기존의 수도설비의 밸브실과 유량계의 관리는 기계적이고 숙련자의 경험적인 방식으로 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 USN 기반의 실시간 수도설비 모니터링 시스템을 활용한 시설물 관리는 안전성과 정확성을 제공함으로서 양질의 수자원을 관리하는데 기술적인 발전을 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)과 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) 망을 이용한 수도 시설물의 안전 관리 시스템에 관하여 연구하였다. 수도 설비 중에서 밸브실과 유량계실을 대상으로 유량계, 압력센서, 진동센서, Co센서, 온 습도센서들의 RFID(Radio-frequency identification) 센서로 구성된 USN을 구성하고, USN으로부터 실시간으로 수도 시설물 정보 및 수(水)처리 측정 정보를 수집하여, CDMA망을 통해 원거리 관제 시스템에 전송한다. USN 기술을 이용하여 수도설비를 관리함으로서 현장에서의 편리성, 안전성, 정확성을 높여 더욱 효율적이고 안정적으로 깨끗한 수돗물을 공급하는데 기여할 수 있다.

최근 상수관망은 노후화 및 관 내 스케일의 박리로 인해 적수 사고등 수질사고가 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 관내 퇴적되어있는 스케일은 평상시엔 안정화되어 문제를 야기하지 않지만, 상수관망 시스템의 급격한 유속 및 유향 변화 등에 의해 발생하는 수충격에 의해 박리된 후 수용가로 유입되며 수질사고를 야기한다. 이를 사전에 방지하기 위해서는 주기적인 관세척으로 스케일을 제거할 필요가 있다. 관세척공법 중 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 방법은 플러싱으로 현재 국내·외에서 관세척을 위한 유속 및 세척기준 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 플러싱 공법 적용 시 적정유속 기준에 관한 연구가 주로 진행되어, 세척시 관내 적정유속 확보여부를 사전에 검토하기 위한 구체적인 방안에 관한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 관 세척시 용수는 소화전 또는 이토변을 통과하면서 주손실과 미소손실이 발생하며, 이는 관 내 유속에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 세척효과 분석에 직접적인 영향을 준다. 이에 본 연구는 Minorloss Coefficient와 Emitter Coefficient를 적용한 모의를 통해 플러싱 적용 시 관 내 유속을 분석하는 수리해석 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법을 예시관망과 A시 일부구역에 적용하여 적절성을 검토하고, 소화전과 이토변의 세척효과를 비교하였다. 적용 결과 소화전을 통과하는 수리학적 조건을 고려하지 않은 경우, 실제 발생하는 손실을 고려하지 못해 소화전에서 방출 가능한 유량 대비 큰 유량과 유속이 산출되는 결과를 보였고, 이토변의 경우는 긴 세척구간에도 세척유속과 유량의 확보가 용이하여 소화전에 비해 시간적. 효율적으로 큰 세척효과가 있을 것으로 판단하였다. 하지만, 실제 상수관망의 적용 시 이토변은 소화전에 비해 설치 개수가 적어 적용이 제한적이다. 이와같은 특성을 이해하여 실무자의 판단과 대상지역의 특징에 따라서 적절한 세척계획을 수립하는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A numerical study has been conducted to characterize the transient pressure in a building water supply system with an air chamber by utilizing a commercial code that employs the method of characteristics. Some results produced for the purpose of verification in the study agree quite well with the previously reported. Several parameters are then varied. Among them are the valve closure time, the wave speed, the static pressure, the polytropic exponent, the air chamber volume, the inner diameter and the shape of orifice in the air chamber, etc, while the water temperature and velocity are kept constant at $20^P{circ}C $,/TEX> and 0.8 m/s, respectively, Results reported in this parametric study may be useful to understand the unsteady behavior of the system.

A disturbance flow at piping bands and discontinuous regions such as a valve, a header has a intense broadband internal pressure field and a sound field which are propagated through the piping system The fields becomes the source of a vibration of this piping system. Intense broadband disturbance flow at a discontinuous region such as elbows, valves or headers generates an acoustical pulsation. The pulsation becomes the source of structural vibration at the piping system. If it coincides with the natural frequency of the pipe system, excessive vibration results. High-level vibration due to the pressure pulsation affects the reliability of the plant piping system. This paper discusses the high vibration and the branch vent pipe's failure of condensate-water supply piping system due to the effect of acoustical pulsations by flow turbulence from the flow control valves of globe type in a power site.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the characteristics of flow rate distribution in hot-water piping networks in the apartment building. A 14-story apartment house was selected as a sample building and analyzed numerically by Hardy-Cross method. Two different piping networks, one has three vertical zones and the other of a single zone with automatic balancing valves, were compared. Some of research results are as follows; As the temperature of supply hot-water increases, the flow rate of it does by buoyancy effect, but this effect is not found in the piping network with automatic balancing valves. Non-uniformity in hot-water flow distributions to all stories in the piping system of single vertical zone can be completely reformed by the installation of either manually operated or automatic balancing valves in every story.

A 3-way valve has been applied to a distributor in a hot-water heating system and the performance of the system was evaluated in view of the variations of pressure drop and flow rate. The 3-way valve has been designed to bypass overplus hot-water when a control valve is closed. Note that the flow goes through heating pipeline in normal operation. In the present study, the measured pressure drops in each part of the flow paths show that the contribution to the total pressure drop is in the order of the supply header with control valves, piping system of each room and return header of the distributor, even though the amount of it is different according to the flow paths. As a result of performance test by sequential closing of the control valves, the variations of pressure drop and flow rate in the distributor with 3-way valves is much lower than those with previous 2-way valves, which prevent noises induced by pressure fluctuations.

Leakage in water supply system can cause water resources loss in addition to the water quality degradation. In this research, leakage reduction after establishment of a block system in the area with leakage rate of 69.0 % was investigated using EPANET simulation. The average water pressure for the research area was $5.17kgf/cm^2$ which was relatively high, and several sites were deviated from recommended water pressure ranges(i.e., 1.5 ~ $7.1kgf/cm^2$). However, the average water pressure in the area was reduced to 3.81 and $3.49kgf/cm^2$ after the introduction of block system with a water pressure relief valve(PRV) setting of 3.0 and $2.5kgf/cm^2$, respectively. Under the installation of a PRV with regulating pressure of $2.5kgf/cm^2$, the predicted leakage was reduced from $4,420.3m^3/d$ to $3,028.1m^3/d$, which was equivalent to the leakage reduction from 31.0 % to 23.5 %.

It is essential to reduce global carbon emissions, mainly from energy use. The water supply and distribution sector is a vital part of human society and is one of the primary energy consumers. The procurement and distribution of water require electricity to operate the pump to deliver water to users with sufficient pressure. As the water users are spatially distributed over a wide area, the energy required to deliver water to each user differs depending on the corresponding supplying element (reservoir, tank, pipe, pump, and valve). This difference in energy required for each user also comes with a difference in pressure availability which affects the level of service for individual users and the whole network. Typically, there is a disproportion where users close to the source experience excessively high pressure with low energy consumption. In contrast, remote users need more energy to get the minimum pressure. This study proposes the Energy Return Index (ERI) to quantify the pressure return from particular energy consumption to supply water to each node. The disproportionality can be quantified and identified in the network using the proposed ERI. The index can be applied to optimize the network elements such as pump operation and tank location/size to reach a balanced energy consumption with the appropriate level of service.

In this paper, the mechanism identification and the avoidance measures on the phenomena of transient acoustic vibration amplified at the water-supply piping system to regulate the steam temperature of the boiler reheater in 500MW class supercritical power plant are presented. The pressure pulsation waves induced by the impeller passing of two feed-water pumps with five blades are coincident with the local acoustic modes of boiler reheater water-supply piping system. There are the phenomena amplified at the peaks of 5X, 10X, 15X and 20X in spectrums of piping vibration, sound pressure, and the feed-water's pressure pulsation waves. The shut-off device is installed in the piping system for the interception of pressure pulsation waves transmitted from two feed-water pumps and the modified design change of the piping layout is applied for the acoustic resonance avoidance. The acoustic natural frequencies are separated from the harmonics of pressure pulsation waves induced by the pump impellers passing through the design change of the span length. The acoustic vibration is gone by resonance avoidance measures. As a result, more than 20 dBA reduction is achieved from 100 dBA to 80 dBA.

A heat pump system is a highly efficient, eco-friendly device which consumes a small amount of energy and supply a lot of energy for heat formation. In addition, it is a single device system that has low generation effect about carbon dioxide. There are many researches related to the electronic expansion valve and the heat pump, but the detailed data analysis of each influence is insufficient. In this study, the cooling capacity and COP of the heat pump system were investigated by varying frequency of the inverter connected to compressor, inlet temperature of chilled water into evaporator and inlet temperature of cooling water into condenser. The results are as follows : (1) The cooling capacity increased as the inverter frequency, inlet temperature of chilled water into evaporator increased, and inlet temperature of cooling water into condenser decreased. (2) The COP increased as the frequency of inverter, inlet temperature of cooling water into condenser decreased and the inlet temperature of chilled water into evaporator increased.
