깨끗한 모래로 채워진 4개의 16갤론 크기 드럼통에 주물 파이프가 설치되었고 각 파이프에는 3개의 styrene butadiene rubber gasket(1개의 joint와 2개의 end caps)을 장치하였다. 각 파이프는 상수로 채워 내부의 압력을 약 40psi로 유지하였다. 첫 번째 드럼은 일정량의 휘발유로, 두 번째 드럼은 pyrene과 naphthalene을 포함한 휘발유로, 세 번째 드럼은 toluene으로 채워졌고, 네 번째 드럼은 대조군으로 사용되었다. 외부 오염물질의 이동에 의한 오염을 조사하기 위해 일정 간격으로 파이프 내의 물을 약 2년 간 조사하였다. 오염 물질이 투입된 3개의 드럼에서 약 100일 후부터 유기 오염 물질이 검출되었고 외부에 채워진 유기물이 고갈될 때까지 계속적으로 증가하는 추세를 보였다. 이미 오염된 물을 깨끗한 물로 청소한 후에도 오염된 gasket에 남아있는 유기물질이 유출되어 파이프 내의 물이 쉽게 오염되었으며 약 10일 후에는 청소 이전의 농도로 검출되어 gasket에 의한 오염이 오래 동안 지속되는 것으로 나타났다.

The one of the major problems in the development of PEMFC was regarding to the assurance of sealing on stack. The failure on the sealing creates the problems of fuel leakage, mixing, internal combustion, damage on parts and can be a direct reason for the degrading the efficiency of fuel cell. This paper studies on the analytical approach for improving the contacting pressure distribution on the gasket at the evaluation on the sealing of fuel cell stack. So, the assembly analysis on multi layered fuel cell stack was performed. The research on the simplification of finite element model was performed for three dimensional analysis at the multi layered state. The improved contact pressure distribution was obtained through the case studies on gasket for better sealing. In addition, the number of the cell was determined for the effective analysis and the structural characteristics were evaluated based on this research.

The present manuscript deals with the prediction of the lifetime of NBR compound based rubber gaskets for use as fuel cells. The material was investigated at 120, 140 and $160^{\circ}C$, with aging times from 3 to 600 h and increasing $H_2SO_4$ concentrations of 5, 6, 7 and 10 vol%. Both material and accelerated acid-heat aging tests were carried out to predict the useful life of the NBR rubber gasket for use as a fuel cell stack. To investigate the effects of acid-heat aging on the performance characteristics of the gaskets, the properties of the NBR rubber, such as crosslink density and elongation at break, were studied. The hardness of the NBR rubber was found to decrease with decreasing acid concentration at both $120\;and\;140^{\circ}C$, but at $160^{\circ}C$, the hardness of the NBR rubber increased abruptly in a very short time at different acid concentrations. The tensile strength and elongation at break were found to decrease with increases in both the $H_2SO_4$ concentration & temperature. The observed experimental results were evaluated using the Arrhenius equation.

The present paper reports the life time prediction of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene rubber (NBR) fuel cell gasket materials as a function of operational variables like acid concentration, ageing time and temperature. Both material and accelerated acid-heat aging tests were carried out to predict the useful life of the NBR rubber gasket for use as a fuel cell stack. The acid ageing of the gasket compounds has been investigated at 120, 140 and $160^{\circ}C$, with aging times from 3 to 600 h and increasing acid ($H_2SO_4$) concentrations of 5, 6, 7 and 10 vol%. Material characteristics the gas compound such as cross-link density, tensile strength and elongation at break were studied. The hardness of the NBR rubber was found to decrease with decreasing acid concentration at both 120 and $140^{\circ}C$, but at $160^{\circ}C$ interestingly the hardness of the NBR rubber increased abruptly in a very short time at different acid concentrations. The tensile strength and elongation at break were found to decrease with increase in both the acid concentrate ion & temperature. The life time of the compounds were evaluated using the Arrhenius equation.

본 연구는 냉장고 가스켓 주위에서 시간변화에 따른 온도를 측정하여 비정상상태 온도 특성을 규명하기 위해 수행되었다. 가스켓 주위 냉장고 내외부에서의 시간변화 온도 측정을 살펴보면 냉장고의 가동에 따라 주기적인 온도 변화를 관찰할 수 있다. 측정된 온도결과를 보면 열전달 전산해석을 수행하였던 이전의 연구들이 경계조건을 적절히 사용하지 않았기 때문에 이전의 연구결과와 많은 차이를 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 적합한 열전달 전산해석 수행을 위해 실험을 통한 온도 분포를 도출하고 가스켓 주위의 냉장고 내외부의 정확한 열전달 경계조건을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하여 수행하였다.

The heat transfer performance and pressure drop characteristics of brazed-plate heat exchangers with 20 and 30 plates were experimentally measured and analyzed in this study. The mass flow rates of the heat exchangers with 20 and 30 plates were fixed at 0.6 and 0.9 kg/s for the low temperature side, respectively. The mass flow rate for the high temperature side was controlled from 0.2 kg/s to 1.2 kg/s. The inlet temperatures for the high and low temperature sides were $10^{\circ}C$ and $7^{\circ}C$, respectively. The heat transfer characteristics were not influenced by the number of plates. The pressure drop at the heat exchanger with 30 plates was slightly higher than that with 20 plates. The values calculated from the correlations based on gasket plate heat exchangers were compared with the experimental results. It was found that the predicted Nusselt numbers for the gasket plate heat exchangers were about 5% to 20% lower than the measured Nusselt numbers for the brazed plate heat exchangers. However, a pressure drop comparison showed that the calculated pressure drops at the gasket plate heat exchangers were less than half of the measured pressure drops at the brazed plate heat exchangers.

Half-beads of multi-layer-steel cylinder head gaskets take charge of sealing of lubrication oil and coolant between the cylinder head and the block. Since the head lifts off periodically due to the combustion gas pressure, both the dynamic sealing performance and the fatigue durability are essential for the gasket. A finite element model of the halfbead has been developed and verified with experimental data. The half-bead forming process was included in the model to consider the residual stress effects. The model is employed to assess the dependence of the sealing performance and the fatigue durability on the design parameters of half-bead such as the width and height of bead and the flat region length. The assessment results show that the sealing performance can be enhanced without significant deterioration of the fatigue durability in a certain range of the half-bead width. In the other cases the improvement of sealing performance is accompanied by the loss of the fatigue durability. Among three parameters, the bead width has the strongest influence.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) has been used as a transformer gasket material because the transformer gaskets should have high resistivity to oil and should not swell and deform when it contact to insulating oils. Serious cracks were observed in the gaskets being used and ozone test was performed on new, specimens. Cracks were also observed on specimens. So we have performed the following tests on the anti-oxidants containing new gaskets according in accordance with KEPCO purchase specifications; ozone resistance, oil resistance, mechanical properties before and after aging.

Many welding processes are performed to construct cryogenic system. Leak-tight for the cryogenic system is required at low temperature environment. Helium leak detection techniques are commonly used to find leak for the cryogenic system. The helium leak detection techniques for spraying, sniffing and pressurizing techniques are introduced. High vacuum is also necessary to use helium leak detector. So, types of fluid flow, effective temperature, conductance and pumping speed are introduced for vacuum pumping. Leak test procedure is shown for pipe welding, cryomodule and low temperature test. Cryogenic seals which include copper gasket, helicoflex gasket and indium are investigated.
