Analysis on the study for the sodium fire mitigation was carried out using the CONTAIN-LMR code. Sodium loop building was partitioned into the many cells, in which the safety venting systems were installed for the purpose of improving the sodium fire safety and minimizing its effect on the sodium loop building. The effects of sodium fire on sodium loop building partitioned into the many cells and not partitioned were investigated. The peak pressure and temperature of each cell accompanied by sodium fire in sodium loop building partitioned were lower than those of sodium loop building not partitioned. In the case of partitioning sodium loop building, the pressures, temperatures and aerosols into cells were transferred through propagation path of CONTAIN-LMR sodium fire model simulated by this study, and the effect of sodium spray fire on sodium loop building was mitigated by partitioning building. In addition, the excessive rise of pressure into cells was prevented by installing the over-pressure exhaust valve and under-pressure exhaust valve on the flow path between cells.

In the brake systems a proportioning valve which reduces the brake pressure at each wheel cylinder for anti-locking of rear wheels is closely related with the safety of vehicles. But, it is impossible for a present proportioning valve to exactly control brake pressure because mechanically it is an open loop control system. So, in this paper we describe a electronic brake pressure distribution system using a fuzzy controller in order to exactly control brake pressure using a close loop control system. The object of electronic brake pressure distribution system is to change an cut-in pressure and an valve slop of proportioning valve in order to obtain better good performance of brake system than with mechanical system.

In this paper, the flow characteristics through an industrial safety relief valve used to protect the crankcase room in a large-sized marine engine have been numerically investigated using the moving-mesh strategy. With the room pressure higher than the cracking one, the spring-loaded disc becomes open and then the air in the room blows off into the atmosphere, resulting in the reduction of the room pressure and then the shutoff of the disc. Numerical simulations are performed on the compressible air flow through the relief valve (${\phi}160mm$) with the initial room pressure (0.11 bar or 0.12bar) higher than the cracking one (0.1 bar). The numerical method has been validated by comparing the results with the empirical ones. Results show that the disc motion and flow characteristics can be successfully simulated using the moving-mesh strategy and depend strongly on the spring stiffness and the flow passage shape. With increasing spring stiffness, the maximum disc displacement decreases and thus the total disc-opening time also decreases. In addition, the flow passage shape makes a significant effect on the velocity and direction of the flow.

안전밸브는 높은 압력을 사용하고 있는 공장들의 안전을 확보하기 위한 최후의 수단이다. 안전밸브의 고장은 대형사고로 이어지므로, 주기적으로 작동성능을 점검하도록 법으로 정해져 있다. 현재 안전밸브의 작동성능을 확인하기 위해서 직접검사방법을 이용하고 있으나 이는 검사 사각지대의 유무, 비용 및 효율적인 손실 등으로 인해 운전 중 검사 방법의 개발이 요구 되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 안전밸브 성능검사 결과자료를 분석하여 국가 산업단지의 불안전한 안전밸브 상태를 살펴봄으로써 현재 운용 중인 직접검사법만으로는 안전성의 확보에 한계가 있음을 확인했다. 이에 따라 직접검사법의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 운전 중 검사법 도입의 필요성을 검토하고, 필수 기반 시설에의 적용을 의무화 하는 등 공정 운전 중에도 안전밸브의 검사가 가능한 방법의 개발과 관련 제도의 변화가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A web-based client/server program, MOVIDIK(Motor-Operated-Valve Integrated Database Information of KEPCO) has been developed to perform a design basis safety evaluation for a motor-operated-valve(MOV) in the nuclear power plant. The MOVIDIK consists of seven analysis modules and one administrative module. The analysis module calculates a differential pressure on the valve disk, thrust/torque acting at a valve stem, maximum allowable stress, thermal-overload-relay selection, voltage degradation, actuator output and margin. In addition, the administrative module manages user information, approval system and code information. MOVIDIK controls a huge amount of evaluation data and piles up the safety information of safety-related MOV. The MOVIDIK will improve the efficiency of safety evaluation work and standardize the analysis process for the MOV.

The welding part of the valve needs immediate action when leakage occurs due to cracks or damage. In order to repair leakage of the welding part, the valve must be separated from the pipe or replaced with a new valve. However, it is difficult to remove the valve while operating the power plant. This study presents a method to remove leakage by precisely processing the gap between the clamp and the incision part within 0.1mm while installed in the pipe system. If the external leakage is removed using a clamp on the welding part without removing the valve during operation, the time and cost required for maintenance can be reduced.

A high-pressure ball valve was developed, and both the structural strength and sealing performance were assessed based on a nonlinear finite element analysis. Different parts were modeled with solid elements and assembled, taking into account both contact and sliding effects. Three different loading scenarios were analyzed, including a high-pressure closure test and fire and shell test conditions. The structural safety of each part was checked under each loading condition, and the sealing performance was also investigated to validate the performance of the valve.

In brake systems, a proportioning valve(P. V), which reduces the brake line pressure on each wheel cylinder for the anti-locking of rear wheels, is closely related to the safety of vehicles. However, it is impossible for current P. V. s to completely control brake line pressure because, mechanically, it is an open loop control system. In this paper we describe an electronic brake force distribution system using a direct adaptive fuzzy controller in order to completely control brake line pressure using a closed loop control system. The objective of the electronic brake force distribution system is to change the cut-in-pressure and the valve slop of the P. V in order to obtain better performance of the brake system than with mechanical systems.

The seat leakage test is required after the maintenance work on the valve seat. Either the test has been performed outside of the plant after cutting the valve from the pipe system or the simplified test has been performed so far. It was unable to perform the test at the plant site because it is hard to make a steady pressure on the valve inlet when it is installed in the pipe. This research aims to perform the leakage test in the nuclear power plant while it is installed in the pipe system. The mock-up test is performed by pressurizing the leak-off pipe on the valve body. The result is compared with traditional test result by pressurizing the valve inlet. Furthermore the chamber mock-up tests are performed under various conditions. The leak rate by the developed test using the leak-off pipe is found to be similar but greater than the leak rate by the existing test method. It implies that the test using the leak-off pipe is more conservative than the existing test. The methodology and the equipment which this paper suggests that on-site seat test is possible and the application of the technology could reduce the time and cost for the valve maintenance work significantly.

현재 국내의 모든 CNG자동차에는 용기용 밸브로 수동밸브가 부착되어 있으며 가스누출 사고 시 운전자가 차량을 정지하고 수동밸브를 잠궈야 하는 불편한 점이 있어 누출 사고 시에는 운전자 등이 가스누출사고를 대응하는데 어려운 부분이 있다. 유럽의 선진국에서는 가스누출 시 운전자가 시동을 끄면 자동으로 닫히는 구조를 가진 전자밸브의 장착을 의무화 하고 있어 우리나라에서도 기능성이 증가된 전자식 용기밸브를 적용하는 것이 CNG 버스의 안전성을 향상 시킬 수 있는 좋은 기회일 것이다. 본 논문에서는 개개의 전자밸브의 작동상태를 운전자가 파악하기 어려운 구조적인 문제를 보완하기 위해서 충전 중 압력의 상승에 따라서 온도가 상승하는 현상에 착안하여 문제에 접근하였다. 충전 중 온도상승이 압력차에 따라서 약 $30^{\circ}C$ 이상이 발생하는 것을 이용하여, 데이터 확인 시 온도상승이 발생하지 않는 용기는 밸브가 작동하지 않아 충전이 이루어지지 않는 것으로 판단할 수 있는 실험적 결론을 얻었다.
