Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to ejection systems, and more specifically to a multimodal vacuum ejection relay system and method. Background Technology
[0002] High-altitude and space environment simulation tests for rocket engines require creating a high-altitude environment in ground test equipment, allowing the engine to operate in this environment to obtain its performance, reliability, and service life, ensuring the requirements of flight missions.
[0003] During testing, the engine ignites and rapidly generates a large amount of combustion gas. This gas accumulates in the test chamber, disrupting the low-pressure / vacuum environment and causing the pressure inside the chamber to rise. This makes it impossible to reproduce high-altitude conditions, leading to distorted engine performance test data. Furthermore, the high-temperature combustion gas can burn the test chamber walls, sensors, and other test equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to quickly extract and eliminate the harmful effects of the combustion gas on the test environment and equipment. Currently, there are three main methods for extracting high-temperature combustion gas: mechanical vacuum pump ejection systems, air ejection pump ejection systems, and steam jet pump ejection systems.
[0004] The mechanical vacuum pump ejector system mainly includes components such as a main pump, a back pump, pipelines, valves, cooling and control systems. Before the test begins, the ejector gas in the test chamber is directly extracted by the main pump to meet the high vacuum requirements of the test chamber. Its suction vacuum degree is approximately inversely proportional to the suction flow rate, which leads to a sharp decrease in pumping efficiency under extreme high vacuum conditions, making it only suitable for engine tests with extremely small flow rates.
[0005] Air ejector pump systems and steam jet pump ejector systems operate on similar principles, consisting of a power source (air or steam), nozzles, an intake chamber, a mixing chamber, a diffuser, isolation valves, and an exhaust pipe. Utilizing the power source, a supersonic jet is generated through a Laval nozzle to draw in the ejected gas, thus creating a certain degree of vacuum. While it has a large pumping capacity, a relatively low vacuum level, and a limited pump compression ratio, it is only suitable for high-flow-rate, low-vacuum engine testing.
[0006] When faced with complex operating conditions such as high vacuum, long duration, and high flow rate, none of the above three ejection systems can meet the experimental requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the technical problem that existing ejector systems cannot meet experimental requirements under complex conditions such as high vacuum, long test time, and large flow rate, this invention provides a multi-modal vacuum ejector relay system and method.

[0018] Step 3: Start the steam generator to charge steam into the steam jet pump, so that the pressure before the second valve reaches the rated ejector pressure value. ;
[0019] Step 4: The test rocket engine is ignited. The ejected gas generated during the test is pressurized by the diffuser and then enters the gas collection chamber and vacuum spherical tank.
[0020] Step 5: At time t after the start of the test, send a control command to the second valve via an external control device to open the second valve, thereby increasing the pressure in the gas collecting chamber to [value missing]. At that time, the second valve is fully opened, and the ejected gas is discharged into the atmosphere after passing through the steam jet pump, completing the multi-mode vacuum ejection relay.

[0051] This invention also provides an ejection relay method based on the above-mentioned multimodal vacuum ejection relay system, characterized by the following steps:
[0052] Step S1: Based on the test duration T of the rocket engine to be tested, if... If so, proceed to step S2; if If so, proceed to step S7;
[0053] Step S2: Obtain the test pressure value of the rocket engine under test based on the parameter information of the rocket engine under test. The rated ejector pressure of the steam jet pump is q is the equivalent flow rate of the ejected gas inside the vacuum test chamber.
[0054] Step S3: Open the third valve, the fourth valve, and the first valve to connect the gas collecting chamber, the vacuum spherical tank, the diffuser, and the vacuum test chamber into a single integrated chamber. Use a mechanical vacuum pump to evacuate the integrated chamber until its pressure reaches the test pressure value. Then, shut off the fourth valve and the mechanical vacuum pump;
[0055] Step S4: Start the steam generator to charge steam into the steam jet pump, so that the pressure before the second valve reaches the rated ejector pressure value. ;
[0056] Step S5: The rocket engine to be tested is ignited. The ejected gas generated during the test is pressurized by the diffuser and then enters the gas collection chamber and the vacuum spherical tank.

At any given time, a control command is sent to the seventh valve to open it, thereby increasing the pressure in the gas collecting chamber to [a certain value]. At this time, the seventh valve is fully open, and the ejected gas is discharged into the atmosphere through the first-stage air jet pump and the second-stage air jet pump in sequence. At this time, the first-stage air jet pump does not perform air ejection action.
