摘要:
The invention relates to the field of rocket engines, and specifically to a propulsion assembly (10) including a first tank (11), for a first liquid propellant, a second tank (12), for a second liquid propellant, a pressurisation device (60) configured to maintain a substantially higher pressure in the second tank (12) than in the first tank (11), and a single-shaft turbopump (30), including a turbine (33), a first pump (31) and a second pump (32). The turbine (33) is actuated by the expansion of the first propellant after passing through a regenerative heat exchanger (44), and in turn actuates, via the single rotary shaft (34) of the turbopump (30), said first and second pumps (31, 32), pumping said first and second propellants, respectively, in order to supply a thrust chamber (40).

The invention relates to a rocket engine (100), which includes an antechamber and combustion chamber (14), two supply lines (22A, 22B) for the engine, and two turbopumps (20A, 20B). The engine is a staged-combustion engine. A jet pump (102A, 102B) is arranged in at least a first supply line (12A, 12B). After being pressurized, a portion of the fluid circulating in the first supply line is directed towards the jet pump, so as to enable said pump to convey the fluid circulating in said first supply line to the intake of said first pump, thereby increasing the pressure at the supply port of the pump.

The invention relates to a propulsion assembly (1, 201) for a rocket, comprising a reservoir (2) configured to contain a propellant, an engine comprising a combustion chamber (9), a propellant supply line (11) that extends between the reservoir (2) and the combustion chamber (9) and on which a sectional valve (24) is positioned, and a heater (15) whereof an inlet is connected to the supply line (11) and an outlet is connected to the reservoir (2). The inlet of the heater comprises an inlet line (13a) connected to the supply line (11) downstream from the sectional valve (24) on the one hand and to a neutral fluid intake (31) on the other hand.
摘要:
The device comprises a primary heater (58) able to heat the propellant coming from the reservoir (16) before its reintroduction into its reservoir. The primary heater uses the combustion heat of the engine (10) and the device additionally comprises a secondary heater (66) of which the heat source is independent of the operation of the engine, the secondary heater being arranged downstream of the primary heater (58) to heat the propellant between its exit from the primary heater and its reintroduction into the reservoir. The device also comprises means (62) for pressurizing the propellant between the supply of the primary heater (58) and the return of the propellant to the reservoir.

The invention relates to a device for supplying a propulsion chamber (10) of a rocket motor (100) with a first and a second propellant. According to the invention, a first propulsion chamber (10) supply circuit (16) comprises a turbopump (22) with at least one pump (22a) for pumping the first propellant from a first tank (12) and a turbine (22b) mechanically coupled to said pump (22a). This first supply circuit connects an outlet of the pump to an inlet of the turbine through a heat exchanger (24) that is configured to heat the first propellant using heat generated by the propulsion chamber to drive the turbine. According to the invention, a second supply circuit (18) is configured to supply the propulsion chamber with a second propellant from a second tank (14) which is configured to be pressurized. The invention also relates to a method for supplying a rocket motor propulsion chamber with a first and a second propellant.
