ABSTRACT |
Gas valve for domestic use is used for flow control of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) of which pressure is about $200;mmH_{2}O(fallingdotseq0.0196;[bar])$. Currently, two kinds of valves such as rotary type and button type are widely used in many applications. But, these valves have some problems that they are not controllable and reliable. Piezo actuation combined with modem microelectronics provides a reliable, quiet, low energy, infinitely adjustable gas valve. In this paper, gas valve using piezo actuator which are bimorph and a circle type was studied. Also, Prototype for gas valve was manufactured and characteristics of the prototype gas valve were analyzed. |
