  • Patent number: 8596039
    Abstract: The device for injecting a liquid mono-propellant with a large amount of modulation of its flow rate and disposed at an upstream end of the wall of a combustion chamber of a rocket engine has a feed channel for feeding a mono-propellant from a tank. The device includes a single annular speed-up channel connected to the feed channel and having its outlet opening out via an annular injection section, the speed-up channel and the annular injection section being defined firstly by a first wall forming a stationary surface of revolution situated level with said upstream end, and secondly by a second wall forming a surface of revolution that is on a part that is movable in translation relative to the first wall forming a stationary surface of revolution.

  • Patent number: 8347602
    Abstract: A liquid propellant rocket engine with a propulsion chamber shutter, the rocket engine comprises a combustion chamber, a propellant injector device placed at an upstream first end of the combustion chamber, a nozzle throat disposed at a downstream second end of the combustion chamber remote from the upstream first end, and a diverging portion disposed downstream from the nozzle throat. A selective shutter device for the nozzle throat comprises an axially-symmetrical shutter member placed downstream from the nozzle throat, and axial rod for controlling the shutter member, a first short centering member for the control rod situated at the upstream first end of the combustion chamber level with the propellant injector device, a second short centering member for the control rod situated in the combustion chamber in the vicinity of the nozzle throat and upstream therefrom, and a system for returning the control rod of the selective shutter device for the nozzle throat to the closed position.

  • Patent number: 8141338
    Abstract: The injector device for injecting a liquid mono-propellant with a large degree of flow rate modulation and an injection speed that is stable, and that is closable for extinction and re-ignition purposes, is disposed at an upstream end of the wall of a combustion chamber of a rocket engine. The device includes at least one feed channel for feeding mono-propellant from a tank, and first and second concentric annular speed-up channels connected to the feed channels and having outlets opening out respectively via first and second annular injection sections situated in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the chamber.
