Apartment recently built in kitchen is made is made because the gas hose with built-in ways invisible inside the sink. In this case, if the gas leaks, it is a dangerous method that can accumulate inside the sink and lead to an explosion. In this study, since the hose connected between the gas range and the intermediate valve is inside the sink, it is not possible to test for gas leaks, so a valve system that can easily check for gas leaks using a pressure sensor was studied. As for the pressure measurement method, the pressure of the hose connecting the intermediate valve and the gas range was measured so that data could be collected and analyzed using the I2C communication method. In addition, the calculation of the gas pressure supplied to the home was investigated for the atmospheric pressure error for the value calculated by adding the average value of the gas gauge pressure of 22.46 mbar at the inlet of the gas meter to the atmospheric pressure. A valve system was developed to detect minute gas leaks.

In this paper, the valves for a LPG gas cylinder have been investigated on the body height and weight by comparing design data between typical automatic shut-off vertical and newly developed horizontal valves. The height of an automatic shut-off horizontal valve is radically reduced by 41~42% compared with that of a typical automatic shut-off vertical valve. And, the body weight of a horizontal valve is also reduced by 29~40% compared with that of a vertical shut-off valve. This result is just achieved by a structural design modification from typical vertical valve to horizontal arrangement of various valve components.

최근 빈번하게 발생되고 있는 가스사고는 많은 인명과 재산상의 손실을 초래하고 있다. 특히 도시 가스 보다는 공기보다 비중이 큰 LP가스에 의한 사고가 많이 발생된다. 특히 최근에 발생한 인천 부평구의 LP가스 폭발사고는 사망6명, 부상21명 등 총 27명의 인명피해와 주택 붕괴 등 많은 재산상의 손실을 초래하였다. 또한 LP가스 용기는 용기자체가 자해나 위해의 수단으로 이용되기도 한다. 이에 따라 정부에서는 1998년 1월 10일 고압가스안전관리법 시행규칙을 개정하여 LP가스용기에 부착되어 사용되는 밸브를 과류차단형으로 의무화하여 가스사고예방을 위해 힘쓰고 있다.(중략)

In this paper, the finite element analysis of a valve screw for a LPG cylinder has been presented on the leakage safety and strength one, which are computed and investigated by a contact normal stress and von Mises stress between a female screw of a valve and a male screw of a neck ring in a LPG bombe. The LP gas charging pressure of a LPG bombe is $8{\sim}9kg/cm^2$, which is pressurized to the screw sealing contact areas between a valve and a LP gas cylinder. The peak failures of the screw tooth height due to a scratch wear and chipping loss of the contact area may decrease screw tooth strength and increase a leakage of a LP gas. These are strongly affect to the contact normal and von Mises stresses of the valve screws. The FEM computed results show that the tooth height loss due to a wear and chipping failure of the screw peak does not affect to the LP gas leak and strength of a valve screw theoretically. But if the tooth wear of the screw height of a brass valve overpasses the critical strength safety of the valve, the valve screw may be failed in fastening the valve and a LP gas bombe suddenly.

Currently, all domestic CNG vehicles have manual cylinder valves installed. These are inconvenient for drivers in case of a gas leak accident, because drivers have to stop the vehicle operation and manually close the valve. It makes difficult condition for drivers to quickly and properly respond to such accidents. In advanced European countries, they require Automatic cylinder valve installation, which has a structure where the valve is automatically shut off when the driver turns off the ignition in case of a gas leak. If this electric valve system is introduced in Korea, the safety of CNG buses will be improved with better functionalities. In this paper, in order to solve the structural problem of difficulty for a driver to identify the operational status of individual Automatic cylinder valves, an approach was made regarding temperature increase with pressure increase during CNG filling. it was estimated that the temperature increased approximately more than $30^{\circ}C$ due to pressure difference during the filling. Therefore, it was concluded from the experimental data that the valve of the container whose temperature did not increase did not operate, resulting in filling failure.

One-way degassing valves usually designed for coffee packaging are recently applied to the various food packaging such as fermented health functional food or home meal replacement (HMR) packaging. The optimized degassing pressure by food product is important factor for keeping effective freshness and improving preservation of the food, therefore the development of degassing valves specified with various open pressure is needed. In this study, the mechanical characteristics of the degassing valve with ring type rubber disk were analyzed and a mathematical model was developed to predict the open pressure of the valve. The model was verified with test results derived from several available valves, and it may be useful in designing and developing a new valve.

본 연구에서는 반도체 제조 공정에 이용되는 가스의 흐름을 감지하고 제어하는 장치를 제안하였다 압력센서를 MFC(Mass Flow Controller)에 의해 제어되는 다음 단의 파이널밸브(Final Valve)와 챔버사이의 가스관에 부착시켜, 이 압력센서의 신호와 공압밸브의 동작 신호를 디지털 회로를 이용하여 실시간으로 제어하도록 하였다. 이로써 반도체 제조 공정 중에 발생할 수 있는 2차 소성물로 인한 가스의 흐름 제어와 관련된 시스템 고장을 LED를 통해 실시간으로 확인 가능하다. 또한 가스누출고장발생 시 반도체 제조 공정의 프로세스를 중단시켜 장비의 손상 및 안전사고를 예방하는 기능도 있다. 본 연구에서 개발된 모듈을 이용함으로써 가스밸브의 오동작에 의한 반도체/디스플레이 제조장비의 신뢰성 향상을 기할 수 있다.

Fuel shutoff valve of a gas generator controls propellant mass flowrate of a rocket engine, by using pilot pressure and spring force. The developing fuel shutoff valve can be self sustained even though pilot pressure is removed in an actuator. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of the forces with respect to the opening and closing of the valve in order to evaluate its performance. In light of this, the valve has been designed to adjust the control pressure for the opening of the poppet and to determine the working fluid pressure at which the valve starts to close. This paper also has been designed dynamic model using the AMESim and predicted flow coefficient of the valve by Fluent CFD analysis. Various results from the prediction and the analysis have been compared with experiments. Finally, dynamic characteristics of the valve have been verified with experimental results.

Though a valve is a very important part in a system to control properly, it has potential failure caused by gap from valve stem to ball connection, and abrasion, crack, fixation causing operational trouble and accidents. 64% of the valve failure in the real case was the failure of airtightness and most accidents of leakage and explosion were occurred while fixing the failure. While there are no proper safety manual, maintenance procedure and regulation for industrial valves excluding safety valve, safety management for the valves is left to the discretion of the maintenance company. Strict maintenance that removes hazards and emergency response procedure are required to prevent and reduce the loss of accident. This study suggests safety enhancement measures through valve monitoring by investigating the status of use of valve and current maintenance. Enhancement of gas safety management can be acquired by a monitoring system that provides diagnosis for valve status, monitoring real-time gas leakage, management of entire cycle lifetime that can reduce maintenance cost.
