Abstract

It was designed and tested at the design point that an oxidizer rich preburner for a staged combustion liquid rocket engine propelled by kerosene and LOx. The oxidizer rich preburner was designed as some of LOx injected from the mixing head was burned with kerosene and the rest of LOx injected from injection holes in the regenerative cooling chamber was vaporized by combustion gas. The preburner is operated at OF ratio of 60 and combustion pressure of 20 MPa. The Preburner has a honey-comb type mixing head with simplex swirl injectors, a turbulence ring improving combustion stability and uniformity of product gas temperature distribution, and a nozzle simulating the duct. With the combustion test results at the design point, the oxidizer rich preburner showed high combustion stability and uniformity of product gas temperature distribution.

케로신과 액체산소를 추진제로 하는 다단연소방식 액체엔진용 산화제 과잉 예연소기를 설계하여 설계점에서 연소시험을 수행하였다. 설계된 산화제 과잉 예연소기는 산화제 일부와 연료를 혼합헤드를 통해 연소실에 공급하여 연소시키고 나머지 산화제를 연소실 재생냉각채널을 거쳐 연소실 중앙의 분사공을 통해 연소실로 주입하여 기화시키는 형태로 최종적으로 연소압 20 MPa, 혼합비 60에서 작동한다. 혼합헤드에는 단일 와류형 분사기를 벌집형태로 배열하였으며 가스 온도 균일성 향상과 연소 안정성 향상을 위한 혼합링과 터빈까지의 배관을 고려한 노즐을 장착하였다. 설계점 연소시험에서 산화제 과잉 예연소기는 높은 연소 안정성과 생성가스의 균일한 온도분포를 보였다.
