To verify the system performance of portable AE leak diagnosis system which can measure with moving conditions, AE activities such as RMS voltage level, AE signal trend, leak rate degree according to AE database, FFT spectrum were measured during operation on total 11 valves of the secondary system in nuclear power plant. AE activities were recorded and analyzed from various operating conditions including different temperature, type of valve, pressure difference, valve size and fluid. The results of this field study are utilized to select the type of sensors, the frequency band for filtering and thereby to improve the signal-to-noise ratio for diagnosis for diagnosis or monitoring of valves in operation. As the final result of application study above, portable type leak diagnosis system by AE was developed. The outcome of the study can be definitely applied as a means of the diagnosis or monitoring system for energy saving and prevention of accident for power plant valve. The purpose of this study is to verify availability of the acoustic emission in-situ monitoring method to the internal leak and operating conditions of the major valves at nuclear power plants. In this study, acoustic emission tests are performed when the pressurized temperature water and steam flowed through glove valve(main steam dump valve) and check valve(main steam outlet pump check valve) on the normal size of 12 and 18 ". The valve internal leak monitoring system for practical field was designed. The acoustic emission method was applied to the valves at the site, and the background noise was measured for the abnormal plant condition. To improve the reliability, a judgment of leak on the system was used various factors which are AE parameters, trend analysis, frequency analysis, voltage analysis and amplitude analysis of acoustic signal emitted from the valve operating condition internal leak.

General algorithm is developed for the prediction of internal flow-induced noise. This algorithm is based on the integral formula derived by using the General Green Function, Lighthill's acoustic analogy and Curl's extension of Lighthill's. Novel approach of this algorithm is that the integral formula is so arranged as to predict frequency-domain acoustic signal at any location in a duct by using unsteady flow data in space and time, which can be provided by the Computational Fluid Dynamics Techniques. This semi-analytic model is applied to the prediction of internal aerodynamic noise from a throttle valve in an automotive engine. The predicted noise levels from the throttle valve are compared with actual measurements. This illustrative computation shows that the current method penn its generalized predictions of flow noise generated by bluff bodies and turbulence in flow ducts.

In a scroll compressor it is generally accepted that a check valve is necessary to prevent reverse rotation of the scrolls. The check valve is subjected to discharge pulsations and their resultant forces. The flow phenomena around the check valve may affect the efficiency and the noise level significantly. The motivation of this study is to understand the flow phenomena and the unstable motion of the check valve on operating conditions in order to identify reasons raising noise and improve the performance of the check valve. In this study, unsteady flow simulation was performed using CFD and the pressure distribution around the check valve was obtained. This paper also shows that unstable motion of the check valve on standard operating conditions through theoretical analysis and flow visualization.

This paper deals with the noise evaluation technique of a reciprocating air-compressor and its noise reduction. The reciprocating air-compressors are widely used in the small, medium sized industrial firms, and lots of their employees are affected and irritated by their noise in the workplace. Thus, noise control actions should be taken appropriately by considering the hearing loss due to the occupational noise exposure. Lead-wrapping techniques are employed to identify the contribution of principal noise sources which are generally known as motor, belts, suction/discharge valves, moving pistons, and flow-induced noise caused by edges or discontinuities along the flow path e.g. expansions, contractions, junctions and bends etc .. As a result, main noise sources of the air-compressor can be categorized by the suction/discharge noise, valve noise, and compressed-air tank noise. Based on the investigations, mufflers are designed to reduce both the suction/discharge noise and the compressed-air tank noise. Instead of the conventional valve plate, polyethylene resin is used as a new one for the reduction of valve impact noise. In addition, attempts are made to reduce the valve noise propagation to the cylinder head and the compressor tank by using the insulation casings. As a result of the countermeasure plans, it can be achieved that the noise reduction of the air-compress is up to 10dB.

본 논문에서는 고압가스 배관의 밸브 유동소음을 평가할 수 있는 수치적 방법론을 제시하고 밸브 유동소음 저감을 위한 다공판의 영향을 정량적으로 분석하였다.먼저, 고정확도의 비정상 압축성 대와류모사 기법을 이용하여 고압가스 배관의 밸브 유동과 이로 인한 유동소음을 예측하였다. 예측한 벽면 압력 스펙트럼을 측정값과의 비교를 통하여 수치해석결과의 유효성을 검증하였다. 다음으로 배관내에서 평균 유동장과 중첩되어 전파해가는 음향장의 음향파워를 평가할 수 있는 지표를 기반으로 배관내 밸브 유동에 의하여 하류방향으로 전파하는 음향파워를 분석하였다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 밸브 유동 소음 저감을 위해, 다공평판을 설계하여 밸브 후류에 설치하고 동일한 수치해석 방법을 통해 배관 하류방향으로 전파하는 음향파워를 예측하였다. 예측 결과를 기존 배관 결과와 비교하여 음향파워가 9.5 dB 감소함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서 제시한 수치방법론은 고압가스 배관의 설계단계에서 뿐만 아니라 기존 시스템에서 발생하는 밸브 유동 소음을 효율적으로 저감할 수 있는 방법 개발에도 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

차량용 터보차져는 디젤엔진뿐만이 아니라 가솔린 엔진에서도 장착이 보편화 되었다. 터보차져는 엔진의 효율과 출력을 효과적으로 증가시키는데 매우 훌륭한 장치이기는 하나, 여러 가지의 소음 문제를 유발시키기도 한다. 이들 소음은 회전축의 거동에 의하여 유발되는 구조 전달 소음과 공기 유동에 의하여 유도되는 공력 소음으로 구분된다. 이와 더불어 웨이스트게이트 밸브를 전자적으로 제어하는 액츄에이터계 거동으로부터 발생되는 기계적 소음이 있는데, 이것이 밸브 떨림음이다. 이 소음은 밸브가 열려 있을 때에만 발생하는데, 이는 연결 구조물 사이의 간극이 외력에 의하여 강제 접촉을 유지하지 않고 밸브부터 액츄에이터 사이에 연결되어 있는 각 연결 구조물이 서로 자유단으로 접촉하고 있기 때문이다. 각 자유단 접촉점에서는 배기가스 맥동파에 의하여 충격 진동이 발생하고 이것이 터빈하우징으로 전달되어 밸브 떨림음이 발생하는 것이다. 그러나, 액츄에이터의 기계적 구동력에 의하여 액츄에이터의 모든 연결 구조물이 강제접촉을 유지하고 있는 기계식 액츄에이터에서는 발생하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 불평형 회전축을 갖는 소형 진동 모터를 이용하여 전자식 액츄에이터에서 발생하는 밸브 떨림음 평가를 위한 장치를 고안하였으며, 이 장치를 이용하여 밸브 떨림음의 저감효과를 평가하였다. 소음 저감 방법으로는 구조물간 접촉 간극 축소 또는 웨이브 와셔 삽입, 밸브레버와 터빈하우징 사이에 조립되는 부싱의 헐거움 끼움이 효과적임을 확인하였다.

The cause and the elimination method for the chattering phenomena were investigated in a check valve attached to the exit of an auxiliary cooling water pump in a Korean nuclear powerplant. From the site experiment and the numerical calculation, the incident angle of the disk was so small that it was not able to produce the sufficient lifting force to overcome the gravitational component of the disk weight. Moreover, it turned out that the installation position was not symmetric for the secondary vortical flow generated inside the elbow so that the flow structure had strongly unstable flow characteristics. From this study, the tapping noise and the chattering phenomena were eliminated exactly by changing the incidence angle of the valve disk and the installation position of the calve body.

The developed control valves, installed on the hot water distribution manifolds for the floor heating system, consist of the balancing valves and the shut-off valves. The balancing valve was designed to improve the flow control performance and to reduce the noise emitted from the valve by modification of the general V port. The port of the shut-off valve was designed with two ceramic plates, working by rotating upper plate, to improve the duration and to reduce the noise. For the evaluation of the new valves, the flow rate was measured and noise level test was carried out. The test results showed that the error of the flow rate accuracy test for the flow balance of each manifold circuit was less than ${\pm}3%$ and the noise level was less than 35 dB(A).

Damping characteristics of ER dampers and flow rates inside ER valve with two different valve types were analyzed and compared with test results. Fluid flow inside ER valves was modeled by Bingham plastic model and Hagen-Poiseulli flow, while the equations of motion of total ER damper system were modeled by flow and hydraulic force balance. A general straight valve case was compared with a bended valve case which is newly tested for a possible improvement of ER damping force. As expected, the bended ER valve generates higher damping force and lower flow rates than the conventional straight ER valve due to additional flow restriction at the bended section. Analytical models of ER valve and ER damper generally predict reasonable performance characteristics of tested results. Therefore, developed analysis can be used for designing new ER dampers and simulation of ER semi-active suspension system as well.
