우리나라는 기후변화 대응을 준비하기위해 2008년도에 수립한'국가에너지기본계획(2008-2030)'에 따라 2030년까지 신재생에너지 비중을 2.4%에서 11%까지 달성을 목표로 정하고 신재생에너지 분야를 성장시키기 위해 국가기술개발 및 산업화 전략을 수립해 추진하고 있다. 이에 발맞추어 건물용 연료전지시스템의 경우, 2006년도부터 1kW급 가정용 연료전지시스템 모니터링 사업의 일환으로 3년간 210대가 도시가스사 및 지자체 등을 중심으로 설치되어 운전되어지고 있다. 특히, 2010년부터 시범보급사업이 추진되어 올해 200대를 시작으로 2011년에 300대, 2012년에 500대가 일반가정에 보급되어질 예정이다. 하지만 현재 6천만원인 연료전지시스템 가격을 실제 보급가능한 가격인 5백만원 이하로 저감시키는 것이 현 시점에서 가장 시급한 문제로 대두되어지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 그린홈 보급확대를 위한 건물용 연료전지의 보조기기인 블로워의 가격저감을 위한 연구의 일환으로 블로워의 안전성능 평가방법을 개발하여 보조기기의 가격저감 및 안전성을 확보하고자 한다. 1kW급 건물용 연료전지시스템의 여러 블로워 중 도시가스용 연료승압 블로워, 선택산화 공기 블로워, 버너 공기 블로워 및 캐소드 공기 블로워의 안전성능 평가방법을 제시함으로서, 국내 블로워 제조사의 설계방향을 제시하고 연료전지시스템의 안전성을 확인하고자 한다. 특히, 내구성, 기밀, 가혹조건시험 및 소음, 진동, 습도, 온도와 같은 내주위환경시험 등의 평가결과를 제조사에 feedback하여 안전성능 개선에 이바지하고자 한다.

In the present work, flow analysis has been performed for side channel type double stage ring blower by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation. Shear stress transport model is used as turbulent closure. The commercial CFD code CFX 11.0 is used for the calculations. Each of two stage is calculated separately and the second stage inlet flow is same as the first stage outlet flow so that consecutive calculation is possible. Velocity and pressure fields have been analyzed at the midplane between blades. The numerical results are validated with experimental data for head coefficients at different flow coefficients.

This study analyzed performance changes by an inner flow path of impeller groove for side channel type ring blower using CFD. Two models have the same side channel and clearance while one has an inner flow path and the other doesn't. To analyze the performance change of a ring blower, overall performance and local flow field were analyzed. For the overall performance, pressure increase and impeller torque were checked under the design flow condition. Under the design flow condition, pressure increase was greater for the model with the inner flow path. The model with the inner flow path showed improved efficiency because the area subject to torque decreased due to the creation of inner flow path. To analyze local flow field, a section was created from the representative location of each impeller groove toward the direction of radius. Inner channel pressure distribution depending on the rotation direction shows that the model with the inner flow path has pressure equilibrium of working fluid through the inner flow path. Velocity distribution of inside impeller groove shows that flow field was coupled and appeared to form an inner wall where the flow field was stabilized.
