Recently, Improving the energy efficiency of a pneumatic system and reducing the consumption of compressed air were a concern of scholars at domestic and abroad. The using fields of a pneumatic system are widely used in factory automation of manufacturing line, chemical factories with explosiveness danger and petroleum industries etc. In particular, Pneumatic cylinder is applied to feeding work of workpiece, jig tools and press mechanism, reciprocation and rotary motion with rack and pinion. In this study, The experimental apparatus consisted to pneumatic cylinder, dual supply pressure regulator and solenoid valve. The dual supply pressure regulator connected to outlet port of solenoid valve. The supply pressure (4.5kgf/cm$\^$2/) of compressed air goes into the rodless chamber 1 to drive the pistion rod forward which is named working stage. The supply pressure(2kgf/cm$\^$2/) of compressed air goes into the rod chamber 2 to drive the piston rod backward which is named no-working stage. Accordingly, The research results of this study can be obtained to Energy-Saving Effects of the compressed air about 35%.

If hydraulic pump controlled by mechanical type regulator has more than one control function, the construction of regulator will be very complicated and control performance falls drastically. It is difficult to have more than one control function for hydraulic pump controlled by electronic type hydraulic valve due to the inconsistency of controllers. This paper proposes a multi-function control technique which controls continuously flow, pressure and power by using EPPR(Electronic Proportional Pressure Reducing) valve in swash plate type axial piston pump. Nonlinear mathematical model is developed from the continuity equation for the pressurized control volume and the torque balance for the swash plate motion. To simplify the model we make the linear state equation by differentiating the nonlinear model. A reaction spring is installed in servo cylinder to secure the stability of the control system. We analyze the stability and disturbance by using the state variable model. Finally, we review the control performances of flow, pressure and power by tests using PID controller.

This paper investigates a fast, accurate and inexpensive hydraulic motor speed control system using high speed on-off solenoid valves. In order to retain the advantages of the two position valve and obtain better performance, the valves are operated by pulse width modulation(PWM) control. PWM signal is generated from a LabWIEW program in microcomputer in order to set up various duty ratio and frequency of carrier wave in PWM signal with varying system parameters. As the results of experiments, the speed control of a hydraulic motor was successfully implemented using on-off solenoid valves. In order to attenuate the pressure ripple and speed variation due to discontinuously controlled flow through the on-off valves, a resonator hose fabricated for automobile power steering system was connected between the valve and a hydraulic motor. From experimental results obtained in the hydraulic motor system with a resonator hose, it was ascertained that the resonator hose showed excellent performances in reducing pressure ripple and motor speed variation.

Automatic feed pumps are operated and stopped by a pressure switch. Thus, because of repeated operations and stops of the pumps according to fluctuations of water volume, operation with constant rate and pressure is impossible. Moreover, because of repeated running of the pump, keeping up of constant pressure is impossible and damage and energy loss are weak points of the pimps. To make up for defects of an automatic feed pump, this paper designed and made a static pressure feed system which was composed of a feed water control valve, a flow sensor and a control system. The valve device plays an important part in reducing load of pumps by constant water supply regardless of outflow of water. Outflow of water is determined by infrared diode of the flow sensor. The control system is made of a 8 bit micro-processor and the pump was controled by a specific control algorithm. With the constant pressure feed system, discharge pressure was kept at fixed pressure, accurate operations and stops were smoothly accomplished and the pump was operated with constant pressure. Thus, the constant pressure feed system can be considered as an advanced system which made up for the weak points in the current automatic feed systems.

In this study, a numerical procedure to analyze 3-dimensional unsteady elastohydrodynamic lubrication was developed. The procedure was applied to the actual cam and roller follower of the valve mechanism for a marine diesel engine. The pressure distribution between the cam and roller follower was calculated for the several cam rotating angles. The pressure spike is shown near the roller edge and it is getting higher as the external load is increased. The roller profile for reducing the pressure spike was suggested by the Hertzian contact analysis.

It is very important to evaluate the friction force of valve train system in the aspect of reducing friction loss of engine. To this end, we have developed measuring system of friction force of engine valve train system. There were two major factors in the process of development of it. One was it had to accurately measure the friction force up to 3500 Crpm without any problems such as mechanical vibration, electrical noise and so on. The other was it also had to simulate real engine conditions such as Crpm, oil temperature, oil pressure and oil aeration including effect of belt drive system. In this paper we have introduced the process of development of it based on test results, and also analysis process of measured data.

In this paper, the design of automatic impact force control mechanism of hydraulic breaker was studied. The control mechanism uses the change of piston upper chamber pressure, when the hydraulic breaker impacts various strength rock. The piston stroke is controlled by rock strength sensing valve, piston stroke switching valve, and piston control valve. It is imperative to denote the area of each valve section, the spring constant of the spring. It provides convenience to users by automatically adjusting the appropriate striking force, according to the strength of the rock. Additionally, by increasing work productivity, it can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions due to fuel efficiency reduction.

This study examined the relationship between the shape of the inside of the PRV and the cavitation of the water supply system of an apartment house. In this paper, nine types of PRV with different gaps and shapes were analyzed numerically using a 3D model embedded in the commercial code, ANSYS-CFX. The lowest pressure and the maximum velocity occurred at the narrow gap, which is located at the between the stem and the disk. When the gap size was increased, the vapor volume fraction was always greater than 0, but the vapor volume fraction of the type of expansion pipe approached 0. These results indicate that the cavitation of PRV can be reduced by a shape change to the type of expansion pipe.

Many research studies have been carried out related to saving energy and environmental pollution in the field of construction machinery. The best solution for reducing the related environmental pollution is to reduce fuel consumption by upgrading the energy efficiency of machinery used in this field. An efficiency upgrade in the field of construction machinery would mean minimizing the pressure loss in hydraulic pipe lines or achieving optimal operating conditions while responding to a load. One way to achieve this is to make an equivalent circuit, like an electrohydrostatic actuator, or to improve the spool type valve using the 4/3 way method. This study deals with an electrohydraulic proportional flow control valve. SimulationX software is used as a simulation tool for analyzing the dynamic characteristics. The analysis results, including the performance and characteristics of design parameters, are discussed and the validity of the theoretical analysis is also evaluated.
