Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a low-temperature propellant filling system, in particular to a two-stage deep supercooled liquid oxygen large-flow filling system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Low-temperature propellants (such as liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, methane, etc.) have the characteristics of high specific impulse, non-toxic and non-polluting, and relatively low price, and are widely used in spacecraft, and liquid oxygen is one of the most widely used.
[0003] The quality of liquid oxygen is mainly reflected in purity and temperature. The temperature of liquid oxygen is crucial for the start of the liquid oxygen centrifugal pump of the ground filling system and the liquid oxygen turbine pump on the rocket. At the same time, the density of liquid oxygen is closely related to the temperature. When the liquid oxygen is supercooled from 90K to 67K, the mass of the liquid oxygen per unit volume increases by 8%~10%, and in the case of filling the propellant with the same mass, the structure weight of the rocket filled with supercooled propellant is 15%~25% lighter than that of the rocket filled with propellant in the normal pressure state, and the cost of the rocket is reduced by more than 11%. When supercooled liquid oxygen is used in the launch site filling system, it can effectively prevent two-phase flow in the conveying pipeline and shorten the pre-cooling time of the conveying pipeline and equipment in the filling process.
