Background

In order to study the distribution of the gas flow of the inner culvert and the outer culvert of the aero-engine and verify whether the performance of the aero-engine meets the design requirement, the flow of the outer culvert gas of the aero-engine needs to be accurately measured. Traditional aeroengine test bench can satisfy aeroengine to the air-intake heat, the pressurization demand, but can't satisfy the flow measurement demand of aeroengine outer culvert gas.

The measurement of the gas flow of the part can be realized in the test of the compressor part at present, and is mainly realized by directly collecting exhaust gas through an annular gas collecting device arranged at the outer side of the compressor part and measuring through a calibrated flowmeter. However, this component flow measuring device is not suitable for use in an engine tester, depending on the space and installation form of the engine tester.

The difference of the aeroengine bypass gas flow measurement compared with the requirement of the compressor part on bypass flow measurement is mainly represented as follows:

1. the space of a rack on the outer side of the engine is limited, the rack comprises a plurality of test leads, rack oil passages and engine external accessories, and the bypass gas is difficult to be directly collected by arranging a whole-ring gas collecting device, so that a special flow collecting device is required to ensure that the requirements of functions and space are met simultaneously;

2. because distribution of the air flow of the inner culvert and the outer culvert of the engine has certain relevance with the loss of exhaust, the working state of the aircraft engine is influenced, and the outer culvert air flow measuring system needs to have smaller air flow loss in the whole course so as to reduce the influence of the air flow measuring device on the maintenance of the normal working state of the aircraft engine as much as possible.

At present, a mature flow measurement technical scheme of external bypass gas of an aero-engine does not exist, the existing flow measurement scheme of the external bypass gas of the aero-engine part is mainly used for testing the aero-engine part, although the aim is to realize the flow measurement of the external bypass gas, the device is not suitable for the flow measurement of the external bypass gas of the aero-engine due to the fact that the working conditions, the installation interface, the layout space and the adjusting mode of the aero-engine part and the aero-engine whole machine are different.

The aperture d of the small holes of the designed exhaust silencing pipe is 35mm, the number of the holes is 600, the hole opening ratio (the ratio of the total area of the holes to the surface area of the hole opening cylinder) f of the silencer is 30%, and the value taking requirement of the hole opening ratio is met; the area ratio (the ratio of the opening area to the cross-sectional area of the pipeline) A =3 of the exhaust silencing pipe meets the design requirement that the ratio of the opening area to the cross-sectional area of the pipeline is not less than 180%.

The advantages and the beneficial effects brought by the application are that:

1. the branch pipeline for collecting the gas in the outer culvert of the aero-engine is a hard pipe, so that compared with a hose scheme, the weight of the branch pipeline can be reduced, and the branch pipeline can be supported through a gas collecting ring, so that a complex pipeline supporting structure is avoided;

2. the outer culvert gas collecting device and the outer culvert casing interface of the aero-engine adopt a soft connection scheme, so that the function of compensating relative displacement between the aero-engine and the measuring device under a working state can be realized, and the maximum advantage is that no force is transmitted between the device and the aero-engine, so that the structural strength of the aero-engine is not influenced;

3. the outer culvert gas collecting device adopts a variable-section gas collecting ring structure, and the channel section is designed according to a constant speed rule, so that the uniformity of the gas flow speed in different branch pipelines is ensured, and the influence of the device on the non-uniformity of the flow field in the aircraft engine is reduced;

4. the gas flow measuring device replaces a deformation compensation structure of a dynamic sealing ring by a structure for performing pipeline thermal deformation compensation by adopting bellows-type expansion joints on two sides of the test chamber, so that the problem of gas leakage caused by the structural clearance of the sealing ring is effectively reduced;

5. the tail part of the gas flow measuring device comprises an exhaust butterfly valve, and the flowing speed of a pipe system of the measuring device can be realized by controlling the exhaust area, so that the pipeline layout is ensured to have the characteristic of low flowing loss;

6. the gas flow measuring device adopts two kinds of flow meters of a Venturi and a uniform velocity tube to be connected in series for measurement, and the flow meters are calibrated mutually according to two measurement principles, so that higher flow measurement precision and reliability are ensured.

The aero-engine outer-content exhaust flow measurement system developed by the application obtains a test and debugging method for verifying key technologies of flow field matching, adjusting capacity, testing and testing, performance evaluation and the like of the aero-engine, accumulates test data, lays a solid foundation for subsequent verification machines and product development of military engines, and has important engineering application value for development and development of engines.
