介绍了液体火箭发动机电动泵增压系统的发展历程以及电动泵系统核心组件的特点,提出了考虑离心泵效率及电源系统放电特性变化的电动泵系统质量模型。电动泵系统中质量占比最大的组件为电机和电源系统,质量敏感性分析表明离心泵效率对系统质量的影响最大。通过对比不同推力、室压和工作时间下的电动泵系统与涡轮泵系统(燃气发生器循环)质量发现,电动泵系统在不同发动机推力下对应室压极限,低于该极限值时电动泵系统存在质量优势,且该室压极限值随着发动机推力增大而提高。最后,针对电动泵系统进一步减重增效,梳理了各组件涉及的主要关键技术,并提出了发展建议。

In this paper, the development history of electrically driven pump feed system for liquid rocket engine is presented and the characteristics of core components are explained in detail.A mass model for electrically driven pump system considering the centrifugal pump efficiency and the discharge characteristics of Li-ion battery is proposed.The motor and battery system have the largest mass proportion of the whole system.Sensitivity analysis shows that the pump efficiency has the greatest impact on the system mass.By comparing the mass of electrically driven pump system and turbopump system(gas generator cycle)under different thrust, chamber pressure and working time, a limited chamber pressure exists at a certain thruster for the electrically driven pump system.Below this limit, the electrically driven pump system is lighter than the turbopump system.In addition, the limited chamber pressure increases with engine thruster increasing.Finally, in order to further reduce weight and increase efficiency of the electrically driven pump system, the main technologies of core components are analyzed and the development suggestions are put forward.
