The global demand for Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) continues to increase and is facing a big cycle. To keep pace with the increase in international demand for LNG, the demand for LNG fueled ships is also increasing. Since LNG fuel tanks are operated in a cryogenic environment, insulation technology is very important, and although there are various types of insulation applied to Type C tanks, multi-layer insulation and vacuum insulation are typically applied. Powder insulation materials are widely used for storage and transportation of cryogenic liquids in tanks with such a complex insulation structure. In this study, compression tests at room and cryogenic temperature were performed on closed perlite, glass bubble, and fumed silica, which are representative powder insulation material candidates. Finally, the applicability to the Type C fuel tank was reviewed by analyzing the experimental results of this study.

위성체는 지상에서 우주환경시험을 거쳐 기능 및 작동상태를 점검해야 하며, 이를 위해서는 우주환경을 모사 할 수 있는 우주환경 모사장비가 필요하다. 위성체 및 위성체의 부품 성능을 검증하기 위해 사용되는 열진공 챔버는 진공용기, 진공시스템, 열제어 시스템 등으로 구성이 된다. 특히, 고온 및 극저온의 열환경을 모사하는 열제어 시스템이 열진공 챔버의 핵심이라고 할 수 있으며, 열제어 시스템의 성능은 극저온 블로워의 성능에 의해 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 극저온 블로워의 유동 해석과 블레이드의 구조해석을 통해 원심팬을 설계 하였으며, 구동부와 유체부의 열전달 방지를 위한 열장벽, 모터의 과열 방지를 위한 냉각 시스템 등이 설계되었으며, 이는 열해석을 통해 검증 되었다. 최종적으로 성능실험을 수행하여 극저온 블로워의 성능을 확인하였다.

Austenitic stainless steels(SUS 304, SUS 316), which are used for safety control valve of LNG carrier, are occasionally exposed in the cryogenic environment. In this regards, it is required to evaluate the mechanical characteristics under the low temperature environment. In this study, a series of uniaxial tensile test was carried out varying temperature for austenitic stainless steel. The phenomena of the strain-induced plasticity have been observed on the all temperature ranges. The critical value for threshold of 2nd hardening due to the phase transformation induced plasticity as well as the increase of hardening have been reported. The summarized experimental results would be used for the validation of numerical techniques applicable for the nonlinear hardening behavior of austenitic stainless steel under the cryogenic temperature environment.

Superconducting equipment has been actively investigated for securing the environment and energy technology (ET) in various parts of the world. Despite these movements, a high voltage cryogenic bushing, which plays an important role of interconnection between the electric power systems and superconducting devices, has not been fully developed due to severe insulation requirements. A gas insulated cryogenic bushing has been investigated as one of our projects since 2010. As a basic step to obtain the design parameters for cryogenic bushing, we focused on the surface flashover characteristics of glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) in several insulation gases. For the surface flashover tests, several insulation gases including $SF_6$, $CF_4$ and $N_2$ gas were prepared. Various length of FRP specimens were fabricated in order to obtain the fundamental data for creepage distance of FRP. The first specimen group was from 2 mm to 10 mm with 2 mm intervals and the second specimen group was from 20 mm to 100 mm with 20 mm intervals. And the gas pressure was varied from 1 bar to 4 bar. An AC overvoltage test and a lightning impulse test were performed. Then the experimental results of surface flashover were obtained and analyzed. Based on these results, it would be possible to design the optimum creepage distance of FRP in a cryogenic bushing.

액체 로켓 엔진 메니폴드 및 인젝터 부는 단열 사양을 적용할 경우 시스템이 복잡해지고 무게가 증가함으로 인해 일반적으로 단열 사양이 적용되지 않는다. 단열사양을 적용하지 않을 경우에 일어날 수 있는 문제는 액체산소의 온도 상승과 메니폴드 내부벽 및 인젝터에서 기체가 발생할 수 있다는 점이다. 본 연구에서는 극저온 액체산소를 산화제로 사용하는 KSR-III 액체로켓 엔진의 산화제 메니폴드 및 인젝터에서 측정된 압력 강하 값을 이용하여 발생된 기체 분율을 계산하였다. 액체산소 메니폴드 기체 분율 계산은 이상유동의 분리유동 모델을 활용하였고. 인젝터에서의 기체분율은 오리피스 모델을 활용하여 예측하였다. 이와 함께 메니폴드 열해석을 수행하여 비등현상에 대한 유동형태를 파악하였다. 또한 액체로켓 엔진내에서의 기체 발생이 로켓 엔진의 성능 및 연소 안정성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 간략히 고찰하였다.

Polyurethane foam insulation required for storing and transporting cryogenic liquefied gas is already widely used as a thermal insulation material for commercial LNG carriers and onshore due to its stable price and high insulation performance. These polyurethane foams are reported to have different mechanical performance depending on the density, and the density parameter is determined depending on the amount of the blowing agent. In this study, density-dependent polyurethane foam was fabricated by adjusting the amount of blowing agent. The mechanical properties of polyurethane foam were analyzed in the room temperature and cryogenic temperature range of -163℃ at 1.5 mm/min, which is a quasi-static load range, and the cells were observed through microstructure analysis. The characteristics of linear elasticity, plateau, and densification, which are quasi-static mechanical behaviors of polyurethane foam, were shown, and the correlation between density and mechanical properties in a cryogenic environment was confirmed. The correlation between mechanical behavior and cell size was also analyzed through SEM morphology analysis. Polyurethane foam with a density of 180 kg/m³ had a density about twice as high as that of a polyurethane foam with a density of 96 kg/m³, but yield strength was about 51% higher and cell size was about 9.5% smaller.

The demand for research on materials with excellent cryogenic strength and ductility has been increasing, particularly for applications such as liquid hydrogen (20 K) storage tanks. To effectively utilize liquid hydrogen, a system capable of maintaining and operating at 20 K is essential. Therefore, preliminary research and verification of the cooling system are crucial. In this study, a heat transfer analysis was conducted on a cooling system to meet the cryogenic environment requirements for cryogenic hydrogen chamber, which are conducted at liquid helium temperatures (4 K). The cooling mechanism in a helium cooling system was examined using numerical analysis. The numerical cooling trends were compared with experimentally obtained cooling results. The good agreement between numerical and experimental results suggests that the numerical approach developed in this study is applicable over a wide range of cryogenic systems.

A common problem in many fields of cryogenic power engineering is applying high voltage to cold parts of superconducting apparatus. In many cases, a bushing provides electrical insulation for the conductor which makes the transition from ambient temperature to the cold environment. The 60 kV class cryogenic high voltage bushing for neutral line of the 154 kV / 100MVA high temperature superconducting (HTS) transformer was described. The bushing is energized with the line-to-ground voltage between the coaxial center and outer surrounding conductors; in the axial direction, there was a temperature difference from ambient to about 77 K. For the insulation design of cryogenic bushing, electrical insulation characteristics of the GFRP were discussed in this paper.

The cryogenic vessel, storing a liquified solutions as LOX and $LN_2$, consists of a external vessel, internal vessel, thermal insulator and internal support. The internal support should be satisfied with mechanical strength not only to support weight of internal tank but also to maintain uniform space between external and internal tank in spite of external mechanical shock. However, excessive structure design of internal supports is able to increase the amount of heat conduction and the rate of vaporization. The thermal insulator, filled with space between a external and internal vessel, reduces the rate of heat transfer and guarantees the standing time of cryogenic vessel. Especially powder type of insulator has low thermal conductivity and reduce the specification of structure design. In order to evaluate the effect of insulator on structure design, the experiment set-up simulated cryogenic vessel was tested in shock environment according to thermal insulator. As a result, the behavior of internal support under external shock was understood and the design criteria was able to be suggested.
