[0024] The following describes a single use of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0025] In this embodiment, the number of booster spray rods 1 tested at one time is two, and the number of nozzles on each booster spray rod 1 is eight, that is, sixteen nozzles on the two booster spray rods 1 are tested simultaneously at one time.
[0026] First, clamp and fix the afterburner nozzle 1, and connect the oil inlet of the afterburner nozzle 1 to the oil supply module to ensure that the sixteen nozzles are accurately aligned with the sixteen oil receiving pipes 35 below. During the debugging phase, if there is any splashing or dripping of aviation kerosene from the nozzles, or incomplete oil collection, the clamping position of the afterburner nozzle 1 needs to be readjusted until the aviation kerosene from the sixteen nozzles can completely enter the corresponding oil receiving pipes 35. Finally, the aviation kerosene that splashes or drips into the anti-overflow oil receiving pan 28 and the aviation kerosene collected during the debugging phase that flows into the measuring cylinder 36 are all discharged back into the main oil tank 2 to prepare for the formal test.
[0027] Before the formal test, the column-type liquid level indicator 3 and the first temperature sensor 4 can feed back the liquid level and temperature data of aviation kerosene in the main oil tank 2 to the display and control panel of the electrical cabinet in real time. Then, the second ball valve 14, the third ball valve 16 and the fourth ball valve 17 in the cooling module are adjusted to the open state, and the stainless steel vortex magnetic pump 9 and the air-cooled chiller 11 are started. Under the pumping force of the stainless steel vortex magnetic pump 9, the aviation kerosene in the main oil tank 2 passes through the stainless steel vortex magnetic pump 9, the plate heat exchanger 10, the first low-pressure pipeline precision filter 12 and the second low-pressure pipeline precision filter 13 in sequence and returns to the main oil tank 2. The aviation kerosene exchanges heat with the cold water output by the air-cooled chiller 11 at the plate heat exchanger 10, so that the aviation kerosene in the main oil tank 2 can be circulated and cooled to maintain a relatively constant oil temperature. The dual filtration of the first low-pressure pipeline precision filter 12 and the second low-pressure pipeline precision filter 13 ensures that the oil is always in a clean state, providing a guarantee for subsequent flow test.
[0028] When the test begins, the oil supply module, measurement module and pneumatic control module start up synchronously and operate according to the set program. The fifth ball valve 29, the sixth ball valve 30, the seventh ball valve 31 and the eighth ball valve 53 are all adjusted to the open state.
[0029] For the fuel supply module, as the fuel pump 18 is started, under the action of pumping force, the aviation kerosene in the main fuel tank 2 passes through the suction filter 19, fuel pump 18, first pressure pipeline filter 23, second pressure pipeline filter 24, mass flow meter 25 and fuel supply throttle valve 26 into the booster nozzle 1. The mass flow meter 25 and the second temperature sensor 27 can feed back the mass flow data and temperature data under the fuel supply state to the display and control panel of the electrical cabinet in real time.
[0030] For the pneumatic control module, as the air pump 39 is started, the third solenoid directional valve 50 is energized and activated. Compressed gas passes through the air combination element 40, the residual pressure relief valve 41 and the third solenoid directional valve 50 in sequence and enters the rodless chamber of the cylinder 45, driving the piston rod of the cylinder 45 to extend, which in turn drives the linkage rod 46 to move, until the linkage rod 46 drives the sixteen butterfly valves 47 to switch from the closed state to the open state simultaneously, so that all sixteen oil pipes 35 are connected.
[0031] With all sixteen oil inlet pipes 35 in the open state, the sixteen nozzles on the booster spray bar 1 spray oil synchronously. The sprayed aviation kerosene enters the sixteen measuring cylinders 36 below after passing through the oil inlet pipes 35 for collection. When the set oil spraying time ends, the third solenoid reversing valve 50 is energized and reversed. Compressed gas enters the rod chamber of the cylinder 45 through the third solenoid reversing valve 50, which in turn drives the linkage rod 46 to move until the linkage rod 46 drives the sixteen butterfly valves 47 to switch from the open state to the closed state synchronously. All sixteen oil inlet pipes 35 are adjusted to the cut-off state, and the collection of aviation kerosene in the sixteen measuring cylinders 36 is completed.
[0032] After the aviation kerosene is collected in the sixteen measuring cylinders 36, the second electromagnetic reversing valve 49 is energized and activated. Compressed gas is connected to the pneumatic control interface of the first pneumatic control reversing valve 32 through the second electromagnetic reversing valve 49, so that the first pneumatic control reversing valve 32 is reversed. The aviation kerosene no longer enters the afterburner 1, but returns directly to the main fuel tank 2 through the connected first pneumatic control reversing valve 32. At this time, the test system enters the standby state.
[0033] In addition, after the aviation kerosene is collected in the sixteen measuring cylinders 36, the volume of aviation kerosene in each measuring cylinder 36 will be synchronously converted into a pressure signal by the third pressure transmitter 37. This pressure signal will be fed back to the electrical cabinet of the pneumatic proportional overflow valve 21 in real time. Finally, the flow data will be converted in real time and displayed on the display and control panel of the electrical cabinet. At the same time, indicators such as flow range and flow coefficient deviation will also be displayed on the display and control panel of the electrical cabinet. The test results are automatically saved and recorded, and the entire test process is automated.
[0034] When different fuel supply conditions need to be simulated, the solenoid valve 43 is first energized and activated. Compressed gas is connected to the pneumatic control interface of all sixteen second pneumatic control directional valves 38 through the solenoid valve 43, causing the first pneumatic control directional valve 32 to switch. The aviation kerosene in the sixteen measuring cylinders 36 will return directly to the main fuel tank 2 through the first pneumatic control directional valve 32. After all the aviation kerosene in the sixteen measuring cylinders 36 has been drained, the first solenoid valve 44 is energized and activated. Compressed gas is connected to the pneumatic control interface of the pneumatic control proportional overflow valve 21 through the first solenoid valve 44 and the electro-proportional valve 48, in order to adjust the overflow of the pneumatic control proportional overflow valve 21, thereby changing the flow parameters of the aviation kerosene entering the booster nozzle 1, thus realizing the change of fuel supply conditions.
