Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rocket engine test benches, in particular to a multifunctional test system for a liquid oxygen-methane engine test bench. Background Art
[0002] In the commercial space sector, driven by growing demand, liquid oxygen / methane launch vehicle technology is developing rapidly. The key to ensuring successful launches of these vehicles lies in reliable liquid oxygen / methane launch vehicle engines. The stability and reliability of liquid oxygen / methane launch vehicle engines are particularly important, necessitating the use of rocket engine test benches for testing and verification, reducing engine failure rates and improving reliability.
[0003] Currently, traditional liquid oxygen / methane liquid rocket engine test benches in China's aerospace sector have relatively simple test system components, with the liquid oxygen / methane low-pressure system and the liquid oxygen / methane high-pressure system often existing independently. The implementation of these two test systems requires the construction of separate test benches, making this type of test bench test system extremely expensive to build. Due to safety distance requirements, a large area of land is required, and some equipment and facilities must be duplicated, resulting in inefficient use of shared infrastructure, increasing construction investment and maintenance costs. With the rapid development of liquid oxygen / methane liquid rocket engines, the pace of engine iteration and update has accelerated, and engine development involves multiple stages and various types of tests. Traditional single-model engine test bench test systems are no longer able to meet and adapt to the development of multiple engine models.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a liquid oxygen / methane engine test bench system that combines a liquid oxygen / methane low-pressure system, a liquid oxygen / methane high-pressure system, and a liquid oxygen / methane high and low systems. The resulting multifunctional test system and operation method can meet the test requirements of liquid oxygen / methane engines in multiple stages, types, sizes and application scenarios.

[0210] The operation process of the multifunctional test system of the liquid oxygen-methane engine test bench is as follows:
[0211] (1) Filling or supercooling the liquid oxygen and liquid methane system propellants.
[0212] 1. When filling or subcooling the liquid oxygen system propellant.
[0213] The design pressure of the liquid oxygen storage module P is 1.6 MPa. The liquid oxygen storage tank exhaust manual valve P13 and the third safety discharge valve P14 remain normally open. The third self-operated exhaust valve P15 is set to a self-operated discharge pressure of 1.0 to 1.5 MPa. When the liquid oxygen storage tank P1 reaches the set discharge pressure value, the third self-operated exhaust valve P15 automatically opens to exhaust the liquid oxygen storage tank discharge pipeline P5, preventing the third safety valve P16 from tripping due to overpressure and protecting the service life of the third safety valve P16. The first control device HK1 automatically controls the operation of the liquid oxygen storage module P: the liquid oxygen filling valve P4 opens, and the liquid oxygen filling tank truck P2 fills the liquid oxygen storage tank P1 with liquid oxygen through the liquid oxygen storage tank filling pipeline P1. When the liquid level reaches the maximum value set by the liquid oxygen storage tank level gauge PL, the liquid oxygen filling valve P4 is interlocked and closed to stop filling. Open the third self-boosting device liquid inlet regulating valve P5 and the third self-boosting device outlet valve P7. Liquid oxygen is self-pressurized by the third self-boosting device P6 through the liquid oxygen storage tank self-boosting pipeline p2 to the liquid oxygen storage tank P1. The third self-boosting device liquid inlet regulating valve P5 adjusts the inlet flow of the third self-boosting device P6. When the liquid oxygen storage tank pressure sensor PP monitors the self-boosting pressure to be 0.5-0.9, the third self-boosting device liquid inlet regulating valve P5 and the third self-boosting device outlet valve P7 are closed. The third control device HK3 is used to open the first bypass drain valve J3, and the fourth control device HK4 is used to open the second bypass drain valve L3 to connect the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1 and the high-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O2 to the atmosphere, facilitating the refilling of liquid oxygen. The first control device HK1 is used to open the liquid oxygen outlet valve P8, the liquid oxygen low-pressure tank inlet valve P10, and the liquid oxygen high-pressure tank inlet valve P12. Liquid oxygen is then added to the low-pressure liquid oxygen tank O1 through the low-pressure liquid oxygen tank filling pipeline P3, and to the high-pressure liquid oxygen tank O2 through the high-pressure liquid oxygen tank filling pipeline P4.
[0214] During supercooling filling, the first control device HK1 is used to control the liquid nitrogen to be filled into the first liquid nitrogen storage tank A1 by the first liquid nitrogen filling tank truck A2 through the first liquid nitrogen storage tank filling pipeline a1, and to self-pressurize the storage tank through the first self-boosting device liquid inlet regulating valve A5, the self-boosting device A6, the first self-boosting device outlet valve A7 and the first liquid nitrogen storage tank self-pressurizing pipeline a2. Then, the liquid nitrogen is provided to the liquid oxygen subcooler W1 through the first liquid nitrogen filling pipeline a3, the first liquid nitrogen outlet valve A8 and the liquid oxygen subcooler liquid nitrogen inlet valve A10. At the same time, liquid oxygen is supplied from liquid oxygen storage tank P1 via the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank refill line P3, the liquid oxygen subcooler inlet line W1, and the liquid oxygen subcooler inlet valve W2. The subcooling temperature is monitored by the liquid oxygen subcooler outlet temperature sensor WT. The subcooled liquid oxygen is then delivered from liquid oxygen subcooler W1 through the liquid oxygen subcooler outlet valve W3, the liquid oxygen subcooler outlet line W2, the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank refill line P3, and the high-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank refill line P4 to the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1 and high-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O2, respectively. The subcooling process monitors the liquid level set by the liquid oxygen subcooler level sensor WL. If the liquid level exceeds this value, the liquid nitrogen refill to the liquid oxygen subcooler liquid nitrogen inlet valve A10 is shut off.
[0215] During filling or subcooling filling, the first control device HK1 is used for monitoring. When the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank level gauge OL1 and the high-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank level gauge OL2 reach the set maximum liquid level value, the liquid oxygen filling of the liquid oxygen outlet valve P8, the liquid oxygen low-pressure tank inlet valve P10 and the liquid oxygen high-pressure tank inlet valve P12 are closed, and the liquid nitrogen supply of the first liquid nitrogen outlet valve A8 and the liquid oxygen subcooler liquid nitrogen inlet valve A10 are closed. After the liquid oxygen filling or subcooling filling is completed, the first bypass discharge valve J3 and the second bypass discharge valve L3 are closed.
[0216] 2. When filling or supercooling the liquid methane system propellant.
[0217] The design pressure of the liquid methane storage module R is 1.6MPa. The liquid methane storage tank exhaust manual valve R13 and the fourth safety discharge valve R14 remain normally open. The fourth self-operated exhaust valve R15 is set to a self-operated discharge pressure of 1.0-1.5MPa. When the liquid methane storage tank R1 reaches the set discharge pressure value, the fourth self-operated exhaust valve R15 automatically opens to exhaust gas through the liquid methane storage tank discharge pipeline r5, preventing the fourth safety valve R16 from overpressure and tripping, thereby protecting the service life of the fourth safety valve R16. The second control device HK2 automatically controls the operation of the liquid methane storage module R: the liquid methane filling valve R4 is opened, and the liquid methane filling tank truck R2 fills the liquid methane storage tank R1 with liquid methane through the liquid methane storage tank filling pipeline r1. When the liquid level reaches the maximum value set by the liquid methane storage tank level gauge RL, the liquid methane filling valve R4 is interlocked and closed to stop filling. The fourth self-boosting device's liquid inlet regulating valve R5 and fourth self-boosting device's outlet valve R7 are opened. Liquid methane flows through the liquid methane storage tank's self-boosting pipeline r2 and is supplied to the liquid methane storage tank R1 for self-boosting using the third self-boosting device R6. The fourth self-boosting device's liquid inlet regulating valve R5 regulates the inlet flow rate to the third self-boosting device R6. When the liquid methane storage tank's pressure sensor RP detects a self-boosting pressure of 0.5-0.9, the fourth self-boosting device's liquid inlet regulating valve R5 and fourth self-boosting device's outlet valve R7 are closed. The fifth control device HK5 is used to open the third bypass drain valve N3, and the sixth control device HK6 is used to open the fourth bypass drain valve K3, allowing the high-pressure liquid methane storage tank O3 and the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank O4 to communicate with the atmosphere, facilitating liquid methane refilling. The second control device HK2 is used to open the liquid methane outlet valve R8, the liquid methane low-pressure tank inlet valve R10 and the liquid methane high-pressure tank inlet valve R12. Liquid methane is added to the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank O4 through the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank filling pipeline r3, and to the high-pressure liquid methane storage tank O3 through the high-pressure liquid methane storage tank filling pipeline r4.
[0218] During supercooling filling, the second control device HK2 is used to control the second liquid nitrogen filling tank truck B2 and the second liquid nitrogen storage tank filling pipeline b1 to fill the second liquid nitrogen storage tank B1 with liquid nitrogen, and after the storage tank is self-pressurized through the second self-boosting device liquid inlet regulating valve B5, the second self-boosting device B6, the second self-boosting device outlet valve B7, and the second liquid nitrogen storage tank self-pressurizing pipeline b2, the liquid nitrogen is supplied to the liquid methane subcooler V1 through the third liquid nitrogen filling pipeline b3, the second liquid nitrogen outlet valve B8, and the liquid methane subcooler liquid nitrogen inlet valve B10. At the same time, liquid methane is provided by the second liquid nitrogen storage tank B1 through the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank filling pipeline r3, the liquid methane subcooler inlet pipeline v1, and the liquid methane subcooler V1. The subcooling temperature value is monitored by the liquid methane subcooler outlet temperature sensor VT. The subcooled liquid methane is transported from the liquid methane subcooler V1 through the liquid methane subcooler outlet valve V3, the liquid methane subcooler outlet pipeline v2, the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank filling pipeline r3, and the high-pressure liquid methane storage tank filling pipeline r4 to the high-pressure liquid methane storage tank O3 and the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank O4. The liquid level value set by the liquid methane subcooler liquid level sensor VL is monitored during the subcooling process. If the liquid methane subcooler liquid level sensor VL exceeds the liquid level value, the liquid nitrogen filling of the liquid methane subcooler liquid nitrogen inlet valve B10 is chained and closed.
[0219] During filling or subcooling filling, when the high-pressure liquid methane storage tank level gauge OL3 and the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank level gauge OL4 reach the set maximum liquid level value, close the liquid methane outlet valve R8, the liquid methane low-pressure storage tank inlet valve R10 and the liquid methane high-pressure storage tank inlet valve R12 for liquid methane filling, close the second liquid nitrogen outlet valve B8 and the liquid methane subcooler liquid nitrogen inlet valve B10 for liquid nitrogen supply, and the filling or subcooling filling of liquid methane is completed, and close the fourth bypass discharge valve K3 and the third bypass discharge valve N3.
[0220] (2) Carry out gas production of liquid nitrogen gas production system and gas distribution of nitrogen gas distribution system.
[0221] Gas production module C is activated. Liquid nitrogen is supplied from liquid nitrogen tank C1. The resulting nitrogen, after passing through liquid nitrogen plunger pump C2 and liquid nitrogen vaporizer C3, is stored in high-pressure nitrogen cylinder assembly C4. When liquid nitrogen in liquid nitrogen tank C1 is insufficient, first liquid nitrogen storage module A1 delivers liquid nitrogen to liquid nitrogen tank C1 via first liquid nitrogen filling line a3, gas production tank liquid delivery valve A15, and second liquid nitrogen filling line a5. High-pressure nitrogen pipeline isolation valve C6 remains open, and third control device HK3 controls the opening of high-pressure nitrogen cylinder assembly delivery valve C5. High-pressure nitrogen is then delivered to nitrogen distribution module D via nitrogen main delivery line C0 and first nitrogen branch line C1. High-pressure nitrogen is then delivered from nitrogen main delivery line C0 and first nitrogen branch line C1 to first distribution panel D1, where it distributes liquid oxygen to the low-pressure system. The first gas distribution panel D1 is equipped with a pressure reducing valve. Based on the pressurization requirements of the liquid oxygen low-pressure test system, the gas distribution pressure is set to 4-5 MPa after decompression through the first gas distribution panel D1. The fourth control device HK4 controls the delivery of high-pressure nitrogen from the nitrogen main line c0 and the second nitrogen branch line c2 to the second gas distribution panel D2 for gas distribution to the liquid oxygen high-pressure system. The second gas distribution panel D2 is equipped with a pressure reducing valve. Based on the pressurization requirements of the liquid oxygen high-pressure test system, the gas distribution pressure is set to 21-23 MPa after decompression through the second gas distribution panel D2. The fifth control device HK5 controls the delivery of high-pressure nitrogen from the nitrogen main line c0 and the third nitrogen branch line c3 to the third gas distribution panel D3 for gas distribution to the liquid methane high-pressure system. The third gas distribution panel D3 is equipped with a pressure reducing valve. Based on the pressurization requirements of the liquid methane high-pressure test system, the gas distribution pressure is set to 21-23 MPa after decompression through the third gas distribution panel D3. Controlled by the sixth control device HK6, high-pressure nitrogen is delivered from the nitrogen main line c0 and the fourth nitrogen branch line c4 to the fourth gas distribution panel D4, which distributes gas to the liquid methane low-pressure system. The fourth gas distribution panel D4 is equipped with a pressure reducing valve. Based on the required pressure increase for the liquid methane low-pressure test system, the pressure at the fourth gas distribution panel D4 is set to 4-5 MPa after decompression.
[0222] (3) Conducting nitrogen pressurization of the liquid oxygen and methane low-pressure system, the liquid oxygen and methane high-pressure system, and the liquid oxygen and methane high and low systems, and conducting engine tests through the pressurization delivery system.
[0223] 1. When conducting the complete engine M1 test of the liquid oxygen-methane low-pressure system.
[0224] (1) First, pre-cool the medium in the liquid oxygen and methane low-pressure booster transmission system pipeline.
[0225] Low-pressure liquid oxygen delivery module: The first safety discharge manual valve J1 remains normally open, and pre-cooling is automatically controlled by the third control device HK3. The gas generator low-pressure liquid oxygen line shut-off valve Y6 is closed. First, the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank outlet valve Y1 and the complete engine low-pressure liquid oxygen line shut-off valve Y3 are opened. Liquid oxygen is delivered from the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1 via the low-pressure liquid oxygen main line y1 to the oxygen inlet of the complete engine M1 for pipeline pre-cooling. The liquid oxygen collection tank inlet valve Y19 is normally open. Then, the low-pressure liquid oxygen line exhaust valve Y10 is opened to pre-cool and release the gas generated by the vaporization heat exchange in the low-pressure liquid oxygen main line y1 during the initial pre-cooling process. The exhaust gas is delivered to the liquid oxygen collection tank S1 via the low-pressure liquid oxygen line exhaust line y6. When the engine's liquid oxygen low-pressure line temperature sensor YT1 shows that the oxygen inlet temperature is 91K~94K, the medium pre-cooling of the low-pressure liquid oxygen main line y1 pipeline basically meets the requirements, and the liquid oxygen low-pressure line exhaust valve Y10 is closed to stop exhaust.
[0226] Low-pressure liquid methane delivery module: The fourth safety discharge manual valve K1 remains normally open, and automatic pre-cooling is controlled by the sixth control device HK6. The gas generator liquid methane low-pressure line shut-off valve X6 is closed. First, the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank outlet valve X1 and the complete engine liquid methane low-pressure line shut-off valve X3 are opened. Liquid methane is delivered from the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank O4 via the low-pressure liquid methane main line x1 to the methane inlet of the complete engine M1 for pipeline pre-cooling. The liquid methane collection tank inlet valve X19 is normally open. Then, the liquid methane low-pressure line exhaust valve X10 is opened to pre-cool and release the gas generated by the vaporization heat exchange during the pre-cooling of the low-pressure liquid methane main line x1. The exhaust gas is delivered via the liquid methane low-pressure line exhaust line x6 to the liquid methane collection tank U1. When the engine liquid methane low-pressure line temperature sensor XT1 shows that the temperature of the methane inlet is 111K~114K, the medium pre-cooling of the low-pressure liquid methane main line x1 basically meets the requirements, and the liquid methane low-pressure line exhaust valve X10 is closed to stop exhaust.
[0227] (2) Then, the nitrogen in the liquid oxygen and methane low-pressure system tank is pressurized.
[0228] Low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank: Keep the low-pressure liquid oxygen boost manual valve E6 open, close the low-pressure liquid oxygen anti-pressure congestion line J3, and open the air supply valve in the first air distribution panel D1 to deliver pressurized nitrogen gas to the front of the first liquid oxygen main boost solenoid valve E1 and the first liquid oxygen auxiliary boost solenoid valve E2. The third control device HK3 automatically controls the boost pressure, opens the first liquid oxygen main boost solenoid valve E1, and the distributed pressurized nitrogen gas flows from the first air distribution panel D1 through the first boost air supply line d1 and the low-pressure liquid oxygen main boost line e1 to the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1 for rapid nitrogen boosting at a high flow rate. Once the low-pressure liquid oxygen tank pressure sensor EP reaches the stable pressure value required for the test, the pressure is maintained at a stable state.
[0229] Low-pressure liquid methane storage tank: Keep the tank's low-pressure boost manual valve F6 open, close the fourth bypass drain valve K3, and open the air supply valve in the fourth air distribution panel D4 to deliver pressurized nitrogen gas to the fourth liquid methane main boost solenoid valve F1 and the fourth liquid methane auxiliary boost solenoid valve F2. The sixth control device HK6 automatically controls the boost pressure, opening the fourth liquid methane main boost solenoid valve F1. The distributed pressurized nitrogen flows from the fourth air distribution panel D4 through the fourth boost air supply line d4 and the liquid methane low-pressure main boost line f1 to the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank O4 for rapid, high-flow nitrogen boost. Once the liquid methane low-pressure tank pressure sensor FP reaches the stable pressure value required for the test, the pressure is maintained steady.
[0230] (3) Finally, an ignition test is conducted in which the liquid oxygen and methane low-pressure system medium is pressurized and transported to the engine.
[0231] When the nitrogen boost pressure in low-pressure liquid oxygen tank O1 and low-pressure liquid methane tank O4 reaches the set test value, the automatic sequence for the engine ignition test is initiated. Liquid oxygen and liquid methane are delivered through boost and compression, simultaneously transported to the complete engine M1 via low-pressure liquid oxygen main line y1 and low-pressure liquid methane main line x1, respectively, for ignition test. During the ignition test, the liquid levels in low-pressure liquid oxygen tank O1 and low-pressure liquid methane tank O4 are monitored simultaneously by low-pressure liquid oxygen tank level gauges OL1 and OL4.
[0232] During the ignition test, if the test operating conditions need to be changed and the nitrogen boost pressure needs to be rapidly increased, and if the boost pressure of the liquid oxygen low-pressure main booster line e1 does not meet the boosting capacity, the first liquid oxygen auxiliary booster solenoid valve E2 is opened, and the liquid oxygen low-pressure main booster line e1 and the liquid oxygen low-pressure auxiliary booster line e2 are used for simultaneous boosting. If the boost pressure of the liquid methane low-pressure main booster line f1 does not meet the boosting capacity, the fourth liquid methane auxiliary booster solenoid valve F2 is opened, and the liquid methane low-pressure main booster line f1 and the liquid methane low-pressure auxiliary booster line f2 are used for simultaneous boosting.
[0233] Upon completion of the ignition test of engine M1, the third control unit HK3 of the liquid oxygen low-pressure system opens the liquid oxygen low-pressure anti-pressure hold-up line J3 to vent the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1.
