파이프 라인에서의 유출을 진단하기 위하여 모델에 기초한 방법을 개발하였다. 파이프 라인에서 액체가 이송되는 경우에 대한 일반적인 모델에 기초하여 유출이 발생하는 경우 이를 판단하고, 그 위치를 찾아내는 방법을 구성하였다. 길이 97.6m, 내경 3/8"의 파이프 라인에서 물을 이송하여 실험을 수행한 결과, 약 3%이상의 유출이 발생할 경우 유출 여부를 감지할 수 있었으며 유출량에 따라 최대 3% 이내의 정밀도로 유출 위치를 진단해 낼 수 있었다.
A leakage detection method based on a physical model of a pipeline system is proposed. Based on fundamental balance equations for liquid transporation in a pipeline, the method was constructed to diag-nose the leak point as well as to detect the leakage. The proposed method was evaluated in a water transpor-ting pipeline system of which the length is 97.6m and inner diameter is 3/8", respectively. As a result, the method could discriminate the leakage whenever the leaking rate is more than 3% of the total flowrate and localize the leaking point within 3% of accuracy depend on the leaking rate.
