Abstract

The supply of the liquid oxygen into a rocket combustor is simply controlled by the 'on' and 'off' positions of a main oxidizer shut-off valve. However, the partially opened position of a three-position valve can control and optimize the engine start transients by regulating the liquid oxygen flow rate during the start-up of the engine. In this paper, the design and performances of a three-position pneumatic poppet valve, which is intended to be employed in liquid rocket engines, have been presented.

액체로켓엔진용 연소기 산화제 개폐밸브는 단순 온 오프 개폐작동을 통해 연소기로의 산화제 공급 유무만을 제어하기 때문에, 산화제 공급 유량 조절을 통한 엔진 점화 시동 특성제어 및 최적화에 한계가 있는 반면에 2단계 개방 연소기 산화제 개폐밸브는 밸브의 부분 개방에 의해 산화제 공급 유량을 조절함으로써 엔진 점화 시동 특성을 제어할 수 있는 이점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 액체로켓엔진용 2단계 개방 연소기 산화제 개폐밸브 개발을 위한 기본 설계 내용과 함께 밸브 작동성에 관한 검증시험 결과를 소개하기로 한다.
