In General, the hydraulic system of T-50 Advanced Trainer is applied to flight control system, wheel & Brake system and fuel system for aircraft operation. The hydraulic system is operation with pressure of 3000psi. and many mechanical parts which is operated by hydraulic system has been stressed in incomplete environment same as heat and friction. for example, Oil leakage had occurred in the shutoff valve of FFP used in a certain period of time. After study, The crack progressed by fatigue due to the irregular hydraulic pressure and vibration has been identified as the reason of oil leakage. This paper presents life cycle extension plans of FFP shutoff valve by configuration improvements of shutoff valve and FFP hydraulic motor.

In this study, the performance test was carried out under various operation conditions targeting four representing types of lubricant which are mostly used in nuclear power plants, and mutually compared the characteristic and performance of lubricant. Especially, introducing the concept of the thread friction coefficient (hereinafter, TFC), which makes the friction relation between the stem nut and stem screw dimensionless. The test was performed to compare the lubricant performance for the four kinds of lubricant (Texaco, Alvania, Mobilux, MOVLL). In a test of the room temperature stem, the TFC of MOV Long Life shows the lowest value, next to Alvania EP2, Texaco EP2, and Mobilux EP0 in that order. And in a test of the high temperature stem, the TFC of Texaco EP2 shows the lowest, next to MOV Long Life, Alvania EP2, and Mobilux EP0 in that order. From the test result of the aging condition, three types of lubricant (MOV LL, Texaco EP2, Alvania EP2) show similar patterns up to 36 months, but in 60 months, the TFC of lubricant are increased rapidly.

This paper presents the results of structural identification of a safety-related valve for nuclear power plant by impact hammer test as well as shaking table tests by using broadband random wave and sine sweep excitation. The test specimen is a Y-type motor operated globe valve. The test was performed as a "support test" to validate the analytically obtained modal parameters of the valve during its seismic qualification process by analytical method. From the study results it has been found that the shaking table test generally yields higher natural frequencies and lower damping values compared with those of impact hammer test. And it has been recognized that impact hammer test for modal identification of complex structures should be applied very carefully to get reasonable results.e results.

In this study, we conducted a pilot study on the multiple spurious operations (MSO) analysis in the fire probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) of domestic nuclear power plant (NPP) to identify the degree of influence of the operator actions used in the MSO mitigation strategies. The MSO scenario of the domestic reference NPP selected for this study is refueling water tank (RWT) drain down event. It could be caused by spurious operations of the containment spray system (CSS) of the reference NPP. The RWT drain down event can be stopped by the main control room (MCR) operator actions for stopping the operation of CSS pump or closing the CSS motor operated valve if the containment spray actuation signal (CSAS) is spuriously actuated. Outside the MCR, it can be stopped by operator actions for closing the CSS manual valves or motor operated valve or stopping the operation of CSS pump. The quantification result of a fire PSA model that takes into account all recovery actions for the RWT drain down event lead to risk reduction by about 95%, compared with quantification result of fire PSA model without considering them. Among the various operator actions, the recovery action for the spurious CSAS operations and the operator action for the manual valve are identified as the most important operator actions. This study quantitatively showed the extent to which the operator actions used as MSO countermeasures have affected the fire PSA quantification results. In addition, we can see the rank of importance among the operator recovery actions in quantitative terms.

Dynamic characteristics of a flow control valve, which plays an important role in thrust and O/F control of liquid rocket engines, have been analyzed by the AMESim simulator modeling. The speed control method was proposed for the control of the flow valve equipped with a BLDC motor. The experimental results demonstrated the feasibility of systematical application as well as the performance of the speed control method. Moreover, the speed control method for BLDC motor is much simpler than the P control method in complex flow systems. With the speed control method, the control flow characteristics were evaluated according to plunger shapes. Consequently, same plunger shape proved to be more efficient in the mixture ratio control operated by two flow valves. It was also shown that the appropriate modification of plunger shapes could reduce the mixture ratio perturbation by 0.5%.

The purpose of this study is to develop the improvement method of MOV(Motor Operated Valve) operability without major modification or change of MOV which needs a great expense and manpower. We studied valve stem lubrication, stem packing thrust and actuator control switch which could give an major effect to MOV operability, and found the some consequences. First, the stem/stem-nut friction coefficient and stem factor is significantly effected by stem lubrication state. Second, the measured packing thrust value is appeared higer than the design value for tested valves and the preparation of optimal value selection criteria is needed. Finally, optimization of MOV control switch is another major factor for MOV operability and structual integrity.

This paper is to see the availability of electrical signatures as a means for evaluating the performance and monitoring mechanical anomalies of (MOVs). To estimate motor torque, two methods such as d-q frame conversion and air-gap method are suggested and estimated results are compared with measured values. The error between measured and estimated torques is within acceptable error bound with below $1\%$ under varied load. Frequency domain analysis of calculated torque has been done as well. It is shown that monitoring of peak frequency could give useful clues to detect anomalies of MOV. As results, electrical signatures at MOV motor is expected to be an available tool for estimation of motor capacity and monitoring of electrical and mechanical abnormalities.

본 논문은 원자력 발전소의 안전에 있어 매우 큰 비중을 차지하는 모터 구동밸브(Motor-operated valve : MOV)의 성능진단에 직접 센서를 장착하지 않고 전기신호만을 이용하여 성능진단의 가능성을 보이기 위한 것이다. 모터 토크를 계산하기 위한 두 가지 방법으로서 D-Q frame 변환 방법과 Air-Gap 토크 식을 제시하였고, 계산된 두 토크 값은 정확하게 일치하였다. 부하를 변동하면서 토크미터로 측정된 토크 갑과는 1%의 오차범위 내에서 일치함을 확인했다. 따라서 두 토크 식은 모터구동 밸브의 성능진단을 위한 식으로 사용해도 좋다는 결론을 얻어낼 수 있었다. 계산된 토크를 주파수 분석함으로서 부하의 변동에 따라서 슬립 및 모터속도 주파수가 변화됨을 알 수 있었다. 즉 주파수 분석을 통해 MOV의 모터 및 구동기 부분의 성능 저하 감시에 유용한 단서를 제공해 줄 것이다. 결과적으로, MOV에서 전기신호의 분석은 시스템의 전기 및 기계적인 성능 저하 감시에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Proportional solenoid valves are a modulating type that can control the displacement of valves continuously by means of electromagnetic forces proportional to the solenoid coil current. Because the solenoid-type modulating valves have the advantages of fast response and compact design over air-operated or motor-operated valves, they have been gaining acceptance in chemical and power plants to control the flow of fluids such as water, steam, and gas. This paper deals with the auto tuning of the position controller that can provide the proportional and integral gain automatically based on the dynamic system identification. The process characteristics of the solenoid valve are estimated with critical gain and critical period at a stability limit based on implemented relay feedback, and the controller parameters are determined by the classical Ziegler-Nichols design method. The auto-tuning algorithm was verified with experiments, and the effects of the operating point at which the relay control is activated as well as the relay amplitude were investigated.
