Two different types of algorithms were developed and applied to detect the partial faults of a multi-type air conditioning system. Partial faults include the compressor valve leakage, the refrigerant pipe partial blockage, the condenser fouling, and the evaporator fouling. The first algorithm was developed by using mathematical models and parity relations, and the second algorithm was developed by using mathematical models and a RBF neural network. Test results showed that the second algorithm was better than the first algorithm in detecting various partial faults of the system. Therefore, the algorithm developed by using mathematical models and a RBF neural network may be used for the detection of partial faults of an air-conditioning system.

EPDM 봉인물질을 가진 SOV의 작동실패 사례 및 원인을 분석해보면 많은 SOV 고장(SOV failures)은 결국 EPDM 봉인물질이 원인인 것으로 나타났다. SOV 고장은 SOV가 그것의 설계 범위를 초과하는 주위 온도(ambient temperature)에 노출되어 있었기 때문에 발생되었다. 그러한 SOV 고장은 증기누설, 주위 온도의 부정확한 평가 등의 원인에 의해 발생되었다. 또한 SOV 고장은 연속적인 coil의 여기시 발생하는 가열(heatup from energization)로 인해 수명이 단축되는 영향이 서비스 수명 기간에 적절하게 포함되지 않았기 때문에 발생되었다 많은 발전소 운용자는 이러한 사실을 알고 있지 못하였으며 결과적으로 서비스 수명 기간이 과도 예측되는 결과가 초래되었다 SOV의 또 다른 연성(Soft) 봉인물질로, 열저항 특성이 EPDM에 비해 약 $50^{\circ}C$ 정도 우수한 Viton 봉인물질에 대한 특성이 제시되었다. 더불어 현재 많은 국외 솔레노이드구동밸브 전문 생산업체들이 Viton 재료를 옵션으로 채택하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 고온주변에서 지속적으로 노출되어 있는 환경에서 Viton이 EPDM의 문제점을 어느 정도 해결할 수 있는 지의 여부는 현재 결론 내리기 어려울 것으로 판단되며, 향후 이를 채택한 SOV의 운전경험을 계속 주시할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In a spool valve analysis, the Reynolds equation is commonly used to investigate the lubrication characteristics. However, the validity of the Reynolds equation is questionable in a spool valve analysis because cavitation often occurs in the groove and the depth of the groove is much higher than the clearance in most cases. Therefore, the validity of the Reynolds equation in a spool valve analysis is investigated by comparing the results obtained from the Reynolds equation and the Navier-Stokes equation. Dimensionless parameters are determined from a nondimensional form of the governing equations. The differences between the lateral force, friction force, and volume flow rate (leakage) obtained by the Reynolds equation and those obtained by the Navier-Stokes equation are discussed. It is shown that there is little difference (less than 10%), except in the case of a spool valve with many grooves where no cavitation occurs in the grooves. In most cases, the Reynolds equation is effective for a spool valve analysis under a no cavitation condition.

This study analyzed a gas explosion accident. A gas smell from a underground coffee shop in the two-story building was reported to 119. A fire brigade was turned out, turned off the main valve of LPG gas cylinder on the roof, and checked the turning off of middle valve in the coffee shop. The fire brigade required a gas supplier and gas installer who arrived at the spot to take safety actions. Gas explosion occurred seven minutes after the fire brigade was withdrawn and two people died and 21 people were injured. A court decided that because the causes for gas explosion were not found, compensation responsibility could not be charged with the gas supplier, the gas installer, or Korea Gas Safety Corporation. In this reason, the court judged that only the fire brigade who was withdrawn without taking safety actions shall compensate victims or bereaved families. Therefore, fire brigades who turn out after a 119 report of a gas leak should take safety actions such as escaping people or preventing people's access and ventilating and be withdrawn when there is no possibility of fire or explosion.

In an oil hydraulic piston pump, the cylinder block and valve plate in high speed relative sliding motion have the characteristics which should be extremely controlled for the optimization of leakage and friction losses, and pressure-resistance design of them is very important for high pressure performance. But the studies on the stress analysis of those parts have not been performed briskly. Therefore, in this paper, the stress and displacement distributions of the cylinder block and valve plate in the oil hydraulic piston pump with a swash plate type are discussed through the static stress analysis using CATIA V5. The stress and displacement of the cylinder block are more influenced by the axial pressure than by the radial pressure, and are larger by approximately 66% and 30%, respectively. The results show that a review of the material and shape of the valve plate is required.

The purpose of this paper is to study for fire example by fuel leakage in LPG Vehicle. At first example, the car was repaired the fuel line that was connected with pressure hose between fuel regulator and injector in engine. But the service man was not very tighten with regular torque. At a result, the gas leaked on hot parts of engine. It verified the production of fire by engine heat. At second example, when the repair man, after replacement the injector, inserted the injector in a assembling part of it, he didn't the transform condition of fixing part. Therefore, the tearing phenomenon of O ring producted the controlled leakage of fuel by the injector deflection. It found the fact that the fuel leaked with gap of O ring. At third example. the fuel-cut solenoid valve was lined with pressure regulator unit. But the service man didn't throughly certify the leaked work of connected parts after repaired it. As a result, it certified the fire by engine heating leaked liquefied petroleum gas. Therefore it have to minimize the fire production that the driver should do no problem to throughly manage the fuel system.

In order to reduce the number of installation processes and the cost, a unified ball valve and polyethylene-steel pipe is proposed and tested. An integrated design approach is carried out such that a virtual manufacturing based on finite-element analysis is first performed in order to examine contact conditions under exaggerated temperature variations (${\Delta}T\;=\;60^{\circ}C$ and $-50^{\circ}C$ for summer and winter, respectively). From the final design configuration, it was predicted that the maximum contact pressures are 71 and 8.1 MPa for summer and winter, respectively, at relatively larger contact surface. Based on this observation, a prototype model is fabricated to go through an actual leakage test. The prototype pipe passed a hydrostatic strength test successfully, showing no leakage at even much higher (54 MPa) than the operational pressure (0.25 MPa).

Static seals are used to seal high temperature gas and cryogenic fluid under high pressure, at interfaces between liquid rocket engine components such as combustion chamber, turbopump, gas generator, valves, etc. As thermal expansion and contraction at assembly interfaces cause undesirable leakage under cryogenic and high temperature environments, static seals applied for sealing of joint interfaces without relative motion should be designed properly. The additional function of rotation at the sealing face is also required for static seals, when the spherical flange is used for improvement of assembly at misalignment interfaces. In this study, structural analysis and leak tightness test of simulating test rig for several important interfaces are performed, to verify structural integrity of static seals.

Due to the climate changing, the world's countries are tightening regulations on CO2 and air pollutants emission to solve them. In addition, eco friendly vehicles is increasing to replace automobiles in internal combustion engine. Recently, the government is supporting the expansion of hydrogen refueling infrastructure and localization of core equipment in refueling facilities according to the hydrogen economy road map. In this study, design of the Excess flow limiting device in FCEV cylinder valve using by finite element analysis and performed performance tests on prototype. Major test results as hydrostatic strength, continued operation, operation, pressure impulse, leakage showed that the excess flow limiting device meets the performance requirements according to ISO 12619-2 and ISO 12619-11.
