Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cryogenic high-pressure testing technology, and particularly relates to a quick-release filter element for a cryogenic high-pressure testing system for liquid rocket engines. Background Technology

[0002] Aerospace products are highly sensitive to foreign matter. Therefore, cryogenic testing systems typically employ multiple axial-flow cryogenic filters to prevent foreign matter from entering the test product. These filters also require regular disassembly, cleaning, and inspection. However, with the advancements in aerospace and other fields towards deep space and high-thrust applications, the testing pressures for cryogenic components have significantly increased. This has led to two problems with cryogenic filters in testing systems: First, the filter screens may break under the impact of high-pressure, high-flow-rate media, allowing foreign matter to enter the test product. Second, high pressure differentials cause ice crystals and other foreign matter in the medium to rapidly adhere to the filter screen surface, resulting in filter blockage. This prevents the test pressure from reaching the required level, necessitating test termination and subsequent disassembly and cleaning of the filter element after the system returns to room temperature, thus impacting the test schedule. Therefore, conventional axial-flow cryogenic filters are no longer sufficient to meet the requirements of high-pressure, high-flow-rate, and high-efficiency testing. Summary of the Invention

[0039] The stainless steel filter assembly 5 is welded to the outside of the filter element 7.

[0040] In this embodiment, the housing 4 has an overall rectangular parallelepiped structure with flow direction markings engraved on its surface. The housing 4 adopts a lightweight design, with thinning and weight reduction measures implemented in areas without flow channels and stepped holes (e.g., weight reduction holes 51 are provided). The bottom of the housing 4 is provided with a filter fixing threaded hole 50, which is used to fix the quick-release filter cartridge when necessary, for example, fixing the quick-release filter cartridge to the bracket through the filter fixing threaded hole 50.

[0041] In this embodiment, the filter element 7 has a barrel-shaped structure; the upper part of the barrel-shaped structure is cylindrical, and the lower part is elliptical. The elliptical cylinder has an elliptical cross-section, with its major axis parallel to the media inlet and outlet axes. Several media inlet holes 78 are evenly distributed on the side of the elliptical cylinder. The 62° angled side of the elliptical cylinder facing the inlet channel 41 serves as the filter element's flow-facing surface 71, where the media inlet holes 78 are not machined. Several media outlet holes 75 are evenly distributed on the side of the cylinder, and these outlet holes 75 are elongated holes. A filter element mounting guide surface 74 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder to control the radial relative position of the filter element 7 and the housing 4. When inserting the filter element 7 into the stepped hole of the housing 4, it must be ensured that, viewed from the inlet channel 41, the filter element's flow-facing surface 71 is completely aligned with the inlet channel 41. Preferably, the total area of ​​the media outlet holes and the media inlet holes is more than four times the area of ​​the channel.

[0042] In this embodiment, the stainless steel filter assembly 5 has a two-layer structure, with an inner layer being a filter skeleton and an outer layer being a filter that meets the required filtration accuracy for the test. The filter skeleton and the filter are welded to the outer side of the elliptical cylinder of the filter element 7 using electron beam welding.

[0043] In this embodiment, the upper sealing gasket 8 is installed in the upper sealing gasket sealing groove 45 inside the housing 4, and the lower sealing gasket 6 is installed in the lower sealing gasket sealing groove 73 on the filter element 7. When the filter element 7 with the lower sealing gasket 6 installed is inserted into the stepped hole of the housing 4 with the upper sealing gasket 8 installed, the lower sealing gasket 6 contacts the lower sealing gasket sealing boss surface 44 inside the housing 4, and the upper sealing gasket 8 contacts the upper sealing gasket sealing boss surface 76 on the filter element 7. The gland 10 is provided with a gland sealing gasket sealing groove 101, a gland mounting guide surface 102, and a gland screw mounting hole 103. The gland sealing gasket 9 is installed in the gland sealing gasket sealing groove 101. The gland mounting guide surface 102 is used to control the radial relative position between the gland 10 and the housing 4. The gland screw 11 passes through the gland screw mounting hole 103 and is screwed into the gland mounting threaded hole 46 on the top of the housing 4 and tightened. When the gland 10 with the gland sealing gasket 9 is installed and fixed to the top of the housing 4 by the gland screw 11, the gland sealing gasket 9 contacts the gland sealing gasket sealing boss surface 77 on the filter element 7. The sealing structure at the lower sealing gasket and the gland sealing gasket is a tenon and groove structure, and the sealing structure at the upper sealing gasket is a semi-tenon and groove structure. The compression of each sealing gasket can be controlled by designing the dimensions of the thickness of each sealing gasket, the height of the sealing boss, and the depth of the sealing groove. Preferably, the compression amount of the lower sealing gasket is the same as that of the upper sealing gasket, and the compression amount of the gland sealing gasket is 11 times that of the upper / lower sealing gasket.

[0044] In this embodiment, the gland 10 is connected to the housing 4 by threads. During the tightening process of the gland 10, the filter element 7 moves downward, first pressing the lower sealing gasket 6 to achieve the calculated sealing pressure. The gland 10 continues to be screwed in, so that the upper sealing gasket 8 and the gland sealing gasket 9 are pressed together to achieve the calculated sealing pressure.

[0045] In this embodiment, the medium inlet end of the housing 4 is provided with an inlet gasket sealing groove 42 and an inlet fastener mounting hole 43, and the medium outlet end of the housing 4 is provided with an outlet gasket sealing groove 48 and an outlet fastener mounting hole 49. The inlet flange gasket 3 is installed in the inlet gasket sealing groove 42, and the inlet fastener 2 installs the inlet flange 1 at the medium inlet end of the housing 4 through the inlet fastener mounting hole 43. The outlet flange gasket 14 is installed in the outlet gasket sealing groove 48, and the outlet fastener 13 installs the outlet flange 12 at the medium outlet end of the housing 4 through the outlet fastener mounting hole 49. It should be noted that, depending on the structural form of the low-temperature high-pressure test system, the inlet flange assembly (inlet flange, inlet fastener, and inlet flange gasket) and the outlet flange assembly (outlet flange, outlet fastener, and outlet flange gasket) can also be replaced with an inlet connector and an outlet connector, which are screwed to the medium inlet end and the medium outlet end of the housing, respectively, reducing system modification work.

[0046] In this embodiment, the housing, filter element, and gland are made of low-temperature resistant stainless steel. The lower sealing gasket, upper sealing gasket, and gland sealing gasket are made of compressible, low-temperature resistant materials such as F4, copper, or soft aluminum.

[0047] In this embodiment, the quick-release filter cartridge is connected to the cryogenic medium input pipeline and the cryogenic medium output pipeline via the inlet flange and outlet flange, respectively, to connect to the cryogenic high-pressure test system. The cryogenic medium enters the quick-release filter cartridge from upstream through the inlet channel, is filtered by the stainless steel filter screen assembly, enters the filter cartridge through the medium inlet hole, and then flows out through the medium outlet hole and outlet channel, completing the filtration process.

[0048] In this embodiment, when cleaning or replacing the filter element, a small amount of low-pressure isolation gas is introduced upstream of the quick-release filter element, the cap screws are removed, the cap is taken off, and the filter element 7 is removed using tools such as a hook, and a new filter element and sealing gasket are replaced.

[0049] In summary, the quick-release filter element described in this invention has been successfully applied multiple times in the cryogenic high-pressure test system of liquid rocket engines. This quick-release filter element can effectively filter impurities in the medium without causing damage to the filter screen due to the impact of high pressure and high speed media. When the filter is blocked by ice or needs cleaning, the filter element can be replaced directly and quickly without disassembling the filter body, eliminating the phenomenon of pipe joint sticking.
