| 内容記述 | The testing and performance evaluation of a liquid hydrogen turbopump with the rotor supported by foil bearings is discussed. The objectives of the program were to demonstrate the long-life feature of a foil-bearing turbopump and to evaluate its operational characteristics. The demonstration has successfully shown the reliability, long life, and robust nature of foil-bearing turbopumps by operating for long periods of time, with many start and stop cycles and a wide speed range. It has also proven that foil-bearing turbopumps can start without total chilldown of the foil bearing, offering operational simplicity. |
