In Gerotor pump, the pressure pulsations which occur due to the pump geometry result in vibration and noise of pump elements as well as cavitation in hydraulic system when the chambers of gerotor enter the delivery port and leave the suction port. Therefore it is important to study on the pressure pulsations before design and analysis of characteristics in Gerotor pump. In this paper, to reduce the unnecessary pressure pulsations, the port plate of Gerotor pump is designed based on the notch of the vane pumps and the relief grove of the piston pumps. The theoretical analysis of the pressure pulsations is performed in consideration of design parameters of the port plate which include each port positions and groove width and operating conditions which include rotational velocity and delivery pressure.

In this paper, an expansion-resonator type pulsation attenuator is proposed to absorb and attenuate flow an pressure ripple with high frequencies generated from hydraulic control systems. The basic principle of a pulsation attenuator proposed here is applied to propagation, reflection, absorption of pressure waves at the cross section of discontinuity and resonance in the pipeline. It has advantage of the compact size and high degree fo freedom for installation in hydraulic systems. The design scheme based on distributed parameter pipeline system with dissipative viscous compressible model is developed. To investigate the reduction of flow and pressure ripple with high frequencies produced by swash plate type axial piston pump, two kinds of attenuators are manufactured. It is experimently confirmed that the spectral intensity of flow and pressure ripple with high frequencies from the pump are reduced up to about 20$^{\circ}$~30dB by using attenuators proposed here. The calculated results were in good agreement with the measured values. From there sults of this study, it is shown that an expansion-resonator type pulsation attenuator is effective in a wide frequency ranges to attenuate the flow and pressure ripple from hydraulic components.

This application study of a swash-plate type axial piston pump was concerned about the lubrication characteristics between cylinder barrel and valve plate which are the main rotating body and its opposite sliding part respectively. A computer simulation was implemented to assess bearing and sealing functions of the fluid film between cylinder barrel and valve plate. A numerical algorithm was developed to facilitate simultaneous calculations of dynamic cylinder pressure, 3 degree-of-freedom barrel motions considering inertia effect, and fluid film pressure assuming full fluid film lubrication regime. Central clearance, tilt angle, and azimuth angle of the rotating body were calculated for each time step. Surface waviness was found to be an influential factor due to the small fluid film thickness which can appear in flat land bearings. Five surface lays which can form on the lubrication surface in accordance with machining process were defined and analyzed using the simulation tool. Oil leakage flow and frictional torque in the fluid film between cylinder barrel and valve plate were also calculated to discuss in the viewpoint of energy loss. The simulation results showed that in actual sliding conditions proper surface non-flatness can make a positive effect on the energy efficiency and reliability of the thrust bearing.

The solar powered water pump is very ideal equipment because solar power is more intensive when the water is more needed in summer and it is very helpful in the rural area, in which electrical power is not available. The average solar radiation power is $3.488\;kWh/(m^2{\cdot}day)$ in Korea. In this study, the experimental system of the water pump driven by the radiation energy were designed, assembled, tested and analyzed fur realizing the solar powered water pump. Energy conversion ken radiation energy to mechanical energy by using n-pentane as operating material was done and the water pumping cycles were able to be continued. The quantity of the water pumped per cycle ranged from 2 L to 10 L depending on the level of the valve open area far the vapour supply. The average quantity was about 4,366 cc. The thermal efficiency was about $0.018\%$. The pressure level of the n-pentane vapour in flash tank was about $110\~150\;kPa$ and that in the water tank was $93\~130\;kPa$. The pressure in the condenser during cycles was maintained as about 70 kPa. The condensation of the n-pentane vapour in the water tank was increased with the cycles even though the internal and external insulation were done. Air tank performance was better with increasing of the water piston displacement and the water could be pumped with the water piston displacement becoming higher than 6,500 cc.

Injection molded thermoplastic parts may need to be coated to facilitate paint adhesion, or to satisfy other surface property requirements, such as appearance, durability, and weather resistance. In this paper, a two-component polyurethane metering system was developed for the simultaneous injection and surface coating of a plastic substrate. The system was composed of storage tanks, feed pumps, axial piston pumps, mixing head. The tank was designed to be double-jacket structured and fabricated for polyol and isocyanate, respectively. A temperature chamber was used to maintain the material temperature to be $80^{\circ}C$ during flowing from storage tank to mixing head. Inside the chamber, feed pump, low pressure filter, high pressure pump, high pressure filter, pressure sensor, flow meter were installed. A mixing head of L-type was used for homogeneous mixing of polyol and isocyanate. Inside the mixing head, a cartridge heater and a temperature sensor were installed to control the temperature of the materials. The flow rate of axial-piston pump was controlled by using closed-loop feedback control algorithm. The input flow-rates were compared with the measured values. The output error was 6.7% for open-loop control, whereas the error was below 2.2% for closed-loop control. In addition, the pressure generated through mixing-head nozzle increased with increasing flow rate. It was found that the pressure drop between metering pump and mixing-head nozzle was almost 10 bar.

Piston assemblies, which are key components of hydraulic high pressure pumps & motors, are major failure products operating at high pressure and high speed, and the main failure mode is wearout of the shoe surface. To predict the actual life of piston assemblies. we require to find out the most sensitive parameters and establish related empirical formula. In this study, we analyzed the life of piston and shoe assemblies in accordance with variation of speed, pressure, and temperature to reduce the life test time, then analyzed the result of combined accelerated life test which is applied by high speed, speed pressure, and high temperature simultaneously, and finally developed combined accelerated life test model.

본 연구에서는 가변용량형 사판식 액시얼 피스톤 펌프의 가변용량 시스템에 있어서 actuator piston의 가공정도와 실린더사이의 간극의 변화에 따른 응답성 및 누설용량에 끼치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 가변용량형 사판식 액시얼 피스톤 펌프는 사판의 각도를 조절함으로써 유량을 조절하게 된다. 사판의 각도조절은 actuator piston에 의해 행해지며, 가변용량부의 어느 설정압력에 도달하면, 이 actuator piston이 사판을 밀어 사판의 각도를 변화 시키게 된다. 지배방정식으로는 spool과 사판의 운동방정식과 각 chamber의 누설 유량이 있다. 이들 방정식을 \ulcorner으로써 각 부분의 운동을 해석할 수 있게 된다. 여기에서 해석이 어려운 부분은 각 계수들의 결정이며 simulation을 할 때는 이로한 계수들을 이론적으로 결정을 하게 되고, 실험을 통해 검증하도록 한다. 즉, 각 운동뷰의 감쇠계수와 각 오리피스를 통한 유량계수, 그리고 감쇠계수 등은 실험을 통해 검토한다. 실험을 통한 측정에서는 각 chamber의 압력은 각 chamber에 연결된 압력센서 3개에 의해 행해지며, 사판의 각도는 angle 센서에 의해 측정하게 된다. 그리고 actuator piston과 블럭 사이의 간극을 조절하여 누설계수를 변화시키며, 그 영향을 살펴보았다.
