STORABILITY DEMONSTRATION PROPELLANT FEED SYSTEMS

Abstract

This report presents the design, fabrication, testing, and delivery of Storable Prepackaged Propellant Systems (SPPS) for subsequent use in a storability investigation, by the Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory (AFRPL) , of a liquid rocket propellant feed system. Each of the twenty-three delivered systems consists of a 15 gallon propellant tank which contains either a Surface Force Orientation (SFO) device, or a Rolling Diaphragm (RD) positive expulsion device, along with one of three different pressurization subsystems. The subsystems include a Liquid Propellant Gas Generator (LPGG), a Solid Propellant Gas Generator (SPGG), or a Stored Gas Device (SGD). The systems were delivered to AFRPL, hermetically sealed, with their respective propellants; Mixed Hydrazine Fuel (MHF-5), Nitrogen Tetroxide (N2O4), or a third propellant; loaded in the propellant tanks.
