HIBEX LIQUID TVC SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND TEST,
Abstract
The HiBEX program had the purpose of investigating high acceleration, boost, and maneuver problems. The HiBEX requirements dictated advancement in the state of the art of high pressure liquid injection TVC systems having large flow rate and high response. Although some performance capabilities and parameters were available from limited experience on other programs, little directly applicable data for these requirements were available. This document describes the trade studies, laboratory tests and flight results associated with the development of the HiBEX liquid injection TVC system, including the injection valves, injectant storage tank and injectant feed system. The basic requirements were for a system to operate in a high g environment for a short duration with an overall system response of 25 cps and peak injectant flow rate of 200 lb/sec. The predicted TVC effectiveness was based on data from previous program results with optimization of the various parameters done by theory. The TVC system development involved a blowdown nitrogen pressurized Freon injection system having four control valves mounted on a toroidal titanium storage tank. (Author)
