Rocket tanks will start to do in Voronezh

30
The first Russian-made titanium balloons instead of Ukrainian ones will be released in December 2017. Spherical fuel tanks are used in the Angara and Proton missiles and the Breeze booster blocks. Production was planned to begin in 2015 at the Voronezh Mechanical Plant (VMZ), the delay is associated with the transition to new technologies. Until now, domestic rocket scientists use stocks of products previously purchased in Ukraine. According to experts, the production of the entire rocket and space technology will start without ballons.

Rocket tanks will start to do in Voronezh


At VSW, it was explained that it took two years to complete the processing of documentation for modern technologies.

The reason for the delay in the serial production of titanium ball-carriers is that they had to be developed practically from scratch. At the Voronezh Mechanical Plant, in fact, they re-worked through all the design and technological documentation. The basis was taken fundamentally different, promising technology of hot stamping, more advanced and productive, allowing to reduce the cost of the product
- told the press service of Vyksa.

From Soviet times, titanium balloon spheres for the Russian rocket and space technology were manufactured at the production association “Southern Machine-Building Plant” (Ukraine, Dnepropetrovsk). In the 2014 year, after the cooling of relations between Russia and Ukraine and the prohibition from both sides of cooperation on the rocket theme, it was decided to organize the production of a balloon in Voronezh, "News"

    Many years ago, these balloons were made by Ukrainians. And now there are Ukrainians.

    How many Ukrainians do you need to screw in a light bulb? Actually, one. But he will not screw it.
    Instead, Ukrainians will sit talking to each other about Muscovites who broke their light bulb,
    about Europe, which will give a better light bulb,
    and how sweet they will heal by twisting light bulbs in Poland. belay

    So you have to design from scratch and make these balloons in Russia

          It is clear why balloons were made of titanium under the Queen - then there was no durable fiberglass. It is clear why in the 90s and zero - they did not want to change what works, and they maintained relations with their neighbors.

                  1.all not remember
                  To increase the specific volume of pressurized gas and, consequently, reduce the weight of the system, a heat exchanger is often used, which significantly increases the efficiency of the pressurization system of tanks. To achieve the maximum efficiency of the pressurization system, it is necessary to increase the temperature of the gas (helium) at the exit of the heat exchanger, however, the helium temperature should be limited to prevent the destruction of the most heat-stressed elements of the pressurization system.


                  2.
                  The following pressurization systems exist:

                  - with gas pressure accumulator;

                  - Oscillators;

                  - gas generator;

                  - evaporative, with liquid pressure accumulator;

                  - with injection into the main tank;

                  - with polytropic expansion;

                  - with a powder pressure accumulator;

                  - with auxiliary pumping system.


                  There is a method of boosting the fuel tank with gaseous oxygen, which is formed as a result of evaporation of the fuel component in a special heat exchanger, for example, charging the oxidizer tank of the first stage of the Saturn-5 launch vehicle ...

              And HIS (liquid He) RARELY USE (almost never)
              To date, for boosting fuel tanks DU PH, using the fuel pair "oxygen and WG-1", hot helium found the greatest distribution.

              1 high cylinders pressure with helium placed in an 2 tank with liquid oxygen.The cylinders are connected by pipelines 3 with temperature compensators 4 with the help of automation elements 5 with a heat exchanger 6 engine located in the tail section. The heat carrier of the heat exchanger is, as a rule, the oxidizing generator gas taken after the turbine THA of the marching control unit. Next, heated helium through the 7 pipeline (usually laid inside the tank and without thermal insulation) with temperature compensators 8 is introduced into the free volume of the fuel tank 9.

              and vice versa (KB "Southern") is not 4 K, but 1000с + К
              for boosting the fuel tanks of the remote control of the MBRs, structurally simple (reliable) autonomous generator SN operating on the main components of the fuel were used, however, the gas temperature at the inlet to the tank, for example, the fuel reached 850 ° С.

                It is rarely used, but it is stored in a liquid or supercooled state. And then to store the right amount of gas would have to rather big such tanks. And, if I'm not mistaken, the pressure in these balloons with helium is about 350 atmospheres ... Yes, from 350 to 450 atmospheres.

                Special thanks for the scheme, drag myself. One moment: it is not clear how the oxidizer tank is pressurized. In pairs of a component in the tank itself?

But to create a car from scratch, especially since during the war it was hardly welcomed to use something complicated and expensive (your reliability and the main speed of creation were yours) - this is one thing. And here is the finished product, where the documentation - hundreds of kilograms, you need not only to look at it, but also adapt to new realities.
    Well, purely so, for example. The potter made his products (plates). The stove was gas. According to the documentation (technological), he would have to burn his plate for X minutes at the temperature of the furnace in XX citizens, which she gained in XXX minutes.
    And now he has not a gas, but an electric furnace (or something else). Changed (processed) technological documentation. And now he needs to burn the plate not for X minutes, but Y. Well, etc. Even changing and redoing documentation will take time. And what can we say for space components and technologies. It will take time and time. and not because someone slowed it down. Just the time.
    Sorry for the rude example of a potter. But this is usually more clear.
