Description

低温推进剂火箭发动机的流量计标定***及方法 技术领域
本发明涉及低温推进剂火箭发动机,具体涉及一种低温推进剂火箭发动机的流量计标定***及方法。
背景技术
对于使用液氧、液氢、甲烷等低温推进剂的火箭发动机,在地面热试车点火试验中发动机预冷排放的气液混合状态时,需进行准确的流量测量,一般使用涡轮型流量计进行流量测量。涡轮型流量计在使用前需要进行流量标定,由于涡轮流量计的流量标定一般在检定中心进行流量标定,并且只能进行水介质流动下的流量标定。因此当将涡轮流量计应用在低温介质的流量测量前,需进行低温介质流动下的流量标定。
常规的流量标定方法一般是在工作现场进行涡轮流量计的流量标定,一般采用容器内流出液体量作为流量计标定的基础,先将流量计安装在容器的液体出口,再通过该容器的流量输出进行流量计的流量标定。为了确保准确,首先需将标定容器的容积进行准确测量,目前通常采用水标定法或激光测量仪法。水标定法是通过把容器里放满水,通过将水放置至一个可称重的容器,通过称重得到对应容器的高差,通过多次的标定,可完成容器内各个高度的实际容积的测量。激光测量仪法是通过激光测量仪测量容器的实际容积,并将容器中每个截面对应的加强筋等多余物的体积减去,获取容器的实际准确容积。
然后给标定容器注水,并***一个可以准确测量低温介质液位的液位计, 进行液位的测量。通过液位计初始零液位值与容器标定零位的对齐,可以在累积时间内获取比较准确的标定容器实际液体流量。当容器通过低温介质对流量计流量标定时,建立低温介质流量供应管路,将容器和流量计安装在供应管路上,通过对比一段时间内流出的容器内的介质量和该段时间内流量计叶轮的实际转过的圈数,可以获取流量计叶轮每转过一圈的介质体积流量,实现流量计的流量标定。
但是现有技术方案在使用中存在如下几个问题:
1、当容器测量容积时,若直接采用低温介质代替水,低温介质由于低温的收缩、蒸发及相关结构的不均匀变形,导致容器的容积与实际工作时的容积差异较大,对容器进行称重十分困难,进而导致流量计的流量标定数值存在较大误差。
2、当通过容器的流量对流量计的流量进行标定时,为保证低温介质液位计的工作准确,一般采用分节式电容液位计及或其它类似液位计,液位计一般不能同时兼顾水及实际低温介质,当液位计测量过水以后很难将水从其内部清理掉。因此标定时一般需将液位计拆除,采用激光等方法实现液位测量。液位标定完毕后,清理容器,重新安装液位计。再次测量时,同一液位计的零位对齐存在比较大的误差,或者使用不同液位计也存在较大误差。
3、在标定参考流量计时,常规的标定方法为了确保出口不憋压,一般采用敞开式排放低温介质的标定方式,针对液氢,甲烷等易***介质危险性大、安全性差,进而只能进行短时间段的参考流量计标定,降低了参考流量计的平均流量计算方法的精度。
发明内容

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明的实施例和附图,对本发明的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例并非对本发明的限制。
如图1和图2所示,本实施例中的一种低温推进剂火箭发动机的流量计标定***,包括依次连接的容器加注单元2、容器1、供应管路、称重单元、快速回收容器14、回收单元16,以及称重加注回收单元15;
所述容器加注单元2用于连接槽车和容器1;所述供应管路包括任意位置设置的至少一个温度传感器和至少一个压力传感器,以及依次管路连接的容器箱底波纹补偿器3、第一隔离阀4、容器水平段波纹补偿器5、过滤器6、参考流量计7、中部波纹补偿器8、标定流量调节手阀9、竖直主管91和4个圆周均布的水平管92;第一隔离阀4的进口接容器1的出口,所述竖直主管91的出口与4个水平管92的进口分别连接,对应的4个水平管92呈十字分布;
如图2所示,所述称重单元包括4个竖直分管100、4个收集容器11和4个称重装置;4个竖直分管分别通过力平衡补偿器10与相应的水平管92连通;4个竖直分管分别设置在相应收集容器11的正上方;4个收集容器11的下方对应设置有称重装置,所述称重装置用于收集容器11中增量液体的称重;
所述收集容器11的出口通过隔离管路12和第二隔离阀13与快速回收容器14的进口连通,所述收集容器11的出口处设置有排液阀39,通过手动控 制排液阀39的开关,将收集容器11中的低温介质排放至称重加注回收单元15或回收单元16。
所述称重加注回收单元15用于连接槽车和收集容器11;
所述回收单元用于连接快速回收容器14和槽车。
所述称重装置包括称重组件和均布在称重组件上的两个平衡组件;
所述称重组件包括从下至上依次设置的底座31、两个测力传感器32、动平台33和支撑架34;两个测力传感器32均匀布设在动平台33下台面的下方,且测力传感器32的敏感面与动平台33下台面之间间隙设置或接触设置,所述支撑架34安装在动平台33的正中部,用于支撑对应的收集容器11;
两个平衡组件对称设置在动平台33的两侧,所述平衡组件包括设置在底座31上的支撑杆35、铰接在支撑杆35上的杠杆36,以及挂链37、砝码38;
所述杠杆36的内侧端通过挂链37与动平台33连接,其外侧端挂设有所述砝码38。
由于容器1的重量较重,如果直接使用测力传感器32对其重量进行测量,由于测力传感器32的量程较大,以50m 3容器为例,大约需要4个100kN以上,相对误差也比较大。因此在平台四周设置有4个杠杆式力平衡装置,通过设置合适的砝码38,可以将容器吊起,随着阀门的增多,容器在测力传感器32上的重量逐渐减少,比较理想的状态下测力传感器32上容器的重量可以为0,实际使用中一般控制在100kg以内,此时可以将测力传感器更换为小量程的,比如4个5kN级别的。通过该结构,可以实现进入容器的低温介质的高精度称重。
所述容器加注单元2包括加注接口23、与加注接口连接的加注管路和并 接在加注管路上的回收管路,所述加注管路沿低温介质加注方向上依次设置加注手阀25和加注过滤器24,所述回收管路沿低温介质回收方向上依次设置回收阀门21和波纹管补偿器22,所述加注接口23通过软管与槽车相连接,槽车设置在容器加注单元2附近。加注管路的低温介质出口与容器1的底部进口连通,容器1的底部出口通过供应管路与收集容器11的进口相连通,收集容器11的出口通过隔离管路12与快速回收容器14相连通,隔离管路12采用力隔离软管,所述力隔离软管上设置有第二隔离阀13。
所述称重加注回收单元15与容器加注单元2结构相同,所述称重加注回收单元15用于向收集容器11加注和回收低温介质,所述回收单元16包括通过管路依次连接的回收阀门、波纹管补偿器和加注接口,所述回收单元16用于将低温介质回收至槽车中。
本实施例中,平衡补偿器10采用角式力平衡补偿器,角式力平衡补偿器的拉杆上装有测力传感器,所述收集容器11为全封闭真空夹层容器;所述快速回收容器14该容器放置在较低的位置,可以采用地埋形式。
为了实现容器原位标定完毕后低温介质的长时间高安全性排放,本发明还可在每个收集容器11上增加一套排气***,包括第一排气管路和第二排气管路,第一排气管路和第二排气管路的进口均与其中一个收集容器11相连通,其出口均与外部的气体净化***相连;第一排气管路包括自动排气阀17,第二排气管路包括手动排气阀18。在标定参考流量计之前,可通过控制自动排气阀17打开,对收集容器11出口处***易燃气体进行排放。当标定参考流量计完成后,可打开手动排气阀18对收集容器11中的多余***易燃气体进行排放。
本发明还可只在其中一个收集容器11上安装排气***,由于4个收集容器11通过竖直主管91相互连通,进而可将所有收集容器11中的易燃气体进行排放。
同时在标定流量调节手阀9上并联有标定气动阀99,在标定参考流量计时,通过外部控制单元控制标定气动阀将供应管路中的低温介质的定量排放至称重加注回收单元,进而可多次记录同一时间段中低温介质下降的体积。
本实施还提供一种低温推进剂火箭发动机的流量计标定方法,包括以下步骤:
步骤1:称重单元原位标定
步骤1.1:称重加注回收单元15向收集容器11加注低温介质,当每个收集容器11中的液位计111显示加注液位均到达70%以上,且收集容器11中的低温介质温度<5℃时,将收集容器11中的低温介质回收至快速回收容器14;
步骤1.2:记录测力传感器32的零位和称重装置上砝码38总质量m
步骤1.3:根据测力传感器的使用范围,在每个杠杆36上均卸载预设质量m 0的砝码,记录测力传感器32的输出值V和剩余砝码的质量m,在此基础上,再卸载预设质量m 0的砝码,记录测力传感器32的输出值V和剩余砝码的质量m,如此进行5次卸载质量为m 0的砝码,总共记录5组数据;
上述预设质量m 0参考测力传感器的量程,一般存在下述对应关系m 0=F/5g,其中F为测力传感器最大量程,g为重力加速度。
步骤1.4:重复步骤1.3两次,共获取15组数据,对记录的15组数据进行最小二乘法拟合,得到V和(m -m)的对应关系,完成称重单元的原位标 定;
步骤2:预冷低温介质原位标定***
步骤2.1:称重加注回收单元15向收集容器11加注低温介质,收集容器11中的加注液位均到达40%以上。同时,容器加注单元2向容器1加注低温介质,低温介质槽车通过增压将低温介质依次从加注过滤器24及加注手阀25进入到容器1,加注的过程中需确保容器1的顶部排气阀101处于打开状态,以保证当低温介质进入容器1后气化气体可及时排出,容器1内部不会产生过高的压力,使容器1的加注液位均到达70%以上,实现收集容器11和容器1的预冷;
步骤2.2:当收集容器11和容器1中低温介质温度均<5℃时,打开第一隔离阀4,关闭标定流量调节手阀9,用低温介质冷却供应管路手阀9之前的第一管路,并同时打开第二隔离阀13,将收集容器11中的低温介质泄出;
步骤2.3:当第一管路中的温度传感器的测量温度与低温介质标准大气压下的温度之差小于5℃时,(以液氧为例,其标准大气压下为-183℃,要求相关管道的测量温度低于-178℃),此时第一管路全部冷透后,容器1无比较严重的排气现象。打开标定流量调节手阀9,冷却供应管路手阀9后的第二管路和竖直分管,并依据供应管路的第二管路和竖直分管100的冷态情况进行流量调节;
步骤2.4:当第二管路中温度传感器的测量温度与低温介质标准大气压下的温度之差小于5℃,且低温介质在供应管路中压力≤0.05Mpa时,关闭标定流量调节手阀9,打开第二隔离阀13,当低温介质从收集容器11、隔离管路12和快速回收容器14排空后,实现低温介质原位标定***的预冷。
步骤3:容器原位标定
步骤3.1:关闭标定流量调节手阀9和第二隔离阀13,并打开第一隔离阀4,容器加注单元2对容器1加注到需标定的最高液位;
步骤3.2:按照容器1需要标定的液位下降高度,逐渐打开标定流量调节手阀9,将容器1中的低温介质缓慢排放至收集容器11(缓慢排放可确保每次按预定量排放,一般以10min完成一次排放为宜),使用称重装置对每个收集容器11进行称重,计算容器1中每个液位下降高度对应的容积,重复至少一次,完成容器1的标定;例如当容器1液氧下降一定高度,比如10cm,对进入收集容器11的低温介质进行称重,比如称重后的重量为114kg。
每次称重完成后,均打开第二隔离阀13将称重后的低温介质从收集容器11中排出,可排放至快速回收容器14,若快速回收容器14液位过高,可使用回收单元16将其泄出。
由于***进行了前面的多个预冷步骤,***已经处在和低温介质基本一致的温度条件下,因此其蒸发量非常小,和水标定的情况下基本一致。依据液位下降10cm的介质重量为114kg,因此该收集容器11的此段截面的容积为0.1m 3。每次称重完毕后,都使用第二隔离阀13将称重后的低温介质排放至快速回收容器14。若快速回收容器14液位过高,可使用回收单元16将其泄出。
通过以上步骤,可以获取容器1中每个等高度段(例如以10cm作为单位高度段)对应的容积,进而完成了容器1的原位标定。
步骤4:标定参考流量计
步骤4.1:关闭第二隔离阀13,或拆除隔离管路12及其下游管路,使收集容器11中的低温介质只能从称重加注回收单元15排出;
关闭第一隔离阀4和标定流量调节手阀9,容器加注单元2对容器1加注到需标定的最高液位;
步骤4.11:将低温介质排气***连接在收集容器11上,通过外部控制单元打开自动排气阀17,排放***中低温介质挥发产生的气体,当***中的压力≤0.1MPa时,关闭自动排气阀17;
步骤4.2:打开第一隔离阀4和标定气动阀99,使低温介质依次通过供应管路、收集容器11后从称重加注回收单元15排出,多次记录同一时间段容器1中低温介质下降的体积,并计算出供应管路该段时间的平均流量,用平均流量来标定参考流量计7的流量。
标定时按预计时间进行一段时间的低温介质排放,然后利用测量到的数据进行计算完成标定。例如,在排放过程中在放液过程中从5-15S液位下降了20cm流量计的转动圈数为100转,依据前面的标定结果,这20cm标定的容器分别是0.1m 3及0.11m 3因此5-15s的排放容器为0.21m 3,流量计每转动一圈的容积是0.0021m 3
本实施例中通过采用低温介质排气***,可在标定参考流量计之前,将***中低温介质挥发产生的气体排放出去,含气体的低温介质排放量小,安全可靠。可以实现低温介质长时间的排放标定,针对平均流量的标定算法可较大的提高标定精度。
以上所述仅为本发明的实施例,并非对本发明保护范围的限制,凡是利用本发明说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构变换,或直接或间接运用在其他相关的技术领域,均包括在本发明的专利保护范围内。
