<1. New level meter inside the fuel tank> Ultrasound level sensors are widely applied as level meters of liquid tank. Measurement instrument of level between water and fuel is developed. Since the fuel is inflammable, the sensor system doesn't allow to include any electric circuit inside the fuel tank. The optical cable sensor can satisfy this explosive condition. The measurement method with ultrasonic sensor is attached on the tank wall or tank manhole lid. The pressure sensor can't be applied inside the gasoline fuel tank. An ultra-sonic sensor doesn't detect a enough signal reflected from water level deep under gasoline fuel. The pressure sensor is difficult to measure the height o...

A fuel tank contains water at the bottom under the fuel. The water comes from humidity by temperature change of inside and outside of tank. So it is necessary to measure both level to check precise amount of oil. But measuring instrument for level of water and fuel is not available yet. Since the fuel is inflammable, the sensor system must not include any electric circuits in the fuel tank. Optical cable sensor can satisfy this non-explosive condition. The displacement of a float changing by water level makes bending curvature of optical cable different. As the float rise up, the optical cable is bent more and the light signal in the cable decreases. The reduction of light signal is detected and it is converted into the change of water level. The output signal from a photo diode shows the proportional relation of water level. The increase of sensor voltage as a unit of ㎷ follows the level position of the float that is located between water and gasoline in the tank.

We propose a newly developed automobile sensor monitoring system incorporated with a tire pressure monitoring sensor(TPMS). The RF-transmitter based on a tire pressure sensor, sends a frame data about measured tire-pressure to RF receiver. And the various sensing signals based on sensors such as fuel-level sensor, engine oil level sensor and temperature sensors, are converted into 10-bit digital data. The microprocessor displays converting data such as tire pressure, trip distance, fuel quantity, coolant temperature and car-room temperature, on LCD panel. The proposed system can be successfully adapted to monitoring of the tire pressure and various automobile sensors.

본 연구에서는, Mn-Co-Ni 산화물계 NTC 써미스터의 열처리 조건에 따른 전기적 특성간의 상호관계에 대하여 고찰하였으며, 이를 위해 XRD. 소결체 밀도측정 및 B정수, 저항 열방산정수 등의 전기적 특성치를 조사하였다. NTC 써미스터의 열처리 과정은 Mn-Co-Ni 산화물 시험편의 소결특성에 큰 영향을 미치고있었으며, 본 연구의 조성하에서는 $1250^{\circ}C$, 2시간 동안 열처리한 경우 가장 높은 밀도치를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 조건하에서 미세구조 관찰결과 치밀화과정이 거의 완전하게 이뤄짐을 확인하였다. 제조된 NTC 써미스터는 소결 온도가 상승함에 따라 저항값 및 B 정수값이 커지는 것을 확인하였으며, 연료 액위의 변화에 다른 출력전압의 거동을 측정한 결과 선형 감소 거동을 나타내었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 제조된 Mn-Co-Ni 산화물계 NTC 써미스터의 전기적 특성은 열처리 조건과 밀접한 연관성이 존재하는 것으로 사료되며, 향후 자동차용 연료액위센서로의 응용성이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The sensing of a stack coolant deficiency is very important in that cooling performance of a fuel cell, overheating prevention of a stack or coolant heater. This paper explains the performance comparison between the coolant contact/noncontact level sensors and coolant deficiency sensing logic using the pressure sensor in a stagnant or circulating flow. Throughout the comparison, the pressure sensor is more suitable than the other sensors in terms of the precision, fast response, sensing frequency. After the experiment, the pressure sensor is equipped to an FCEV(Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) to verify sensing definitely. There was no miss-sensing using pressure sensor while FCEV runs in the conditions of the paved road and cross country road.

In this paper, we measured the radiation dose of a fuel handling machine of the CANDU type Wolsong nuclear reactor directly during operation, in spite of the high radiation level. In this paper we will describe the sensor development, measurement techniques, and results of our study. For this study, we used specially developed semiconductor sensors and matching dosimetry techniques for the mixed radiation field. MOSFET dosimeters with a thin oxide, that are tuned to a high dose, were used to measure the ionizing radiation dose. Silicon diode dosimeters with an optimum area to thickness ratio were used for the radiation damage measurements. The sensors are able to distinguish neutrons from gamma/X-rays. To measure the radiation dose, electronic sensor modules were installed on two locations of the fuel handling machine. The measurements were performed throughout one reactor maintenance cycle. The resultant annual cumulative dose of gamma/X-rays on the two spots of the fuel handling machine were 18.47 Mrad and 76.50 Mrad, and those of the neutrons were 17.51 krad and 60.67 krad. The measured radiation level is high enough to degrade certain cable insulation materials that may result in electrical insulation failure.

It is important to accurately measure and control the relative humidity of humidified gas entering a PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cell stack because the level of humidification strongly affects the performance and durability of the stack. Humidity measurement devices can be used to directly measure the relative humidity, but they cost much to be equipped and occupy spaces in a fuel cell system. We present soft sensors for predicting the relative humidity without actual humidity measuring devices. By combining FIR (finite impulse response) model with PLS (partial least square) and SVM (support vector machine) regression models, DPLS (dynamic PLS) and DSVM (dynamic SVM) soft sensors were developed to correctly estimate the relative humidity of humidified gases exiting a planar-type membrane humidifier. The DSVM soft sensor showed a better prediction performance than the DPLS one because it is able to capture nonlinear correlations between the relative humidity and the input data of the soft sensors. Without actual humidity sensors, the soft sensors presented in this work can be used to monitor and control the humidity in operation of PEM fuel cell systems.

The emergency AC power supply system of the nuclear power plant is designed to supply the power to the nuclear power plant at the emergency operating condition. The safety function of the diesel generator at the nuclear power plant is to supply AC electric power to the safety system whenever the preferred AC power supply is unavailable. The reliable operation of onsite standby diesel generator should be ensured by a condition monitoring system designed to maintain, monitor and forecast the reliability level of diesel generator. The purpose of this paper is to improve the existing ultrasonic sensor used for condition diagnosis of engine fuel pump and cylinder head for the accurate diagnosis in actual engine condition of emergency diesel generator(EDG). As a result of this study, we could design and develop much more reliable ultrasonic sensor than existing ones.

본 논문은 차량용 에어컨 압축기가 실차 연비에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실험적으로 연구한 것으로, 본 연구의 목적은 연비에 주요한 영향 인자인 압축기의 토출 용량별 구동 토크에 의한 실차 연비 기여도를 분석하는 것이다. 연비에 직접적인 영향을 주는 압축기의 부하를 측정하기 위하여 압축기 클러치에 직접 부착하는 토크 센서를 개발하였으며, 실차 평가전 벤치 토크 미터와의 비교 평가를 통하여 토크 센서의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 토크 센서가 부착된 압축기를 장착한 차량을 환경 풍동에서 연비 측정을 할 수 있도록 장치를 구성한 상태에서 연비 평가를 수행하였다. 압축기의 토출 용량에 따른 구동 토크는 연비에 직접적인 영향을 주며, 동일 사양 압축기에서 토출 용량이 약 11% 커질 때 연비는 약 2~3% 악화됨을 알 수 있었다.
