Abstract

Electric pump system is new technology for next generation propulsion unit. The system has simple structure which dose not need gas generator, injector and turbine and might better pump for low cost and low payload rocket. Therefore, this paper suggests conceptual design of electric-pump Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) which has 50 kW & 50,000 RPM for rocket. To satisfy the system's requirement, electromagnetic analysis is conducted for suitable inner and outer diameter of stator and rotor which uses 4000 Gauss cylinder magnet and Inconel 718 can to fix whole rotor. Futhermore, to confirm rotational vibration, rotordynamics analysis is conducted. By this analysis, Campbell diagram is printed. From the diagram, natural frequency could be determined for the only motor and dynamo meter test bench.

전기펌프시스템은 기존 터보펌프의 가스발생기, 구동기 및 터빈이 필요 없는 매우 간결한 구조를 갖고 있어 저가 소형 위성 발사체의 차세대 추진기관으로써 최근 주목받고 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 로켓엔진용 전기펌프 시스템의 가장 중요한 핵심부품인 영구자석 동기모터(PMSM)의 개발 및 발사체로의 적용 가능성을 파악하기 위하여 50 kW, 50,000 RPM의 성능을 가지는 전기모터에 대한 개념설계안을 도출하였다. 요구되는 전기모터의 성능을 만족시키기 위해서 전자기장해석을 수행하여 모터의 전체 외경과 회전자의 내경을 결정하였으며, 회전자는 4,000 가우스의 Sm2Co17 원통형 자석을 이용하여 Inconel 718 재료의 캔으로 체결하였다. 또한, 엔진구동시 모터 운전 영역에서의 회전 동역학적 안정성을 검증하기 위해서 회전체 동역학해석을 수행하였으며, Campbell 선도를 통하여 설계한 모터의 단품운전 뿐만 아니라 성능확인을 위한 Dynamo meter 운전 시에도 공진현상이 발생하지 않음을 해석적으로 확인할 수 있었다.
