The heavy ion accelerator that will be built in Daejeon, Korea utilizes superconducting cavities operating in 2 K. The cavities are QWR (quarter wave resonator), HWR (half wave resonator), SSR1 (sing spoke resonator1) and SSR2. The main role of the cryomodule is supplying thermal insulation for cryogenic operation of the cavities and maintaining cavities' alignment. Thermal and structural consideration such as thermal load by heat leak and heat generation, cryogenic fluid management, thermal contraction, and so on. This paper describes detailed design considerations and current results have being done including thermal load estimation, cryogenic flow piping, pressure relief system, and so on.

Thermoacoustic oscillations (TAOs) could be often observed in liquid helium cryogenic system especially in half-open tubes. These tubes have closed warm end (300K) and open cold end (usually 4.4K). This phenomenon significantly induces additional heat load to cryogenic system and other undesirable effects. This work focuses on using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method to study TAOs in liquid helium. The calculated physical model, numerical scheme and algorithm, and wall boundary conditions were introduced. The simulation results of onset process of thermoacoustic oscillations were presented and analyzed. In addition, other important characteristics including phase relation and frequency were studied. Moreover, comparisons between experiments and the CFD simulations were made, which demonstrated thevalidity of CFD simulation. CFD simulation can give us a better understanding of onset mechanism of TAOs and nonlinear characteristics in liquid helium cryogenic system.

Thermoacoustic oscillations (TAOs) are spontaneous pressure oscillations frequently seen in hydrogen or helium cryogenic systems. Half-open tubes connected to cryogenic fluid with a closed room temperature end have a high potential for oscillation generation. Thermoacoustic oscillations will result in significant pressure fluctuations and additional heat load, endangering the security and stability of the cryogenic system. The goal of this paper is to investigate TAOs in superfluid helium using both theoretical and experimental methods. Five half-open tubes with varied typical inner diameters inserted into superfluid helium were installed in a test cryostat. The onset characteristics of thermoacoustic oscillations were presented and studied. The effect of temperature profile was discussed. Finally, a simple eliminating method was introduced.

FLNG 혹은 FSRU와 같이 대량의 LNG를 처리하는 공정에서의 LNG 누출 사고 시, 강재의 급격한 온도변화는 구조물의 취성파괴를 야기시킬 가능성이 있다. 본 논문에서는 극저온 유출 실험을 통해 극저온 유체가 강판에 형성되는 원리 및 과정을 알아보고, 노즐로부터의 거리 및 노출시간에 따른 강판의 온도변화의 상관관계를 분석하고자 한다. 극저온 유체는 LN2(비점 -192℃) 및 LNG(비점 -162℃) 두 가지 종류를 사용하였으며, 유출량은 LN2의 경우 1.6L/min 및 LNG 1.5L/min로 강판의 상부에서 분사하였다. 강재는 DH계열 이용하였으며, 총 10 지점에서 온도를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 극저온 유출 초기 강재표면에서 Leidenfrost 효과가 관찰 되었으며, 극저온 유체가 흐르는 경로 및 유체의 증발열에 차이에 따라 강재의 온도분포가 다르게 나타나는 것을 발견하였다.

극저온 가압제를 사용하는 가압시스템에서 가압제의 공급을 차단하기 위하여 많이 사용되고 있는 밸브로는 공압구동밸브나 솔레노이드밸브, 파이로밸브 등이 있다. 공압구동밸브와 솔레노이드밸브는 파이로밸브에 비하여 구조가 복잡하고 무게가 무거운 단점이 있어, 본 연구에서는 극저온 및 고압에 적용이 가능하고 구조가 비교적 간단하고 무게가 가벼운 극저온 헬륨가스용 파이로밸브를 개발하여 내압 및 기밀시험과 진동시험, 극저온 공급시험을 수행하였다.

A cryogenic stirling cooler is currently under development at Korea Institute of Industrial Technology(KITECH). Cryocooler has many kinds of types. The stirling cooler is the most appropriate one for under 80K with the trait of long life cycle and small size. The stirling cooler uses helium as a working fluid. Helium is pressurized by the linear compressor which is driver by linear motor. In this paper, the change of pressure and volume is studied by the isothermal analysis method. It is necessary to investigate the optimized pressure to meets the highest COP. The compressor's piston and expender's displacer interact according to the working fluid's pressure level and the phase difference. This paper presents the relation between the initial pressure and the work of cryocooler. By that results, we can predict the performance of linear compressor.

Foil gas bearing is a noncontact bearing operated by coupled interaction between hydrodynamic pressure of viscous fluid and elastic deformation of foil structure. It has valuable advantages, such as low power loss, long life, oilless environment and low vibration, over conventional bearings for the high speed applications. A high speed BLDC motor adopting the foil bearing has been developed. It is designed to have 38㎾ power at 100,000 RPM for a cryogenic cooler whose operating fluid is neon. In this paper, structural development details especially for the foil gas bearing and rotordynamics are presented.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the freezing phenomena in printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) for cryogenic liquid hydrogen vaporizer. Local freezing phenomena in hot channels should be avoided in designing PCHE for cryogenic liquid hydrogen vaporizer. Hence, the flow and thermal characteristics of PCHE is experimentally investigated to figure out the conditions under when freezing occurs. To conduct lab-scale PCHE experiment, liquid nitrogen is used as a working fluid in cold channels instead of using liquid hydrogen. Glycol water is used as a working fluid in hot channels. Based on the experimental data, ratio between mass flow rates of cold channels and that of hot channels is proposed as contour map to avoid the freezing phenomena in PCHE.
