A pneumatic control valve performs a major role in controlling the flow of a system or the level of a key tank in many power plants, and its performance should be guaranteed during the plant's lifetime. Its operation starts by supplying air to the pneumatic actuator or by exhausting the air from the actuator. To control the valve position, the amount of air supply or exhaust is adjusted by a control loop where various accessaries are equipped. In this paper, air leakage in the air supply line, changes in the valve packing force, and false adjustments of zero and the span of the positioner are simulated and analyzed using a 2-in pneumatic valve with a position control loop including an I/P converter and positioner, where the valve position is controlled within ${\pm}2%$ of the control pressure at 67% opening position.

At the inlet and outlet differential pressure and The fluid velocity over 32m/s are damaged (Plug, sheet ring, trim) About reduction trim parts of the control valve. AOV of the differential pressure 1,500psi become often the damage in the nuclear power plant. Damages of AOV studied CFD analysis and improvement program. Multi-stage trim designs which decrease a fluid kinetic energy are demanded and AOV parts are demanded case hardening and material change.

Power plants rely on air operated valves for the proper operation of many plant system. Many significant problems arise in vital systems of power plants due to air operated valve failures. This paper deals with the diagnosis technique and data acquisition method of an AOV actuator peformance. We constructed AOV diagnosis system and performed some tests to find out whether an AOV actuator was properly designed.

The valve performance has been evaluated from the theoretical equation based on design information such as packing thrust, spring preload and friction coefficient(${\mu}$). The accuracy of those data can be lower than that of vendor's initial design data. Especially, the friction coefficient can be degraded with time than the original condition and the valve performance calculated using the previous friction coefficient can not be available. Accordingly, this paper is describing a new performance evaluation method of valve based on diagnostic test data which are acquired from a site valve tested in static and dynamic conditions. Especially, this paper provides a new method using friction coefficient(${\mu}$) which is derived from the diagnostic test data acquired in the valve's design basis condition.

Air-operated valve is one of principal valves that are using to control fluid flow in nuclear power plants. A period diagnosis lot safety of power plants is necessary. But there are many difficulties such as economic loss caused by income of high cost devices and a matter hard to deal with users. In this study, we developed the diagnostic system that users of power plants are easy to handle. The diagnostic system is composed of database module, diagnosis test module and evaluation module.

Air-operated valve is one of principal valves that are used to control fluid flow in nuclear power plants. It is necessary to evaluate periodically the performance of the AOV(Air-Operated Valve) which is used for controlling flow and pressure in nuclear power plants. In this study, we developed the integrated program HAES including hardware system to evaluate the performance of AOV. HAES(HANVIT AOV Evaluation System) consists of many modules such as valve information, thrust and torque analysis, actuator analysis, weak analysis and margin analysis. We applied with the test valve and showed that results evaluated by HAES is similar to those offered in the plant.
