  • Natural gas vehicles are being applied to city buses for improving air quality in metropolitan and have proved the effective way to reduce the pollutant emissions. Liquified Natural Gas(LNG) has also attempted a vehicle fuel in order to raise the fuel storage density that is a disadvantage of Compressed Natural Gas(CNG). This paper described insulation characteristic of a LNG storage tank. From the results, adiabatic coefficient of a tested tank was around $40J/h{\cdot}^{\circ}C{\cdot}m^2$ and it was the lower level than gas safety regulation limit. Two experimental methods were adopted to justify the evaluation results and they were revealed that the results were very similar to each other. Also, through testing relief valve operation characteristic it was investigated venting amount of boiled off gas.

  • The number of compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles have increased gradually by virtue of korea government's urban air quality improvement policy since 1998. Although the use of CNG as transportation fuel gives environmental benefits, there is a possibility of huge accidents from unexpected fire. Therefore, needs for the guarantee of safety are indispensible for the reliable operation of CNG vehicles. A check valve is a safety device which prevents leakage of the pressurized fuel charged in a fuel tank. Durability of this component should be guaranteed in spite of repeated operation. This research has performed durability tests of a CNG check valve regarding the repeated usage, extreme chattering, and the effect of compressor oil.Although a check valve used for CNG vehicle satisfies validation requirements in the test results, it has been found that problem in the function of leakage prevention in a check valve could take place in the case of prolonged exposure to compressor oil.

  • Natural gas is converted in to LNG by chilling and liquefying the gas to the temperature of $-162^{\circ}C$, when liquefied, the volume of natural gas is reduced to 1/600 of its standard volume. This gives LNG the advantage in transportation. In this study, the effects of the pressure drop of refrigerant and natural gas in the LNG heat exchanger of cryogenic cascade refrigeration cycle were investigated and then the design criteria for the pressure drop of refrigerant and natural gas of the LNG heat exchanger were proposed. The pressure drop of the cascade liquefaction cycle was investigated and simulated using HYSYS software. The simulation results showed that the pressure drop in the LNG heat exchanger is set to 50 kPa considering the increase in the compressor work and COP of cryogenic cascade liquefaction cycle.

  • In this study, comparison works have been performed for single-stage and multi-stage refrigeration cycle using propane as a refrigerant in order to cool down the natural gas stream. A comparative analysis has been performed for a single, two, three and four stage refrigeration cycle using propane as a refrigerant for cooling the natural gas stream. For the simulation, natural gas feedstock properties supplied by KOGAS were utilized and Peng-Robinson equation of state model was used. As the number of compression stages increase, the condenser heat duty is decreased. The refrigeration heat duty for a four-stage refrigeration cycle is decreased by 20.36% compared to that for a single-stage refrigeration cycle. Moreover, the total refrigerant circulation rate for a four-stage refrigeration system is was reduced by 14.53% compared to the single stage refrigeration cycle. The total compression power for a four-stage compression was reduced by 41.61% compared to the single stage compression.

  • 연료로서의 DME 디메틸에테르(화학식 CH -O-CH ,DME)는 당초 가정용 캔 스프레이 등 분사 약제인 프레온의 대체 물질로 사용되기 시작했다. 그 후 양호한 압축 착화성이나 무연 연소하는 성질을 가지는 등 디젤 엔진의 연로로서 LP 가스와 동등한 증기압을 가져 LP가스의 대체연료로서 현재 전 세계에서 활발히 연구개발이 이뤄지고 있다. DME의 재료는 천연가스, 석탄, 바이오매스 등 다양한 자원에서 제조가 가능한데 이들로부터 합성가스(CO,H )를 추출.합성해 제조한다. 이것은 경제규모에 미달하는 부존자원의 유효한 이용이나 자원의 다양화에도 연결되기 때문에 차세대 연료로서 주목받고 있다. 천연가스로부터 저가로 대량 생산이 가능한 직적법이나 메탄올을 탈수해 제조하는 간접법 등 제조 기술도 확립되어 있다.

  • Recently, the gas transportation system for CNG(Compressed Natural Gas) has been developed and several innovative approaches are presented from the aspects of commercial demand. In this study, a new type of 20ft container shape CNG tank with two and four cylinder intersections by using the intersecting spheres has been proposed. And the structural analysis of CNG tank with Mildsteel, API High Tensile Steel, Al-alloy and FRP has been carried out to compare the different types of pressure vessels of materials used. The analysis result shows that the proposed intersectional cylindrical type of CNG tank can be applied to the gas transportation system. And further study on the commercial analysis and associated equipments should be carried out for the practical applications.

  • In order to estimate the combustion characteristics and the gas interchangeability for natural gas with various compositions per each production area, equivalent gas are using to replace natural gas. It is known that an equivalent gas has the same the heating value, the compression factor, the relative density, CO emission and the burning velocity as the original natural gas. However, it is not reported that the flame shape and thermal efficiency and NOx emission by real gas appliance. In this study, equivalent gas was examined the validation to replace natural gas. The CO emission the burning velocity and the flame temperature were reconfirmed, and the flame shape, the NOx emission and the thermal efficiency were numerically and experimentally investigated. As results, there was not a large difference between natural gas and equivalent gas. This result demonstrated that there was no problem using equivalent gas to replace natural gas.

  • 천연가스 도입 다변화 정책이 시행된 이후 공급 천연가스의 조성이 산지별로 적지 않게 차이나고 있으며 이에 따라 부피와 열량으로 이원화된 기존 천연가스 상거래 단위 체계를 열량 단위로 일원화하는 방안이 검토되고 있다. 열량을 상거래 단위로 하기 위해서는 고가의 가스분석기사 필요하지만 공급량이 극히 적은 상당수 공급설비에까지 이를 적용하기는 어려우며 이로 인해 보다 경제적인 방안이 모색되고 있다. 이러한 방안의 하나로 본 연구에서는 SGERG식과 비중계를 이용한 열량산정 방법을 분석해 보았다. 이를 위해 압축계수식인 SGERG식을 열량식으로 변형하고 불확도 분석을 하였다. 또한 열량계산에 필요한 비중, 이산화탄소 함량, 질소 함량의 측정 또는 예측의 타당성도 검토했고 실제 현장 데이터를 통해 본 방법의 적정성도 확인하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 제시한 방법을 이용하면 가스분석기와 유사한 불확도로 열량 산정을 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Hydrogen-compressed natural gas (HCNG) blend has attracted attention as a fuel that can reduce $CO_2$ emissions because it has low carbon content and burns efficiently. An increase in the compression ratio of HCNG engines was considered as one of the methods to improve their efficiency and reduce $CO_2$ emissions. However, a high combustion rate and flame temperature cause abnormal combustion such as pre-ignition or knocks, which in turn can cause damage to the engine components and decrease the engine power. In this study, the performance and knock characteristics with a change in the compression ratio of an HCNG engine were analyzed. The combustion characteristics of HCNG fuel were evaluated as a function of the excess air ratio using a conventional CNG engine. The effects of the compression ratio on the engine performance were evaluated through the same experimental procedures.
