The closed helium cycle is a critical factor affecting engine performance in the deeply precooled combined cycle engine. A steady-state performance calculation model based on the component-based method for deeply precooled combined cycle engine was established, and the impact of modifying control method for the closed helium cycle under identical steady-state control schedule was analyzed. Using the baseline control mode 1 as a reference, any two of the four variables: initial helium cycle temperature, initial pressure, adjustable guide vane of turbine 2 and helium mass in regulation system were selected as the degrees of freedom for adjustment, but due to system constraints, three feasible helium cycle control methods were finally proposed. The analysis of these control methods on maximum and throttling states revealed that, when the engine operated in the maximum state, control method 4 cannot be completed. If the maximum thrust was the target, control method 2 should be selected. If the target was to save hydrogen fuel or reduce the complexity of the helium circulation system, control method 3 should be selected. When performing throttling state operation, control method 1 had a deeper throttling, control method 2 was farther away from the surge boundary, and control method 3 had the highest fuel consumption rate.
