  • Publication number: 20160222919
    Abstract: A turbopump for a rocket engine includes a radial pump having a wheel with vanes in a central body that is essentially rotationally symmetrical. The central body includes two separate outflow areas for one propellant component of the rocket engine, where a first portion of the propellant component is conveyed through a first of the outflow areas into a rocket combustion chamber and a second portion of the propellant component is conveyed through a second of the outflow areas into a gas generator. The first outflow area and the second outflow area have different geometric dimensions such that the propellant component in the first outflow area can be provided at a first propellant throughput and at a first exit pressure that differ from a second propellant throughput and a second exit pressure of the second outflow area.
