Abstract

In this study, shape design and material selection were carried out for a two-stage pressure-reducing regulator to compensate for the shortcomings of a one-stage mechanical decompression regulator. The shape of the contact surface of the depressurization unit was considered, material was selected, and the shape was designed to compensate for the pulsation and slow response through the two-stage decompression and to solve the problem of high pressure deviation. In terms of airtightness, the deformation amount of TPU showed a small amount of displacement of up to 15.82%. Considering the fact that it is applicable to various hydrogen fuel supply systems by securing universality by applying electronic solenoids to the second pressure reduction, magnetic materials were selected. The hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion resistance were evaluated to verify the plating process. Surface corrosion did not occur in only the case of Cr plating. The elongation during the corrosion process was compared using a tensile test, and there was a difference within 2%.

수소연료전지차(FCEV)는 전기를 자체 생산하는 연료전지를 동력원으로 하고 있으며 기존 기계식 레귤레이터의 출구압은 시스템 사양에 의해 제작 시점에서 고정되며 순간적인 수소 공급량에 의한 출구압 강하가 발생하는 경우 수소의 공급유량이 부정확해지는 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 존재하는 1단 기계식 감압 레귤레이터를 보완하기 위한 2단 감압 레귤레이터의 형상 설계 및 재질 선정을 수행하였다. 2단계 감압을 통한 맥동과 느린 응답을 보상하고 고압 편차 문제를 해결하기 위해 감압 유닛의 접촉면 형상을 가공성을 고려하여 설계하였다. 기밀성 측면에서 TPU의 변형량은 최대 15.82% 작은 변위량을 보였으며, 재질 선정에서는 2단 감압에 보편성을 확보하고 다양한 수소 연료 공급시스템에 적용 가능한 전자식 솔레노이드를 고려하여 자성체를 선정하고 적절한 도금 종류를 검증하기 위한 수소 취성 및 내식성 평가를 실시하였다. 시편의 표면 부식은 Cr 도금의 경우에서만 발생되지 않았으며, 인장 시험을 통해 부식과정간 연신율을 비교하였을 때, 2% 이내의 차이를 확인하였다.
