Full-flow afterburning cycle engine ignition matching control system
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2024118214102, filed on December 11, 2024, entitled "Ignition Matching Control System for Full-Flow Afterburning Cycle Engine", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This invention belongs to the field of engine design and relates to an ignition matching control system for a full-flow afterburning cycle engine. Background Technology
[0003] The full-flow afterburning cycle engine comprises an oxygen-enriched system consisting of an oxygen-enriched gas generator and an oxidizer main turbopump, a fuel-enriched system consisting of a fuel-enriched gas generator and a fuel main turbopump assembly, and a thrust chamber, among other components. Liquid oxygen flows directly into the oxygen-enriched generator and the fuel-enriched system after passing through the pump. A small portion of the fuel from the fuel pump outlet flows directly into the oxygen-enriched generator and is burned in the liquid oxygen, while the majority must flow through the large-volume, high-flow-resistance thrust chamber cooling jacket before entering the fuel-enriched generator and being burned in the liquid oxygen. Furthermore, the cryogenic fuel undergoes significant vaporization within the large-volume, high-flow-resistance cooling jacket, resulting in a slow fuel filling process in the fuel-enriched generator. This slow fuel supply to the fuel-enriched generator can lead to deviations in the air-fuel mixture ratio, high combustion temperatures, and generator ablation. Additionally, the low gas flow rate in the fuel-enriched generator results in a slower work-capacity increase compared to the oxygen-enriched system, potentially causing the oxygen-enriched system to accelerate faster than the fuel-enriched system, leading to start-up failures. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose an ignition matching control system for a full-flow afterburning cycle engine. This system accelerates the filling of the fuel system during the starting process, solves problems such as the easy high-temperature combustion of the rich fuel generator and the fuel system ramp-up rate lagging behind the oxygen system during the starting process, and ensures normal engine starting.

[0022] At time T1, the main fuel valve is opened, and the fuel is split into two streams. One stream of fuel enters the thrust chamber cooling jacket to pre-cool the jacket, and then flows out of the cooling jacket and is discharged to the outside through the pre-cooling discharge valve, thus completing the low-temperature pre-cooling of the thrust chamber cooling jacket. The other stream of fuel flows to the inlet of the auxiliary fuel valve.

[0038] This invention designs two types of ignition matching control systems for full-flow afterburning cycle engines, as shown in Figure 1. The first type of ignition matching control system for full-flow afterburning cycle engines includes an oxygen-enriched generator, an oxygen pump turbine, an oxygen pump, a liquid oxygen main valve, a liquid oxygen secondary valve, a fuel secondary valve, a fuel-enriched generator, a fuel pump turbine, a fuel pump, a fuel main valve, a fuel shut-off valve, and a thrust chamber. The thrust chamber is vertically positioned. Oxygen pumps and fuel pumps are symmetrically arranged on either side of the thrust chamber. Each oxygen pump has an oxidizer inlet. An oxygen pump turbine is connected to the oxygen pump. The oxygen pump is connected via pipelines to the input ends of both the main liquid oxygen valve and the auxiliary liquid oxygen valve. The output end of the main liquid oxygen valve is connected to the input end of the oxygen-enriched generator.

[0039] The working process of this control system is as follows:
[0040] At time T0, external liquid oxygen enters through the oxidant inlet of the oxygen pump and flows to the inlet of the liquid oxygen main valve; fuel enters through the fuel inlet of the fuel pump and flows to the inlet of the fuel main valve.
[0041] At time T1, the helium drive gas source interface on the fuel pump turbine is opened, and external high-pressure helium enters, causing the fuel pump turbine to start rotating and reach stability, and the fuel pump to generate positive head.

[0042] At time T2, the main fuel valve is opened; driven by the positive head of the fuel pump, the fuel is split and flows; one stream of fuel enters the thrust chamber cooling jacket to pre-cool the jacket, and then flows out of the cooling jacket to the fuel shut-off valve inlet; the high-pressure helium gas makes the pipeline pressure high, effectively reducing fuel boiling; the other stream of fuel flows to the fuel auxiliary valve inlet; at time T2, by opening the main fuel valve in advance, the filling of the large thrust chamber cavity is accelerated, which is beneficial to the rapid filling of the large thrust chamber cavity.
[0043] At time T3, the main liquid oxygen valve and the auxiliary fuel valve connected to the oxygen-enriched generator are opened; liquid oxygen and fuel flow into the oxygen-enriched generator, ignite to produce oxygen-enriched gas, and then drive the oxygen pump turbine; the oxygen-enriched gas drives the turbine pump and then flows into the thrust chamber.
[0044] Open the liquid oxygen auxiliary valve and fuel shut-off valve connected to the rich gas generator; liquid oxygen and fuel flow into the rich gas generator, ignite to produce rich gas, and then drive the fuel pump turbine; after the rich gas drives the fuel pump turbine, it flows into the thrust chamber.

The thrust chamber has two output ends, which converge and connect to the input end of the fuel shut-off valve and the pre-cooling discharge valve, respectively. The output end of the fuel shut-off valve connects to the input end of the fuel-enriched generator. The output end of the fuel-enriched generator connects to the thrust chamber via the fuel pump turbine.
[0052] The working process of this control system is as follows:
[0053] At time T0, external liquid oxygen flows in through the oxidant inlet of the oxygen pump and flows to the inlet of the liquid oxygen main valve; external fuel flows in through the fuel inlet of the fuel pump and flows to the inlet of the fuel main valve.
[0054] At time T1, the main fuel valve is opened, and the fuel is diverted. One stream of fuel enters the thrust chamber cooling jacket to pre-cool it, and then flows out of the cooling jacket and is discharged to the outside through the pre-cooling discharge valve, thus completing the low-temperature pre-cooling of the thrust chamber cooling jacket. The other stream of fuel flows to the inlet of the auxiliary fuel valve. At time T1, by opening the main fuel valve in advance, the filling of the large thrust chamber cavity is accelerated, which is beneficial to the rapid filling of the large thrust chamber cavity.
