Abstract:
Densification by means of deep supercooling can significantly improve the thermodynamic properties of cryogenic propellants, including increased density, reduced gas-liquid saturation pressure, and increased sensible cooling capacity, which has an important role in reducing the rocket size and enhancing the application convenience of cryogenic propellants. In this paper, three typical cryogenic propellants, liquid methane, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, were selected as the research objects. Firstly, the physical parameters of the cryogenic propellants before and after deep subcooling were compared to gain an in-depth understanding of the beneficial effects of densification. Then, the development and application status of cryogenic propellant densification at home and abroad were reviewed, and its technical characteristics were summarized. Finally, some suggestions for the development of cryogenic propellant densification suitable for China's national conditions were put forward, including the simultaneous densification of cryogenic propellant combination, the development of high-performance vacuum compressors and the design of new filling process processes, etc.The results canprovide theoretical reference for the future development of cryogenic propellant densification technology.
