TRANSPIRATION COOLED NOSETIP FLOW CONTROL DEVICE

SPECTRA-FLOW, INC. PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A FLOW CONTROL DEVICE TO DELIVER FLUID FLOW TO A TRANSPIRATION COOLED NOSETIP. THE FLOW RATE WOULD BE BASED ON NOSETIP PRESSURE PARAMETERS. THE MECHANICAL FLOW CONTROLLER WOULD SENSE THIS NOSETIP PRESSURE PARAMETER AND ADJUST THE FLOW PER A BMO SUPPLIED FUNCTION. A COLD GAS PRESSURE SOURCE WOULD SUPPLY FLUID TO THE FLOW CONTROL DEVICE. THE NEW EXPULSION SYSTEM WOULD PROVIDE ACCURATE FLUID FLOW THEREBY REDUCING THE EXCESS FLUID VOLUME AND WEIGHT REQUIRED FOR CONVENTION WARM GAS EXPULSION SYSTEM INACCURACE COMPENSATION. THE NEW COLD GAS EXPULSIONS SYSTEM IS SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER AND LIGHTER THAN CONVENTIONAL WARM GAS EXPULSION SYSTEMS.
