Butterfly valves are commonly used as control valves in applications where the pressure drops required of the valves relatively low. As the shutoff valve (on/off service) or throttling valves (for flow or pressure control), the higher order and the better precision of butterfly valves are required. The it's more and more essential to know the flow characteristic around the valve. Due to the fast progress of the flow visualization and numerical technique, it becomes possible to observe the flows around a valve and to estimate the performance of a valve. Researching these results did not gave only access to understand the process of the valve flows at different valve opening angles, but also was made to determine the accuracy of the employed method. Furthermore, the results of the three-dimensional analysis can be used in the design of butterfly valve in the industry.

To improve the hydraulic control performance of ABS, it is necessary to establish an efficient control algorithm. And also it is necessary to ova]Hate a hydraulic modulator with solenoid valve quantitatively. In this paper, FEM and permeance method are used to analyze dynamic characteristics of outlet valve. In return, mathmatical modeling of a hydraulic modulator and operating pressure is presented, and the model parameters of an outlet valve are moving plunger, spring constant and orifice diameter. This study shows the way to improve the dynamic characteristic of an ABS outlet valve heavily depending on operating pressure. It is recommended that operating pressure should be justified at the first step toward the design to get the optimal design of an outlet valve.

The valve is the key part which governs the efficiency, noise and reliability of the compressor, so the development of analytical model about valve performance is necessary. As the valve leed is opened and closed by pressure pulsation, the flow characteristic of the refrigerant passing the valve is very important. In the present study, a circular disk with inclination is assumed to be the valve reed of a reciprocating compressor and numerical analysis of three dimensional velocity fields are perfomed for the radial flow through the valve model. The effective flow and force area which are required to predict the efficiency of the valve are measured and compared with the numerical analysis in this research.

PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry)was used to visualize the interaction of reed valve of the reciprocating compressor. The valve is the key part which governs the efficiency, noise and reliability of the compressor, so the development of analytical model about valve performance is necessary. As the valve reed is opened and closed by pressure pulsation, the flow characteristic of the refrigerant passing the valve is very important. In the present study, a circular disk with inclination is assumed to be the valve reed of a reciprocating compressor, The mean velocity shows the vortical characteristic of this flow. It is found that the back flow is affected by the height of reed valve of reciprocating compressor.

For the purpose of optimal control of anti-lock brake systems, precise dynamic characteristics analysis of hydraulic modulator, especially solenoid valve is necessary. However, most of researches so far have dealt with dynamic characteristic analysis of valve itself, and the results have been restrictively applied to the actual ABS modulator, where hydraulic pressure is acting. In this study, mathmatical modeling and experimental analysis were peformed in order to evaluate the valve dynamic characteristics when the hydraulic pressure is applied. High pressure on the master cylinder that affects on the valve dynamic characteristics have been analyzed quantitatively, and performance improvement methods have been suggested through parameter study. Consequently, results of solenoid valve dynamic characteristics analysis derived in the study can be utilized as criteria for the optimal control of anti-lock brake systems.

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.

In this paper, pneumatic valve which consists of valve body, valve controller, nozzle and a multi-bender PZT actuator was suggested and fabricated. The fabricated pneumatic valve was experimented for performance evaluation. From the experimental results, we know that the flow rate of the suggested valve is 23 lpm at the pressure difference of 1bar and the maximum flow rate is 30 lpm at the pressure difference of 4 bar. The flow rates after endurance test of 9.8 million were 22.57 lpm and 28.62 lpm at the pressure difference of 1bar and 4bar, respectably. Finally, it was verified that the B10 life of the suggested pneumatic valve is over 50 million.

A counter balance valve is used as one part of hydraulic motor brake system. The function of this valve is to protect over-run or free falling of inertia load. But occasionally the brake system with counter balance valve makes some undesirable problems such as pressure surges or vibrations. In this study, for the purpose of easy estimation about dynamic chrcteristics of hydraulic system including counter balance valve, precise formulation describing fluid dynamics and valve dynamics under various boundary conditions were made. dynamic caracteristics were analysed by numerical intergration using Runge-Kutta method, because the equations in this circuit with counter balance valve contain various nonlinear terms. So the analyzing method developed in this study enabled very easy estimating the relation between the performance of counter balance valve and various physical parameters related to the valve.

In this study, a Coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) and Finite Element Analysis(FEA) method are used to predict and evaluate the performance of an automotive shock absorber. Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved by the SIMPLE method and the RNG $k-\varepsilon$ is used to model turbulence. CFD analysis is carried out for different intake valve deflections and piston velocities. The force exerted on the valve in each valve deflection is obtained. The valve deflection-force relationship is investigated by the FEA method. The force exerted on the valve in each piston velocity is obtained with a combination of CFD and FEA results. Numerical results are compared with the experimental data and have shown agreement. Dependence of valve deflection as a function of piston velocity is investigated. Effects of hydraulic oil temperature change on valve behavior are also studied.

EPPR (Electro-hydraulic Proportional Pressure Reducing) valves are pressure control valves. In this study, an independent metering valve (IMV), which is a combination of a spool valve opened and closed with the help of an EPPR valve, was discussed. The overall performance of the valve (IMV) was obtained by the respective modeling and simulation of the system. The valve investigated in this study is to be used for independent metering of hydraulic excavator actuator e.g. boom, arm, bucket etc. To design the model, continuity equations and force balance equations were used. The set of differential equations were then simulated in Simulink using ODE45 option in the configuration toolbox. The valve has to be able to control the flow rate going in and out of the cylinder separately, which is why the particular configuration was needed and selected.
