초록

밸브 입구 압력 변화에 따른 액체로켓엔진용 연소기 산화제 개폐밸브의 개방 특성에 대해 시험을 통한 연구를 수행하였다. 연소기 산화제 개폐밸브의 포핏 방식 밸브 특성에 의해 밸브 입구 압력이 상승함에 따라 밸브 개방에 필요한 구동압력은 선형적으로 증가하며, 밸브 행정 시간은 감소하게 된다. 하지만 밸브 입구 압력 상승으로 밸브 개방 구동압력 도달까지의 시간이 길어져 전체적인 밸브 개방 시간이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 결국 밸브 입구 압력이 증가할수록 밸브 행정 시간의 감소량은 미미해지며 밸브 개방에 필요한 구동압력에 도달하는데 필요한 시간이 밸브 개방 시간을 좌우한다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 밸브 구동부에 대한 설계를 통해 밸브 개방 시점의 밸브 입구 압력과 연소기로의 순간적인 산화제 공급량을 조정할 수 있다.

Opening characteristics of a main oxidizer shut-off valve at different valve inlet pressures have been experimentally investigated. The pilot pressure at the moment of the valve opening increases linearly with increasing the valve inlet pressure and the increased pilot pressure reduces the valve travel time. As the pilot pressure increases at the moment of valve opening, the time to start opening the valve is delayed resulting in increasing the valve opening time. With the increment of the valve inlet pressure, the valve opening time is mainly determined by the time required for the pilot pressure to start opening the valve. Therefore the design of a pilot gas supply system can readily control the valve inlet pressure at the valve opening as well as the amount of oxidizer supplied to a combustion chamber during the engine startup.
