Description
- This invention was made with Government support under contract NNM07AB03C awarded by NASA. The Government has certain rights in the invention.
- The present invention relates to aerospace systems, and more particularly to an oil cooling arrangement for an aerospace system, as well as a method of cooling oil.
- A large number of applications require cooling of various system fluids, such as oil, for example. One application relates to a space launch vehicle that requires a power source for an engine thrust vector control system. Currently, the power source utilizes a hot gas, such as hydrazine, to drive a turbine that provides mechanical rotating power to a hydraulic pump, generator or other power conversion device. Transmission of this power typically results in heat generation within the power device due to mechanical efficiency losses. In applications having operating durations exceeding several minutes or hours, heat generation must be managed to avoid system failure. Efforts to effectively manage the heat generation are complicated by the requirement that the power device must operate in a space vacuum operating environment. One prior effort to manage the heat included utilizing an external water spray boiler to achieve heat dissipation, but a specialized heat exchanger, controller and an on-board source of water are all required. Such a complicated system inherently imposes several undesirable effects, including additional weight and reduced efficiency of the overall system.
- According to one embodiment, an oil cooling arrangement includes a first manifold. Also included is a second manifold, wherein the first manifold and the second manifold are each configured to route an oil. Further included is a first tube having a first end proximate the first manifold and a second end proximate the second manifold, wherein the first tube is configured to receive the oil and route the oil toward the second manifold. Yet further included is a second tube having a third end proximate the second manifold and a fourth end proximate the first manifold, wherein the second tube is configured to route the oil from the second manifold toward the first manifold. Also included is a turbine exhaust path configured to route an exhaust flow, wherein the first tube and the second tube are disposed along the turbine exhaust path, wherein the oil is cooled upon passage of the exhaust flow over the first tube and the second tube.
- According to another embodiment, a method of cooling oil is provided. The method includes supplying an oil to a first manifold of an oil cooling arrangement. The method also includes routing the oil through a first tube from the first manifold to a second manifold, wherein the first tube is disposed in a turbine exhaust path. The method further includes routing the oil through a second tube from the second manifold to the first manifold, wherein the second tube is disposed in the turbine exhaust path. The method yet further includes flowing an exhaust flow through the turbine exhaust path and over the first tube and the second tube for cooling the oil routed therein.
- The subject matter which is regarded as the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification. The foregoing and other features and advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an oil cooling arrangement; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a cover member of the oil cooling arrangement; -
FIG. 3 is a side, elevational, cross-sectional view of the oil cooling arrangement; -
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the oil cooling arrangement; and -
FIG. 5 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of cooling oil. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , anoil cooling arrangement 10 is generally shown. Theoil cooling arrangement 10 is in fluid communication with a system requiring anoil 12. Theoil cooling arrangement 10 is configured to manage the temperature of theoil 12 that is commonly heated due to heat dissipation associated with operation of the system. Theoil cooling arrangement 10 is operatively coupled to a power device, such as aturbine system 14 that provides mechanical rotating power to a hydraulic pump, generator or other power conversion device. Theoil cooling arrangement 10 and theturbine system 14 may be integrated with various applications, but in one embodiment theoil cooling arrangement 10 and theturbine system 14 are employed in conjunction with an aerospace application. More particularly, it is contemplated that a space launch vehicle operating in vacuum in space may benefit from theoil cooling arrangement 10 described herein. - The
turbine system 14 includes at least oneturbine nozzle 16 configured to distribute apropellant fuel 18 to theturbine system 14. In an exemplary embodiment, thepropellant fuel 18 is a cold gas, such as helium or hydrogen gas, for example. Irrespective of the precise fuel employed, thepropellant fuel 18 drives aturbine wheel 20 and the mechanical power is converted to a desired power type. Subsequent to passing over and driving theturbine wheel 20, the propellant fuel 18, and any air mixed therewith, is routed through anexhaust housing 22 as anexhaust flow 24. The interior region defined by theexhaust housing 22 is referred to as aturbine exhaust path 26. The illustrated embodiment is shown with ashipping port cover 28 proximate anexhaust outlet 30. By employing the cold gas in the space vacuum environment, theexhaust flow 24 passing through theturbine exhaust path 26 is cold, relative to temperatures of operating environments for adjacent components and systems, such as a component or system employing theoil 12 described above. In one embodiment, the temperature of theexhaust flow 24 ranges from about −100° F. (about −73° C.) to about −200° F. (about −129° C.). - The
oil cooling arrangement 10 is operatively coupled at a plurality of locations with theturbine system 14. Specifically, theoil cooling arrangement 10 is at least partially disposed within theturbine exhaust path 26 and coupled at an interior location of theexhaust housing 22. Additionally, as illustrated, theoil cooling arrangement 10 is coupled to anexterior surface 32 of theexhaust housing 22, such as with a plurality ofmechanical fasteners 34. Theoil cooling arrangement 10 comprises a plurality oftubes 36 predominantly or fully disposed within theexhaust housing 22 along theturbine exhaust path 26. In one embodiment, the plurality oftubes 36 comprises a first tube 38, asecond tube 40, a third tube 42 and afourth tube 44. Each of the plurality oftubes 36 extends between and is fluidly coupled with afirst manifold 46 and asecond manifold 48 at respective ends of each of the plurality oftubes 36. Thefirst manifold 46 is operatively coupled to theexhaust housing 22 and is disposed proximate theexhaust housing 22. In the exemplary embodiment, thefirst manifold 46 is disposed partially or fully at an exterior region to theturbine exhaust path 26. Integrally formed with, or operatively coupled to, thefirst manifold 46 is acover member 50 that includes aninlet 52 and anoutlet 54 for receiving and expelling theoil 12 relative to theoil cooling arrangement 10. Thesecond manifold 48 is disposed fully within theturbine exhaust path 26 and is operatively coupled to theturbine system 14 therein. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , thecover member 50 is illustrated in greater detail with a portion cutaway for clarity. As noted above, thecover member 50 is integrally formed with, or operatively coupled to, thefirst manifold 46. Theoil 12 is initially received by theoil cooling arrangement 10 via theinlet 52 from a supply (not illustrated). Theinlet 52 is fluidly coupled to thefirst manifold 46, which is configured to route theoil 12 to at least one, but typically a plurality of tubes configured to route theoil 12 from thefirst manifold 46 to thesecond manifold 48. In the exemplary embodiment, theoil 12 is split and routed to the first tube 38 and the third tube 42. Theinlet 52 is also fluidly coupled to theoutlet 54 by an oilcooling arrangement bypass 56 configured to divert theoil 12 from routing through the plurality oftubes 36 of theoil cooling arrangement 10. Diversion of theoil 12 is selectively controlled with athermal control valve 58 that is moveable between a first position and a second position. The first position corresponds to a fully open position that opens the oilcooling arrangement bypass 56, thereby causing theoil 12 to be diverted to theoutlet 54. Bypassing theoil cooling arrangement 10 is desirable at operating temperatures that do not require cooling of theoil 12. In one embodiment, thethermal control valve 58 is in the fully open position at temperatures less than and equal to about 250° F. (about 121° C.). As the temperature of the operating environment begins to rise, thereby requiring cooling of theoil 12, thethermal control valve 58 transitions toward the second position. The second position corresponds to a fully closed position that closes the oilcooling arrangement bypass 56, thereby causing theoil 12 to be routed to the plurality oftubes 36 of theoil cooling arrangement 10. In one embodiment, thethermal control valve 58 is in the fully closed position at temperatures greater than and equal to about 270° F. (about 132° C.). - Integrally formed with the
thermal control valve 58 is apressure relief valve 60 that detects a pressure within passages of theoil cooling arrangement 10. Thepressure relief valve 60 is configured to alter the cross-sectional area of one or more passages proximate theinlet 52 and/oroutlet 54, thereby increasing the volumetric flow rate of theoil 12 in the event of a partial blockage due to oil clotting or the like. In one embodiment, thepressure relief valve 60 initiates relief at about pressure differential of about 25 psid (about 172 kPa differential). - Referring now to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , theoil cooling arrangement 10 is shown in greater detail. As indicated by the arrows representing the direction of flow of theoil 12, it can be appreciated that thesecond tube 40 and thefourth tube 44 are shown from the illustrated side, while the first tube 38 and the third tube 42 are hidden from view. Similarly, theoutlet 54 is illustrated, while theinlet 52 is hidden. As described in detail above, theinlet 52 routes the oil to thefirst manifold 46 for splitting of theoil 12 into the first tube 38 and the third tube 42. Upon reaching thesecond manifold 48, theoil 12 is directed to thesecond tube 40 and thefourth tube 44. Specifically, thesecond manifold 48 includes a firstfluid path 62 fluidly coupling the first tube 38 and thesecond tube 40, as well as a secondfluid path 64 fluidly coupling the third tube 42 and thefourth tube 44. Within thesecond tube 40 and thefourth tube 44, theoil 12 is routed from thesecond manifold 48 toward thefirst manifold 46 and is subsequently expelled via theoutlet 54. - While flowing through the plurality of
tubes 36, which are disposed within theturbine exhaust path 26, theoil 12 is cooled due to heat transfer associated with theexhaust flow 24 passing over anouter surface 68 of the plurality oftubes 36. As described above, theexhaust flow 24 is relatively cold and is therefore suitable for cooling of theoil 12 flowing within the plurality oftubes 36. To enhance the heat transfer to the plurality oftubes 36 from theexhaust flow 24, a plurality offins 70 extend outwardly from theouter surface 68 of the plurality oftubes 36 to increase the surface area in contact with theexhaust flow 24. To further ensure adequate cooling of theoil 12, at least onerod 72 is disposed within each of the plurality oftubes 36 to form anannulus 76 through which theoil 12 flows. Formation of theannulus 76 causes theoil 12 to flow through the plurality oftubes 36 at regions in close proximity to aninner surface 78 of the plurality oftubes 36, thereby increasing the beneficial cooling effects of theexhaust flow 24. Additionally, therod 72 includes a machined surface that may include various features to increase turbulence of the oil flow, thereby enhancing cooling of theoil 12 while flowing within theannulus 76. Specifically, the machined surface of therod 72 may include a knurled surface, for example. - A method of cooling
oil 100 is also provided, as illustrated inFIG. 5 and with reference toFIGS. 1-4 . Theoil cooling arrangement 10 and the associatedturbine system 14 have been previously described and specific structural components need not be described in further detail. The method of coolingoil 100 includes supplying 102 an oil to a first manifold of an oil cooling arrangement. The oil is routed through afirst tube 104 from the first manifold to a second manifold, wherein the first tube is disposed in a turbine exhaust path. The oil is routed through asecond tube 106 from the second manifold to the first manifold, wherein the second tube is disposed in the turbine exhaust path. The method also includes flowing anexhaust flow 108 through the turbine exhaust path and over the first tube and the second tube for cooling the oil routed therein. - Advantageously, the
oil cooling arrangement 10 and the method of coolingoil 100 simplifies the heat exchanger structure with higher reliability by enhancing the cooling capability of the structure. Additionally, elimination of an on-board water source that constitutes unnecessary mass is achieved. The reduction in mass provides the opportunity to increase payload mass or reduce fuel consumption. - While the invention has been described in detail in connection with only a limited number of embodiments, it should be readily understood that the invention is not limited to such disclosed embodiments. Rather, the invention can be modified to incorporate any number of variations, alterations, substitutions or equivalent arrangements not heretofore described, but which are commensurate with the spirit and scope of the invention. Additionally, while various embodiments of the invention have been described, it is to be understood that aspects of the invention may include only some of the described embodiments. Accordingly, the invention is not to be seen as limited by the foregoing description, but is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.
