备注

针对火箭飞行工作中高空发动机燃料主管路系统防热罩存在热防护能力不足的问题,开展了高空羽流条件下的仿真计算和分析,依据温度计算值确定了防热罩紧固件在高温下抗拉伸强度低,在较高拧紧力矩条件下存在锌、镉脆断裂的薄弱环节,从而导致防热罩脱落。防热罩脱落后其内充填的隔热包覆材料被羽流吹落,燃料主汽蚀管连接法兰直接暴露在高温羽流环境中,高温导致法兰连接及密封失效从而产生燃料泄漏。针对防热罩热防护设计中存在的薄弱环节完成了设计改进,采用头锥形防热罩、高温合金材料的紧固件和多层耐高温隔热材料捆扎包覆等设计改进方案后,经过了高温、振动、地面发动机热试车和飞行试验验证,未出现前述故障。

For the problem of insufficient thermal protection capability of the heat shield of the main fuel pipeline in high altitude engine during the flight, simulation calculation and analysis under high-altitude plume conditions were carried out.Based on the calculated temperature, it is determined that the heat shield fastener has low tensile strength at high temperatures, and there are weaknesses of Zn-Cr brittle fracture under the condition of high tightening torque, which leads to the fall off of the heat shield.After the heat shield falls off, the insulation material inside the heat shield is blown off by the plume flow, and the connecting flange of main fuel venturi-tube is directly exposed to the high temperature plume environment, which leads to the failure of flange and seal, resulting in the fuel leakage.To improve the design of the heat shield, the cone-shaped heat shield, fastener of high temperature alloy material and multi-layer of high-temperature heat-resistant insulation material are adopted.These optimizations have been validated by the high temperature, vibration, ground and rocket flight tests.
