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.

This paper is a purpose to study and analyze the engine starting failure examples for LPG car. The first example, the researcher verified the phenomenon that didn't supply the fuel because of filter clogging by fine alien substance in the gas valve line when he inspected the emergency cutting valve. The second example, there was no the influence of gas leakage when the solenoid operated at first. But the damage part of solenoid assemblying face wad downed a durability according to running a valve. Eventually, the researcher checked on the phenomenon of engine stopping by no gas feeding in solenoid because of leaking of gas. The third example, the researcher sought that the wiring sheaths of connector fin between EGR 10A fuse and LPG switch verified the burn-out phenomenon due to the bad contacting as tension damage produced the overheating. Therefore, the manager of a car has to do pre-inspection no producing electric failure and he must maintain his car with optimum condition.

Propellant feeding system is the system to satisfy propellant feeding requirements(mass flow rate, pressure, temperature) at engine inlet of launch vehicle. Propellant feeding test facility is being constructed for the development scheme of pressurization system, processing in tank, propellant piping system, and flow control system that are main technologies in order to develope propellant feeding system. This paper introduces the propellant feeding test facility being constructed in KARI.

In this paper, the authors benchmark a servo valve model for the fuel supply system of Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) in the KHP helicopter. This valve is directly driven with a torque motor, and the size of small gap controlled by a flapper can make change of flow rate under given pressure drop between inlet and outlet. CFD analyses using a commercial code, ANSYS-CFX 10 are performed for the series of three-dimensional models at various openness conditions. The computational results on simplified models show that CFD can play a fine roll in the design of flow path as well as in the estimation of flow force due to its precision and good repeatability. Consequently, the CFD analysis helps valve designers to understand its flow characteristics from the basis of physical fundamentals.

공작기계의 고속화, 다축화, 복잡화에 따른 열변형 오차가 공작기계에서 발생하는 오차의 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 이러한 열변형 오차를 최소화 하기 위해 공작기계의 발열부에 차가운 오일을 공급하여 냉각함으로써, 열변형을 제거하는 장치가 오일쿨러이다. 오일쿨러는 제어 방법에 따라 On-off, 가스 바이패스, 인버터 방식 등이 사용된다. 초정밀 공작기계에는 주로 가스 바이패스 및 인버터 방식이 사용되는데, 인버터 방식의 경우 고가(高價)인 관계로 주로 옵션 형태로 사용된다. 가스 바이패스 방식 오일쿨러는 인버터 방식에 비해 가격이 저렴하고 구조가 간다하며 정밀한 온도제어를 할 수 있지만 부하가 낮은 경우 구조적인 한계로 인해 온도제어 불안정을 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서는 기존 바이패스 방식 오일쿨러에서 나타나는 문제점을 해결하고 보다 정밀한 온도제어를 위해 2개의 전자밸브를 갖는 듀얼 밸브 방식 오일쿨러 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 듀얼 밸브 오일쿨러 시스템의 성능검증을 위해 정격운전, DIN 8602 규격, ISO/DIS 230-3 운전모드에서 성능을 비교/분석하였다.

Recent concerns regarding protecting, identifying, isolating, redundant routing and dewatering of subsystems of water distribution networks have led to the realization of the importance of valves in these systems. Valves serve two purposes namely, flow and pressure control and isolating subsystems due to breakage or contaminant containment. In this paper, valves are considered from the point of view of subsystem isolation. When a water main is required to be closed, it may be in general necessary to close several other pipes in addition to the broken pipe itself depending on the distribution of adjacent valves. This set of pipes is defined as a segment. In this paper a segment analysis for isolating pipes is present and based on the segment analysis, we suggested the Valve Importance Index and the 7 performance indicators to evaluate the system performance. The suggested methodology is applied to a real network to verify the applicability of the methodology.

This paper presents the FEM analysis results on the strength safety of a gas valve for a LPG cylinder. Based on the FEM analysis, the maximum von Mises stress on the boundary zone between a safety valve and the upper area of the thread is 99.2 MPa for the supplied gas pressure of 3.5 MPa in which the gas valve is fully opened. The maximum von Mises stress of 99.2 MPa is considered as safety value, because that value is lower than the yield stress of a brass material. In this case, the maximum deformation at the upper right part of the pressure regulator is 0.002mm. The maximum deformation zone is not a meaning part of the sealing part such as an O-ring or a diaphragm of a gas valve and a pressure regulator. The proposed hybrid gas valve model in which is integrated with a conventional cut-off valve and a pressure regulator is recommended as a gas leakage free mechanism and minimized compact size for a LPG cylinder.

For launcher applications, different from other applications, very high flow rate is required which can lead to supply pressure drop against required setting pressure. The supply pressure decrease is closely related to regulator characteristics. In this paper, supply pressure offset is investigated considering regulators as kinds of control systems. Pressure offset of self-operated regulator is analyzed with sensitive parameter defined as the ratio of valve travel to pressure offset. It is shown that pressure offset of self-operating regulator can be improved by incorporating proportional and integral controls and they can be materialized with pilot regulator systems.
