations in system parameters, the heat transfer coefficients are not as significantly affected as the other. Also, the cracking pressure of the relief valve is mainly affected by the pressure and temperature in the cushion chamber.

차량용 터보차져는 디젤엔진뿐만이 아니라 가솔린 엔진에서도 장착이 보편화 되었다. 터보차져는 엔진의 효율과 출력을 효과적으로 증가시키는데 매우 훌륭한 장치이기는 하나, 여러 가지의 소음 문제를 유발시키기도 한다. 이들 소음은 회전축의 거동에 의하여 유발되는 구조 전달 소음과 공기 유동에 의하여 유도되는 공력 소음으로 구분된다. 이와 더불어 웨이스트게이트 밸브를 전자적으로 제어하는 액츄에이터계 거동으로부터 발생되는 기계적 소음이 있는데, 이것이 밸브 떨림음이다. 이 소음은 밸브가 열려 있을 때에만 발생하는데, 이는 연결 구조물 사이의 간극이 외력에 의하여 강제 접촉을 유지하지 않고 밸브부터 액츄에이터 사이에 연결되어 있는 각 연결 구조물이 서로 자유단으로 접촉하고 있기 때문이다. 각 자유단 접촉점에서는 배기가스 맥동파에 의하여 충격 진동이 발생하고 이것이 터빈하우징으로 전달되어 밸브 떨림음이 발생하는 것이다. 그러나, 액츄에이터의 기계적 구동력에 의하여 액츄에이터의 모든 연결 구조물이 강제접촉을 유지하고 있는 기계식 액츄에이터에서는 발생하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 불평형 회전축을 갖는 소형 진동 모터를 이용하여 전자식 액츄에이터에서 발생하는 밸브 떨림음 평가를 위한 장치를 고안하였으며, 이 장치를 이용하여 밸브 떨림음의 저감효과를 평가하였다. 소음 저감 방법으로는 구조물간 접촉 간극 축소 또는 웨이브 와셔 삽입, 밸브레버와 터빈하우징 사이에 조립되는 부싱의 헐거움 끼움이 효과적임을 확인하였다.
