Electrodynamic actuators for rocket engine valves

Actuators, employed in acoustic loudspeakers, operate liquid rocket engine valves by replacing light paper cones with flexible metal diaphragms. Comparative analysis indicates better response time than solenoid actuators, and improved service life and reliability.

Fiet, O.↗

Zero-leakage valves

Valve action confines polymeric material in a metal groove effecting seal by compressive reaction of the polymer. As cold flow does not occur, sealing material resiliency is preserved over numerous operations.

Salvinski, R. J.↗

Dynamic valve to supply constant total thrust to two orifice jets

Valve, maintaining constant total flow, is driven mechanically in periodic alterations to yield correspondingly periodic outputs of constant sum. Design is applicable to development of jet flaps for helicopter use and may be useful in a multinozzle system.

Egli, W. H.↗

Micro regulating ball valve

Ball valve of simple, rugged configuration overcomes leakage because there are no critical wear areas. Design has stable and precise calibration. Device can be assembled or disassembled in seconds and needs no lubrication.

Hawkins, J. W.↗

Combination pressure regulator and safety valve: A Concept

Device for regulating high pressure liquefied gas to high pressure vapor generator using liquid oxygen is described. System includes pressure regulation and safety valve features. Construction of the equipment and method of operation are presented.

Acres, R. L.↗

High-volume pressure relief valve

Valves with counterweights to assist in opening and closing are described, which can release large volumes of gas almost instantaneously, and provide airtight seals.

Dillard, W. H.↗

The design and development of a miniature bi-stable latching solenoid valve for low thrust resistojets

The design approach and development demonstration are presented for a flightweight, miniature, magnetic latching shutoff valve, suitable for use with the ruggedized H2 and NH3 resistojet and the biowaste resistojet. The design criteria established provided for compatibility with specified ruggedized resistojet propellants as well as the biowaste and other propulsion system propellants.
