Currently, the cutting oil supply device is not equipped to cool the cutting oil. Therefore, additional cooling device should be connected to cool the cutting oil. This has the disadvantage of increasing the size of the device and reducing its cooling capability. To overcome these shortcomings, cooling coils are applied to the outside of the cutting oil filtering device to develop a heat exchanger filter for simultaneous coolant filtering and cooling to improve the compactness of the cutting oil supply device and cooling capability of the cutting oil. For the development of heat exchanger filter, flow and heat transfer analysis were performed. Due to the small heat transfer area of 10 cooling coils, less heat exchange occurred. In the 20 cooling coils, the coolant cooling coils prevented smooth flow of the cooling oil in the heat exchanger filter. The cooling efficiency of the 15 cooling coils were best, and the cooling temperature decreased non-linearly as the supply flow rate of the cutting oil increased.

As the demand for high-speed and high-precision machining increases, the need for cooling and filtering of cutting oil is high. A new concept of coolant heat exchange filter is developed by installing cooling coil through which refrigerant(R410-a) passes through the coolant filtering device. For structural safety evaluation of the heat exchanger filter for cutting oil suppling device of machine tool, thermal stress and vibration analysis were performed using ANSYS program. The results of structural and thermal stress analyses have led to the conclusion that the cooling system has structural stability. From modal analysis, first natural frequency is 12.37 hz and deformation is 22.041 mm. Sixth natural frequency is 26.887 hz and deformation is 25.563 mm.

본 연구에서는 0.5 wt% 에멀젼형 절삭유 수용액에 평막형 분리막을 침지시키고 대칭 및 비대칭 사인파형 투과유속 연속운전(SFCO) 방식으로 실험하였다. 사용한 정밀여과막은 유효 막면적이 0.02 m2이고 공칭 세공크기가 0.15 μm이었다. 탁도 기준으로 에멀젼형 절삭유의 99% 이상이 제거되었으며 산기량이 증가할수록 TMP가 낮게 상승하였다. 비대칭형 SFCO 운전방식은 투과유속이 낮은 10∼15 L/m2·h 영역에서 대칭형 SFCO 운전방식보다 다소 유리하였다. 하지만, 투과유속이 높은 25∼30 L/m2·h에서는 대칭형 SFCO 운전이 매우 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 침지형 정밀여과막(공칭공경 0.15㎛, CPVC)을 사용하여 에멀젼형 절삭유(MECOOL-7000, Megalube사) 수용액을 처리하였다. 막 오염을 효과적으로 감소시키기 위하여 대칭형 또는 비대칭형의 사인파형 투과유속 연속운전(Sinusoidal flux continuous operation; SFCO) 실험을 실시하였다. 분리막의 투과유속이 증가함에 따라서 막간차압이 증가하였으나, 대칭형 운전방식이 비대칭형 운전방식에 비하여 막간차압이 낮게 형성되어 막오염 제어에 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Waste water-soluble cutting oil was treated with W1 type #1 and W1 type #2. The properties of the original water-soluble cutting oil were pH=10.4, viscosity=1.4cP, CODcr=44,750 ppm, and TOC=10,569 ppm. However, the properties of the oil used for more than 3 months were changed to pH=7.82, viscosity=2.1cP, CODcr=151,000 ppm, and TOC=74,556 ppm. It might be attributed to the fact that molecular chains were cut due to thermal oxidation and impurities such as metal chips were incorporated in to the oil during the operation processes. To prevent the putrefaction of oil, the sterilization effect of ozone and UV on the microorganism in the oil was investigated. Ozone treatment showed that 99.99% of the microorganism was annihilated with 30 minutes contact time and 60 minutes were necessary for the same effect when UV was used. Ozone treatment could cut molecular chains of the oil due to strong sterilization power, which was evidenced by the increase of TOC from 25,132 ppm at instantaneous contact to 28,888 ppm at 30 minutes contact time. However, UV treatment didn't show severe changes in TOC values and thus, seemed to cause of severe cut of molecular chains. When the activated carbon was used to treat the waste water-soluble cutting oil, TOC decreased to 25,417 ppm with 0.1g carbon and to 15,946 ppm with 5.0g carbon. This results indicated that the waste oil of small molecular chains could be eliminated by adsorption. From the results, it could be concluded that these treatment techniques could be proposed to remove the waste oil of small molecular chains resulting in the degradation of the oil properties. In addition, these experimental results could be used for the correlation with future works such as investigation of the molecular distribution according to the sizes, lengths, and molecular weight of the chains.
