In this study, we collect water control valves that have had accidents due to existing cracks, etc. are collected, and propose investigation items for strengthening the valve structural safety evaluation through a series of analyzes from valve specifications to physicochemical properties are proposed. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a large variation in the thickness of the body or flange of the valves to be investigated, which is considered to be very important factor, because it may affect the safety of the valve body against internal pressure and the flange connected with the bolt nut. Second, 60% of the valves under investigation had many voids in the valve body and flange, etc. and the decrease in thickness due to corrosion was relatively large on the inner surface in contact with water rather than the outer surface. It is judged that the investigation of depth included voids is very important factor. Third, all valves to be investigated are made of gray cast iron foam, and therefore it is judged that there is no major problem in chemical composition. It is judged that the chemical composition should be investigated. Fourth, as a physical investigation item, the analysis of metal morphology structure seems to be a very important factor for nodular cast iron from rather than a gray cast iron foam water valve with a flake structure. As it was found to be 46.7~68.8% of the standard recommended by KS, it could have a direct effect on damage such as cracks, and therefore it is judged that the evaluation of tensile strength is very important in evaluating the safety of the valve.

The prediction of AOV(air-operated valve) performance is normally evaluated by the allowable opening thrust margin for the opening and closing stroke. However, it is not easy to carry out the dynamic test measurement for all the valves in the nuclear power plant due to the safety and operating conditions. The analysis of the available and required thrust for the valve is simulated as an alternate method to turn around this obstacle. The required air pressures to the stem displacement are discussed for differential valve pressure obtained by experiment. The result of the simulation is compared with that of the experiment. SIMULINK in MATLAB was used for the simulation and the results show good agreement with the actual test carried out with Fisher globe valve.

When the pumps are started or stopped for the operation or tripped due to the power failure, the hydraulic transients occur as a result of the sudden change in velocity. The field tests on the waterhammer were carried out for Pangyo booster pumping station in which had six booster pumps and two in-line pumps with the motor of output 1,700 kW, respectively. The booster pumping station was equipped with the pump control valve as the main surge suppression device, and the surge relief valve as auxiliary one. But the pump control valve had not early controlled in the planned closing mode, the slamming occurred to the valve of which abruptly closed during the large reverse flow. Because the positive pressure wave caused by the pump failure was superposed on the slam surge, the upsurge increased so extremely that the pump control valve was damaged. After the air chambers were additionally installed in the booster pumping station, it was preyed that the water supply system acquire the safety and reliability on the pressure surge.

본 연구는 화력발전소 최종과열기에서 고압터빈 사이 배관과 고압터빈을 지난 곳에 있는 체크밸브와 1차 재열기 사이 배관을 포함한 수증기 배관시스템에서 터빈의 급작스런 사고로 인해 터빈으로 들어가는 수증기를 차단할 때 발생하는 수증기 충격이 배관시스템에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 연구이다. 이를 위해서 수격현상 해석에 많이 사용하는 Flowmaster 소프트웨어로 배관시스템을 모델링하고 시간 변화에 따라 배관 내부의 압력, 질량유량률의 특성을 파악하였다. 이러한 특성으로부터 수증기 충격이 주로 영향을 미치는 곡관에서 수증기 충격에 의한 힘을 도출하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 수증기 충격은 주증기 차단 밸브 직전의 곡관과 체크밸브 이후에 바이패스 배관과 연결되는 곡관에서 수증기 충격에 의한 힘이 가장 크게 나타남을 밝혀냈다. 본 연구에서는 이렇게 도출한 힘의 기본 자료를 이용하여 차후 연구에서 화력발전소 수증기 배관시스템의 수증기 충격 시 곡관과 지지대의 안전성을 진단하는 토대를 구축하였다.

본 연구에서는 LP가스 용기용 밸브에서 취약할 것으로 예상되는 Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 지역에 대한 강도안전성을 FEM으로 해석하였다. 밸브의 두께가 1.5mm이고, LPG 압력이 3.5MPa일 때 밸브의 Part 1 모서리 부분에서 27.5MPa의 Von Mises 최대응력이 걸리는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 밸브의 두께가 1.5mm이고, LPG 압력 3.5MPa이 밸브에 작용할 때 Von Mises 최대응력은 Part 2에서 41.5MPa, 그리고 Part 3에서 46.5MPa으로 나타났다. 이러한 FEM 해석결과는 밸브의 Part 1, Part 2, Part 3에 작용하는 Von Mises 최대응력 모두가 황동소재 C3604의 항복강도 대비 9.2~15.5% 수준으로 대단히 낮은 값을 나타내고 있다. 이것은 기존의 LP가스 용기용 밸브의 두께가 지나치게 과도한 설계를 하였다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서, 밸브의 Part 1과 Part 2 지역의 두께는 황동밸브의 경량화 차원에서 얇게 설계하는 것이 바람직하다. 반면에 Part 3 지역의 두께는 기존의 밸브 두께처럼 두껍게 설계하여 높은 체결토크에도 안전한 강도를 유지하는 것이 좋다.

본 본문에서는 LPG 용기용 밸브의 개폐과정에서 발생하는 밸브패킹과 밸브시트의 상대접촉 마찰작용에 따른 밀봉성에 대한 FEM 해석결과를 제시하고 있다. 개폐용 밸브의 밀봉작용은 나일론-66으로 제조한 디스크 형상의 밸브패킹이 원형 파이프의 밸브시트 단면을 막아 LP 가스의 외부 송출을 차단하면서 완료된다. 밸브패킹은 밸브시트에 대하여 평면으로 접촉밀봉을 하는 경우와 원형홈의 둥근접촉 형상에 대한 밀봉 압착력을 확보하는 두 가지가 있다. FEM 해석 및 실험적 연구결과에 의하면, 밸브패킹을 사용하기 이전의 평면접촉 밀봉 작용력은 4.9 MPa로 높지만, 밸브를 사용한 이후의 원형홈 접촉 밀봉력은 4.4 MPa로 약간 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 이들 최대응력은 나일론 소재의 항복응력 83 MPa에 비하여 대단히 낮은 값이기 때문에 현재의 개폐밸브용 패킹은 과도하게 설계되었다 할 수 있다.

Counter balance valve is used as one part of hydraulic motor brake system. The function of this valve is to protect over-run or free falling of inertia load. But occasionally the brake system with counter balance valve makes some undesirable problems such as pressure surges or vibrations. These problems may hurt system safety and driver's conformability. Nevertheless, studies on dynamic characteristics of hydraulic system including counter balance valve are very rare, so further accumulation of research results are required. In this study, for the purpose of easy estimation about dynamic characteristics of hydraulic system including counter balance valve, precise formulation describing fluid dynamics and valve dynamics under various boundary conditions were made. The equations obtained in the preceding process include some parameters that must be got experimentally. Flow coefficients of valve and choke are the most significant ones among the parameters. So these parameters are obtained experimentally in this study, and experimental equations obtained from the experimental data were used for numerical calculation. The equations were analysed by numerical integration using Runge-Kutta method, because the equations contain various nonlinear terms. From the numerical analysis, it was verified that the dynamic response of counter balance valve and pressure variation at each elements can be estimated very easily. So the analysing method developed in this study enabled very easy estimating the relation between the performances of counter balance valve and various physical parameters related to the valve. Conclusively, it is said that the results obtained in this study can be used very usefully to develop a new type counter balance valve or to apply the valve to actual hydraulic system for various industrial equipments.

In the last five years, 91 accidents from portable gas ranges and non-refillable metallic gas cartridges have occurred. The gas cylinder installed with a relief valve was developed to prevent an explosive accident from the gas cartridge. In this study it was carried out to evaluate the safety of a gas cylinder mounted with a relief valve which can prevent an explosion. Under the real using condition and the extreme condition the gas cylinder is heated with an electric heater. Simultaneously, the operating pressure is checked and the suitability of releasing flux is evaluated. And the possibility of fire or explosion was tested when the gas was released from the relief valve at the real using condition. Using a numerical simulation method, the diffusion of butane gas released from a relief valve was visualized.

A study on the flow-structure characteristics of marine 3/2WAY pneumatic valve is essential for optimizing the performance of ship engines. It is important that the valve has desirable safety factor and reduced weight from safety and economic point of view. In this paper, flow-structure characteristics of pneumatic valve is obtained by being optimized based on the proper design criteria. The air with the pressure of 30 bar is the working fluid which is made to fill in the tack in short time. This time is defined as the filling time. On optimum design by considering the flow-structure characteristics, the approach is based on (1) the mathematical formulation of design decisions using the compromise decision-making method, and (2) the approximation technique of response surfaces. The methodology is demonstrated as the multi-objective optimization tool to improve the performance of marine 3/2WAY pneumatic valve.
