Abstract
This paper presents the FEM analysis results on the strength safety of LPG fuelling nozzle, which is composed of ball valve and long cylinder tube. For the strength safety analysis of LPG fuelling Nozzle, the gas pressure of 0.5~3.5MPa has been supplied to the ball valve and long cylinder tube bodies with the wall thickness of 1.7~3.5mm. The maximum von Mises stress of the ball valve with 1.7mm wall thickness is 25.4MPa for the supply gas pressure of 3.5MPa, which is 25.9% compared with that of the yield stress of the brass. And the maximum von Mises stress was 23.7MPa when a 3.5MPa gas pressure was applied to a long cylinder tube with a wall thickness of 1.7mm, which was 6.7% more safe than the ball valve which was analyzed under the same conditions. For the increased wall thickness, 2.0mm of the long cylinder tube, the maximum von Mises stress of 20.2MPa is 14.8% more safe compared with that of 1.7mm wall thickness of the same cylinder tube. Thus, the wall thickness of the ball valve and cylinder tube is recommended as an optimized thickness of 1.7~2.0mm for the strength safety of the LPG fuelling nozzle.
