Refrigerant flow rates of the multi-type air-conditioning system can be regulated by electronic expansion valves (EEV). The performance of the multi-type air-conditioning system may be improved by lowering the superheat at the compressor suction side. In this study, a superheat temperature setpoint reset algorithm was developed by using fuzzy logics, and a PI algorithm was applied to control the superheat temperature near setpoints. Experimental results showed energy savings and stable operations at a multi-type air-conditioning system. Therefore, the developed setpoint reset algorithm may be effectively used for the EEV superheat temperature control of the multi-type air-conditioning system.

For the bucket tip position control of the excavator, a traditional hydraulic excavator system was exchanged into an electro-hydraulic one. EPPR valves are attached to the traditional MCV and hydraulic joysticks are replaced by electronic ones to develop the electro-hydraulic system. To control the electronic pump with a good performance, the control logic for the pump is deduced from the AMESim simulation and the experimental method on the test bench. To get a good position control performance of the excavator bucket tip, PI+AntiWindup controller is selected as a position controller. The experimental results showed the good controllability for the electro-hydraulic excavator system on the test bench.

In this study, a mathematical model of the pneumatic part in a gas blow-down system is proposed. The mathematical model consists of four major parts: pressure vessel, reservoir, pressure regulator and pipe-line. To ensure accuracy in long-time simulations, heat transfer between gas and pressure vessel is considered. The model is validated by comparing simulation results with experimental data. Experiments are conducted on the ground, where free convection can be assumed. Simulation results indicate the proposed model can accurately describe behavior of a gas blow-down system. Therefore, it may be used for design and analysis of similar systems with a slight modification.

The control characteristics for radiant panel heating system with automatic thermostatic valves were researched by computer simulation and experiment. The unsteady energy analysis using equivalent R-C circuit method and radiation heat transfer analysis of enclosure analysis method with simple structured rooms was performed. The results of flow rate changes of the simulation study are good fit with the ones of experimental one.

An experimental study was performed to investigate characteristics of an inverter driven water-to-water refrigeration system with a variation of compressor frequencies and expansion devices. The frequency of a compressor varied from 30Hz to 75Hz, and performance of the systems applying three different expansion devices such as capillary tube, thermostatic expansion valve(TXV), and electronic expansion valve(EEV) were measured. The load conditions were altered by varying the temperature of the secondary fluid entering condenser and evaporator with a constant flow rate. When the test conditions were deviated from the standard value(rated value), TXV and EEV showed better performance than capillary tube due to optimum control of mass flow rate and superheat. In the present study, it was observed that the variable area expansion device had better performance than constant area expansion device in an inverter refrigeration system due to active control of flow area with a change of compressor frequency and load conditions.

It has recently shown that a solenoid valve can be utilized in a hydraulic position-control system by discontinuous control methods. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of solenoid valves on the response characteristics of a hydraulic position-control system by applying two kinds of discontinuous control methods i.e., Simple On-Off(SOF) and Pulsating On-Off(POF) controls. Three types of solenoid valves i.e., low-frequency, closed-center type(LF/C), low-frequency, tandem-center type(LF/T) were used in this study. Effects of loading conditions and control parameters on the response characteristics were experimentally examined and compared each other. Pressure transients within the actuator were also studied.

LPG is used in the home would have to depend on the provider, because there is no method for measuring the capacitance. In addition, by measuring the gas capacities can not be known because of the LPG gas replacement time and requires an alarm for replacement. In this study, and that the gas capacities to the trusted user and the supplier, in order to know when it is time to change to LPG gas by applying a Hall effect sensor developed a gas capacities measurement the valve system.

This study was performed to design the optimal block type expansion valve through analyzing the characteristics of the block type expansion valve in automotive air conditioning system using HFC-134a. Because an alternative refrigerant (HFC-l34a) is being used instead of CFC-12 for automotive air conditioning system, newly designed air conditioning components are necessary due to changes in characteristics. The performance tests were accomplished through the test bench, that is manufactured based on the study. And then it was carried out to measure the variation of temperature and pressure at each part of the air conditioning system according to the compressor speed.

The most important parameter for hydraulic active suspension system is to sustain desirable vehicle maneuvering stability and ride comfort without increasing power consumption. The performance of hydraulic active suspension system depends on damping force of body damping valve and piston damping valve. Hydraulic actuator design and damping valve parameter selection are essential and basic procedure to design hydraulic system. This paper is on computer simulation with use of mathematical model that was delivered from dynamic characteristic of hydraulic actuator, as know basic damping characteristics of hydraulic active suspension system. The aim of this paper is to select the system parameter that affect mainly hydraulic active suspension, and identify the validity on the system parameter selection.

Capacities of a tandem-type air-conditioner may be modulated by turning on and off of multiple compressors, and adjusting the position of a electronic expansion valve. In this study, control algorithms for compressors and a electronic expansion valve were developed by using fuzzy logics. The pressure control algorithm was also developed for the safe operation of compressors. There algorithms were implemented in a test lab and proved to be effective for the control of indoor air temperature and superheat temperature,
