Until recently, ships, automobiles, and drones using hydrogen energy are being actively researched. In addition, stations and facilities for hydrogen supply are being developed widely. Among them, a hydrogen pump is necessary for compressing it and transfer to other stations. The liquid hydrogen pump is operated at very high pressure up to 90 MPa. In our research, a reciprocating plunger pump is studied. Especially, a leakage in a liquid hydrogen pump is predicted using a finite element method. As a result, it was found that leak mass flow rates changed from 0.09 to 2.20 kg/h, when the gaps were given from 2 to 6 ㎛. Thus pump efficiencies were calculated from 99.9 to 97.9%, when the gaps changed from 2 to 6 ㎛. These results are useful for the design of the liquid hydrogen pump.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the freezing phenomena in printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) for cryogenic liquid hydrogen vaporizer. Local freezing phenomena in hot channels should be avoided in designing PCHE for cryogenic liquid hydrogen vaporizer. Hence, the flow and thermal characteristics of PCHE is experimentally investigated to figure out the conditions under when freezing occurs. To conduct lab-scale PCHE experiment, liquid nitrogen is used as a working fluid in cold channels instead of using liquid hydrogen. Glycol water is used as a working fluid in hot channels. Based on the experimental data, ratio between mass flow rates of cold channels and that of hot channels is proposed as contour map to avoid the freezing phenomena in PCHE.

As an initial step to develop a liquid hydrogen pump of piston type operated under cryogenic and high pressure, leakage and piston head shape for the piston pump were discussed with temperature and pressure. As the results, the leakage depended on correlation among density, viscosity, clearance area by the low temperature. In order to reduce the leakage, it was found that the air-tightness can be improved by minimizing contact surface between piston and cylinder, and also increasing pressure in-cylinder can reduce piston clearance. Among the proposed piston shapes, D type piston shape had the most air-tightness. D type piston had smaller contact surface than other piston shape and easier expansion of cup shape by pressure. The leakage of D type piston shape was found about 7%, compared with A type piston shape. But it was required that analyze about vapor lock by friction and wear resistance.

가스발생기 사이클의 추력 30톤급 엔진에 적용 가능한 터보펌프의 구성품인 산화제펌프에 대하여 실제 작동 유체인 액체산소를 이용한 시험이 이루어졌다. 본 시험에서 터빈은 상온 수소 가스로 구동되었다. 산화제펌프는 설계점 및 탈설계점에서 안정적으로 작동되었고 성능 요구조건을 만족시켰다. 액체산소를 매질로 하는 경우의 산화제펌프 양정계수는 물을 매질로 하는 경우에 비하여 약 2~3% 더 낮은 값을 보였다. 산화제펌프 구동에 필요한 동력과 터빈에서 생성되는 동력이 서로 잘 일치하였다.

In order to develop a universal cryogenic piston pump of small size for increasing utilization of liquid hydrogen, dynamic compression performance of piston pump were evaluated and improvements were also discussed for piston rod and piston tip. The cryogenic piston pump has crosshead structure and inclined cup shape piston tip. As the results, it was found that i) insulation of heat flow from piston-rod part is required for stable operation ii) improving the self-clearance adjustment effect of piston tip and reducing piston eccentricity were desirable to promote pumping pressure and operating range.

Chemical heat pump is a system to upgrade the low level energy such as industrial waste heat and solar energy by using coupled endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions. Dehydrogenation of 2-propanol can absorb heat near 80.deg. C and is transformed into acetone and hydrogen. Hydrogenation of acetone can liberate heat near 200.deg. C. Dehydrogenation of 2-propanol is difficult around 80.deg. C because .DELTA.G has positive value, but dehydrogenation reaction in liquid phase can overcome this problem because vaporized acetone and hydrogen can be rapidly eliminated. In this work, dehydrogenation of 2-propanol was investigated in liquid phase with Raney nickel catalyst. The energy efficiency of the chemical heat pump was estimated by computer simulation.

Jet pump in automotive fuel tank module is used to deliver fuel to fuel pump so that the pump is operated without aeration in suction side. In this study, three dimensional simulation model of jet pump is developed to understand performance variation over design parameters. Performance of jet pump is also investigated experimentally in terms of operating pressures. The experimental data is used to verify the three dimensional simulation model of jet pump. Verification results show that the three dimensional simulation model of jet pump is about 1% error with experiment. The simulations are conducted in terms of throat ratio and primary flow induction angle. As the throat ratio is increased, the flux ratio is trade-off at 3 times of throat diameter. On the other hand, as primary flow induction angle is increased, vapor pressure inside the nozzle is decreased. In summary, the results show that liquid jet pump has to be optimized over design parameters. Additionally, high velocity of induced flow is able to evolve cavitation phenomena inside the jet pump.

최근 화석연료를 대체할 수 있는 수소에너지를 이용한 이동 수단에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 한편 이를 이용하기 위해서는 수소를 생산 저장 이송하는 과정이 필수적이다. 특히 수소를 90 MPa에 이르는 고압으로 저장 이송할 경우 기체 상태가 아닌 액체 상태이므로 부피가 감소하여, 상대적으로 비용을 절감 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 수소 액화에 필수적인 액화수소 펌프 개발을 위해 챔버 내의 유동을 유한요소해석 (Finite Element Methods (FEM)) 프로그램인 ANSYS를 이용하여 해석하였다. 그 결과, 1차 챔버에서 2차 챔버 사이에 밸브가 없는 경우, 2차 챔버 내의 최대 속도는 9.075 m/s, 밸브가 3 mm 열린 경우의 최대 속도는 8.111 m/s 로 10.6% 감소하였다. 또한 밸브가 없는 경우의 최대 압력은 0.62 MPa, 밸브가 3 mm 열린 경우의 최대 압력은 0.63 MPa 로 1.6% 증가하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 액화수소 펌프의 상세 설계에 활용할 경우, 좀 더 효율적인 펌프의 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

A large cryo-pumping system composed of 4 cryosorption pumps was designed and manufactured to satisfy the pressure requirements of the NBI test stand. The cryosorption pump consists of a thermal shield/baffle assembly and a cryopanel coated with activated carbon granules. The thermal shield is cooled by liquid nitrogen, and the cryopanel by a commercial helium refrigerator. The operation characteristics and vacuum performance of the cryosorption pump were investigated. The cooling down time of the cryopanel to 20 K was about 6 hours with a liquid nitrogen consumption rate of about 35 L/hr. The maximum pumping speed of the cryosorption pump for the hydrogen gas measured by the steady pressure method was about 90,000 L/s.
