In the steam system, a stream trap valve discharges a condensate and a non-condensable gas. It also prevents stream from being leaked. The free float stream trap valve is a mechanical type of stream trap. The valve is opened when a hallow ball is floated due to the density of the condensate through the condensate flows into the valve. On the other hand, when the flow of the condensate is completed, the valve is closed as the float subsides due to the weight of the structure and the stream is blocked. In addition, the bimetal lifts the hallow ball, which discharges the non-condensable gas. In this study, the performance of the properties of the free float stream trap valve, the method of support for three points, and the orifice design are researched. Moreover, the condensate discharge capacity of the free float stream trap valve is calculated from the experiment.

The typical hydraulic system of hoist is composed of a hydraulic supply unit, a directional control valve, two pilot operated check valves, two flow control valves. The capacity coefficients of flow control valves should be adjusted for the hoist to operate at moderate speed and minimize the hydraulic energy loss. However, it is difficult to adjust the four capacity coefficients of flow control valves by trial and error for optimal operation. The steady state model of the hoist hydraulic system is derived and the optimal capacity coefficients of flow control valves are obtained using the complex method that is one kind of constrained direct search method.

This paper focused on the dynamic behavior of camshaft in a direct acting type valve train system. To investigate camshaft behavior, transient vibration analysis is performed by using the transfer matrix method. The camshaft is treated as lumped mass system supported by spring and damper. Front the presented analytical model, we could predict dynamic behavior of camshaft, shaft locus within bearing and bearing load. The presented mode and results will be very helpful to design the optimal camshaft and valve train system.

An automobile engine has the Positive Crankcase Ventilation system (PCV system) for preventing air pollution as the environmental problem is important In this system, a PCV valve is the most important component to control the flow rate of Blowby gas which is generated by various engine powers. But, in the working place, the design of a PCV valve is very difficult because of interaction between fluid and solid motions. In this study, we investigated fluid flow characteristics using re-meshing method of a CFD technique to simulate spool behavior. As the results, a spool is periodically oscillated with time and is largely oscillated in proportion to the differential pressure between inlet and outlet. And, although the velocity at the orifice increases with the differential pressure, the flow rate of the outlet decreases. This research may give PCV designers visual flow information to help them

The hydraulic pressure system can deliver strong power and control is easy so that it have been applied to the element technique of an each industrial field. Apply range is the actual circumstances to be more widening according to the automation plant and trend of the manufacture facilities. The hydraulic pressure system have been used since early times and it was universalized considerable in the industrialized country. Utilized to an automation device instrument wide at an each industrial spot and contributed the air space development which contribution make great strides for robotics and airospace departments. Our circuit design technology for the device structure are weak and in fact domestic is depending on the income though importance of the hydraulic pressure system.

Air-operated valve is one of principal valves that are using to control fluid flow. A period diagnosis for safety of power plants is necessary. But there are many difficulties such as economic loss caused by intone of high cost devices and a matter hard to deal with users. In this study we developed the diagnosis system that usersofpower plants are easy to handle. The diagnosis system is composed of database module, reliability analysis module, design safety nodule and diagnosis test and evaluation module.

This paper presents the design of a BLDC motor driver applicable to various valve control systems using smart devices. BLDC motors are relatively small in size and have better performance than other motors. They help in reducing maintenance cost, installation costs and power consumption in plant facilities. The proposed driver is specially designed for BLDC motors using Smart Communication Platform. It adds smart features in the valve control system using BLDC motors such as multi-management, control, networking and monitoring in real time with the help of smart devices.

A butterfly throttle valve has been used to control the brake power of an SI engine by controlling the mass flow-rate of intake air in the induction system. However, the valve has a serious effect on the volumetric efficiency of the engine due to the pressure resistance in the induction system. In this study, a new intake air controlling valve named "Variable Geometry Throttle Valve(VGTV)" is proposed to minimize the pressure resistance in the intake system of an SI engine. The design concept of VGTV is on the application of a venturi nozzle in the air flow path. Instead of change of the butterfly valve angle in the airflow field, the throat width of the VGTV valve is varied with the operating condition of an SI engine. In this numerical study, CFD(computational fluid dynamics) simulation technique was incorporated to have an aerodynamics performance analysis of the two air flow controlling systems; butterfly valve and VGTV and compared the results to know which system has lower pressure resistance in the air intake system. From the result, it was found that VGTV has lower pressure resistance than the butterfly valve. Especially VGTV is effective on the low and medium load operating condition of an SI engine. The averaged pressure resistance of VGTV is about 49.0% lower than the value of the conventional butterfly throttle valve.

In this paper, we built a three-dimensional model by applying reverse engineering techniques on targeting the intake port of 2900cc class diesel engine before that three-dimensional design technique is applied. The performance of the intake port is predicted and analysed using the computational flow analysis. Flow Coefficient and Swirl Ratio have been analyzed for two intake port models. One is the intake port for the diesel engine with plunger-type fuel system, and the other is for the diesel engine with CRDI fuel system. Computational result shows that the Flow Coefficient of the intake port with CRDI fuel system is increased upto 10 percentage compared with that with plunger-type. Also, the intake port with plunger-type has high Swirl Ratio at high valve lift, and the intake port with CRDI fuel system has high Swirl Ratio at relatively low valve lift. It is believed that because of high performance of the fuel injector, the intake port with CRDI fuel system is designed for more air amount and not much swirl flow at high valve lift. However, high swirl flow is required at low valve lift for initial fuel and air mixing. The result of this study may be useful for the re-manufacturing industry of automotive parts.
