Abstract

The invention discloses a liquid hydrogen supercooling degree acquisition system for a space launching site. The system involves a liquid hydrogen storage tank, wherein a top pressurization opening ofthe liquid hydrogen storage tank is connected with an outlet of a high-pressure helium tank through a valve; a bottom outlet of the liquid hydrogen storage tank is connected with a liquid hydrogen side inlet of a helium-hydrogen heat exchanger through a circulating pump, and a liquid hydrogen side outlet of the helium-hydrogen heat exchanger is connected with a top reflux inlet of the liquid hydrogen storage tank through a reflux check valve; a helium side outlet of the helium-hydrogen heat exchanger is connected with a helium side inlet of a liquid hydrogen bath-type heat exchanger through acold helium compressor, and a helium side outlet of the liquid hydrogen bath-type heat exchanger is connected with a helium side inlet of the helium-hydrogen heat exchanger through a throttling valve; and a liquid hydrogen inlet of the liquid hydrogen bath-type heat exchanger is connected with the bottom outlet of the liquid hydrogen storage tank through a float regulating valve, and a hydrogen outlet of the liquid hydrogen bath-type heat exchanger is emptied through a hydrogen discharge valve. According to the system, a large number of liquid hydrogen cold sources existing in the launching site are used for precooling, and large-scale on-site preparation of the launching site with the large supercooling degree of liquid hydrogen can be achieved in combination with the cold helium compressor; and the equipment investment and transformation cost is low, and engineering implementation is easy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of densified low-temperature fuel at an aerospace launch site, in particular to a system for obtaining the subcooling degree of liquid hydrogen at an aerospace launch site. Background technique [0002] Liquid hydrogen / liquid oxygen is currently a group of propellant combinations with the highest specific impulse. Compared with normal temperature propellants, its specific impulse is 30% to 40%. Therefore, the application of this propellant to the upper stage of the launch vehicle can significantly improve the rocket launch ability. [0003] Liquid hydrogen for aerospace is usually at the saturation temperature, that is, 20K, and its density at normal pressure is about 71.3kg / m 3 . If the liquid hydrogen is supercooled, it will help increase the density of liquid hydrogen, reduce the volume of the storage tank, and improve the rocket's carrying capacity. When liquid hydrogen is supercooled t...
