Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rocket engine test stand technology, specifically a multi-functional test system for a liquid oxygen methane engine test stand. Background Technology
[0002] In the commercial space sector, driven by increasing demand, the technology of liquid oxygen / methane launch vehicles has developed rapidly. A key factor ensuring successful launches of these vehicles is the availability of reliable liquid oxygen / methane launch vehicle engines. The stability and reliability of these engines are paramount, necessitating the use of rocket engine test stands for testing and verification to reduce failure rates and improve stability.
[0003] Currently, in China's aerospace field, the test systems of traditional liquid oxygen / methane liquid rocket engine test stands are relatively simple, with the low-pressure and high-pressure liquid oxygen / methane systems often existing independently. The implementation of these two test systems requires the construction of separate test stands, resulting in extremely high construction costs. Due to safety distance constraints, a large land area is required, necessitating the construction of redundant equipment and facilities, and the inefficient use of shared infrastructure, further increasing investment and maintenance costs. With the rapid development of liquid oxygen / methane liquid rocket engines, the pace of engine iteration and updates is accelerating, and engine development involves multiple stages and various types of testing. The traditional single-mode engine test stand system can no longer meet the needs 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-low system. The resulting multifunctional test system and operating method should meet the testing needs of liquid oxygen / methane engines in multiple stages, types, sizes, and application scenarios.

[0210] The operation procedure of the multi-functional test system of the liquid oxygen methane engine test stand is as follows:
[0211] (a) To carry out the loading or supercooling of propellants for liquid oxygen and liquid methane systems.
[0212] 1. When adding propellant or supercooling propellant to a liquid oxygen system.
[0213] The liquid oxygen storage module P is designed to withstand a pressure of 1.6 MPa. The liquid oxygen tank vent valve P13 and the third safety vent valve P14 remain normally open. The third self-operated vent valve P15 is set to a self-operated vent pressure of 1.0–1.5 MPa. When the liquid oxygen tank P1 reaches the set vent pressure, the third self-operated vent valve P15 automatically opens to vent through the liquid oxygen tank venting pipeline p5, preventing the third safety valve P16 from tripping due to overpressure and protecting its service life. The operation of the liquid oxygen storage module P is automatically controlled by the first control device HK1: the liquid oxygen filling valve P4 is opened, and liquid oxygen is filled into the liquid oxygen tank P1 by the liquid oxygen filling tank truck P2 through the liquid oxygen tank filling pipeline p1. When the liquid level reaches the maximum value set by the liquid oxygen tank level gauge PL, the liquid oxygen filling valve P4 is interlocked and closed to stop filling. Open the third self-pressurizer inlet regulating valve P5 and the third self-pressurizer outlet valve P7. Liquid oxygen is supplied to the liquid oxygen storage tank P1 via the liquid oxygen storage tank self-pressurization pipeline p2 using the third self-pressurizer P6. The third self-pressurizer inlet regulating valve P5 adjusts the inlet flow of the third self-pressurizer P6. When the liquid oxygen storage tank pressure sensor PP detects a self-pressurization pressure of 0.5 to 0.9, close the third self-pressurizer inlet regulating valve P5 and the third self-pressurizer outlet valve P7. Use the third control device HK3 to open the first bypass discharge valve J3, and use the fourth control device HK4 to open the second bypass discharge valve L3, connecting 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 storage tank inlet valve P10, and the liquid oxygen high-pressure storage tank inlet valve P12. Liquid oxygen is added to the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1 through the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank filling pipeline p3, and to the high-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O2 through the high-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank filling pipeline p4.
[0214] During subcooling refueling, the first control device HK1 controls the liquid nitrogen to be refueled from the first liquid nitrogen refueling tanker A2 to the first liquid nitrogen storage tank A1 through the first liquid nitrogen storage tank refueling pipeline a1. After the storage tank is pressurized through the first self-pressurizer inlet regulating valve A5, the self-pressurizer A6, the first self-pressurizer outlet valve A7 and the first liquid nitrogen storage tank self-pressurization pipeline a2, the liquid nitrogen is supplied to the liquid oxygen subcooler W1 through the first liquid nitrogen refueling pipeline a3, the first liquid nitrogen outlet valve A8 and the liquid oxygen subcooler liquid nitrogen inlet valve A10. Simultaneously, liquid oxygen is supplied from liquid oxygen storage tank P1 through low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank filling pipeline p3, liquid oxygen subcooler inlet pipeline w1, and liquid oxygen subcooler inlet valve W2. The subcooled temperature value is monitored by liquid oxygen subcooler outlet temperature sensor WT. The subcooled liquid oxygen is then transported from liquid oxygen subcooler W1 through liquid oxygen subcooler outlet valve W3, liquid oxygen subcooler outlet pipeline w2, low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank filling pipeline p3, and high-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank filling pipeline p4 to low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1 and high-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O2, respectively. During the subcooling process, the liquid level value set by liquid oxygen subcooler level sensor WL is monitored. If the liquid level value of liquid oxygen subcooler level sensor WL exceeds the liquid level value, the liquid nitrogen filling of liquid oxygen subcooler liquid nitrogen inlet valve A10 is interlocked and closed.
[0215] During refueling or subcooling refueling, the first control device HK1 monitors the process. When the liquid oxygen level gauges OL1 and OL2 of the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank reach the set maximum liquid level, the liquid oxygen outlet valve P8, the liquid oxygen inlet valve P10 of the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank, and the liquid oxygen inlet valve P12 of the high-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank are closed to refuel the liquid oxygen. The liquid nitrogen supply is also closed to the first liquid nitrogen outlet valve A8 and the liquid nitrogen inlet valve A10 of the liquid oxygen subcooler. After the liquid oxygen refueling or subcooling refueling is completed, the first bypass discharge valve J3 and the second bypass discharge valve L3 are closed.
[0216] 2. When adding or supercooling propellant to a liquid methane system.
[0217] The liquid methane storage module R is designed to a pressure of 1.6 MPa. The liquid methane storage tank vent valve R13 and the fourth safety vent valve R14 remain normally open. The fourth self-operated vent valve R15 is set to a self-operated vent pressure of 1.0–1.5 MPa. When the liquid methane storage tank R1 reaches the set vent pressure, the fourth self-operated vent valve R15 automatically opens to vent through the liquid methane storage tank venting pipeline r5, preventing the fourth safety valve R16 from overpressure tripping and protecting its service life. The operation of the liquid methane storage module R is automatically controlled by the second control device HK2: the liquid methane filling valve R4 is opened, and liquid methane is filled into the liquid methane storage tank R1 by the liquid methane filling tank truck R2 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. Open the fourth self-pressurizer inlet regulating valve R5 and the fourth self-pressurizer outlet valve R7. Liquid methane is supplied to the liquid methane storage tank R1 via the liquid methane storage tank self-pressurization pipeline r2 using the third self-pressurizer R6. The fourth self-pressurizer inlet regulating valve R5 adjusts the inlet flow of the third self-pressurizer R6. When the liquid methane storage tank pressure sensor RP detects a self-pressurization pressure of 0.5–0.9, close the fourth self-pressurizer inlet regulating valve R5 and the fourth self-pressurizer outlet valve R7. Use the fifth control device HK5 to open the third bypass discharge valve N3, and use the sixth control device HK6 to open the fourth bypass discharge valve K3, connecting the high-pressure liquid methane storage tank O3 and the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank O4 to the atmosphere to facilitate the filling of liquid methane. The second control device HK2 is used to open 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. Liquid methane is then 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 subcooling refueling, the second control device HK2 controls the refueling of liquid nitrogen from the second liquid nitrogen refueling tanker B2 and the second liquid nitrogen storage tank refueling pipeline b1 to the second liquid nitrogen storage tank B1. After the storage tank is pressurized by the second self-pressurizer inlet regulating valve B5, the second self-pressurizer B6, the second self-pressurizer outlet valve B7, and the second liquid nitrogen storage tank self-pressurization pipeline b2, liquid nitrogen is supplied to the liquid methane subcooler V1 by the third liquid nitrogen refueling pipeline b3, the second liquid nitrogen outlet valve B8, and the liquid methane subcooler liquid nitrogen inlet valve B10. Simultaneously, liquid methane is supplied from 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 subcooled 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. During the subcooling process, the liquid level value set by the liquid methane subcooler level sensor VL is monitored. If the liquid methane subcooler level sensor VL exceeds the liquid level value, the liquid nitrogen filling of the liquid methane subcooler liquid nitrogen inlet valve B10 is interlocked and closed.
[0219] When adding or subcooling liquid methane, when the liquid level gauges OL3 and OL4 of the high-pressure liquid methane storage tank reach the set maximum liquid level, the liquid methane outlet valve R8, the liquid methane inlet valve R10 of the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank, and the liquid methane inlet valve R12 of the high-pressure liquid methane storage tank are closed to allow liquid methane to be added. The liquid nitrogen supply is also closed by closing the second liquid nitrogen outlet valve B8 and the liquid nitrogen inlet valve B10 of the liquid methane subcooler. After the liquid methane addition or subcooling addition is completed, the fourth bypass discharge valve K3 and the third bypass discharge valve N3 are closed.
[0220] (ii) To produce gas using a liquid nitrogen gas production system and to distribute gas using a nitrogen gas distribution system.
[0221] The gas generation module C is activated. Liquid nitrogen is supplied from the liquid nitrogen storage tank C1, and the nitrogen gas produced after passing through the liquid nitrogen plunger pump C2 and the liquid nitrogen vaporizer C3 is stored in the high-pressure nitrogen cylinder group C4. When the liquid nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen storage tank C1 is insufficient, the first liquid nitrogen storage module A1 delivers liquid nitrogen to the liquid nitrogen storage tank C1 through the first liquid nitrogen filling pipeline a3, the gas generation storage tank liquid delivery valve A15, and the second liquid nitrogen filling pipeline a5. The high-pressure nitrogen pipeline isolation valve C6 remains normally open. The third control device HK3 controls the opening of the high-pressure nitrogen cylinder group gas delivery valve C5, and the high-pressure nitrogen is delivered to the nitrogen distribution module D through the nitrogen delivery main pipeline c0. The high-pressure nitrogen is then delivered from the nitrogen delivery main pipeline c0 and the first nitrogen branch pipeline c1 to the first gas distribution plate D1 to distribute the liquid oxygen low-pressure system. The first gas distribution plate 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 pressure reduction via the first gas distribution plate D1. The fourth control device HK4 controls the delivery of high-pressure nitrogen from the main nitrogen supply line c0 and the second nitrogen branch line c2 to the second gas distribution plate D2 for gas distribution in the liquid oxygen high-pressure system. The second gas distribution plate D2 is also 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 pressure reduction via the second gas distribution plate D2. The fifth control device HK5 controls the delivery of high-pressure nitrogen from the main nitrogen supply line c0 and the third nitrogen branch line c3 to the third gas distribution plate D3 for gas distribution in the liquid methane high-pressure system. The third gas distribution plate 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 pressure reduction via the third gas distribution plate D3. The system is controlled by a sixth control device, HK6. High-pressure nitrogen is delivered from the main nitrogen supply line c0 and the fourth nitrogen branch line c4 to the fourth gas distribution plate D4 for gas distribution in the liquid methane low-pressure system. The fourth gas distribution plate D4 is equipped with a pressure reducing valve. According to the pressurization requirements of the liquid methane low-pressure test system, the gas distribution pressure after pressure reduction on the fourth gas distribution plate D4 is set to 4-5 MPa.
[0222] (iii) Conduct nitrogen pressurization tests on the liquid oxygen methane low-pressure system, liquid oxygen methane high-pressure system, and liquid oxygen methane high-low system, as well as engine tests through the pressurization delivery system.
[0223] 1. When conducting the whole engine M1 test of the liquid oxygen methane low-pressure system.
[0224] (1) First, pre-cool the medium in the pipeline of the liquid oxygen methane low-pressure booster delivery system.
[0225] Low-pressure liquid oxygen delivery module: The first safety discharge manual valve J1 remains normally open. Automatic pre-cooling is controlled by the third control device HK3. The low-pressure liquid oxygen shut-off valve Y6 of the gas generator is closed. First, the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank outlet valve Y1 and the engine liquid oxygen low-pressure shut-off valve Y3 are opened. Liquid oxygen is transported from the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1 through the low-pressure liquid oxygen main pipeline y1 to the oxygen inlet of the engine M1 for pipeline pre-cooling. The liquid oxygen collection tank inlet valve Y19 is normally open. Then, the low-pressure liquid oxygen exhaust valve Y10 is opened to pre-cool and release the gas generated by vaporization heat exchange during the initial pre-cooling of the low-pressure liquid oxygen main pipeline y1. The exhaust gas is transported to the liquid oxygen collection tank S1 through the low-pressure liquid oxygen exhaust pipeline y6. When the temperature sensor YT1 of the liquid oxygen low-pressure circuit of the whole engine shows that the oxygen inlet temperature is 91K~94K, the pre-cooling of the medium in the low-pressure liquid oxygen main circuit y1 pipeline basically meets the requirements, and the liquid oxygen low-pressure circuit 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 achieved using the sixth control device HK6. The low-pressure liquid methane shut-off valve X6 of the gas generator is closed. First, the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank outlet valve X1 and the engine liquid methane low-pressure shut-off valve X3 are opened. Liquid methane medium is transported from the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank O4 through the low-pressure liquid methane main pipeline x1 to the methane inlet of the engine M1 for pipeline pre-cooling. The liquid methane collection tank inlet valve X19 is normally open. Then, the low-pressure liquid methane exhaust valve X10 is opened to pre-cool and release the gas generated by vaporization heat exchange when the low-pressure liquid methane main pipeline x1 begins pre-cooling. The exhaust gas is transported to the liquid methane collection tank U1 through the low-pressure liquid methane exhaust pipeline x6. When the temperature sensor XT1 of the liquid methane low-pressure circuit of the whole engine shows that the temperature of the methane inlet is 111K~114K, the pre-cooling of the medium in the low-pressure liquid methane main circuit x1 pipe is basically in line with the requirements, and the liquid methane low-pressure circuit exhaust valve X10 is closed to stop the exhaust.
[0227] (2) Then pressurize the liquid oxygen methane low-pressure system tank with nitrogen.
[0228] Low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank: The liquid oxygen low-pressure boosting manual valve E6 remains normally open. The liquid oxygen low-pressure anti-backpressure pipeline J3 is closed. The gas supply valve in the first gas distribution plate D1 is opened to deliver pressurized nitrogen to the first liquid oxygen main boosting solenoid valve E1 and the first liquid oxygen auxiliary boosting solenoid valve E2. The third control device HK3 is used for automatic pressurization control. The first liquid oxygen main boosting solenoid valve E1 is opened. The pressurized nitrogen after gas distribution is delivered from the first gas distribution plate D1 through the first boosting gas supply pipeline d1 and the liquid oxygen low-pressure main boosting pipeline e1 to the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1 for rapid pressurization at a high flow rate. When the liquid oxygen low-pressure storage tank pressure sensor EP reaches the stable pressure value required for the test, the pressure is maintained in a stable state.
[0229] Low-pressure liquid methane storage tank: The low-pressure booster valve F6 for liquid methane in the storage tank remains normally open. The fourth bypass discharge valve K3 is closed, and the gas supply valve in the fourth gas distribution plate D4 is opened to deliver pressurized nitrogen to the fourth liquid methane main booster solenoid valve F1 and the fourth liquid methane auxiliary booster solenoid valve F2. Automatic pressurization is controlled by the sixth control device HK6. The fourth liquid methane main booster solenoid valve F1 is opened, and the pressurized nitrogen after gas distribution is delivered from the fourth gas distribution plate D4 through the fourth booster gas supply line d4 and the liquid methane low-pressure main booster line f1 to the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank O4 for rapid high-flow-rate nitrogen boosting. Once the pressure sensor FP of the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank reaches the stable pressure value required for the test, the pressure is maintained at a stable state.
[0230] (3) Finally, an ignition test was conducted to pressurize and deliver the liquid oxygen-methane low-pressure system medium to the engine.
[0231] Once the nitrogen pressurization pressure values of the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1 and the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank O4 reach the test set values, the automatic timing sequence of the engine ignition test is initiated. Liquid oxygen and liquid methane are conveyed through pressurization and compression, simultaneously delivered to the main engine M1 via the low-pressure liquid oxygen main line y1 and the low-pressure liquid methane main line x1 for the ignition test. During the ignition test, the liquid levels of the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1 and the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank O4 are simultaneously monitored via the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank level gauge OL1 and the low-pressure liquid methane storage tank level gauge OL4.
[0232] When the test conditions need to be changed during the ignition test and the nitrogen boost pressure needs to be increased rapidly, if the boost pressure of the liquid oxygen low-pressure main booster line e1 is insufficient to meet the boost capacity, the first liquid oxygen auxiliary booster solenoid valve E2 is opened, using both the liquid oxygen low-pressure main booster line e1 and the liquid oxygen low-pressure auxiliary booster line e2 for simultaneous boosting. If the boost pressure of the liquid methane low-pressure main booster line f1 is insufficient to meet the boost capacity, the fourth liquid methane auxiliary booster solenoid valve F2 is opened, using both the liquid methane low-pressure main booster line f1 and the liquid methane low-pressure auxiliary booster line f2 for simultaneous boosting.
[0233] When the ignition test of the engine M1 is completed, the liquid oxygen low-pressure system: the third control device HK3 opens the liquid oxygen low-pressure anti-backpressure pipeline J3 to release gas from the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1, and opens the liquid oxygen low-pressure circuit drain valve Y18 of the engine to drain the liquid oxygen main pipeline y1. The drained medium is discharged into the liquid oxygen collection tank S1 through the liquid oxygen low-pressure circuit drain pipeline y8 of the engine, the liquid oxygen low-pressure circuit drain pipeline y4 of the gas generator, and the liquid oxygen low-pressure circuit exhaust pipeline y6. When the venting and drainage reach the point where the pressure sensor EP of the liquid oxygen low-pressure storage tank and the pressure sensor YP1 of the engine liquid oxygen low-pressure circuit are within a reasonable range, the first bypass discharge valve J3 and the liquid oxygen low-pressure circuit drain valve Y18 of the engine are closed, and the first anti-backpressure hand valve J4 is manually opened to prevent the residual medium in the low-pressure liquid oxygen storage tank O1 from evaporating and causing backpressure.
