Efficiency characteristics of centrifugal turbopumps for a liquid rocket engine were investigated. Predicting the performance of pumps for a turbopump assembly test, the variation on pump efficiency by working fluids was analyzed from pump component tests. Water and liquid nitrogen (LN2) were used for the component test, kerosene (Jet A-1) and liquid oxygen (LOX) were adapted for the turbopump assembly (TPU) test as working fluids. Overall performance of the pumps was investigated covering design/off-design operating points and the pump efficiency on the environment of real media (LOX/kerosene) could be modified from the pump component tests.

Pumps are used widely in feed water, cooling & heating system and process line of industrial and construction fields. They consume nearly 20% of the each nation's total electrical energy. But The management of pump energy wasn't controlled well. Their loss of energy is huge if they have been operated at low efficiency. The first buying cost of pump is small compare to the power consumption of pump, so we can recommend the suitable replace time and best operating condition of parts and pump to measure the pump efficiency. Pump efficiency is usually measured according to the two methods which they are called thermodynamic method and traditional technique. And we measured the pump efficiency using two methods using potable pump efficiency measurement device and compared the results with the real performance curve offered from pump maker.

It is very difficult to accurately calculate efficiency of each accessory device constituting the pump system and pump efficiency by the Conventional efficiency measurement method only. Therefore, this study introduced the lastest Thermodynamic pump efficiency measurement method in the district heating pump system for the first time in Korea. As a result, data uncertainty was high by the Conventional method, but the pump and Hydraulic Coupling efficiency values applied the Thermodynamic and Conventional method parallel measurement data were able to derive meaningful results that verified the reliability and adequancy of the pump performance measurement method by performing complementary roles. In additon, as a result of applying the Thermodynamic method to the distirct heating pump system, despite the high temperature environment of up to 120 ℃, it was possible to verify the reliability of the Thermodynamic method, such as high stable data mesurement, and durability of the measurement equipment.

공기열원 히트펌프시스템의 문제점, 즉 열효율, 안정성, 착상에 대한 현황을 파악하고 이를 해결하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 열효율과 안정성을 위해 기존 시스템을 보완한 8행정 냉매사이클시스템 개발과 제어시스템의 개발을 통해 히트펌프 시스템의 효율을 2배 정도 증가시키고, 안정성을 높이며, 착상 문제를 최소화할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 공기열원 히트펌프시스템의 COP는 평균 5정도이고, 안정적으로 운용되는 외부 온도는 $-10^{\circ}C$에서 $55^{\circ}C$까지이다. 토출되는 온수의 온도는 $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$정도이다. 평균 제상시간은 1분 이내이다. 앞으로 개발해야 할 문제는 외부 온도 $-10^{\circ}C$ 이하지역에서 보조열원 없이 난방을 할 수 있고 친환경 냉매를 사용하며 COP가 7이상인 고효율 히트펌프시스템를 실용화하는 것이다.

To evaluate the hydraulic and cavitation performance of a fuel pump for a liquid rocket engine, performance tests of the pump, which consist of hydraulic tests and cavitation tests, were conducted in water environment with various condition. In the hydraulic tests, the head, efficiency and volute pressure distribution of the pump are found to follow the conventional similarity rule, whereas the secondary flow pressure shows a small deviation from the similarity rule. As the floating gap is constricted, the efficiency of the pump improves and the secondary flow pressure decreases. However, the inner diameter of bypass line orifice does not show clear relationship with the pump efficiency. In the cavitation tests, measurements of the head and the NPSH indicate that the pump shows better cavitation performance as the rotational speed of the pump increases.

최근 도시지역의 불투수율 증가로 인한 유역의 도달시간 감소와 첨두유출량이 증가함에 따라 내수침수 잠제 위험성이 증가하고 있다. 이에 우수배제 시스템의 수방능력 향상을 위한 빗물펌프장의 신설 및 증설에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 빗물펌프장의 신설 및 증설에는 건설부지 확보의 문제와 비용적인 문제 등의 현실적인 현계들이 있다. 따라서 기존에 설치되어 있는 빗물펌프장의 배수효율을 증대시킬 수 있다면 빗물펌프장의 신설 및 증설에 따른 과도한 예산지출을 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 빗물펌프장의 배수효율은 흡입부 내에서 발생하는 와류를 얼마나 잘 제어하느냐에 따라 크게 달라진다. 만약 흡입부 내에 강한 와류가 존재한다면, 흡입관 주위에서 선회류를 유발시켜 펌프 효율을 떨어뜨리는 원인이 된다. 따라서 펌프 운영 시 흡입부 내에서 발생하는 와류를 제어하기 위하여 와류발생 저감장치(Anti Vortex Device)를 설치하여 와류를 제어하는 방법을 이용하고 있다. 하지만 국 내외 빗물펌프장 설계기준에서 와류발생 저감장치에 대한 정량적인 효과는 제시되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry)를 이용하여 와류발생 저감장치가 펌프 흡수조에 설치되었을 때 흐름특성 및 와도분포 분석을 통해 와류발생 저감장치의 형태에 따른 효과를 정량적으로 분석하고자 한다. 그 결과 와류발생 저감장치를 설치 한 후 흐름개선효과를 확인하였다.

Carbon emission generated by energy issues is one of the major problems which all countries concern. The International Energy Agency recommends to improve 15-30[%] of energy efficiency than now. Government has pushed the domestic energy saving policies and incentives and penalties were also given in that direction. Pumps are widely used to transfer fluids and they consume at least 20[%] power of each nation. Their loss of energy is huge if they have been operated at low efficiency for long time. Low efficiency of these pumps is often due to incorrect design or degradation. Pump efficiency can be measured to estimate energy loss. If it is low, the pump may be repaired or replaced with new one. This paper introduces thermodynamic method to measure pump efficiency using only two kinds of sensors for temperature and pressure. It can calculate best efficiency point(BEP) of actual systems easily and fast. Its values were compared with the real performance curve provided by pump maker and we got almost similar performance curves from the repeated experiment.
