摘要: A distributed fuel module includes a fuel pressure vessel with a gas port and a fuel port, a hydraulic circuit breaker connected to the fuel port, and a gaseous circuit breaker. The gaseous circuit breaker is connected to the gas port, is fluidly coupled to the hydraulic circuit breaker through the fuel pressure vessel, and is cooperatively associated with the gaseous circuit breaker to isolate the fuel pressure vessel from a compressed gas header and a fuel header according to pressure differential within the hydraulic circuit breaker and pressure differential within the gaseous circuit breaker. Power modules and methods of controlling fuel flow in fuel modules are also described.

摘要: A method for detecting leakage at a fluid connection for a gas turbine fuel supply system is disclosed herein. The method includes closing a flow control valve at an upstream end of the fuel supply system and pressurizing the fuel supply system with a compressed medium via a compressed medium supply to a target pressure. The target pressure is less than a pressure threshold of a check valve that is disposed downstream from the compressed medium supply and upstream from a corresponding combustor of the gas turbine. The method further includes pointing a receiver portion of an ultrasonic detection device proximate to at least one tube fitting of the fuel supply system located between the flow control valve and a combustor which is fluidly coupled to the fuel supply system. Detection of an increase in sound level and/or the sound of popping at the tube fitting is indicative of a leak at the tube fitting.

摘要: In the preferred embodiment of the invention, a cooled bipropellant thruster 70 for controlling the on-orbit position and orientation of a spacecraft is provided. The cooled bipropellant thruster 70 uses a liquid fuel and liquid oxidizer. The liquid fuel is decomposed in a first chamber 72 with a catalytic bed of decomposition material 74 and produces at least one reaction gas, which flows to the second reaction chamber 90. The second reaction chamber 90 is heated by the reaction gas, but is cooled by liquid oxidizer flowing through cooling passages 92, 94, 98, and 102, which brings the oxidizer into a heat exchange relationship with the second reaction chamber 90. During the heat exchange relationship, heat is transferred from the second reaction chamber 90 to the oxidizer and the oxidizer transforms into a gas. The gaseous oxidizer is fed into a second reaction chamber 90 to secondarily react with the reaction gas.

摘要: A propulsion system in which pure hydrazine is used as the fuel for both a bipropellant rocket engine for high-thrust performance and in multiple monopropellant thrusters for station keeping and attitude control functions. Use of a common fuel for both modes of operation significantly reduces propellant weight and inert propulsion system weight for any given mission requirements, and therefore increases the payload that can be delivered to and maintained in a desired orbit. Further, for station-keeping, the monopropellant thrusters can be augmented in performance by employing either electrothermal or additional direct chemical energy, arc jet operation, or force field acceleration, to provide increased specific impulse values up to 2,000 seconds or higher.

摘要: A liquid propellant rocket engine includes a pump that is disposed along a central axis. The pump includes a purge system, a collection annulus in fluid communication with the purge system, and a drain. The collection annulus has an outer diameter wall, an inner diameter wall, and an end wall. The end wall defines an annular channel that has a channel depth that varies circumferentially. The drain opens to the collection annulus. At the drain, the annular channel has a lowest point at which the channel depth is maximum depth.

摘要: A novel approach provides a small satellite propulsion system that uses vapor to generate thrust for the small satellite. The vapor naturally sits on top of liquid propellant(s), which are stored within a propellant tank. The vapor may flow from the propellant tank and through a membrane to interact with a reacting surface to generate thrust.
