Design and Test Evaluation of a High Temperature and Pressure Valve for Fuel Supply of High-Speed Vehicles

고속비행체 연료공급용 고온고압 밸브 설계 및 시험평가

A valve used in a high temperature and pressure condition for high-speed vehicle application was developed for fuel supply and cooling system. For weight reduction purpose, the size outline of valve was optimized based on its performance and operating environment. And the rigidity design was adopted by minimizing uses of sealing parts to prevent leakages. Also, A fluid analysis was performed to derive the optimized internal flow path design in consideration of minimized pressure drop. Finally, the valve performance was verified by installing the valve into the test equipment which enable to simulate endothermic fuel of high temperature in high-speed vehicle.

고속비행체의 연료 공급 및 냉각 시스템에 적용 가능한 고온고압 밸브를 개발하였다. 밸브 경량화를 위해 외형 사이즈를 최소화 하였고 씰(seal) 적용부를 최소화 하여 누설에 대한 강성 설계를 진행하였다. 또한 밸브 내 압력강하를 최소화하기 위해 유동해석을 통한 내부 유로를 설계하였고 최종적으로 고속비행체의 고온의 흡열연료를 모사하는 시험장비에 밸브를 설치하여 밸브 성능을 검증 하였다.
