Abstract
853,495. Generating combustion products under pressure. BARKER, A. Sept. 15, 1958 [Sept. 13, 1957], No. 28841/57. Class 51 (1). [Also in Group XXVI] In a liquid propellant type of rocket, the combustion chamber is cooled by means of liquid oxygen which is stored at its boiling point but which does not become gaseous when it comes into contact with the wall of the combustion chamber. The rocket motor shown comprises a combustion chamber 14 having a cooling jacket space 6 therearound. Liquid oxygen is supplied from an inlet 3 to the first stage 2 of the pump 1 where its pressure, is increased to about 350 lb. per square inch, the liquid then passing to the second stage 5 where its pressure is increased to about 700 1b. per square inch. The high-pressure liquid oxygen then flows through duct 9 to the combustion chamber cooling space 6, being discharged therefrom as a liquid through duct 10. A portion of the liquid then passes through an expansion valve 11 to a gas and liquid separator 12. The gaseous oxygen discharges through duct 15 and into the combustion chamber 14 through nozzles 16, 17 where it takes part in the oombustion process. Liquid oxygen from the separator 12 flows through duct 13 into which liquid oxygen from the first stage 2 of the pump 1 is discharged and then passes through the second stage 5 of the pump and thence as described above. The second portion of the liquid oxygen from the duct 10 flows through duct 18 where it divides, some flowing through duct 19 to the nozzle 16 where it is atomized by gaseous oxygen flowing through duct 15 to the rocket combustion chamber 14. The remainder of the liquid oxygen flowing through duct 18 enters the auxiliary combustion chamber 20 to which fuel is also supplied through duct 24 and nozzle 23. Combustion gases from the auxiliary chamber 20 are utilized to drive the turbine 7 and finally discharge through duct 21 into'the rocket combustion chamber 14. The turbine 7 drives the liquid oxygen pump 2, 5 also the fuel pump 8, a portion of the fuel from the pump passing to the auxiliary combustion chamber 20, the remainder flowing through duct 25 and nozzle 17 to the rocket combustion chamber.
