Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a low-temperature propellant filling system, in particular to a liquid oxygen deep supercooling large-flow filling system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Low-temperature propellants (such as liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, methane and the like) 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 a kind of oxidant with a wider application range.
[0003] The quality of liquid oxygen is mainly reflected in purity and temperature. The temperature of liquid oxygen is crucial for the start of a liquid oxygen centrifugal pump of a ground filling system and a liquid oxygen turbine pump on a rocket. Meanwhile, the density of liquid oxygen is closely related to the temperature. When liquid oxygen is supercooled from 90K to 67K, the mass of liquid oxygen per unit volume is increased by 8% to 10%, and in the case of filling propellants with the same mass, the structure weight of a rocket filled with supercooled propellants is 15% to 25% lighter than that of a rocket filled with propellants in the normal state, and the cost of the rocket is reduced by more than 11%. When supercooled liquid oxygen is used in a launch site filling system, two-phase flow in the conveying pipeline can be effectively prevented, and the pre-cooling time of the conveying pipeline and equipment in the filling process is shortened. Meanwhile, supercooled liquid oxygen has obvious effects on improving the launch coefficient of a rocket.
