관내의 유량을 제어하는 볼 밸브(ball valve)는 개폐각도(opening degree)가 커짐에 따라 출구에서 유속이 증가하고 밸브(valve)의 입 출구 간 압력강하(pressure drop)가 증가한다. 출구에서의 압력이 작동유체의 포화증기압보다 낮아질 때 공동현상(cavitation)이 발생한다. 관내에서의 공동현상은 배관시스템의 진동 및 소음, 부식 등에 있어서 악영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 설계에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 버터플라이 밸브를 비롯한 다른 밸브에서는 공동현상감소에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어졌다. 이에 본 연구에서는 볼 밸브 내 유동 특성(characteristic of flow)과 볼 밸브의 입출구간 압력강하를 줄이는 연구를 수행하였다. 개폐 각도와 그에 따른 압력강하와의 관계를 Edison_전산열유체를 사용하여 분석하고 공동현상을 감소시킨 볼 밸브의 설계를 제시 하였다.

Developed is the new gas-solid flow ball valve where air injection purging concept is applied for the control and the reduction of particle fouling. CFD analyses are conducted for investigating the interaction between gas-sold and air injection streams and the fouling phenomena in valve, and the analysis results are reflected in the design of valve geometry and air injection condition. Through the actual tests on designed ball valve, the present valve is shown to be superior in fouling reduction.

The main purpose of the ball valve ball is to be moved by the rotation of the stem when fully open or completely closed. In this study the heat of the initial model, which used a structure interaction analysis technique, tried to examine the structural safety of the high temperature for the ball valve. In the initial model the stress of the exiting sheet was more than the yield strength. We selected two design shapes with variables of length and thickness for the optimization of the sheet. The Kriging interpolation method was applied to a meta-model-based optimization technique. As a result, it was possible to find a thickness and length for the sheet within the yield strength. This was done by measuring the value of the capacity coefficient of the valve and evaluating the performance of the ball valve.

PFA 라이닝 밸브 (PFA Lined Valve)는 고온 (~120oC) 고압 (~10 bar)에서 강한 부식성을 갖은 화학물질 (염산, 황산, 질산 등)을 이송시킬 수 있도록 내식성, 비점착성, 내열성 향상을 위한 불소계 수지 PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy)가 밸브 내면부에 가공되어 있으며, 고순도 화학약품 및 반도체 LCD 석유화학 제철 제약 분야 등의 제조공정에서 사용되고 있다. 미국 EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)에서는 석유화학 플랜트에서 발생되는 비산배출 (fugitive emission)의 대부분인 60% 정도가 밸브에서 발생된다고 보고하고 있으며, 근래 빈번한 불산 노출사고 내용을 매스컴에서 접할 수 있는 것처럼 PFA 라이닝 밸브가 설치되는 산업현장에서는 미소 누설에도 치명적인 인명피해 사고가 발생하기 때문에 국제규격에 따른 PFA 라이닝 밸브의 기밀누설에 관한 규제 및 관리가 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 가압진공법을 이용하여 PFA 라이닝 볼밸브의 비산배출 측정하였으며, 작동횟수/온도변화에 따른 PFA 라이닝 볼밸브의 비산배출 특성을 고찰하였다.

A valve product can be over-designed or too heavy. Finite element analysis was performed using ANSYS for two and three-dimensional ball valve models, and the ball weight was reduced by optimization within the allowable design criteria. The ball is structurally safe according to the computed stress values, which are within the material's admissible stress. The weight was reduced by about 22%, and the structural safety factor was 1.25. The structural safety of the seat insert and ring, which are used to prevent leakage, was confirmed through finite element analysis. It is shown that the two-dimensional analysis can result in similar values to the three-dimensional analysis for the axisymmetric structure. The redesign of the valve is not included in the results since such changes require a whole new design process, including all valve components.

Hydrogen energy is the clean energy source of the future. Ultra-high-pressure hydrogen is used in hydrogen stations, with its parts being developed. On the other hand, ultra-high-pressure ball valve, which is one of its parts, depends on overseas, with the level of domestic research on this being only about 10% of advanced technology research on this abroad. In this study, the shape of an ultra-high-pressure ball valve for a hydrogen station was designed to improve its structural strength. The valve body was designed according to distance between both processed body holes along inlet and outlet ports. The designed vale body was then analyzed using ANSYS to check whether points with stress were concentrated. In addition, the valve with improved body was analyzed to confirm that the valve satisfied the design condition.

Flow characteristics inside a 10 inch ball valve have been analyzed using three-dimensional numerical analysis and experiments. Continuity and three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations have been used as governing equations for the numerical analysis. The numerical model has been constructed through the grid dependency test and validation with the results of experiments to ensure reliability and numerical effectiveness. The shear stress transport (SST) model has been used as the turbulence closure. The experimental test-rig has been constructed to measure pressure, temperature and flow rate along the pipeline. Some valve opening angles have been tested to evaluate the flow characteristics inside the ball valve and pipeline. The results show that the rapid pressure variations is observed while the valve opening angle decreases, which caused by flow separation at the downstream of the ball valve.

This study deals with the check valve safety valve for residential gas piping. It can be manually shut off within 1 second in case of emergency, and it is possible to touch 3kg of pressure by hand force. To develop the technology so that it can be used repeatedly. Study results after first valve operation. And 0.61 seconds on average. Therefore, it was found that there was no problem in operation even when used as a safety valve. Third, it was found that all of the results of using the blocking ball diameter of 7mm were not abnormal. In this study, it is meaningful to develop the check valve safety valve of gas piping and verify the performance by testing with existing valve.
