Abstract

This paper discusses a series of procedures and results for designing the gear part of a fuel transfer pump for an aircraft, developed as an independent technology for the first time in Korea. A gear pump type is selected because the design requirements of the fuel transfer pump are met by a gear pump with a characteristics of less leakage inside than a vane pump with superior overall performance. The gear housing is designed with suitable clearance, considering the outer diameter of the gear, which is the main factor on which the flow can be determined. Additionally, the calculation of the required hydraulic and axial force for the motor to drive the fuel transfer pump was performed.

본 논문은 국내 최초로 독자기술로 개발된 항공기용 연료이송펌프의 기어부를 설계하는 일련의 절차 및 그 결과에 대한 것이다, 기어펌프 방식이 베인펌프 방식에 비하여 전반적 성능이 우월하고, 내부 누설이 소량으로, 연료이송펌프의 설계에 필요사항에 부합하여 이 방식이 선정되었다. 기어 하우징은 흐름을 결정하는 중요한 변수인데, 기어의 외경을 고려하여 적절한 여유공간을 갖도록 설계하였다. 아울러, 모터가 연료이송펌프를 구동하기 위해 필요한 공압 및 축동력 등도 계산하였다.
