Abstract

Liquid rocket propulsion test facility should provide for the interface condition installed on the upper level system for the test article. In addition, safety provision should be provided to be ready for accident such as explosion which can be occurred during development stage. For this purpose infra-structures of test facilities must be constructed so that stable combustion test can be performed and be guard against accidents. In this article, various aspects for infrastructures of propulsion test facilities are investigated including architecture and civil engineering aspects, test stand, room arrangements, interfaces among facilities, fire-fighting facilities, electrical power facilities.

액체로켓 추진기관 시험설비는 시험대상체가 상위 시스템에 장착되었을 때의 인터페이스 조건을 모사하여야 하며, 시험 시 파손이 발생할 수 있는 개발품의 특성상, 안전하게 시험이 이루어질 수 있게 구축되어야 한다. 이를 위해 추진기관 시험설비 기반시설은 안정적인 연소가 이루어지고 사고 시에도 안전이 보장되도록 구축되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 액체로켓 엔진 추진기관 시험설비 기반시설의 구축 및 운영 시 고려해야 할 사항에 대해, 토목/건축, 시험 스탠드, 설비의 배치, 타 설비와의 운영 조합 및 공동구, 소화설비, 전력설비 측면에서 고찰하였다.
