Cryogenic pump test facility (CPTF) is designed and developed in KARI. Hydraulic and cavitation performance of pump and inducer in cryogenic environment can be measured. Working fluid is liquid nitrogen and operating temperature is $-197^{\circ}C$. Run tank, catch tank of liquid nitrogen and their pressurizing tank has been built and remote tank pressure control system are installed. Maximum power of driving motor is 320 kW and its maximum speed is 32000rpm. Cryogenic fluids and lubricating systems are effectively separated that long test times are acquired. Therefore hydraulic and cavitation performance can be measured accurately and effectively. Pre-cooling test of the facility was successfully accomplished. This facility will contribute greatly to the development of turbopump for KSLV.

A cryogenic test facility has been developed to perform inducer and pump tests using liquid nitrogen. Performance tests of a turbopump in the maximum 50ton-thrust class can be performed with cryogenic fluid in the facility which operates at a temperature around $-196^{\circ}C$ with the rotational speed up to 30,000rpm. To verify the reliability of the cryogenic pump test facility, hydraulic performance tests of an inducer were accomplished, and their results were compared with the result from a water test The results confirm the reliability of the cryogenic test facility, and it is expected to contribute for on-going development of a turbopump for liquid rocket engines.

액체질소를 작동유체로 한 극저온 시험설비를 이용하여 산화제펌프의 성능시험을 수행하였다. 설계회전수의 30~55%영역에서 시험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과를 작동유체로 물을 이용한 상온수류시험의 결과와 비교/분석하였다. 수력성능에 있어서는 회전수에 대한 상사성을 만족시킴으로써, 설계회전수인 20000rpm에서의 성능예측을 가능하게 했다. 펌프의 극저온 흡입성능에서는 설계유량에서 극저온 임계 캐비테이션 수가 0.012으로 나타났으며, 상온수류시험의 경우는 0.024를 보이면서, 모든 시험회전수와 시험유량영역에서 수류시험의 경우보다 향상된 결과를 보였다. 이러한 향상된 극저온 환경에서의 흡입성능은 극저온 유체에서 펌프의 열역학적인 효과로부터 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.
