Recently, the needs of system performances such as working speed and processing accuracy in machine tools have been increased. Especially, the working speed increment generates harmful heat at both moving part of the machine tools and handicrafts. The heat is a main drawback to progress accuracy of the processing. Hence, a oil cooler to control temperature is inevitable for the machine tools. In general, two representative control schemes, hot-gas bypass and variable speed control of a compressor, have been adopted in the oil cooler system. In this paper, the compressor's speed are controlled to keep reference value of temperature at oil outlet. The precision processing of a machine tool is required for an oil cooler guaranteeing ${\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$ temperature control. But the oil cooler with precision temperature control is expensive. Therefore in this paper, instead of a on/off(relay) control method, a PID and phase angle electric power control method is proposed for the precision control of an oil cooler. The proposed controller is implemented and tested at the temperature of $23^{\circ}C$, $24^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$.

공작기계의 고속화, 다축화, 복잡화에 따른 열변형 오차가 공작기계에서 발생하는 오차의 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 이러한 열변형 오차를 최소화 하기 위해 공작기계의 발열부에 차가운 오일을 공급하여 냉각함으로써, 열변형을 제거하는 장치가 오일쿨러이다. 오일쿨러는 제어 방법에 따라 On-off, 가스 바이패스, 인버터 방식 등이 사용된다. 초정밀 공작기계에는 주로 가스 바이패스 및 인버터 방식이 사용되는데, 인버터 방식의 경우 고가(高價)인 관계로 주로 옵션 형태로 사용된다. 가스 바이패스 방식 오일쿨러는 인버터 방식에 비해 가격이 저렴하고 구조가 간다하며 정밀한 온도제어를 할 수 있지만 부하가 낮은 경우 구조적인 한계로 인해 온도제어 불안정을 발생시킨다. 본 연구에서는 기존 바이패스 방식 오일쿨러에서 나타나는 문제점을 해결하고 보다 정밀한 온도제어를 위해 2개의 전자밸브를 갖는 듀얼 밸브 방식 오일쿨러 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 듀얼 밸브 오일쿨러 시스템의 성능검증을 위해 정격운전, DIN 8602 규격, ISO/DIS 230-3 운전모드에서 성능을 비교/분석하였다.

This paper deals with design and implementation method of fuzzy controller for obtaining precise temperature characteristic of HB oil cooler system in machine tools. The opening angle of an electronic expansion valve are controlled to keep reference value and room temperature of temperature at oil outlet. Especially, the fuzzy controller is added to suppress temperature fluctuation under abrupt disturbances. Through some experiments, the suggested method can control the target temperature within steady state error of ${\pm}0.22^{\circ}C$.

The Oil Coolers is very important unit for the stable thermal performance in machine tools, semiconductor equipments and high precision measuring systems. To select a proper oil cooler for the temperature control of core unit in a machine, not only cooling ability but also static and dynamic sensitivity of temperature sensors are considered. In this paper, the relationship between cooling ability and inflow oil temperature is identified. The cooling ability is increased with the increase of inflow oil temperature. The oil temperature control errors of a cooler are influenced by mainly sensitivity of temperature sensors and heating velocity in a machine. The validity of error cause analysis for temperature control is proved by real cooling experiments with inflow and outflow temperature sensors.

The military has developed and operated a variety of military vehicles. Among them, medium tactical vehicles are developed as vehicles suitable for transporting troops, replacing existing military trucks, which have a significant impact on infantry forces' combat capability. Applying technology to increase fuel efficiency to these critical weapons systems, medium tactical vehicles, increases the distance range, which can reduce effective operational performance and oil costs. In this study, a measure was taken to improve the distance range of Medium Tactical Vehicles by applying an oil temperature control strategy to increase fuel efficiency.

In this paper, cooling system of power transformers is proposed for temperature optimized control. We predict the peak temperature of power transformer coils using load factors and construct a cooling system using weighting function. For the optimized temperature control for power transformer, a correlation function based on the load factor of a load current and the each temperatures for winding coils, for air and for oil is presented to predict the winding-coil peak temperature. Also, the results controlled by applying the power transformer is presented.

Wax deposition hinders oil flow assurance. Huge amount of money and time were required for mitigation of wax deposition in the oil field. For prediction and mitigation of wax deposition problem, Wax Appearance Temperature(WAT), which is the temperature at which the first wax crystals start to form, needs to be measured in advance. There is a standard method which is optical way to measure the WAT of transparent oil. However, standard method cannot be applied to opaque oil which is common produced oil in the field. In this study, WAT of three transparent oil samples were measured using heat flux variation analysis, viscosity variation analysis and density variation analysis, and compared with WAT measured by standard method. As a result, WAT measured by density variation analysis is the more reliable than heat flux variation analysis and viscosity variation analysis. WAT of two opaque oils were measured using density variation analysis.

When the oil is produced in the low temperature environment, wax can be accumulated in petroleum production system(pipeline, riser) and causes problems such as pipeline stucking, disturbance of the oil production. These problems can be lead to time-consuming and economic losses for flow assurance. For prediction and mitigation of wax deposition, it is necessary to measure the Wax Appearance Temperature(WAT) which is a temperature when the wax crystals start to be formed. WAT standard measurement method of transparent oil has to determine the cloud point of sample to the naked eye and cannot be applied to continuous change of the temperature. In this study, wax behavior of transparent oil samples are recorded depending on temperature using Visualized WAT Measurement System. Also, WATs of transparent oil samples are measured by image processing and compared with the result of the standard method.

Recently, technical trend in machine tools is focused on enhancing of speed, accuracy and reliability. The high speed usually results in thermal displacement and structural deformation. To minimize the thermal effect, precision machine tools adopt a high precision cooling system. This study proposes a temperature control for an oil cooler system using Pill control with fuzzy logic. In the cooler system, refrigerant flow rate is controlled by rotational speed of a compressor, and outlet oil temperature is selected as the control variable. The fuzzy control rules iteratively correct PID parameters to minimize the error and difference between the outlet temperature and the reference temperature. Here, ambient temperature is used as the reference one. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, a series of experiments are conducted for an oil cooler system of machine tools, and the results are compared with the ones of a conventional Pill control. The experimental results show that the proposed method has advantages of faster response and smaller overshoot.
