본 논문은 수두증 환자의 체내에 삽입하는 파릴린 막체크 밸브의 제작과 시험에 관한 것이다. 파릴린 막 체크밸브는 세 가지 특징을 가지고 있다. 박막의 초기 인장응력에 따라 특정한 압력 이상에서 밸브가 열리고, 막과 밸브 입구의 크기에 따라 순방향과 역방향 특성을 서로 다르게 하며, 앤티사이폰 역할을 한다. 파릴린 체크 밸브는 상부 기판과 하부 기판으로 구성되어 있다. 하부 기판은 입구, 출구, 유로, 두 개의 완충챔버로 이루어져 있고, 상부 기판은 입구 박막과 두 개의 완충 챔버 박막으로 이루어져 있다. 하부 기판에는 밸브 구멍 주위에 밸브 시트를 두어 두 기판을 조립할 때 밸브 시트가 막을 변형시키면서 박막에 초기 인장 응력을 주도록 되어 있다. 또, 하부 기판에 특정한 각을 가진 유로 및 완충 챔버를 형성하여 역류 발생시 유체를 완충 챔버 쪽으로 흐르게 한다. 유한요소법(FEM)을 이용하여 박막과 밸브 입구의 크기, 박막의 두께 등을 변화시켜가며 박막의 응력과 변형을 해석하였고 해석 결과로부터 밸브 시트의 높이를 결정하였다. 마이크로머시닝으로 두 기판을 제작하고 조립한 후, 순방향과 역방향의 압력에 대한 유량을 측정하여 파릴린 체크 밸브의 특성을 시험하였다.

The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of dynamic characteristics of the check valve applied to the small piezoelectric-hydraulic pumps on flow rate formation. The flow rate of the piezoelectric-hydraulic pump is a key factor in the formation of the load pressure to operate the brake system. At this time, the natural frequency of the check valve operating in the fluid has a great influence on the formulation of the flow rate of the piezoelectric-hydraulic pump. In addition, the natural frequency of the check valve is affected by the gap between the check valve and the pump seat. In this study, the natural frequency of the check valve according to the gap between the check valve and the pump seat was calculated through the fluid-structure interaction analysis. The flow rate obtained from the simulation result was verified by comparing it with the result from the flow rate experiment using the developed piezoelectric-hydraulic pump.

In this paper, the calculation of the theoretical pressure transfer ratio due to the deformation of the thin-plate spring type check valve applied to the small piezoelectric-hydraulic pump was carried out. A thin-plate check valve is a flexible body that is deformed by an external force. The deformation of the check valve affects the rate at which the chamber pressure is transferred to the load pressure. The theoretical pressure transfer ratio for each model was calculated to compare the difference between the assumption that the thin-plate check valve is a rigid body and that of the flexible body model. The P-delta effect was considered for the calculation of the pressure transfer ratio of the flexible check valve model. In addition, a verification test for the calculated pressure transfer ratio obtained by considering the deformation of the flexible check valve model was carried out. The load pressure was measured by applying a thin-plate and ball-thin plate spring type check valves, respectively. The experimental pressure transfer ratio was calculated using the respective load pressure obtained from the experiments. The validity of the pressure transfer analysis of the check valve, taking into consideration the P-delta effect, was verified by comparing it with the theoretically calculated pressure transfer ratio.

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.

Check valves developed for aerospace applications and commercially available for the applications are investigated. The examples include the ones for launch vehicles, SSME (Space Shuttle Main Engine) and GSE (Ground Support Equipment) purges developed by NASA, requiring high reliability, and the ones by KARI. Also the commercial ones for room and cryogenic temperatures by major valve US companies. Relations of design factors such as seal materials and spring rate to principal performances like operating temperature/pressure and cracking pressure are explained. Then potential operational problems such as chatter and contaminations are explained. Also, filters, fittings for end connections and cleanliness requirements for the applications are considered.

In this study, a new check valve was studied to improve the load pressure of a brake system with a small piezoelectric-hydraulic pump. During the pressurization process, the steady-state pressure at the load is affected by the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the check valve the chamber pressure and load pressure. Since the flow path cover of the check valve is made wider than the cross-sectional area of the output flow to prevent backflow, a method of reducing the area ratio is proposed for a higher load pressure by mounting an additional mass to a thin plate spring type check valve. To identify the effect of mounting an additional mass to the existing check valve on the load pressure, a simple brake system with a small piezoelectric-hydraulic pump was modeled using a commercial code AMESim. The AMESim modeling was verified by comparing the simulation results with the experimental results of the pump the existing check valve. The additional mass was added to the verified AMESim modeling and higher load pressure was able to be obtained through simulation. The 35% performance improvement in load pressure identified by carrying out pressurization test of the brake system after adopting the new check valve the small piezoelectric-hydraulic pump.

In this study, the pressurization characteristics of the small piezoelectric hydraulic pump for a brake system has been analyzed through modeling the full hydraulic pump components; the pump chamber, check valve, pump load, pump drive controller etc. To analyze the pressurization characteristics, the process of charging pressure in the chamber with stacked-layer piezoelectric actuator were firstly modeled. Secondly, the flow coefficient of the check valve in terms of valve opening has been calculated after computational fluid dynamics analysis, such as the pressure distribution around check valve and the flow rate, was conducted. Also the pump driving controller, which controls the input voltage to the actuator, was designed to make the load pressure follow the input pressure command. The simulation results find that it takes about 0.03ms to reach the operating load pressure required for the braking system. The simulation result was also verified through comparison to the result of the pump performance test.

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.
