- the invention relates to Hall effect plasma thrusters implemented for the electric propulsion of satellites.
- Hall effect plasma thrusters are essentially determined by the erosion of the ceramic insulating channel under the effect of ion bombardment. Indeed, due to the topography of the electrical potential in the channel, part of the ions created is accelerated radially towards the walls.
- the extension of the missions of telecommunication satellites and the increase in plasma ejection speeds required (in particular for so-called high specific impulse thrusters) impose longer and longer lifetimes than ceramics can no longer satisfy. based on boron nitride.
- the high resistance to ion bombardment of certain electrically conductive or semi-conductive materials such as graphite makes them ideal candidates for the discharge channel of Hall effect thrusters.
- the discharge channels of the Hall effect thrusters currently consist of homogeneous insulating ceramic, usually based on boron nitride and silica (BN-SIO 2 materials ). Boron nitride ceramics allow Hall effect thrusters to achieve high performance in terms of efficiency, but exhibit high erosion rates under ion bombardment that limit the life of the propellants to about 10,000 hours as well. as their operation at higher specific impulses.
- the present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and in particular to increase the life of the Hall effect plasma thrusters while maintaining a high energy efficiency.
- a Hall effect plasma thruster comprising a main annular ionization and acceleration channel having an open downstream end, at least one cathode, an annular anode concentric with the annular channel.
- main a pipe and a distributor for supplying ionizable gas to the channel and a magnetic circuit for creating a magnetic field in said main annular channel, characterized in that the main annular channel comprises internal and external annular wall portions located at the adjacent said open end each comprising an assembly of conductive rings or semiconductor juxtaposed in the form of lamellae separated by thin layers of insulation.
- each conductive or semiconductor ring is divided into segments arranged in angular sectors and isolated from each other.
- each conductive or semiconductor ring is arranged in staggered relation to the segments of neighboring conductive or semiconductor rings.
- the thin insulating layers are disposed on all sides of a conductive or semiconductor ring with the exception of the face defining a portion of the inner wall of the main annular channel.
- the assembly of conductive or semiconductor rings may extend over a length of the inner and outer annular walls less than the total length of the main annular channel.
- the conductive or semiconductor rings are made of graphite whereas the thin insulating layers are made of dielectric material and in particular of pyrolytic boron nitride.
- the thickness of the conductive or semiconductor rings is of the order of the electronic Larmor radius. Their maximum thickness a is estimated by the following expression: a ⁇ - r, where is the Larmor radius of the electrons, as well as a condition that determines the azimuth angle of cut:
- R. has ⁇ 5abs ⁇ - ⁇ .r with:
- the conductive or semiconductor rings have a thickness of between 0.7 and 0.9 mm while the thin insulating layers have a thickness of between 0.04 and 0.08 mm.
- a pseudo-insulating discharge channel is made from a stack of rings or portions of rings made of a conductive or semiconductor material and covered with a thin layer of insulating ceramic.
- the invention thus optimizes the structure of the discharge channels of the Hall effect plasma thrusters by implementing a partitioning of conducting or semiconducting walls into segments. isolated small dimensions which results in a sharp decrease in the short-circuit current which avoids a significant loss of efficiency.
- the propulsion of telecommunication satellites is associated with strong economic stakes and the improvements that can be made to Hall effect plasma sources - currently recognized as the best performing for station keeping - are of great interest.
- the present invention responds directly to the trend of increased mission times required of geostationary satellites by improving the longevity of Hall effect plasma thrusters.
- the present invention also makes it possible to operate thrusters with higher specific pulses (Isp) while maintaining a significant service life. It can therefore provide a significant competitive advantage of Hall effect plasma thruster propulsion.
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a Hall effect plasma thruster to which the invention is applicable
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a quarter of a discharge channel with laminated structure according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a proposed variant and is a perspective view of the assembly of the laminated structure of a discharge channel of a Hall effect plasma thruster according to the invention
- FIG. 3A shows a proposed variant; and is an enlarged detail view of a segment of conductive or semiconductor material covered with insulating deposits used in the laminated structure of FIG. 3, and
- FIG. 3B is a section along line IIIB-IIIB of Figure 3A. Detailed description of preferred embodiments
- FIG. 1 shows an example of a Hall effect plasma thruster, also known as a stationary plasma thruster (PPS), to which the invention is applicable and which can be used in particular for the electric propulsion of satellites.
- PPS stationary plasma thruster
- a magnetic circuit 131 to 136 for creating a magnetic field in the main annular channel a magnetic circuit 131 to 136 for creating a magnetic field in the main annular channel.
- the anode 125 and the ionizable gas distributor can inject the fuel (such as xenon) into the propellant and collect the electrons from the plasma discharge.
- the fuel such as xenon
- the hollow cathode 140 has the function of generating the electrons which allow the creation of a plasma in the propellant and the neutralization of the jet of ions ejected by the propellant.
- the magnetic circuit comprises an internal pole 134, an external pole 136, a magnetic yoke connecting the internal 134 and outer 136 poles, with a central ferromagnetic core 133 and peripheral ferromagnetic bars 135, one or more coils 131 arranged around the central core 133 and coils 132 arranged around the peripheral bars 135.
- the magnetic circuit allows the confinement of the plasma and the creation of a strong magnetic field E at the output of the thruster which allows the acceleration of the ions up to speeds of the order of 20 km / s.
- the discharge channel 120 allows the confinement of the plasma and its composition determines the performance of the propellant.
- the discharge channel 120 is ceramic.
- the thrust of the engine is ensured by the ejection of a jet of ions at high speed.
- this jet being slightly divergent, the collision of high energy ions with the channel wall leads to erosion of the ceramic output of the propellant.
- the discharge channel 120 comprises at least a portion 127 of the inner annular wall and at least a portion 128 of the outer annular wall, located in the vicinity of the open end 129 of the channel, which are not made of solid ceramic, but which each comprise an assembly of conductive rings or semi-conductors 150 juxtaposed in the form of lamellae separated by thin insulating layers 152 (see Figure 2).
- the object of the invention is to significantly reduce the erosion of the thruster discharge channel. It also reduces energy losses and discharge instabilities that usually affect Hall effect thrusters using a discharge channel of electrically conductive or semiconductor material.
- the invention makes it possible at the same time to reduce the erosion of the channel and to reduce the instabilities of discharge.
- the discharge channel 120 of a plasma thruster can thus comprise both a traditional upstream ceramic part with a bottom wall 123 and outer cylindrical walls 121 and internal 122 and a downstream part located between the part upstream and the opening 129 and comprising outer cylindrical walls 128 and internal 127 with a laminated structure composed of juxtaposed conductive or semi-conducting rings 150, which are insulated by thin layers of insulator 152 but have an uncoated surface 151 internal side of the annular channel 120.
- the rings 150 are furthermore positioned in a plurality of isolated angular sections each extending over an angular sector ⁇ (FIGS. 3 and 3A). For example, it is possible to have between 10 and 30 segments 150a, 150b in each ring 150.
- the segments 150a of a conductive or semiconductor ring 150 are arranged in staggered relation to the segments 150b of the neighboring rings 150 (FIG 3).
- the thin insulating layers 152, 153, 154, 155 are disposed on all the faces of a segment of a conducting or semi-conducting ring 150 with the exception of the face 151 defining a portion of the inner wall of the main annular channel 120.
- the assembly of conductive rings 150 extends over a length of the inner and outer annular walls of between 20 and 50% and preferably between 30 and 40% of the total length of the main annular channel 120. but this range of values is not limiting.
- the sizing of the conductive or semiconductor rings 150 can be established from the calculation of the electronic currents received and emitted by the walls. As a first approximation, it can be shown that the short-circuit current flowing in the walls is proportional to the ionic current collected, which at constant electronic temperature and plasma density is approximately proportional to the conductive surface in contact with the plasma.
- the potential difference seen by a conductive element is approximately proportional to its axial extent.
- all losses by Joule effect by short circuit of the plasma is approximately proportional to the thickness of the rings.
- the short-circuit current becomes negligible in the currents related to the secondary electronic emission (which are the only ones that exist in the case of an insulator) when the thickness of the rings is of the order of electronic Larmor radius. This defines the critical thickness of the rings to obtain a pseudo-insulating channel.
- the conductive rings 150 for example made of graphite with a low coefficient of expansion, may have a thickness of between 0.7 and 0.9 mm and typically of 0.8 mm.
- the thin insulating layers 152 to 155 can have a thickness of between 0.04 and 0.08 mm, typically 0.05 mm, and can be deposited on the segments of conductive rings. 150 by a chemical vapor deposition process so as to cover each ring segment over its entire surface except at the edge 151 in contact with the plasma.
