A heat sink system is provided on the vacuum cabin 1 to absorb the heat released by the engine ignition. The diffuser 4 is a sandwich water-cooled structure. A secondary throat diffuser or a straight-cylinder diffuser is used to achieve the pressure increase and speed reduction of the engine gas. The profile of the diffuser 4 is determined by calculation. A plurality of water spray rod assemblies are provided on the water spray cooler 5. One end of the water spray rod assembly is connected to an external water source, and the other end is provided in the water spray cooler 5, which is used to spray liquid water to the gas. The liquid water discharged is directly mixed with the engine gas to reduce the gas temperature and further reduce the gas speed. The spraying water volume of the water spray rod assembly is reasonably designed to ensure that the gas temperature at the outlet of the water spray cooler 5 does not exceed 1000°C; the first bellows 6 is arranged at the rear end of the water spray cooler 5 to compensate for the thermal deformation of the diffuser 4, the water spray cooler 5 and the first gas collecting chamber 7 and absorb their thermal stress.

The steam jet pump 13 uses high-temperature and high-pressure steam flow to obtain its inlet vacuum degree, and usually adopts m groups of parallel structures, and the value of m is greater than or equal to 1.

[0049] During the actual test run, the load of the active ejection verification system of the high-altitude simulation test bench includes the gas generated by the engine and the liquid water sprayed by the water spray cooler 5. The vacuum chamber load generating device 31 and the jet pump load generating device 15 are used to simulate the loads generated by the two on the ejection system, including load component simulation, load temperature simulation and load flow simulation. The vacuum chamber load generating device 31 and the jet pump load generating device 15 output a gas load of a specified flow rate and specified composition through a mixture of air and water vapor. According to the engine gas flow rate and molar mass and the liquid water flow rate, the gas load flow rate required for the ejection system verification is obtained.

[0050] For example, when it is known that the engine gas flow rate is 20kg / s, of which the non-condensable components account for 80% and the condensable components account for 20%. The liquid water flow rate injected during the test run is 15kg / s, and the injection system load includes 16kg / s of non-condensable gas + 19kg / s of condensable gas. Therefore, the load generation system needs to output 16kg / s of non-condensable gas flow + 19kg / s of condensable gas flow. Among them, condensable gas generally refers to water vapor, and condensable gas will be condensed to form liquid water during the circulation process of the steam injection pump 13.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a mixer 16 is provided in the jet pump load generating device 15 and the vacuum chamber load generating device 31, respectively, and the mixer 16 is used to fully mix the compressed air with the superheated water vapor.

[0057] The jet pump load generating device 15 and the vacuum chamber load generating device 31 can adjust the load composition, load flow and load temperature in real time as needed. When adjusting the load composition, the ratio of compressed air and superheated water vapor is adjusted by adjusting the opening ratio of the first flow regulating valve 153 and the second flow regulating valve 154, and the third flow regulating valve and the fourth flow regulating valve, so as to adjust the proportion of condensable gas and non-condensable gas in the load gas; when adjusting the load flow, the opening of the first flow regulating valve 153 and the second flow regulating valve 154, and the opening of the third flow regulating valve and the fourth flow regulating valve are synchronously adjusted to adjust the load flow as a whole; when adjusting the load temperature, the steam temperature is adjusted while keeping the flow unchanged by setting the superheat of the steam generator 152, so as to adjust the load temperature.

[0062] For the injection system with multiple steam injection pumps in parallel, multiple injection verifications should be carried out. The parameter names, measurement point locations, and sensor types that need to be measured during the verification process are shown in Table 1 below:

[0065] In this embodiment, a group of pressure sensors are respectively arranged at different positions of the vacuum chamber 1, and each group is provided with pressure sensors with three ranges of high, medium and low. The inlet pressure of the diffuser 4 is provided with pressure sensors with three ranges of high, medium and low.

[0066] The present invention is based on the verification method of the active ejection verification system of the high-altitude simulation test bench, comprising the following steps:

[0067] 1) Start the data acquisition module and monitor the vacuum degree, vacuum pressure, temperature and flow in real time;

[0068] 2) Close the vacuum chamber 1 and evacuate the cavity between the vacuum chamber 1 and the vacuum isolation valve 12; the vacuum degree of the cavity between the vacuum chamber 1 and the vacuum isolation valve 12 is related to the number of stages of the jet pump 13. The vacuum degree should be higher than the ultimate vacuum degree of jet pumps 13 of different levels. The ultimate vacuum degree of the four-stage jet pump is 40-60Pa, so this vacuum degree should be greater than 60Pa.
