A PFA lined ball valve, which is machined with fluorinated resin PFA to its inner part for improving corrosion resistance, non-stickness, heat-resistance, has been widely used to the chemical/pharmaceutical industries, the semiconductor/LCD manufacturing processes, etc. with the high purity chemicals as working fluid. EPA stated that 60% of all fugitive emissions come from the valve stem packing in a typical petroleum or chemical processing plant. They monitor regulated components for leaks and maintain seal performance at acceptable levels. Korean industrial standards only deals with the bubble test for in-line leakage of valves, which has the detectable leak rate of $10^{-4}$ [$mbar{\cdot}L{\cdot}s^{-1}$], therefore, it is not sufficient to check fugitive emissions. In this study, we conducted Helium leak detection from a PFA lined ball valve and evaluated fugitive emissions according to ISO 15848-1, which has the detectable leak rate of $10^{-9}$ [$mbar{\cdot}L{\cdot}s^{-1}$], for manufacturing the high-reliable PFA lined ball valves against fugitive emissions.

PFA fluoropolymer lined technology revolutionized ball valve development and design decades ago and continues to be pivotal for many products and valve solutions in diverse industries and applications, such as chemical process, semiconductor/LCD manufacturing processes, pharmaceutical and others. Because of the extreme operating conditions such as high-temperature (${\sim}120^{\circ}C$) and high-pressure (~10 bar), the reliability of the valve is very important for minimizing in-line leakage and fugitive emissions of strong corrosive chemicals (hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, etc.) transported through the lines. In this study, we investigated the flow characteristics with flow coefficient in a PFA lined ball valve for different opening degrees using CFD analyses. The results should be the guidance for a new PFA lined ball valve design that will incorporate all the acclaimed and demonstrated benefits of the current design approaches.

A PFA lined ball valve, which is machined with fluorinated resin PFA to its inner part for improving corrosion resistance, non-stickness, heat-resistance, has been widely used in semiconductor/LCD manufacturing processes with the high purity chemicals as working fluid. Due to the safety concerns, the experiments for measuring the flow coefficient of a PFA lined ball valve should be conducted with water at room temperature according to IEC standards. However, it is required to know the real flow coefficient with the real working fluid, because the flow coefficient is critical to correctly design valves in piping system. In this study, we calculated the flow coefficient of a PFA lined ball valve 40A with hydrochloric acid ($40^{\circ}C$ 36% HCl) as the working fluid using a commercial CFD package, ANSYS CFX v15. The computational results had a good agreement with the measured data and showed a little difference between water and hydrochloric acid as the working fluid of a PFA lined ball valve.

In this paper, the geometric design for the body of a 3"-PFA-lined plug valve is concerned, and body model which has less deformed PFA-resin after infection molding process is proposed. A CAE software is used to simulate the deformation due to heat in cooling. To reduce the deformation, some small shapes are added to PFA-resin surfaces related on wall of the valve housing. And thermal stress simulation with FEM methodology is followed after that. Also, the 3D-CAD package is used during the design processes. In this study, I tried to present the possibility to use the FEM analysis in the solid modeling process. So, the design engineer will be able to use analysis package effectively on his job within the limited range.

본 논문은 주요 부위에 대한 정적음력 시뮬레이션을 통해 PFA 라이닝 플러그밸브 본체의 설계자를 지원하는 것을 주된 목표로 한다. CAD 작업을 통해 생성된 형상 모델을 스텝(step)파일로 변환하여 해석작업에 사용한다. 전문적인 해석경험이 없는 밸브 생산업체의 설계자가 형상 모델에 대한 인장, 굽힘, 비틀림 모멘트 등을 계산하는 과정을 이해함으로써 구조적 취약점을 사전에 파악하고, 제품에 반영하여 제품 신뢰도 및 설계효율 증대에 기여할 수 있는 기본적인 방안을 제시하고자 하였다.

PFA 라이닝 밸브 (PFA Lined Valve)는 고온 (~120oC) 고압 (~10 bar)에서 강한 부식성을 갖은 화학물질 (염산, 황산, 질산 등)을 이송시킬 수 있도록 내식성, 비점착성, 내열성 향상을 위한 불소계 수지 PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy)가 밸브 내면부에 가공되어 있으며, 고순도 화학약품 및 반도체 LCD 석유화학 제철 제약 분야 등의 제조공정에서 사용되고 있다. 미국 EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)에서는 석유화학 플랜트에서 발생되는 비산배출 (fugitive emission)의 대부분인 60% 정도가 밸브에서 발생된다고 보고하고 있으며, 근래 빈번한 불산 노출사고 내용을 매스컴에서 접할 수 있는 것처럼 PFA 라이닝 밸브가 설치되는 산업현장에서는 미소 누설에도 치명적인 인명피해 사고가 발생하기 때문에 국제규격에 따른 PFA 라이닝 밸브의 기밀누설에 관한 규제 및 관리가 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 가압진공법을 이용하여 PFA 라이닝 볼밸브의 비산배출 측정하였으며, 작동횟수/온도변화에 따른 PFA 라이닝 볼밸브의 비산배출 특성을 고찰하였다.
