A high-pressure, high-pressure drop control valve, which transforms the power transfer of a system by reducing the inlet pressure of 345bartothe outlet pressure of 112bar, is a fundamental component in an offshore plant process. With the increasingly growing market share of the maritime industry, this valve has been expected to be a high-value-added product. This study not only analyzes the relation between pressure drop and fluid velocity in a trim by using fluid analysis, but also examines the possibility of cavitation in a valve in addition to the plot for the extension of lifespan. Based on the analysis results, the design and production method of the valve are established, and accordingly, performance evaluation is carried out. It is demonstrated that the pressure drop from 345bar to 112bar is more feasible in the presence of the trim, which can induce a continuous and diminutive pressure drop in order to prevent cavitation in a high-pressure drop control valve. Furthermore, despite the fluid velocity near a seatring being found to be over 30m/s, the lifespan of the valve is determined to be adequate considering the operation condition of a prototype valve of 80%.

Piezo ceramic actuator is used for various industrial products such as spray, dispenser, and valve control etc. Since the deflection of the piezo ceramic element depends on the applied voltage, it is required a power amplifier with high voltage supply for driving the piezo ceramic actuators. In this paper, we develop a simple H-bridge type power amplifier and a compact flyback type high voltage switching mode power supply for piezo ceramic actuators. It is easy to adjust the amount of energy input to piezo ceramic actuator by pulse-width-modulation with H-bridge type power amplifier.

Lean combustion in a SI engine is one of the best solution for the improvement of fuel economy and reduction of pollutant emission. In order to access a lean combustion engine, stable combustion at lean AlF ratio is needed. In this paper, the effect of fuel injection timing on lean misfire limit has been investigated in an MPI engine. To investigate the interaction of injection timing and intake flow characteristics, three different swirl generating SCV(swirl control valve) configurations were considered, and investigated their effects on lean misfire limit and torque at full load operation. Also the effects of spark timing on lean combustion has been investigated. Lean combustion has been examined and the results are reported in this paper. SCV B has been developed to satisfy the requirements of sufficient swirl generation to improve lean combustion and stable performance. It is found that injection timing, spark timing and intake air motion govern the stable lean combustion.

The solenoid valve in ABS hydraulic modulator is a two directional on-off valve and is controlled by around 100Hz high speed pulse width modulation. When the valve is switched from open state to closed state, noise and vibration due to pressure surge phenomena in the hydraulic line and wheel cylinder are made. In this study, we identify Pressure surge phenomenon in the braking process of a ABS, and investigate the way to reduce the phenomenon. For the purpose of theoretical analysis on the pressure surge in the closed state hydraulic line, characteristic curve method based on wave equation was utilized. To reduce the surge, high frequency control of 20kHz was attempted. The result showed that the surge pressure of 50% was reduced compared to one observed in the low frequency control. Duty variation of high frequency can control current of solenoid valve and prevent sudden change of displacement.

The turbocharger, to decrease the harmful exhaust gas(CO, HC and etc.) and $CO_2$ emission as well as the increase of the engine output, would be an useful method for engine downsizing. Therefore the thermal endurance of turbine blade, the lubrication of turbine shaft and the engine knock according to the supercharge of the inlet air, had been studied. And there had been much progress in these research tasks to be achieved a breakthrough. But a study on the built-in WGV of a gasoline engine for a passenger car which may effect on the engine performance, is few. In this paper, the effect of the embedded WGV on the engine performance was performed through the endurance test, which was conducted more than 300 hrs using the 4 stroke, 1998 cc, water-cooled engine. To sum up the major results, there were an abrasion in the area of the WGV head edge and the thermal deformation on the WGV head face, These phenomena led to reducing the boost pressure which caused the reduction in the volumetric efficiency of the engine. It resulted in decreasing the engine power gradually during the life cycle of the embedded WGV.

Meter-in, meter-out and bleed-off circuits are widely utilized in order to adjust the speed of a hydraulic actuator by using a flow control valve and in order to regulate the pressure of a hydraulic volume by using a simple on-off valve. In these circuits, a relief valve serves either to maintain constant system pressure or to protect the system from over-pressure loading. The relief valve of a bleed-off circuit is the second case frequently undergoing on-off action during operation. It makes the analysis of the pressure control characteristics of the circuit highly difficult. In this paper, steady-state flow rate, pressure, heat loss and efficiency of the three circuits are reexamined and basic experiments far obtaining the characteristics of a pump and relief valve are conducted. Finally, simple empirical first-order dynamic models of decreasing and increasing pressure were separately proposed and verified by comparison with experiment. As the result, the basis for the theoretical analysis of the pressure control characteristics of a bleed-off circuit using a simple on-off valve is established.

The running condition of multi-system air conditioner is prone to vary largely as it is designed for individual conditioning in each space of middle and small sized buildings. This leads to overcooling in case of partial load run, while the lack of capacity happens in case of full load run. Besides these, there exist such problems as instabilities due to the uneven refrigerant distribution caused by fluctuation of load and the change in piping line. Based upon the basic study on the function characteristics found in parts needed for maximized system working design in order to troubleshoot, the system functioning pattern should be identified through the different tests with various operating circumstances and the analysis models should be developed. With this ground, the control logic has to be made to have a control over capacity and make possible the efficient distribution of refrigerant.

This paper describes the actual application of a feedback control loop as a means for minimizing turbine impulse chamber pressure variation during the turbine steam valve tests at a 1,000 MW nuclear power plant. The chamber pressure control loop was implemented in the new digital control system which was installed as a replacement for the old analog type control system. There has been about 40MW of the generator output change during the steam valve tests, especially the high pressure governing valve tests, because the old control system had not the impulse chamber pressure control so the operators had to compensate steam flow drop manually. The process of each valve test consists of a closing process and an reopening process and the operators can make sure that the valves are in their sound conditions by checking the valves movement. The control algorithm described in this paper contributed to keep the change in megawatt only to 6MW during the steam valve tests. Thereby, the disturbance to reactor control was reduced, and the overall plant control system's stability was greatly improved as well.

자동차는 다양한 형상과 기능을 가진 부품소재의 집합체라 할 수 있다. 자동차의 고출력화에 의한 연비향상과 각국의 환경규제 강화 요건을 충족시키기 위해 자동차 엔진의 작동온도와 이에 따른 배기가스의 온도가 꾸준히 높아지는 추세이다. 따라서 고온재료의 선택과 사용이 보다 중요해 지고 있다. 자동차에 사용되는 고온 부품은 설계사양에 맞추어 그리고 경제적인 측면을 고려하여 내열재료를 사용하는 방법과 표면처리를 하는 두 가지 방법이 주로 채택되고 있다. 내열재료를 사용하는 대표적인 부품은 엔진을 구성하는 부품과 연소실로부터 나오는 고온 고압의 배기가스가 이동하는 배기계 부품이다. 엔진을 구성하는 부품 중에는 냉각수에 의해 온도가 제어되는 부분은 경제적인 소재가 사용되나 밸브와 같은 부품은 고온재료가 채용된다. 가장 높은 온도에서 사용되는 배기계 부품에는 경제성이 감안되면서도 높은 열적, 기계적 안정성이 동시에 요구되고 있다. 전통적으로 배기부품에는 구상흑연주철이 널리 사용되어 왔고 현재에도 원가 측면의 강점을 이용해 대부분의 차량에 적용되고 있으나 일부 고출력, 고배기량 엔진의 경우에는 주철의 한계온도 이상의 배기온도가 요구되어 스테인리스 강을 도입하고 있다. 또한 내열 타이타늄 합금, 금속간화합물과 같은 고온재료가 개발됨에 따라 고가의 차종에는 신재료가 이들 부품으로 채용되고 있다. 이 글에서는 배기계 부품의 설계적인 요소에 의한 열적, 기계적 측면의 내구 특성을 살펴보고, 이들 부품에 보편적으로 적용되는 고온 금속재료의 종류 및 기계적 특성을 소개하였다. 아울러 미래의 환경친화적 자동차용 고온 부품을 개발하기 위하여 연구되고 있는 Super Si+MO, 스테인리스 강, TiAl, 고온 타이타늄 합금 등과 같은 자동차 내열 부품으로 사용되는 신소재의 연구개발 동향에 관하여 기술하였다.
