Abstract
Integrated Vehicle Fluid (IVF) system is a promised energy management system for cryogenic upper stage. The power unit of IVF is hydrogen-oxygen internal combustion engine (ICE) whose energy utilization is close to 100% in IVF system. The oxygen concentration of intake gas was gradually raised during ICE tests as a preliminary study. The power of hydrogen-oxygen ICE reaches 4 kW at 3000 r/min, which satisfies the power requirement of IVF system. At this time, the exhaust loss reaches 41.6%, the heat transfer loss is 35.9%, and the output power only accounts for 21.9%. The heat transfer loss shows a parabolic trend which first rises and then falls with increasing oxygen concentration. But the exhaust loss keeps growing with the increases in oxygen concentration and engine speed. It is significant for the design of regenerative cooling system and other subsystems in IVF system at specific engine speed.
