Description

Technical Field

Background Art

[0002] The performance and reliability of the turbopump, as the heart of the liquid rocket hydrogen-oxygen engine, will affect the reliability of the liquid rocket launch. In the liquid rocket engine models currently in service, the turbopump widely adopts the end face seal structure. As the core and key component of the turbopump, the end face seal is an important link that affects the safe and reliable operation of the turbopump of the liquid rocket engine.

[0003] Before assembling the turbo pump, it is usually necessary to carry out an end face seal test, which is a key link in assessing its sealing performance. With the normalization of space launches, the demand for end face seal tests and reliability requirements are becoming increasingly higher. At present, the domestic patent (CN 108708802 B) has achieved the purpose of testing one low-temperature end face seal at a time, but the efficiency is low; the patent (CN 115541134A) can achieve the operation of two products at a time, but it cannot achieve accurate measurement of the leakage of the two products at the same time. The medium leaked through the low-temperature end face seal is generally a gas-liquid mixed two-phase medium. Ordinary leather cup seals cannot achieve complete sealing. If the interference is too large, it will easily cause excessive heat generation, resulting in shaft head ablation. In addition, there is currently no special assessment test device for the low-temperature (-196℃) high-speed (speed not less than 20,000rpm) leather cup seal structure, and it is impossible to determine the relationship between the characteristics of the leather cup seal structure and the sealing pressure, and it is impossible to provide accurate technical data support.

The pressure sensor is installed through the front bearing pressure measuring nozzle 11 and the rear bearing pressure measuring nozzle 19 to measure the working pressure of the low-temperature medium entering the bearing.

[0048] During operation, the low-temperature medium is converted into a gas-liquid two-phase medium after being sealed by the front product end face sealing component 9 and the rear product end face sealing component 21. The gas-liquid two-phase medium passes through the front product leakage takeover nozzle 7 and the rear product leakage takeover nozzle 22 respectively, and then passes through the vaporizer, the low-temperature stop valve, and the volume flow meter in turn.

[0052] During operation, the low-temperature medium is converted into a gas-liquid two-phase medium after being sealed by the front product end face sealing component 9 and the rear product end face sealing component 21. The gas-liquid two-phase medium passes through the front product leakage take-over nozzle 7 and the rear product leakage take-over nozzle 22 respectively, and then passes through the vaporizer, the low-temperature stop valve, and the volume flow meter in turn. The leakage amount of the front and rear product end face sealing components is measured by the volume flow meter, and finally the gas medium is discharged into the atmosphere.

[0053] Embodiment 3:
