In this study, flow characteristics of a small-sized butterfly valve with the valve disk diameter of 25.4 mm have been investigated experimentally for the valve closed angles. In order to examine the flow characteristics of the butterfly valve, loss coefficient (Kv) was obtained at the valve closed angles of 0$^{\circ}$, 5$^{\circ}$, 10$^{\circ}$, 20$^{\circ}$ and 30$^{\circ}$. In addition, the effects of the valve disk edge shape were examined. As the result of the experiment, the maximum loss coefficient (Kvmax) was decreased with the increase of the valve closed angle, and it had the maximum decrease ratio at the valve disk angles of 0$^{\circ}$~5$^{\circ}$. The valve disk edge shape have an effect on the loss coefficient of the valve around the small valve closed angle.

In this study, the lightweight design of butterfly valve disc component for power plant based on topology optimization was performed. Here, commercial finite element (FE) analysis software was used. The external shape of the basic disc model was not deformed, and the internal element density was removed to make it lightweight. Optimal design was performed each other after the disc plate and two brackets attached on the surface of the disc were separated. Once the optimal shapes were selected, they were assembled to build up the 3-D lightweight valve disc model. After applying pressure to this model, FE analysis was performed to confirm the structural safety.

This study has investigated hydrodynamic of torque characteristics for disc of butterfly valve that is used in control for fire-protection water, The free-streamline theory is applied to predict hydrodynamic of torque characteristics. The torque characteristics of disc are corrected for the angles of attack of valve disc and surrounding velocity of flow by theoretical torque equation, and correction equation is added. The torque characteristics of disc are investigated for the ratio of hub thickness to the valve diameter. The result of prediction are shown to be successful as that show typical torque characteristics of butterfly valve. Since the velocity distribution around the disc is confirmed in a visualization, it is confirmed that the free-streamline theory can be used to predict the torque characteristics of disc.

In this study, flow and structural computational analysis were performed to investigate the structural safety of the lightweight butterfly valve disc designed by topology optimization. After flow analysis, as the opening angle increased, the flow coefficient increased non-linearly and showed a gentle slop. When the opening angle was 12 degree, the cavitation could be predicted. After FE analysis, all FE von-Misses stresses of the lightweight disc were smaller than the yield strength of the material, and all FE maximum deformations were also smaller than the conservative deformation of the previous study. Ultimately, it was confirmed that the structural safety of the lightweight valve disc based on computational analysis is effective.

게이트 밸브는 진공 시스템 구성에 있어서 빠질 수 없는 중요한 부품 중 하나로 공간을 구획하여 필요에 따라 자유롭게 진공 상태와 대기 개방 상태가 공존하도록 만들어 주며 진공펌프와 같은 주요 기기들의 탈착 및 교체를 용이하게 해 준다. 게이트 밸브는 열린 상태에서는 저항이 최소화되는 반면 닫힌 상태에서는 마치 마구리 플랜지로 막은 것처럼 완벽한 차단이 요구된다. 일반적으로 게이트 밸브 상용제품은 개스킷이 닿는 밸브 시트가 한쪽에만 마련되어 있으므로 디스크 기계구조가 충분한 압력을 발휘하지 못한다면 어느 쪽이 대기압인가에 따라 디스크를 미는 힘의 크기가 변하여 기밀특성이 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 게이트 밸브의 누설검사는 순방향과 역방향 모두에 대해 시행해야 한다. 양방향 누설검사를 위해 한쪽 밸브 공간을 배기하고 반대쪽 공간에 헬륨을 뿌리는 작업을 교대로 하려면 배기시간의 단축과 신속한 잔류 헬륨기체 제거가 필수적이다. 게이트 밸브 제조 공장에서 상품을 출하하기 위한 시험검사라는 것을 전제로 합리적인 시간 내에 정확한 누설검사를 일관성 있게 할 수 있는 적절한 누설검사 시스템을 설계하고 측정절차를 상용 게이트 밸브에 대해 적용해 보았다.

Performance analysis of the butterfly valve in water fire extinguishing has been carried out. Performance analysis of the butterfly valve are investigated for torque characteristics, pressure loss and cavitations. The torque characteristics of disc are corrected for the angles of attack of valve disc by theoretical torque equation, and correction equation is added. The pressure loss coefficient on opening angle of valve has been formulated by applying the Carnot's equations. The torque characteristics, pressure loss and cavitations of the butterfly valve are analyzed for the ratio of disc thickness to the valve diameter. Cavitations are analyzed from the pressure loss coefficient of valve. The analysis of pressure loss and cavitation has been carried out change of the thickness ratio on opening angle of valve. These analysis data are utilize to necessary engineering data to develope of the butterfly valve.

현재 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 스프링식 안전밸브는 스프링과 설정치 드리프트, 누설 취약성, 채터링에 의한 시트 파손등의 문제점을 지니고 있다. 안전밸브 디스크에서 발생하는 유체 누설은 안전밸브 설정압력 개방에 영향을 주며, 시트(Seat)면의 이물질 삽입, 균열 및 유체에 의한 침식(Erosion) 등에 의해 밸브 핵심 부품이 쉽게 손상되어 기기 성능 저하를 초래하게 된다. 따라서 유체 누설을 조기에 탐지하고 정량화하여 해당 기기의 상태정보 제공을 통한 누설 감지 기법 연구가 요구된다. 원자력 발전소의 경우 밸브에서 유체가 누설되면 밸브의 오작동 및 운전 안정성 저해 요인이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 음향방출법을 이용하여 안전밸브의 유체 누설을 평가하고, 안전밸브의 음향신호 측정 위치 선정 및 누설량에 따른 음향신호를 분석하고자 한다.

In this paper, flow on the rear region of a butterfly valve was analysed by using numerical and experimental methods. The butterfly-valve disk angle is changed as 0-60 degree and the uniform flow velocity was fixed In this experiment. It was shown that the numerical results are similar to the experimental results. General discussions are given to the flow-pattern change upon the disk angle of the valve.

In this research, we experimentally studied flow characteristic by applying PIV measuring techniques which could measure the point velocity of all flow field and measuring the unsteady velocity of surrounding disk generated in a short time. Time range of great velocity change following quick closing of the slide valve was within 0.1s and the cycle was presumed to be 0.12s as a result of comparison study between the result of point flow field and of existing pressure change. Also, surrounding disk flow inside the circular pipe was closed from the upper part and flow road was getting narrow and advanced to the lower part incidentally quickly there was a tendency that the size of the flow back velocity to the upper part immeadiately after the closure decreased to 4/120s and increased again. There was flow back velocity component in y/D=0.2 lower part by the influence of flow back to the upper part after complete closure and the vortex flow of 0.2D-size near y/D=0.7, x/D=-0.3 was observed.
