摘要:

航空发动机滑油系统的精细化设计依赖于对关键部件工作性能的掌握,这其中包括影响轴承腔压力和滑油消耗的通风器。为研究航空发动机气动增压式离心通风器的流动与分离特性,通过数值仿真获得了设计参数对压差、分离效率和最小分离直径的影响规律,并定量评估了设计参数的敏感性。结果表明,提高转速能够在实现气动增压的同时提升分离效率、降低最小分离直径;转速为25 000 r/min、通风量为10 g/s时,进口压力比出口压力低2 700 Pa,分离效率可达99.5%。增大通风量将削弱通风器的气动增压效果,且不利于油滴的有效分离。调整叶片数量可使气动增压效果达到最佳,压差的最大变化量均可超过30%,然而叶片数量对分离效率和最小分离直径的影响较小。转速对压差和分离效率的影响较大,最小分离直径受通风量的影响最显著。此外,通风器的工作特性还受设计参数之间的交互影响,根据敏感性系数对设计参数进行合理匹配可以进一步提升工作性能。

Abstract:

The refined design of aero-engine oil systems relies on the mastery of the working performance of key components, including separators affecting the bearing chamber pressure and oil consumption. To study the flow and separation characteristics of a pressurized centrifugal separator, we obtain the effects of design parameters on pressure difference, separation efficiency, and the minimum separation diameter by numerical simulation, and quantitatively evaluate the sensitivity of design parameters. The results show that increasing the rotating speed can improve the separation and reduce the minimum separation diameter while increasing the airflow pressure. With rotating speed of 25 000 r/min, the air mass flow rate of 10 g/s, and the inlet pressure of 2 700 Pa lower than the outlet pressure, the separation efficiency can reach 99.5%. Increasing the air mass flow rate weakens the aerodynamic pressurization effect of the separator, and is not conducive to the effective separation of oil droplets. Adjusting the number of blades can achieve the best effect of aerodynamic pressurization, and the maximum variation of pressure difference can exceed by 30%. However, the number of blades has little effect on separation efficiency and the minimum separation diameter. The rotating speed has a significant influence on the pressure difference and separation efficiency, while the minimum separation diameter is most significantly affected by the air mass flow rate. In addition, the working characteristics of the separator are also affected by the interaction between the design parameters, and the reasonable matching of the design parameters according to the sensitivity coefficient can further improve the working performance.

Key words: pressurized centrifugal separator, pressure difference, separation efficiency, minimum separation diameter, sensitivity analysis
