Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to an aircraft engine cooling system, and in particular to a jet cooling device. Background Art

[0002] When the aircraft engine is in high Mach number flight state, the intake temperature of the aircraft engine is getting higher and higher, and the uneven distribution of the intake air flow field is also increasing. The inlet temperature needs to be cooled before the engine inlet, and the uniformity of the temperature field distribution is guaranteed. The temperature field of the air is adjusted to a uniform state within a short time and short distance. At present, direct injection points are generally used, or uniform layout measures are adopted to achieve the injection of liquid, which can achieve local cooling. When the engine inlet airflow is a distorted field, the existing structure cannot adapt to the uneven flow field distribution of the inlet gas on the same cross section, and cannot achieve uniform temperature distribution at the outlet cross section.

Technical personnel in the field can understand their specific meanings in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 7As shown in the schematic diagram, the present invention provides a stepped jet cooling device solution that can adapt to different intake conditions, which mainly includes a plurality of jet plates 20, which are installed on the middle section of the intake device 10 and fixedly assembled from top to bottom. The jet plates are arranged at equal intervals on the same section, and the intervals are much larger than the thickness of the jet plates. Multiple rows of nozzles 30 are respectively provided on both sides of the jet plates, and the nozzles in the same row are connected by a branch pipe. A certain distance should be left between the uppermost nozzle and the lowermost nozzle in the same row and the intake shell.

[0033] The jet plates 20 arranged on the air intake section are arranged in a mirror-like manner side by side. The jet plates on both sides of the air intake cavity need to reserve a certain space below the air intake device cavity. The space width is about 3 times the radial width of the jet plate. Different injection areas are arranged on a single jet plate, and the space coverage of the injection area reaches 100%. The arrangement scheme is as follows: Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it can be used Figure 2 The row distribution in the Figure 3 All jet plates mainly include two spray areas, positive and negative, with a total of 8 spray columns, 4 on each side, such as Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, in the specific structural scheme, 2, 4, 6, and 8 are on the same side, and 1, 3, 5, and 7 are on the other side of the jet plate. There are a total of eight water columns, and each water column is provided with 6-10 injection point positions. All injection points are distributed at equal height intervals on the jet plate and are at the same axial position along the airflow direction.

[0034] Jet nozzles of different area groups are set on the injection point on the same side of the jet plate, which are divided into 4 areas from top to bottom, such as Figure 6 As shown, each area is provided with different injection points, 12 nozzles with the same flow level are designed in the first area, 8 nozzles with the same flow level are set in the second area, 6 nozzles with the same flow level are set in the third area, and 4 nozzles with the same flow level are set in the fourth area.

[0035] The main parameters of the device described in the present invention are as follows:

[0036] The water channels on the back of the ejector are spaced apart, with the same spacing, and the number of ejection points on both sides is 1:1;

[0037] The front and back sides of the jet are divided into multiple spraying zones. The design can be adjusted according to the situation. The zone should be 2-6 zones.

[0038] The ejector jet described in the present invention is divided into four regions, and the number of regional injection points and flow rate are both stepped distribution. The main parameters include: the ratio of the number of injection points in the four regions (from bottom to top) is 6:4:3:2,

[0039] The flow numbers of multiple injection point positions in each area of ​​each ejector plate of the ejector are consistent, but the four areas are different, and the ratio of the single-point injection flow numbers in each of the four areas is 4:3:2:1;

[0040] The injection direction of the ejector's injection point is at an angle of 90 degrees to the incoming air intake direction, and the injection point sprays in an air cone structure, with the cone surface coverage angle between 80-95 degrees.

[0041] The jet cooling device has the following working mode: the jet points of two adjacent jet plates have the same working mode, the water channels 101, 103, 105, 107 and 102, 104, 106, 108 on both sides of the jet plates spray crosswise, and the spray direction is perpendicular to the airflow direction, such as Figure 7 The water circuits on the ejector have three working modes in total. When the air intake is low, the 2nd and 3rd circuits (102, 103 injection) of all the ejector plates in the ejector device work. When the air intake increases to a certain level, the 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 7th circuits (102, 103, 106, and 107 injection) work simultaneously. When the air intake continues to increase, the 8th water circuit (101-108 injection) works simultaneously. When the aerospace plane is in a high Mach number flight state, its inlet airflow distribution may be distorted, resulting in a high intake pressure below the incoming air, and uneven velocity distribution along the inlet cross-section position. When the state is high, the distortion is more obvious. At this time, the structure described in this patent has a partitioned multi-nozzle design, and adopts different flow gradient designs in the nozzle design to ensure that in a low state, when the incoming flow temperature is higher than the engine allowable range but slightly over-temperature, some injection points are sprayed in a small state to ensure the atomization effect of each injection point, thereby improving the evaporation efficiency and ensuring the jet effect in a small state. When the inlet state is high, the inlet duct temperature is high. At this time, all nozzles are opened to ensure the atomization of each injection point, so as to ensure effective evaporation and heat absorption and cooling. This design can ensure that the jet liquid is well atomized in the entire working range. At the same time, under the condition of airflow distortion, its partitioned and gradient flow design can effectively adjust the structure for effective cooling and temperature distribution, and can effectively ensure a good temperature field distribution of the outlet section of the inlet duct jet section.

[0042] This application is aimed at the case where the air-space plane may have a distorted inlet airflow distribution under a high Mach number flight state, resulting in a high intake pressure below the incoming air, and uneven velocity distribution along the inlet cross-section position. When the state is high, the distortion is more obvious. At this time, the structure described in this patent has a partitioned multi-nozzle design, and adopts different flow gradient designs in the nozzle design to ensure that in a low state, when the incoming flow temperature is higher than the engine allowable range but slightly over-temperature, some injection points are sprayed in a small state to ensure the atomization effect of each injection point, thereby improving the evaporation efficiency and ensuring the jet effect in a small state. When the inlet state is high, the inlet duct temperature is high. At this time, all nozzles are opened to ensure the atomization of each injection point, so as to ensure effective evaporation, heat absorption and cooling. This design can ensure that the jet liquid is well atomized in the entire working range. At the same time, under the condition of airflow distortion, its partitioned and gradient flow design can effectively adjust the structure for effective cooling and temperature distribution, and can effectively ensure a good temperature field distribution of the outlet section of the inlet duct jet section.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
