Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a propellant management device used in a propellant tank, in particular to a novel propellant management device used in a propellant tank with the function of suppressing liquid sloshing, belonging to the field of propulsion in space vehicles. Background technique

[0002] Propellant tanks are widely used in various space vehicles such as satellites, spaceships, space stations, and launch vehicles due to their high reliability and long life in a weightless environment. The core technology of the propellant tank is its internal propellant management device (referred to as PMD). The ability to manage PMD is a key indicator of tank performance. The goal of the PMD design is for the PMD to deliver liquids reliably and without air bubbles at all times.

[0003] At present, most of the PMDs of the propellant tanks used in my country's space vehicles, especially satellites, are mesh-type, and the screen is used as a capillary elemen...
