The shape of the nozzle in the mixing head is critical to improve the quality of polyurethane. To achieve homogeneous mixing, an intensive turbulence energy in the mixing nozzle is essential. In this study, a mixing nozzle for RIM was designed, and mixing efficiency was investigated based on experiment. Experiments were conducted with different combinations of nozzle tips and exit diameter to measure the mixing efficiency by measuring jet force and investigating mixing image with high speed camera. Jet force increased gradually and reaches steady state conditions. The jet force depended on shape of nozzle tip and outlet sizes. These results suggest that optimized nozzle configurations are necessary for high efficiency mixing with RIM. KEYWORDS: Reaction injection molding ( 반응사출성형 ), Mixing head ( 믹싱헤드 ), Mixing nozzle ( 믹싱노즐 ) 1. 서론 반응사출성형 (Reaction Injection Molding, RIM) 은반응물또는폴리머를챔버 (Chamber) 내에서고속충돌시켜짧은시간내에혼합반응시키는공정으로대표적적용분야는폴리우레탄발포이다. 폴리우레탄은폴리올 (Polyol) 과이소시아네이트 (Isocyanate) 를서로다른노즐에서고속으로분사하여혼합용기내에서충돌혼합후발포하여경화과정을통해성형된다. 1 폴리우레탄성형을위한반응사출성형은수분이내의짧은혼합과정을걸쳐금형내부로발포하기때문에혼합성능및발포성능이 중요하다. 2 특히, 폴리우레탄품질은공정변수인온도, 압력, 유량등의영향과믹싱헤드 (Mixing head) 의혼합및발포성능에따라결정된다. 3 폴리우레탄발포에사용되는믹싱헤드구조는 Fig. 1과같은구조로폴리올과이소시아네이트를분사할수있는두개의노즐부와충돌혼합공정이발생되는혼합챔버 (Mixing chamber), 그리고혼합물이발포되는출구부로구성되어있다. 노즐부의성능을결정하는인자는노즐홀더 (Nozzle holder) 형상, 노즐니들팁 (Nozzle needle tip) 직경, 노즐콘 (Nozzle cone) 출구직경등을들수있다. 4 Copyright C The Korean Society for Precision Engineering This is an Open-Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License ( which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Kolodziej 5 은반응사출성형의혼합균일도를분석하는연구에서혼합챔버내부의유체충돌후발생되는유동장특성과혼합균일도와의상관계를제시하였다. Erkoc 6 은 CFD 를이용하여혼합균일도를분석하였으며, 이연구로부터혼합균일도분석을위해유동자의압력편차가주요변수임을밝혔다. Santos 7,8 는 PIV(Particle Image Velcocimetry) 와 LDA(Laser Doppler Anemometry) 을이용하여유동장거동을분석하고, CFD 를이용하여물질이동과화학반응분석을통해유체혼합에영향을미치는인자를제시하였다. Tucker 9,10 는믹싱헤드구조를설계하고혼합과정을예측하고분석하는연구를진행하였으며, 혼합효율을높이기위해애프터믹서 (aftermixer) 사용방법을제시하였다. 본연구에서는반응사출성형에서사용되는노즐의혼합성능향상을위한분사노즐형상을설계하였다. 또한설계된노즐형상의혼합성능을가시화실험을통해분석하였다. 2. 실험조건 본실험에서는믹싱헤드의분사력과혼합성능을가시화할수있도록실험장치를구성하였다. 이를위하여 Fig. 2 의노즐형상에따라분사되는유체의분사력측정을위해힘센서를장착하였으며, 이때분사유량도같이측정하였다. 또한초고속카메라를이용하여노즐형상에따른혼합챔버 (Mixing Chamber) 내에서혼합현상및혼합효율을측정하였다.

Fig. 6은노즐의형상에따른분사력을나타낸것으로노즐출구직경이커질수록분사력이커지는경향을보인다. 하지만출구직경이 3mm 이상결과에서는분사력이일정한결과를보이고있다. 이러한노즐출구직경에따른분사력변화는출구직경이작은초기구간에서는레이놀즈수감소로혼합효율이떨어질수있음을보이며혼합효율을높이기위해서는 3mm 이상의출구직경을가져야하는것을알수있다. 실험에사용한오리피스형태의노즐에서는출구의면적이작아지면서압력감소가발생한다. 이때노즐내부공급압력과분사압력이평형을이루는시점에서분사력편차폭이작아지게된다. 이러한특성은 Fig. 7의유량결과에서도동일한현상을보인다. 노즐출구직경이커지면분사유량도함께증가하지만, 출구직경이 3mm, 3.5mm 에서는더이상의유량증가없이일정한

Santos 15 의해알려진바와같이혼합성능은믹싱노즐뿐만아니라챔버에의한영향도크게받는다. 본실험에서는실험을통해설계한노즐을이용하여실제챔버내에서의혼합성능을측정하였다. 노즐출구직경은실험결과에서가장높은분사력을보인 3mm로고정하였다. Figs. 8과 9는노즐니들직경이 1.5mm, 2.0mm 일때노즐니들위치에따른혼합성능을측정한것이다. 니들의위치가출구와가까운 Fig. 8(a) 경우혼합현상이유체가충돌하는부분에서이루어지지만, Figs. 8(b) 와 8(c) 는챔버전구간에서혼합이일어난다. 그러나, 노즐니들직경이 2.0mm인 Fig. 9에서는모든위치에서균일혼합이일어나는것을볼수있다. 혼합챔버내혼합균일도를분석하기위해포토샵 (Photoshop) 을이용하여혼합영역부분측정이미지의그레이스케일히스토그램 (Histogram) 을분석하여표준편차를계산하였다.

5 한국정밀공학회지제 33 권제 1 호 pp January 2016 / 35 혼합챔버내넓은영역에서혼합이일어날때균일도가향상되는것으로판단된다. 4. 결론 반응사출성형에사용하는믹싱헤드의혼합효율을높이기위해노즐을설계하였다. 설계한노즐의성능을평가하기위해분사력과유량측정하였다. 노즐의니들팁직경과출구직경이커질수록분사력은증가하였으나, 노즐출구직경이 3mm 이상에서는증가폭이급격히작아지면서이후일정한분사력과유량결과를보였다. 이러한결과는믹싱헤드의혼합효율이레이놀즈수에비례하는선행연구결과에서와같이분사력증가로인해점차혼합효율이좋아지지만노즐출구직경이 3mm 이후부터는큰편차가없다는것을알수있다. 설계된노즐의혼합효율가시화실험에서는분사력이가장큰노즐니들팁직경 2mm 에서혼합효율이좋은것으로관찰되었다. 두유체가혼합챔버내에서충돌혼합하는과정에서높은분사력에의한충돌로넓은영역으로혼합과정이이루어지면균일혼합이이루어지는것으로판단된다.
