Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical fields of aerospace thermal control, aerospace power and heat exchanger, and in particular to a multifunctional aerospace heat pipe loop system. Background Art
[0002] Spacecraft have internal propulsion systems that provide specific propulsion. In spacecraft, especially satellites, the propulsion system is a system derived from this specific power supply and primarily consists of a propulsion system controller, propellant, propellant tanks, and corresponding valves and piping.
[0003] For propulsion systems powered by cold gas propellants, the propellant is a fluid medium, such as xenon, that absorbs heat and transforms from liquid to gas, ultimately being expelled from the spacecraft to provide specific propulsion power. The thrusters can expel the gaseous propellant medium to the outer spacecraft. If the propellant flowing through the thruster is not completely vaporized, the entire system will fail. Therefore, sufficient vaporization of the propellant is a key factor in ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of the propulsion system.
[0004] In common propulsion system solutions, propellant vaporization is primarily achieved through active heating using heaters.

Both utilize heating devices within the propulsion system pipelines to ensure propellant vaporization. Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN112918705A discloses a thermal control system and method for an integrated propulsion subsystem, which utilizes thermal control within the propellant tank. These active propellant vaporization methods are constrained by the space available for heater placement, leading to issues such as short propulsion times, poor propulsion capabilities, and thruster failure due to incomplete vaporization, as the propellant absorbs significant heat during vaporization.

[0040] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0041] The present invention proposes a multifunctional aerospace heat pipe loop system, in which a propulsion system is combined with a propellant pipeline assembly. The heat-absorbing evaporation pipeline 1c, the heat-dissipating condensation pipeline 1b and the three-way valve 14 form a heat pipe loop. The heat pipe loop uses the propellant provided by the propellant storage tank 2 as a heat flow carrier source to achieve heat dissipation of high heat consumption equipment; the propulsion bypass pipeline 1a, the heat-absorbing evaporation pipeline 1c and the three-way valve 14 form a propulsion passage, which can not only achieve temperature control of high heat consumption equipment, but also fully vaporize the propellant to expand the capacity of the thruster 9.
[0042] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the multifunctional aerospace heat pipe loop system includes a propulsion system, which primarily comprises a propulsion system controller 10, a propellant tank 2, an air filter 4, a propulsion system fluid assembly, and a thruster 9. Propellant is transported between the propellant tank 2 and the thruster 9 via a propellant pipeline assembly. The propellant pipeline assembly includes a propulsion bypass pipeline 1a, the output end of which communicates with the input port of the thruster 9, supplying propellant to the thruster 9. Propellant from the propellant tank 2 flows through the air filter 4 before being delivered to the thruster 9. The propulsion system fluid assembly is distributed along the propulsion bypass pipeline 1a, downstream of the air filter 4, and controls the delivery of propellant. The air filter 4 includes a heating plate 401 for heating unvaporized propellant to fully vaporize it. The propulsion system controller 10 primarily controls the operation of the thruster 9 and the propulsion system fluid assembly, which is conventional technology.
[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the spacecraft has a rear deck 101, a right deck 102, a lower deck 103, a front deck 104, an upper deck 105, and a left deck (not shown in the figure), which is the prior art.
[0044] The thruster 9 is installed outside the right cabin panel 102, that is, fixedly installed on the right cabin panel 102 and located in the external space of the spacecraft.
[0045] A fluid assembly mounting plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the inside of the right cabin panel 102, and the propulsion system fluid assembly is mounted on this plate. This mounting plate 3 is located within the spacecraft cabin, on the side of the right cabin panel 102 facing the interior. The propulsion system fluid assembly includes a pressure reducing valve 5, a proportional control valve 6, a solenoid valve 8, and other components. The propulsion bypass line 1a sequentially connects the propellant tank 2, the air filter 4, the pressure reducing valve 5, the proportional control valve 6, the solenoid valve 8, and the thruster 9. A pressure measuring point 7 is also provided on the propulsion bypass line 1a, located between the pressure reducing valve 5 and the proportional control valve 6.
[0046] According to actual needs, the propulsion system fluid component can also be provided with or apply other fluid control mechanisms such as valve bodies.
[0047] A tank bracket 201 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the lower deck 103 , and the propellant tank 2 is placed on the tank bracket 201 .
[0048] The propulsion system controller 10 is installed on the lower deck 103 of the spacecraft and is located inside the cabin of the spacecraft. The propulsion system controller 10 is a high-heat consumption device. When a high-heat consumption device is in operation, a large amount of heat will be generated, and heat dissipation is required to ensure the normal operation of the device. Depending on the needs, different equipment will be carried inside the spacecraft, such as integrated electronics 11, batteries 12 and other high-heat consumption equipment. The installation location of the propulsion system controller 10, integrated electronics 11, batteries 12 and other high-heat consumption equipment is set to the heat absorption evaporation zone. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the integrated electronics 11 and battery 12 are mounted on the lower deck 103. The area corresponding to the lower deck 103, the propulsion system controller 10, the integrated electronics 11, and the battery 12 is the heat absorption and evaporation zone. Similarly, if high-heat consumption equipment is mounted on the upper deck 105 according to actual needs, the area corresponding to the high-heat consumption equipment installation location on the upper deck 105 is also the heat absorption and evaporation zone.
[0049] It also includes a heat dissipation condensation pipe 1b, a heat absorption evaporation pipe 1c and a three-way valve 14.
[0050] The heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c passes through the spacecraft's heat-absorbing evaporation zone, where the high-heat-consuming equipment contacts the heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c for heat transfer. In the heat-absorbing evaporation zone, the heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c can directly contact the surface or mounting surface of the high-heat-consuming equipment for heat transfer, or it can indirectly contact the surface or mounting surface of the high-heat-consuming equipment using a good thermal conductor such as a thermal pad 13 or thermally conductive silicone rubber.
[0051] The area of the spacecraft's deck that dissipates heat to the cold space outside the spacecraft can be designated as a heat dissipation condensation zone, with the heat dissipation condensation pipe 1b passing through the spacecraft's heat dissipation condensation zone. For example, if the rear deck 101 is designated as the heat dissipation surface, a portion of the heat dissipation condensation pipe 1b is mounted on the rear deck 101. This allows the heat dissipation of the gaseous propellant within the heat dissipation condensation pipe 1b to the outside.
[0052] One port of three-way valve 14 is connected to the propulsion bypass pipe 1a, located upstream of the air filter 4. The other two ports are connected to the heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c and the heat-dissipating condensation pipe 1b, respectively. Specifically, the output end of heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c is connected to three-way valve 14, while the input end of heat-dissipating condensation pipe 1b is connected to three-way valve 14.
[0053] The output end of the heat-dissipating condensing pipe 1b is connected to the input end of the heat-absorbing evaporating pipe 1c. Thus, the heat-absorbing evaporating pipe 1c, the heat-dissipating condensing pipe 1b, and the three-way valve 14 form a heat pipe loop. This heat pipe loop can be driven by a circulating pump 15, which is located on the heat-dissipating condensing pipe 1b. Alternatively, it can be a capillary loop, where capillary forces drive the flow of the fluid.
[0054] The output port of the propellant storage tank 2 is communicated with the heat absorbing evaporation pipe 1 c, and the propellant is input into the heat absorbing evaporation pipe 1 c.
[0055] A ball valve 16 can also be provided on the propulsion bypass pipe 1a, the heat dissipation condensation pipe 1b, and the heat absorption evaporation pipe 1c. The ball valve 16 is a gas replacement switch. Before the gas cylinder tank is connected to the pipeline or before the thruster works, a gaseous medium identical to the working propellant is connected to replace the gas in the pipeline. After the pipeline is filled with the working medium, the system starts working again.
[0056] A spacecraft is typically equipped with multiple thrusters 9. The propellant required by these multiple thrusters 9 can be delivered by a single set of propellant pipe assemblies. The output end of the propulsion bypass pipe 1a is connectable to the input ports of multiple thrusters 9, and a single propulsion bypass pipe 1a can deliver propellant to multiple thrusters 9. Alternatively, delivery can be achieved by multiple sets of parallel propellant pipe assemblies, which are arranged in parallel and have consistent flow resistance. There is a one-to-one correspondence between each propellant pipe assembly and each thruster 9, with each set delivering propellant to one thruster 9. That is, one propulsion bypass pipe 1a delivers propellant to one thruster 9.
[0057] Working principle of the multifunctional aerospace heat pipe loop system:
[0058] When the propulsion system is not operating, the propulsion system controller 10 first controls the three-way valve 14 to connect the heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c with the heat-dissipating condensation pipe 1b, closing the propulsion bypass pipe 1a and forming a heat pipe loop. Propellant is supplied to the heat pipe loop by the propellant tank 2. The propellant functions as the heat transfer medium in the heat pipe loop. Initially in liquid form upon exiting the propellant tank 2, the liquid medium flows along the heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c to the heat-absorbing evaporation zone. The heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c directly contacts and conducts heat to high-heat-consuming devices in the heat-absorbing evaporation zone, such as the propulsion system controller 10, integrated electronics 11, and batteries 12, or indirectly contacts and conducts heat via thermal pads 13. This allows waste heat generated by these high-heat-consuming devices to be transferred to the heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c. The liquid medium in the heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c absorbs heat and evaporates, removing heat from the high-heat-consuming devices and forming a gaseous medium, thereby dissipating heat for these devices. Then, the gaseous medium flows through the three-way valve 14 to the heat dissipation condensation pipe 1b connected to the heat absorption evaporation pipe 1c. The heat dissipation condensation pipe 1b is arranged in the rear cabin 101, that is, the heat dissipation surface of the spacecraft. The heat dissipation condensation pipe 1b is in direct contact with the cold space outside the spacecraft or indirectly in contact with the cabin through heat conduction. The gaseous medium inside the heat dissipation condensation pipe 1b can dissipate heat to the outside. The gaseous medium dissipates heat and condenses to form a liquid medium, which is then driven by the circulation pump 15 to flow back to the heat absorption evaporation pipe 1c. The entire process can realize heat transfer to high heat consumption equipment and achieve continuous thermal control for high heat consumption equipment.
[0059] When the propulsion system is operating—that is, when it needs to provide specific power to the spacecraft—the propulsion system controller 10 first controls three-way valve 14, connecting heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c to the propulsion bypass pipe 1a and closing heat-dissipating condensation pipe 1b to form the propulsion path. Propellant is supplied by propellant tank 2, which serves as the propulsion system's motive force. Initially, the motive force is liquid upon exiting tank 2. The liquid flows through the heat pipe loop along heat-absorbing evaporation pipe 1c to the heat-absorbing evaporation zone, where it absorbs heat and evaporates to form a gaseous medium, dissipating heat for high-heat-consuming equipment. Then, the gaseous medium flows through the three-way valve 14 to the propulsion bypass pipe 1a connected to the heat absorption evaporation pipe 1c, and flows along the propulsion bypass pipe 1a to the air filter 4 and the propulsion system fluid component; in order, first through the air filter 4 equipped with a heating plate 401, the air filter 4 can filter out the liquid medium carried by the gaseous medium in the propulsion bypass pipe 1a, and the residual liquid medium can be completely vaporized by supplementary heating by the heating plate 401 in heat conduction contact with the air filter 4; secondly, it passes through the pressure reducing valve 5 to reduce the high-pressure gaseous medium to the design pressure, and then passes through the pressure measuring point 7 for a pressure measurement feedback and then flows to the proportional control valve 6. The proportional control valve 6 is controlled by the propulsion system controller 10 to adjust the flow rate according to the pressure difference between the front and back of the valve. After adjustment by the proportional control valve 6, the gaseous medium parameters can meet the design requirements of the propeller 9 for the power medium, and then passes through the solenoid valve 8 controlled by the propulsion system controller 10 to control the switch, and finally is discharged from the propeller 9 to the outside of the spacecraft.
