Abstract

840,914. Generating combustion products under pressure. NAPIER & SON Ltd., D. Aug. 8, 1958 [May 16, 1957], No. 15668/57. Class 51 (1). [Also in Group XXVI] A rocket motor having two or more separate catalyst beds, for the decomposition of an oxidant such as hydrogen peroxide, arranged in line with and upstream of the combustion chamber, has means for causing the oxidant to flow in two or more divided parallel streams through the beds before entering the combustion chamber. The motor shown has two catalyst beds 10, 11 with a conical baffle 26 disposed between them. Hydrogen peroxide enters the motor by way of an annular gallery 23 and passes through an annular passage 25 surrounding the walls defining the nozzle 15, the throat 14 and the combustion chamber 13 to the upstream face of the upstream bed 10. Part of the hydrogen peroxide flows downstream through this bed, the decomposed products being deflected outwards by the baffle 26 to flow through the annular space 27 to the combustion chamber 13. The remainder of the hydrogen peroxide passes through the annular gap between the sleeve 18, to which the bed 10, is fixed and the tubular portion 19 of the burner 12 to reach and pass through the second catalyst bed 11 which is fixed to the portion 19, the decomposed product issuing through the channels 22 into the combustion chamber. Paraffin flows through the passage 28 to issue, through the channels 22, into the combustion chamber.
