Effect of throttle parameters on operating performance of thermodynamic vent system in liquid nitrogen tank
In order to investigate the pressure control behavior of cryogenic propellant tank and operating performance of thermodynamic vent system (TVS)
a set of high-efficiency cryogenic fluid storage platform with liquid nitrogen as storage medium was set up
to simulate the pressure variations of liquid oxygen tank under the operation of TVS. The single variable control method was used to carry out the experimental research
which concentrate on the pressure control of TVS in a liquid nitrogen (LN
2
) tank with different throttle rates and modes. The pressure
temperature variations and vent mass loss of LN
2
tank under different throttling parameters were analyzed. It was found that the duty rate of TVS decreases significantly with the increase of throttle rate
and the cooling capacity of the system is increased
which greatly reduces the TVS operating time. Based on the principle of reducing the working time and fluid mass loss
the optimal throttling ratio of TVS is obtained. On the other hand
the throttle opening has a remarkable influence on the cooling power of TVS
the large pressure difference helps to improve the cooling power.
