Propellant Feed Valves for Starting and Control of Rocket Motors

Abstract

The type of valve described in this note has been designed to use the pressure in the feed system between the valve and the injector as the controlling medium. This allows automatic control of the valve and safe starting and operation of the rocket motor to be obtained with greater simplicity than in other types of valve hitherto known which are intended to fulfill the same purpose; the new valves also permit the use of a timing sequence for propellant control to be dispensed with. The principle of operation and the types already developed are described in full, with suggestions for further applications.
