Abstract

Failure analysis and heat-resistant were performed for an electric fuel pump that is installed in the fuel tank to transfer fuel to the engine of combat vehicles. The fuel pump with a DC motor was disassembled and inspected to determine the cause of failure. The failure phenomenon was classified into three categories based on observations of the inside of the housing: burnt winding, quick brush abrasion, and fuel leak into the pump. Based on the inspection results, it was estimated that overheating was the main cause of failure. The thermal test was conducted under the no-load condition in 24 hours, and the thermal sensor was installed on the stator surface and the brush holder to check the possibility of damage to the winding due to overheating. When the ambient temperature of the fuel pump was set to 68 ℃, the stator temperature increased to 135.9 ℃, and the winding of the motor was almost damaged. The test results confirmed the lack of heat resistance of fuel pump windings, and suggested that the type F of insulation class (below 155 ℃) of the windings and varnish should be replaced with type C or higher that can be used above 180 ℃.

전투차량의 연료탱크에 설치되어 엔진으로 연료를 이송하는 장치인 전기식 연료펌프에 대하여 고장분석과 내열성능 평가가 수행되었다. 고장의 원인을 파악하기 위하여 직류 전동기가 적용된 연료펌프를 분해하여 검사를 수행하였다. 하우징 내부를 관찰한 결과를 바탕으로 고장 현상을 권선 소손, 브러시 조기 마모, 연료 혼입의 세 가지로 분류하였다. 연료펌프 내부 검사를 실시한 결과를 바탕으로, 과열에 의한 권선 소손을 고장을 발생시킨 주된 원인으로 추정하였다. 이에 따라서 전기식 연료펌프의 권선이 과열로 소손될 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 온도 센서를 고정자 표면과 브러시 홀더에 설치한 후 무부하 조건으로 24시간동안 가동을 실시하였다. 연료펌프의 주변 온도를 68 ℃로 설정하였을 때 고정자 온도는 최대 135.9 ℃까지 상승하였으며, 전동기의 고정자 및 회전자 권선이 소손되었다. 이 결과를 통해서 전기식 연료펌프를 위한 전동기 권선의 내열성능이 부족함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이를 해결하기 위하여 현재 155 ℃ 이하에서 사용할 수 있는 절연등급 F종의 권선 및 함침액을 180 ℃ 이상에서도 사용할 수 있는 C종 이상의 절연등급으로 대체하도록 제안하였다.
