In the hydrogen compression cycle, which is currently being developed, hydrogen is compressed to a very high pressure using a compressor, and then stored and used in a high-pressure vessel. This shows that an increase in the temperature of hydrogen in the vessel due to a pressure rise during the filling process and the pressure fatigue due to the repeated cycle may cause problems in the reliability of the vessel. In this paper, for the entire processes in a 50 MPa hydrogen compression system, theoretical and numerical methods were conducted to analyze the following: the temperature increase of hydrogen in the vessel and the time required to reach thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, the change in temperature of hydrogen passing through the pressure reducing valve, and the required capacity of the heat exchanger for cooling the vessel. The results will be useful for the design and construction of hydrogen compression systems, such as hydrogen charging stations.

Due to the climate changing, the world's countries are tightening regulations on CO2 and air pollutants emission to solve them. In addition, eco friendly vehicles is increasing to replace automobiles in internal combustion engine. Recently, the government is supporting the expansion of hydrogen refueling infrastructure and localization of core equipment in refueling facilities according to the hydrogen economy road map. In this study, design of the Excess flow limiting device in FCEV cylinder valve using by finite element analysis and performed performance tests on prototype. Major test results as hydrostatic strength, continued operation, operation, pressure impulse, leakage showed that the excess flow limiting device meets the performance requirements according to ISO 12619-2 and ISO 12619-11.

Natural gas vehicles are being applied to city buses for improving air quality in metropolitan and have proved the effective way to reduce the pollutant emissions. Liquified Natural Gas(LNG) has also attempted a vehicle fuel in order to raise the fuel storage density that is a disadvantage of Compressed Natural Gas(CNG). This paper described insulation characteristic of a LNG storage tank. From the results, adiabatic coefficient of a tested tank was around $40J/h{\cdot}^{\circ}C{\cdot}m^2$ and it was the lower level than gas safety regulation limit. Two experimental methods were adopted to justify the evaluation results and they were revealed that the results were very similar to each other. Also, through testing relief valve operation characteristic it was investigated venting amount of boiled off gas.

진공펌프의 성능을 나타내는 여러 파라미터가 있지만 가장 중요한 성능지표는 역시 배기속도라고 할 수 있다. 배기속도는 물리적으로 체적유량(volume flow rate, L/s 또는 m3/hr) 즉 단위시간당 펌프 흡기구에 들어오는 기체의 체적을 가리킨다. 펌프 흡기구 단면을 지나가는 체적을 직접 측정하는 것은 거의 불가능하므로 진공 전문가들은 흡기구로 들어가는 기체 유량(flow rate, mbar${\cdot}$L/s 또는 Pa${\cdot}$m3/s)과 흡기구 압력(mbar 또는 Pa)을 측정한 후 유량을 압력으로 나누어 주는 방식으로 배기속도를 측정한다. 유량은 표면 기체 방출을 고려하더라도 실용적인 측면에서 보면 위치에 상관없이 불변하는 값으로 볼 수 있어서 유량을 어떻게 정밀하게 잴 것인가 하는 방법만 있으면 편리한 위치에서 측정하면 된다. 반면에 압력을 정밀하게 측정하는 방식은 확립되어 있지만 막상 어디서 측정하는 것이 옳은가 하는 것은 의외로 쉽지 않다. 펌프의 배기속도를 측정하는 상황을 몇 가지로 가정해 보면, 규격에 입각한 표준용기에 달아 정식으로 재는 것, 게이지가 부착된 마구리판을 달고 간이로 재는 것, 펌프가 사용되고 있는 시스템 현장에서 재는 것이 있을 수 있고 펌프가 달려 있는 상태도 직접 용기에 달거나, 도관 또는 어댑터 및 밸브를 통해 달리는 경우가 있다. 앞에서 펌프 배기속도 계산 시 사용하는 흡기구 압력이란 엄밀히 말하면 흡기구를 바라보는 방향으로 가해지는 압력을 말하는데 이는 진공 게이지를 펌프 흡기구 면에서 상류를 향하도록 놓을 때 얻을 수 있는 값으로 막상 실행하는 것은 어렵다. 표준용기의 구조는 진공 게이지를 특정 위치에 달 때 마치 흡기구 면에 놓인 게이지처럼 흡기구 압력을 정확하게 측정할 수 있도록 고안된 것이지만 때에 따라서는 여러 변형된 측정 방식을 사용할 수밖에 없는 상황이 만들어지므로 어떤 보정을 거치면 올바른 배기속도 값을 구할 수 있는지 살펴볼 필요가 있다.

A pressure vessel is a cylindrical container that accommodates a pressurized fluid. In real life, there are propane canisters and butane canisters. According to data from the Korea Gas Safety Corporation, The number of domestic gas accidents is average 33 cases of domestic gas accidents occurred per year and 20.8 for mobile butane gases. The purpose of this study was to investigate a method to prevent this kind of explosion. Common studies include forced drain through safe holes, forced separation of butane canisters, and manufacturing of high-strength steel. This paper uses a concept that reduces stress inside the cylinder using prestressed method that precede compression. In other words, install a long liner in both ends of the pressure vessel. I want to develop a safety device that acts like a gas intermediate valve.

Systematic safety research by Korea Government has been made to enhance the safety of CNG (compressed natural gas) vehicles since the burst of compressed cylinder of an urban bus in August 9, 2010. This article summarizes some major activities to ensure the safety of CNG vehicles, which covers review of regulation, safety management system including standard of inspection and certification, and training program of inspectors and car mechanics. Specifically, the followings were reviewed; type of CNG cylinder, location of CNG cylinder, material and type of fuel line and vent line, modification of pipeline connection, installation of gas detector, installation of emergency shutdown valve, installation of protecting cover for cylinder, obligations for CNG vehicle filling station. improving periodical inspection, routine test on gas vehicles, training program for engaged in gas vehicles, and designation of safety manager for CNG bus company. This paper suggests how to improve safety of CNG vehicles as a result of review of above mentioned check items.

The safety valve is the important equipment used to protect the pressure vessel and pressure facilities from overpressure by discharging the operation medium when the pressure of system is reaching the design pressure of the system. Some materials for a safety valve disk are studied in this paper. A studied safety valve has to resist sulfurous acid and nitric acid. etc. Furthermore teflon which is a general material of the valve easily sticks to a disk and a sliding part of the valve by thermal expansion. Therefore both teflon and stainless-steel are used to improve these problems. The analysis of the thermal expansion is conducted with commercial FEM software to improve the problems. Boundary conditions were temperature and load in this study. From the analysis, the thermal expansion of by teflon/stainless steel-made valve is lower than that of teflon-made valve under high temperature. Thus, teflon/stainless steel-made valve is safe and no malfunction by thermal expansion.

This study proposes an idea for energy saving in apartment machine rooms. A conventional district heating system is equipped with constant-flow pumps and bypass valves to regulate pump differential pressure. Each family unit is equipped with a constant-flow on/off valve. This leads to excessive hot water circulation and a high return temperature. To reduce energy loss, this study assumes that each family unit is renovated with a heating valve which regulates the return temperature at $35^{\circ}C$. The hot water supply pump is also replaced with a pump with an inverter to vary flow rate. Expected energy savings is then estimated from field test data. According to the results, pump electricity consumption was reduced by 6,100 kWh for a family unit building over about half a year. The supply temperature can also be lowered by $5^{\circ}C$, which can contribute to a production of electricity of 10.3 kWh/ton of hot water.

The processes for the smelting of a metal product and the solidification of a molten salt were developed respectively to treat the products from the electrochemical reduction process. The method for the separation of a metal product in a magnesia container from the residual. salt and consequent smelting of it to a metal ingot by the multi step heating in vacuum was proposed. The new concept using a dual vessel and a salt valve was also suggested for the solidification of a molten salt into a regular size and shape which is suitable for the transport and measurement. The results obtained in the study will be applied to the design of the hot cell demonstration system of the Advanced Spent Fuel Conditioning Process of KAERI.
