Abstract
Liquid rocket engines of KSLV-II employ a turbopump feed system for propellants. A turbopump real-propellant test facility based on liquid oxygen and kerosene has been constructed for the experimental verification of the turbopump performance using the real media of propellants(i.e., LOX/Kerosene). The verification tests of sub-systems were performed such as LOX/kerosene feed system and alcohol burner system. Finally, the performance of the whole system was executed and verified through a sets of validation tests with the development model of the KSLV-II turbopumps. It has been confirmed that the test facility satisfies the operating conditions and time of the turbopump at the design and off-design performance test using real-propellant.
