The loss coefficient of the butterfly valve which allows partial opening of the valve at closed position and is applicable to the small-sized pipe system with the diameter of 1 inch was measured for the variation of the valve disk blockage ratio. Two different types of the valve disk configuration to adjust the blockage ratio were considered. One was the solid type valve disk of which the diameter was changed into the smaller size rather than the pipe diameter, and the other was the perforate type valve disk on which some holes were perforated. The results from two types of valve disk were compared to identify their characteristics in the loss coefficient distributions. The loss coefficient and the controllable angle of the valve disk were decreased exponentially with the decrease of the blockage ratio. In addition, the perforate valve disk had the effect on the higher loss coefficient rather than the solid type valve disk.

수계소화시스템 버터플라이 밸브의 성능해석에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 버터플라이 밸브의 성능해석으로는 토크특성, 압력손실과 캐비테이션을 고찰하였다. 밸브의 토크특성은 토크 이론식에 밸브 디스크의 개도각이 보정되었고, 보정식이 추가되었다. 밸브의 열림각에 대한 압력손실계수는 Carnot 방정식을 응용하여 수식화하였다. 버터플라이 밸브의 토크특성, 압력손실과 캐비테이션은 디스크의 두께와 직경 비에 대해 해석하였다. 캐비테이션은 밸브의 압력손실계수로부터 해석하였다. 압력손실과 캐비테이션 해석은 밸브의 열림각에 대한 두께 비의 변화에 따라 수행하였다. 이들 해석 데이터는 버터플라이 밸브를 개발하는데 필요한 엔지니어링 데이터로 활용하고자 한다.

The butterfly valve is widely used in the industrial field as an on-off or a flow control valve. When the butterfly valve is used as a flow control valve. cavitation sometimes occurs in the range of high flow rate because of the small valve opening. Therefore. the pressure loss and the cavitation characteristics are investigated by use of a commercial CFD code. The results show that the possibility of cavitation occurrence in the cryogenic butterfly valve is very high in the case of valve opening angle below 10 degree and incident velocity over 6m/s. By increasing the inlet velocity at 10 degree of valve opening angle. the value of loss coefficient increased. However. by increasing the inlet velocity at 50 degree of valve opening angle. the value of loss coefficient decreased.

버터플라이 밸브의 압력손실과 캐비테이션에 대한 유동특성 연구를 수행하였다. 밸브의 열림각에 대한 압력손실계수는 Carnot 방정식을 응용하여 수식화하였다. 캐비테이션(캐비테이션의 발단, 슈퍼 캐비테이션, 캐비테이션 손상, 초킹 캐비테이션과 같은)은 밸브의 압력손실계수로부터 예측되었다. 압력손실과 캐비테이션 예측은 밸브의 열림각에 대한 두께 비의 변화에 따라 수행하였다. 예측 데이터는 버터플라이 밸브를 개발하는데 필요한 엔지니어링 데이터로 활용하고자 한다.

밸브 디스크 직경이 25.4 mm 인 소형 버터플라이밸브의 유동특성이 다양한 밸브 닫힘각에 대해 실험적으로 연구되었다. 밸브 디스크각이 작은 경우 유량조절특성을 향상시키기 위해 주어지는 밸브 닫힘각을 0$^{\circ}$, 5$^{\circ}$, 10$^{\circ}$, 20$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$로 변화시켜 밸브 디스크각에 따른 손실계수를 측정하였다. 또한 밸브선단 형상이 손실계수 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 밸브 닫힘각이 증가함에 따라 최대손실계수는 감소하며, 밸브 닫힘각 0$^{\circ}$~5$^{\circ}$에서 가장 큰 감소를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 밸브 디스크 형상에 따른 손실계수는 밸브 닫힘각이 0$^{\circ}$인 경우 날카로운 모서리를 갖는 디스크가 더 큰 손실계수를 나타낸 반면, 닫힘각 10$^{\circ}$의 경우 날카로운 모서리를 갖는 디스크의 경우가 더 낮은 손실계수를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

Linear curve or hyperbolic curve interpolation equations have been used to represent loss coefficient of butterfly valve according to a certain opening(for example, each 10 degree up to 90 degree) so far, and these equations are not precise and inconvenient to use with computer programming. Method of representing loss coefficient of butterfly valve using experiment data with several equations is presented and It is verified that log equation is most precise and convenient to use with computer programming in this research.

Experimental investigations on the flow characteristics of downstream region of a butterfly valve, which is used in SI engine, have been conducted according to Reynolds number and valve angle. Measurement programs of the flowfield using x-type of hotwire anemometry include the mean and fluctuating velocity, turbulnet intensity, shear stress, power spectrum and pressure loss coefficient. Experimental results show that flow characteristics and independent of relatively high Reynolds number; 60,000 and 80,000. It is also seen that streamwise mean velocities have relatively large velocity gradient around the butterfly valve with increasing the valve opening angle and this trend appears even in the far downstream region. The distributions of turbulent intensity and shear stress show irregular behavior regardless of the valve opening angle and those of the case of the valve opening angle of 45°are the largest. The pressure loss coefficient of the body surface of the throttle valve increases mildly with the increase of Reynolds number and increases rapidly with the reduction of the valve opening angle.

This study aims to determine the flow characteristics of a one-inch small ball valve and glove valve used in industrial plants. The flow was changed through an experimental equipment, and the internal flow characteristics of the valves were compared. Considering the pressure drop, the decrease in the slope of the ball valve based on the degree of the valve opening was relatively greater than that of the glove valve; further, the slope of the glove valve was gentle while the pressure drop was high. The flow velocity of the ball valve remains consistent after the valve was opened by 70%, whereas the flow velocity of the glove valve constantly increased. The valve loss factor of the ball valve was relatively low compared with that of the glove valve. When the valve was opened by 20%, which is the beginning stage of the valve opening, the valve loss factor of the ball valve was high and gradually became low. This is a structural problem of the ball valve, and the loss factor is significant because the flow path installed at the ball valve has a considerably small area. However, the overall loss factor of glove valve is high because it has a complicated structure of flow path.

The behaviors of the mixture at the downstream of throttle valve in a TBI type gasoline engine plays a greater role in design of intake system. A good mixture has been influencing directly not only on the engine power but also on the pollutant emission. The mixture flow in an intake manifold is very complex, and the flow characteristics are varied with the valve type, valve angle, inlet air flow rate, and the other flow factors. Three kinds of valve are chosen in this study, and the informations of the mixture flow are observed experimentally using a PIV apparatus. Perforate valve has a smaller recirculation zone than the case of solid valve with a lower valve loss coefficient, and iti is verified that the perforated valve is also suitable to control the flow rate in a mixture flow system.

This paper deals with the flow characteristics of a reed valve analyzed using computational dynamics(CFD) for optimal design. The seat sizes of the valve are modeled asØ6[mm] and Ø8[mm] to compare the flow characteristics. The inlet boundary condition is entered at 10[kPa], 15[kPa], 20[kPa], and 30[kPa] and the outlet boundary condition is set to the atmospheric pressure. The flow coefficient(C) and pressure loss coefficient(K) are calculated from the results of flow analysis. From the analysis results, it was confirmed that the flow coefficient of a reed valve having a seat size of Ø6[mm] is greater than that having a seat size of Ø8[mm], and the coefficient of pressure loss of a valve with a seat size of Ø6[mm] is lower than the Ø8[mm] size valve.
