The estimation of fatigue life at the design stage of the compressed air tank on board is very important in order to arrive at feasible and reliable solutions considering the total lifetime of the tank. In this paper the compressed air tank on board was selected as a model and the change of inside pressure of the tank during normal navigation period was measured and the cycle of fluctuation stress was presumed statistically based on this. Also the effect of stress concentration with the FEM analysis on the longitudinal weld and the mean stress effect on the fatigue strength of compressed air tank were discussed.

The hybrid vehicle has a good fuel economy with a electric type braking energy regeneration system. This paper introduced a novel pneumatic type braking energy regeneration system. The novel system use a scroll mechanism which have both compression function and expansion function. While vehicle is decelerating, the scroll machinery, being operated as a scroll compressor, compress a atmospheric air to save the vehicle's kinetic energy and reuse a compressed air which is reserved in a air tank while vehicle is accelerating. In order to analyze fuel improvements by applying braking energy regeneration system to a vehicle, we simulated the rate of braking energy regeneration through CVS-75 mode driving patterns.

In this study, simulation of an underwater platform system which is able to perform the underwater test is implemented to predict its dynamic characteristics. Accordingly, its governing equations are derived to construct the mathematical model. From the proposed model, the time in flooding and the pressure of ballast tank in blowing air to come up are predicted. In addition, simulation of the stability of the system for repulsive force of the tube by compressed air is carried out. Their results will be used to select valves, air tanks as well as design the system including ballast tanks. And they will help users operate it efficiently.

An internal combustion engine is the most widely used power source for an automobile. In order to resolve environmental problems resulting from the use of internal combustion engines, environmentally friendly automobiles such as hybrid, electric, and air-engine vehicles are being developed. The share of hybrid vehicles using battery or pure electric vehicles, which are not popular, is gradually increasing. Compared to an electric vehicle, which uses an electric motor, air-engine vehicles, which use compressed air, have hardly been developed. In this study, a compressed air engine with a scroll expander is introduced, and the potential mileage of an automobile utilizing this engine is theoretically calculated.

기존에 사용중인 저압용 벤튜리 타입 혼합기는 0.32kg/cm2에서 열리고 0.28kg/cm2에서 닫히도록 설정되어 있다. 이 방식은 증가하는 도시가스 공급량을 따라갈 수 없기 때문에 강제 혼합기를 개발 현장에 적용하고자 한다. 본 연구를 통해서 개발하고자하는 강제 혼합기는 제어밸브을 통하여 가스 62.5%, 압축공기 37.5%의 비율로 희석하여 서지탱크로 보내진다. 완성된 혼합기를 이용한 열량실험 결과 유량이 변하여도 일정한 열량이 나옴을 알 수 있었다.

주노즐내의 공기제트의 효율을 높이기 위해, 주노즐 제트 속도는 높을수록 높은 마찰력을 초래 하여 위사의 속도를 증가시킨다. 가속관의 길이가 증가하면 노즐출구에서의 공기의 속도와 난 류가 감소하며; 가속관의 직경이 증가할 때에는 공기속도가 감소하며 난류는 증가한다. 탱크압력, 가속관의 길이 등 유동조건에 따라 유동은 니들 끝과 가속관 출구에서 이중 초크(M=1)가 발 생할 수 있다. 에어가이드 직경과 노즐직경의 그 비율이 클수록 제트에 의한 유동의 비말동 반(entrainment)이 크게 된다. 실제 노즐직기내의 유동은 위사를 동반한 유동이므로 위와 같은 정성적인 설명에 위사의 물성치에 따른 고려를 반드시 하여야만 한다. 현장에서의 노즐설계는 노즐형상 자체의 영향은 물론 각종 위사의 물성치에 맞는 압축공기 압력 최적조건이 무엇인가를 찾는 일도 매우 중요하다.

This paper described to experiment and analyze for the characteristic of underwater airbubble curtain which was generated by the air - bubble curtain generating unit consisted with air compressor (290l/min x 1.5Kw) and air tank(10kgf/$cm^2$) in order to provide foundation source for guiding fish schools. To layout the air - bubble curtain was made vinyl hoses( $cm^2$ emitting air - pressure, the wider hole interval of hose drilled the higher air - bubble curtain could be formed, and then the horizontal length of air - bubble curtain could be prolonged 45% according to be inclined vertical angle of air - bubble generating hose.

A preliminary experimental study of new concept air hybrid engine, which stores compressed air in the tank during braking and re-use it to propel vehicle during crusing or acceleration, was carried out in this study. A single cylinder engine was modified to realize the concept of air hybrid engine. Independent variable valve lift system was adopted in one of the exhaust valves to store the compressed air into the air tank during compression period. An air injector module was installed in the place of spark plug, and the stored compressed air was supplied during the expansion period to realize air motoring mode. For air compression mode, the tank with volume of 30 liter could be charged up to more than 13 bar. By utilizing this stored compressed air, motoring work of 0.41 bar of IMEP(Indicated mean effective pressure) at maximum can be generated at the 800rpm conditions, which is higher than the case of normal idle condition by 1.1 bar of IMEP.

This paper presents the system design process of district community cooling system using LNG cold energy. The newly developed LNG cooling system includes several heat exchangers, LNG storage tank, thermal mass storage tank, several cold energy storage tanks, gas air-conditioners, compressors, constant pressure regulators, cold energy and hot energy supply pipes. In addition, the gas air-conditioner system is installed to supply not sufficient cold energy due to low level of city gas consumptions during a summer period. This system design is very effective and safe to supply cold energy mass of fresh air by exchanging two thermal masses of an air and 200kcal/kg cold energy of LNG. The district community cooling system with LNG cold energy does not produce CO2 and freon gases in the air.

The amount of CNG was measured using a pressure sensor in the case of CNG vehicles. However, the current measurement method causes anxiety to the driver because it is difficult to measure the detailed amount of CNG according to various environmental conditions. This study was performed to measure the amount of CNG in CNG fuel system, and presented the method of measurement by simulating the detection system of CNG. In this experiment, a detection simulator with an ultrasonic sensor in CNG tank of Type-3 was designed, and the reception signal of the ultrasonic sensor was verified by reducing the pressure from 100 bars to 0 bars (increment=5 bars) using compressed air. As a result, the output signal voltage of the ultrasonic sensor decreased as the pressure in the tank decreased, and the it was verified that the shape of the graph was linearity.
