INTBODUC'[ [ON

The use of rocket engines with high specific impulse offers advantages

in both over-all system weight and performance. A requirement for a

200,O00-1b-thrust oxygen-hydrogen engine has been established by the

National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the second-stage

propulsion of the Saturn vehicle.

In response to this requirement, Rocketdyne has applied its rocket engine

and liquid hydrogen experience to the design of a large high-energy

engine with high reliability as required for space missions. This

activity resulted in a NASA-sponsored program to develop the engine,

designated the J-2, through PFRT in February 1963 and Qualification in

May 196_ (Fig. 1.1).

Although the J-2 engine has been designed primarily for operation at

high altitude (vacuum), the engine can be operated at sea level for

test or calibration in simple test stands which do not have altitude

simulation equipment.

The following sections of this report present a summary of the design

and operating characteristics of the J-2 rocket engine as they appear

in the early phase of development. Engine operating characteristics,

especially start and cutoff, are determined from a mathematical model

of the propulsion system. These estimates are the most accurate now

available, but, must be understood to be preliminary and subject to

change when engine test results become available.

DESCRIPTION OF ,1-2 ROCKET I_NGINE

The ,1-2 rocket engine is a 200,000-1b-thrust, high-energy, upper-stage

propulsion system utilizing liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as pro-

pellants. 'rile engine is designed to be used singly or in clusters.

Haxtmum performance is obtained in a configuration optimized from the

standpoint of size and weight to be an engine with an envelope 8n-in.

in dla and ll6-in, long (Fig. 2.1). h complete listing of performance

characteristics is presented in Table 3.1. A listing of influence

coefficients for computing performance under various conditions ia pre-

sented in 'Fable 3.2. A breakdown of engine weight is presented in

Table 5.1.

The J-2 engine features a tubular-wall, bell-shaped thrust, chamber, in-

dependently driven direct-drive turhopumps for liquid hydrogen and liquid

oxygen, each operating at the most favorable speed, powered in series by

a single gas generator utilizing the same propellants as the main thrust

chamber. Engine contact with fluids is limited to the propellants and

helium. _here is a complete absence of lubricants or any other fluids

which could freeze at low temperatures. A schematic is presented in

Fig. 4.2.

An electrical control system sequences the engine start and shutdown.

The sequencing operation is accomplished with solid-state logic elements

because of their inherently high reliability.

PERFORK_CE

PERFORHANCE PAR._MET ERS

The nominal performance parameters for the J-2 engine are presented in

Table 3.1. The values are for nominal conditions during mainstage only.

Curves are presented in Fig. 3.1 and _.2 defining the variations in

specific impulse and thrust with altitude. These curves should be used

for approximation purposes only.

As the propellant utilization valve is moved from the open to the closed

position, a variation in engine thrust will result. The data to calcu-

late this effect are included in Table 3.2. Figure 3.3 and 3._ can be

used for rough approximations.

The engine balm_ce presented in Table 3.1 is based upon an auxtliary

power drive of _0 bhp, assuming a hydraulic pump is mounted to power a

hydraulic gimbal actuation system. A discussion of the pump drive pad is

presented in section lO.

Oxygen gas for vehicle tank pressurization is provided by an oxygen heat

exchanger. Hydrogen gas for pressurizing the vehicle hydrogen tank is

provided from a thrust chamber jacket bleed. Changes in tank pressuriza-

tion flowrate will affect engine balance (section 10).

Engane specific impulse and mixture ratio do not include the prop@llan_s

diverted for tank pressurization.

J-2 KNGINE PI_FOP_2_CE AT VARIOUS AU[ ITUDES

The J-2 engine is designed for upper-stage vheicle application, and is

optimized for vacuum operation with a rel*atively large nozzle expansion

area ratio of 27.5:1. However, this engine has the advantage of capa-

bility of operation at altitudes down to sea level without the occurrence

of jet separation in the nozzle. This was achieved by advanced nozzle

des]gn. The J-2 engine can be test fired, acceptance tested, and fired

in clusters at sea level on ordinary test stands which do not have

altitude-simulating aspirators. This will result in greater accuracy in

test measurements, gimbal system checkout, and considerably greater con-

venience. The J-2 engine performance at various altitudes is indicated

in Fig. 3.1 and 3.2.

THRUST VARIATI0N RESULTLNG FROM PROPELLANT UTILIZATION

VALVE 0PI_AT I0N

The J-2 engine design provides for mixture ratio variations of IO.5 units

of mixture ratio. This variation produces a power variation to the

turbopump resultlng in a thrust variance. This variation with respect

to engine mixture ratio is presented in Fig. 3.3. For detailed analysis,

the influence coefficients will yield more accurate parameters. The _ix-

ture ratio limits under any condition are not less than _.0 or more

than 6.0.

INFLUKNCE COEFFICIENTS

Influence coefficients are presented in Table 5.2 These influence coef-

ficients possess adequate accuracy over the entire design operating range

of the J-2 engine for application to preliminary vehicle analyses.

SAMPLE CAI£ULATION USING TABLE 3.2 INFLI_-NCE COEFFICIENTS

The use of Table 3.2 influence coefficients for determining thrust of the

engine where operating conditions are

Fuel density a. 5_ lb/ft 5

Oxidizer density 71.58 lb/ft 5

Fuel pump inlet pressure 26 psia

Oxidizer pump inlet pressure 37 psia

Propellant utilization setting required for

is shown in the following sample calculation.

Because the influence coefficients are linear, the total effect of sev-

eral influences acting simultaneously on an engine can be determined by

The calculation for the example stated above would be as follows:

Nonlinear Corrections

A special computational procedure has been devised to extend the usefulness

of engine influence coefficients. This technique is used to allow non-

linear corrections to be made for certain parameters where the linear

approximation is not sufficiently accurate. An example of this method is

the c* correction. In this case, a plot of c* correction vs the change

in engine mixture ratio is included with the table of influence coeffi-

cients, Fig. 3.5.

The change in engine mixture ratio is computed for the changes in propel-

lant densities, pump inlet pressures, and with the assumption that the

c* correction is zero. With this change in engine mixture ratio, the c*

correction is read from the curve. This value of c* correction is used

with the other independent variables to compute the changes in the remain-

ing dependent variables.

For example, the change in engine mixture ratio used to effect the

9.001-percent thrust change in the preceding example was 8.00 percent,

the c* correction from Fig. 3.5 is -0.05 percent. The true change in

engine thrust is therefore:

(percent change in FE) = _9.001 -0.05 (+I.07_)

= +9.001 -0.05_ = +8.9_7 percent

Similarly, other nonlinear corrections would be applied as additional

terms in the summation of effects in an iterative procedure.

OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE

The operational sequencing of the engine is as follows, and is presented

in Fig. _.1. An engine schematic is presented in Fig. 4.2.

Start Sequence

The tank-head start technique, wherein the available tank pressures are

utilized to establish gas generator operation and subsequent mainstage

performance, is used to start the engine system. This start sequence is

described in detail in the following paragraphs.

The vehicle programmer furnishes a start signal which energizes the spark

exciters to initiate sparks in the gas generator and in the thrust cham-

ber augmented spark ignition (ASI) system. At the same time, the helium

supply solenoid is energized, opehing the regulator and supplying gas to

the system. The entire helium supply flows through a check valve, located

in the pneumatic package. (This check valve is provided to allow the pro-

pellant valves to remain open during engine operation in event of gas

supply system failure.) Purge gas flows into the thrust chamber oxi-

dize[' dome, the gas generator bleed valve closes, control gas flows to

the closing control ports of the main oxygen valve, the gas generator

oxygen transition valve, the gas generator valve, and the main hydrogen

valve. The control solenoid that supplies gas to the ASI oxygen and main

hydrogen valves is also energized. The main hydrogen valve closing con-

trol pressure is vented and opening control pressure becomes available

to both _he ASI oxygen valve and main hydrogen valve.

The main hydrogen valve opens to its first position and liquid hydrogen

flows through the thrust chamber jacket, through the injector, and out

of the thrust chamber. The ASI oxygen valve also opens and oxidizer flows

to the thrust chamber ASI. When the main hydrogen valve reaches its

first open position, ports integral with its actuating piston open and

allow opening control gas to flow to the gas generator valve and the

ASI hydrogen valve.

The gas generator valve opens allowing flow (under tank-head pressure)

of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to the gas generator (continued

application of closing control pressure causes valve to allow for a

hydrogen lead into the combuator). Gas generator and thrust chamber

ignition is established.

The function of the gas generator oxygen transition valve, which is

closed throughout this period, is to limit temperature excursions and

power buildup in the gas generator. This is accomplished by allowing

an orificed flow through the valve while it is in the full closed

position.

Hot gas from the gas generator accelerates the propellant pumps, in-

creases the propellant discharge pressures, and provides hydraulic

power to the gimbaling system. The power output of the gas generator

remains_constant, and the propellant pump discharge.prdssures stabilize.

The gas generator valve opening ('ontrol gas flows through a vent lille to

the vent port of the ma_n fuel valve control valve h check valve is

located in tl, is vent line to prevent main fuel valve opening control gas

from circumventing the safety interlock of the fuel valve and opening

the gas generator valve prematurely The opening control pressure to

the ASI oxygen valve also vents througtl this line. The opening control

'pressure for the AS[ hvdroget, valve and the main hydrogen valve (first,

position) is also vented through this control valve. Simultaneously,

(:losing control p_essure IS applied to the main hydrogen valve and to

the gas generator valve (oxld]zer side only). Closing control pressure

is supplied to the oxidizer s_de of the gas generator valve only, to

stop the flow of oxidizer as quickly as possible and reduce the power

to the turbine, thereby minimizing the cutoff _mpulse. Closing control

pressure is also applJed to the main oxidizer valve and to the gas gen-

erator oxidizer transition valve. The control lines of the respective

propellant valves are restricted _o provide for suitable cutoff impul_se

and a fuel rich cutoff. At this point, all propellant flow ceases and

the engine thrust decays.

When the combustion pressure in the thrust chamber has decayed suffi-

ciently, the purge line check valve opens and purge gas flows to the

oxidizer dome. The engine secured timer de-energizes approximately 500

msec after the cutoff signal from the vehicle programmer, and the helium

supply solenoid control valve drops out. l he supply gas is cut off by

the regulator closure, purge gas stops flowing to the thrust chamber dome,

closing control pressure on the gas generator propellant bleed valves is

vented, and the bleed valves open.

G [RBAL BLOCK

The J-2 engine basic mount consists of a plain spherical-type gimbal

bearing to transmit engine thrust to the vehicle. Engine torque and

hanging loads are transferred by a bar extending through the sphere

center. A teflon fiberglass composition coating provides dry low-

friction bearing surfaces which are capable of operating in a vacuum at

design temperature limits.

Thrust is transmitted to the space frame structure through the trunion

spherical socket. The socket is contained in a heat-treated metal block

with two crossed keys set in a plane normal to the thrust and on the

vehicle side of the block. The keys absorb loads normal to the center-

line of thrust and torque loads imposed by the gimbaling actuators and

the vehicle gyrations. The thrust transmitting bearing surface and

attaching bolt holes lie within the quadrants between the keys. In

attaching the gimbal block to the stage structure a minimum of 90 per-

cent of the bearing surface should be utilized.

Gimbal blocks may be attached to the vehicle structure either by use of

bolts or by cap screws installed with heads on the engine side. A detail

of the gimbal block is shown in Fig. 2.1.

BFARING DUST AND MOISTURE PROTECTION

A gimbal boot has been provided to protect the bearing surfaces from dust.

the convolutions permitting the required gimbaling motion. A silicone

impregnated fiberglass material is used for the bellows section, and

molded silicone rubber seals at the two attach points. Both gimbal boot

attach points are on the gimbal assembly. This results in an integral

ACTUATOR ATTACH P0lh'rS

In addition to basic support from the gimbal block, the engine is sup-

ported by two gimbal actuators attached to the thrust chamber dome,

each 90 deg to the other with respect to the centerltne of thrust. A

detail of the gimbal attachment is shown in Fig. 2.1. The dome attach

points are located on a radius of 11.875 in. from the thrust centerline,

and provide for 1-in.-dia shear bolts or pins to be installed in double

shear through a spherical alignment bearing. Orientation and details of

the mounting attach points are shown in Fig. 2.1. The actuation envelope

and installation requirements are described in Fig. 6.1. The two actu-

ators are not supplied with the J-2 engine.

MOVEMENT

The engine is designed to withstand a 7-deg functional gimbal angle sim-

ultaneously or individually from each actuator, plus a I/2-deg actuator

overtravel position-stop allowance. The resultant corner position allow-

ance is for approximately I0 deg 25 min gimbaling. 0vertravel positive

stop provisions must be integral with the actuator.

The structural design of the engine permits functional gimbaling of 7 deg

only, as measured from the vehicle flight axis, in any plane or any

combination.

forces are presented in a prevlous paragraph of this section

Although the aerodynamic load carrying capability of the engine will be

influenced by the way the engine is oriented relative to the vehicle,

preliminary information based on a particuIar configuration may be use-

ful in the early stages of vehicle design. Therefore, the aerodynamic

load carrying capability of the engine has been investigated for a

particular installation in a clustered configuration with the oxidizer

and fuel inlets located on a radial line in the vehicle and the fuel

pump outboard. If the ,Z axis shown in sketch in Table 5.1 is outboard

in a radial direction, the largest, deflection of the engine into the

slip-stream will occur with the maximum pitch angle of approximately

10 deg about, the X axis. [n _his posit, ion the two 42,000 lb actuators

have a capability to resist an aerodynamic moment of 300,000 in. lb

about the X gimbal axis. [t is presumed that this moment results from

the impingement of air upon the aft portion of the thrust chamber. Nlth

HELIUM

The moisture content of the helium employed in the J-2 pneumatic system

is extremely critical because of the low temperature environment result-

ing from the use of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as propellants. A

helium dew point maximum of -100 F, at atmospheric pressure, is a require-

ment. Foreign matter in the helium must be limited to a maximum _f

0.O1 mgfliter at 60 F and 1_.7 psia. Helium supplied to the engine pneu-

matic supply sphere must pass through a lO-micron nominal filter having

a 25-micron absolute rating. The h_elium supply sphere is sized to hold

enough gaseous helium for three starts (two restarts) if charged to

4500 psia at -100 F. Less helium may be loaded if only one start is

desired as shown in Fig. 7.1.

PROPELLANT DUCT CONNECTION FLANGE LOADS

The J-2 engine propellant inlet ducts connect to the vehicle frame feed

system ducts by bolted flange fittings. The two engine propellant ducts

are of flexible metal construction and are identical. Each duct consists

of two convoluted bending sections restrained by gimbal rings, one at

each end of the duct, and one convoluted central member designed to

absorb axial motion during engine gimbaling, l_hen under pressure, the

engine mounted flexible section is dependent upon the vehicle duct flange

for axial restraint. Accordingly, the vehicle duct flange at the engine

connection must be rigidly oriented with respect to the X, Y, and Z

axes.

Propellant pressurization and forces required to deflect the convolutions

during lO deg corner gimbaling result in the following maximum forces

imposed on the vehicle structure.

The axial spring rate of an unpressurized inlet line is approximately

215 lb/;in. The bending spring rate for vehicle connecting end flange

tilt is h.75 ft-lb/deg,about a point 2 in. below the vehicle flange. For

the engine connecting end it is 5 42 ft-lb//deg about a point normally

2 in. below the vehicle flange. The inlet line customer connect flanges

are dimensioned to a nominal free position. The above spring rate may

be used to determine additional forces imposed by axial position change

of the flange.

DUCT LOCATION TOLERANCE

Vehicle flanges must be positioned and during engine operation remain

within the following tolerance with respect to the engine flange posi-

tion defined on the customer connect drawing:

I. Axial location (y axis): ±0.30 in.

2. Transverse location (xz plane): ±0.08 in. in any direction

3. Angular misalignment (out of xz plane): ±1/2 deg

h. Hisalignment of bolt pattern: As the duct is centered by the

attachment bolts, the bolt pattern is required to be concentric

with the inside diameter.

5. Rotational alignment of bolting flanges (about the y axis):

The vehicle connecting duct must be provided with bolt holes

to allow for adjustment of a minimum of _I deg angular mis-

alignment. During operation, rotational movement of the vehicle

duct flange about the duct centerline shall be limited to 0.2

deg relative to a plane through the pump axis and the engine

centerline.

PROPELIANT SYSTi_N PRESSURES

FUEL AND OXIDIZER SYSI_KNS

The engine fuel system is calibrated to a 25 psia nominal mainstage total

inlet pressure, and is designed to operate with a minimum NPSH of 130 ft

(_ psi) at the pump inlet. (NPSH is defined as the difference between

the pump Inlet total pressure-head and the fluid vapor pressure-head.) The

engine oxidizer system is calibrated to a 32 psia nominal mainstage total

inlet pressure, and is designed to operate with a minimum NPSH of+25 ft

(12.5 psi) at the pump inlet. Reduction of static fuel pressure at the

beginning of the start cycle will adversely effect the tank-head-start

characteristics. An increase of static pressure will cause excessive duct

stresses during engine shutdown surges. The flexible duct sections sup-

plied as part of the engine propellant system will each add a pressure

drop to the vehicle propellant feed system and therefore, must be con-

sidered by the vehicle manufacturer, in designing, to maintain the above

minimum NPSH values.

The pressure drop for the fuel pump inlet duct when in the nominal posi-

tion is 0.5 psi at the nominal flourate. At the same flowrate, with the

duct fully extended and offset, the pressure drop is 1 psi.

Pressure drop for the oxidizer pump inlet duct when in the nominal posi-

tion is 0.5 psi at the nominal flowrate. At the same flowrate, with the

duct. fully extended and offset, the pressure drop is 2.0 psi.

SURGE AND PUMP INLET PRESSL_E

The engine inlet duct, ing, turbopump inlet casing, and turbopump mounting

struct_ure of tile [-2 engine are designed to withstand surge pressures of

lO0 psi above the nominal inlet, pressure in the oxidizer system and 50 psi

in the fuel system. In tetras of total pressure (surge plus nominal operat-

ing), tile limitations are 75 psia for the fuel inlet system and 132 psia

for' t,he oxidizer inlet system. It is therefore necessary, in every spe-

cific application of the 3-2 engine, to evaluate possible vehicle ducting

configurations in terms of elevation from engine connect, point, to propel-

lant tank dis(:harge and of ducting-run length and diameter. Elevations of

from 20 to 30 ft coupled with vehicle termfnal effective fluid accelera-

t_ions of 4 to 5 g result in significant static pressures with a fluid as

dense as liquid oxygen. The values of ducting-run length and diameter are

of importance in evaluating pressure surges which are acoustical phenomena.

Rocketdyne has developed a digital computer program for analyzing water-

hammer effects based on a solution to the one-dimensional wave equation.

This program has significant success in predicting pressure surging

caused by rapid valve closure in aeries piping systems. The input data

for this program are diameter, run length, wall thickness, modulus of

elasticity, and Poisson's ratio for the ducting; the free acoustic

velocity, adiabatic bulk modulus, and flowrate of the propellant; and

the propellant valve closing characteristic. Any questions concerning

proposed vehicle ducting layouts in regard to pressure surges should be

referred to Rocketdyne and be accompanied with the aforementioned duct-

ing data.

To minimize cutoff impulse and maintain the specified close _olerances

on cutoff impulse variation, the J-2 engine employs rapid main propel-

lant valve closures; this results in b waterhammer pressure surges. The

nominal closing rate_ are 1OO msec for the main oxidizer valve and

200 msec for _ the maLn fuel valve. The system surge pressures have been

evaluated for the most rapid closure anticipated under propellant flow

and pressure conditions encountered at the maximum of mixture ratio con-

t rol when using 7-in. ID piping and run lengths of 15 ft for the fuel

and b.5 ft for the oxidizer ducting, As a result of these analyses, the

J-2 engine main oxidizer valve, butterfly type, has been designed to

follow a linear area decay characteristic on closing to minimize pres-

sure surges caused by rapid deceleration of over ttSO lb/sec of liquid

oxygen flow. The properties of hydrogen and the value of maximum fuel

flo_crate were such that the main fuel valve, also a butterfly type,

required no modification of the linear position characteristic associ-

ated with butterfly-type valves.

The maximum run lengths of propellant feed ducting which generate surges

safely below the maximum surge levels, at nominal inlet pressure condi-

tions, are 15 ft for the fuel system and 6.5 ft for the oxidizer system.

The maximum run lengths are based on the use of 7-in.-ID low-pressure

stainless-steel piping. The utilization of larger diameter ducting will

reduce the surge pressure as a result of decreasing the flow velocity;

however, the relation is not, direcf. [f structural requirements of pro-

po,_ed vehicles dictate run lengths greater than those mentioned, the

investigation of surge suppressing methods is recommended.

STXItHNG PUMP INLET tRES_bTtF_S

The 3-2 engine is unique among existing large liquid-propellant rocket

engines because of the utilization of the tank-head-start t_chnique.

This start technique avoids the (_se of- gas generating spinner cartridges,

start tanks, etc., with the attendant complexity and possible limita-

lions on restart capability. Because of the sensitivity of the engine

to turbopump inlet pressure levels during the initial starting transient,

the following paragraphs are provided to clarify the effects of starting

pump inlet pressures while employing the tank-head-start technique.

The J-2 engine program has employed a mathematical lumped-parameter model

as a tool to predict system starting transients prior to inception of

actual englne development testing. Through this analytical effort, gas

generator thermal excursions during the starting transient were thoroughly

analyzed with respect to turbopump inlet pressures. The necessity for

this analysis is discussed in the following paragraphs.

The control system for gas generator temperature and flowrates consists

of two fixed orifices, one each in the oxidizer and fuel lines. At

mainstage these orifices are adjusted for a gas generator mixture ratio

of approximately one. The pressure drops, including the control ori-

fices, which determine the fuel and oxidizer flowrates into the gas gen-

erator are those from the respective pump discharge volutes to the gas

generator chamber. At mainstage, the pressure drop across the gas

generator oxidizer line is less than that across the hydrogen line,

while at start, the nominal oxidizer pump inlet pressure is 32 psia and

the fuel pump inlet pressure is 25 psia. Therefore, for any given gas

generator chamber pressure, the presst_re drop across the gas generator

feed lines (employing mainstage control orifices) is higher on the oxi-

dizer side, which means the oxidizer flowrate will be greater than the

fuel flowrate. A further tendency toward oxidizer-rich operation

results from the ratio of liquid oxygen density to liquid hydrogen den-

sity being 16:1. Additionally, the engine starting technique employs a

partially opened main fuel valve and a fully closed main oxidizer valve.

Following ignition in the gas generator and initial acceleration of both

turbopumps, the oxidizer pump discharge pressure increases more rapidl_

than that of the hydrogen pump because of operation against, a closed

main valve, and because the oxygen pump design speed is lower than that.

of the hydrogen pump. These conditions result in temperature excursions

in the gas generator.

To control the gas generator temperature excursions, a gas generator

oxygen transition valve is located in the gas generator oxidizer feed

line. This valve presents a high resistance to oxygen flow prior'to

opening the main propellant valves. This produces a higher pressure

drop in the oxidizer feed line during start and will preclude oxidizer-

rich gas generator operation and the resultant high temperatures.

Simultaneous with main oxidizer valve opening at the mainstage signal,

the transition valve moves at a controlled rate to its fully open posi-

tion to permit engine operation at the mainstage level.

Pr_or to initiatLon of the engine startang phase it is required that

the pump inlet, pressures be no less than the nominal mainstage values.

ma_n propel lanl val_ex are tile only valves in lhe vehicle propellant

feed systems. Additional feed system valves, called prevalves, would

only be added 1o fulfill _ehlele t'equlvemenTs independent of the engine.

If prevalves are added, and if their cycle of operation is arranged so

that bottl the prew_lve anti the engine valve could be closed at the same

time lrapping liquid cryogenic propellant, then the vehicle manufacturer

must provide for pressure relief of the space bet.ween the valves. Pres-

also build up because of flexible duct contraction if the engine is gim-

baled while in this condition. Total pressure limitation is presented

cuft and an oxidizer volume of l.tt8 cu ft. Engine gimbaling at the

specified rate, with a liquid-filled duct, will require a relief capac-

ity of 2.9 gal/sec.

30 mln prior to engine operation, to assure thorough pump chilldown.

d-2 ELECTRICAL SYSTEH

The J-2 electrical control system consists of 'a sequence controller to

properly sequence engine start and cutoff, a spark ignition system to

establish ignition in the gas generator and thrust chamber, and ml ASI

pressure switch to sense proper i_lltion 'and signal mainstage.

SB_UENCE CONTROLLER

The sequence controller is a complete solid-state design thereby elimi-

nating problems associated wilds mechanical relay contacts. Tile con-

troller performs the functions of circuit condition monitoring, protective

interlocks on critical circuits, and proper sequencing of the engine during

the start, cutoff, and restart phases of flight. Provisions have been made

to allow automatic clustering, automatic or manual mainstage initiation,

automatic or manual control of heater power, and internal multiplexing of

control system instrumentation signals.

SPARK IGNITION SYSTEH

Ignition is established in the gas generator and main chamber with re-

dundant high-tension spark ignition systems. The spark exciters transform

28 vdc into 15,000 v which dlscharges across the spark gap at a rate of 50

sparks per sec. Transmission cabling and connections are hermetically

sealed to ensure proper operatlon at high altitudes.

INSTRUMENTATION

ENGINE SYSTEM INSTRIMENTATION

Instrumentation provided on the J-2 engine consists of propellant pump

discharge line flowmeters, pump speed signals, and various electrical

sequence signals. •

Signal pick-up for telemetering or other vehicle use is through a common

multiple pin connector used only for instrumentation connection and is

provided from the electrical pneumatic package. These are the only

instruments to be delivered as part of the engine. However, instrumen-

tation tap provisions also are made in anticipation of the users needs

for flight.

FLIGHT INSTRUMENTATION PROVISIONS

A list of recommended flight instrumentation is shown in Table 9.1

Flowmeters

The basic element of the flowmeter is a helical-vaned rotor which is

turned by propellant flow to measure flow velocity. The rotor is free-

turning on an anti-friction bearing system. The flow diameter is closely

controlled to permit accurate determination of the volumetric flowrate.

The hydrogen meter ha8 a four-vane rotor producing four electrical

impulses per revolution and turns approximately 3600 rpm at nominal flow.

The oxidizer meter has a six-vane rotor producing six electrical'impulses

per revolution and turns approximate]y 2h00 rpm at nominal flow. These

signals are made available to the vehicle telemetering system as a 1 volt

peak-to-peak signal for the oxidizer flo_meter and a 2 volt peak-to-peak

signal for the fuel flowmeter.

PUHP INLET PRL_SURE MEASURI_IENT

To fully evaluate the propulsion system during flight, the vehicle manu-

facturer must supply instrumentation for measuring the oxidizer and fuel

pump inlet pressures and temperatures. These parameters are not included

on the engine because of space limitations. It is therefore suggested

that the vehicle manufacturer locate provisions for them in the vehicle

duct, as close as practical to the engine flange.

TURBOPUHP SPEED INDICATORS

Turbopump speed for both turbopumps is indicated by the output of an a-c

generator. The current frequency varies directly with pump speed and is

based on 12 cycles per pump revolution. The generator voltage of 100 my

is amplified to 0.5 v and used in the engine sequence control system as

well as in the turbopump overspeed shutoff system. The signal is made

available to the vehicle telemetering system as a 0.5 vac (variable fre-

quency current).

ACCESSORIES

ACCESSORY DRIVE PAD

An accessory drive pad is located on the turbine exhaust manifold of the

oxidizer turbopump. The pad is an adaptation of the AND 20002 standard

drive pad. The basic differences are as follows:

1. An increase of the bolt circle to 6.00 in. dis and the outside

to 6.90 in. dis.

2. No bearings or seals are supplied at the accessory pad.

The accessory is to be connected directly to the turbine shaft by means

of a Rocketdyne provided quill. The use of this_quill drive requires a

female spline on the accessory. Details of the pad requirements for the

accessory are shown in Fig. 10.1. The turbine manifold temperature will

be approximately 610 F and the accessory will be subjected to the gas

pressures within the manifold. This pressure will be approximately 50 psia

and will consist of hydrogen rich steam. The rotational speed of this
t620
accessory drive is 8950 -4_0 rpm during mainstage with rotation being

clockwise viewing the engine drive pad. Torque on this accessory drive

shall be held at an absolute minimum at start. The point in the start

sequence at which the significant power may be drawn from this pad is

a sub.ject of review with Rocketdyne.

)
The engine will be delivered with the accessory pad blanked off. The

quill shaft will be separately packaged.

The engine performance balance allows for 30 hp to be extracted from the

pad while the engine is operating at mainstage turbine speed, Exceeding

this power value will result in a reduction in other performance figures.

itowever, tile pad and drive system is structurally suitable for 100 hp

extraction at mainstage speed.

The 30 hp value is based on nominal power requirements to gimbal the

engine at model specification limits. If hydraulic power is selected,

it is assumed that peak loads in the hydraulic system are absorbed by a

properly selected vehicle system accumulator.

The following limits of drive pad capabilities must be observed:

I. Maximum starting torque I00 in. Ib

2. Maximum running torque 700 in. ib

3. Maximum accessory weight 25 ib

_. Maximum overhung moments 125 in. Ib

The estimated liquid oxygen pump speed buildup during the engine start

transient is presented in Fig. 10.2.

HYDROGI_ TANK PRESSLrRIZAT[0N SYSTI_I

The engine wlll supply hydrogen gas for tank pressurization at a rate of

3.00 Ibjsec at a temperature of -260 F at the nominal engine Operating

level and nominal propellant utilization valve setting. The pressurant

will be obtained by bleeding hydrogen from the thrust chamber cooling

jacket upstream of the injector.

OXYGEN TANK PRESSL_IZATION SYSTI_

The engine will supply oxygen gas for tank pressurization at a rate of

3.90 lb/sec at a temperature of -170 F at the nominal engine operating

level and nominal propellant utilization valve setting. The pressurant

will be obtained from an oxygen heat exchanger located in the oxidizer

pump turbine exhaust gas duct.

PRESSURIZATION SYSTI_4 FLOWRATE VARIATION

Variation of pressurization system flowrates will alter the engine

operating level. The incremental changes in engine performance due

to independently decreasing the tank pressurization flowrates from their

nominal values to zero are:

H_drogen System Oxygen System

Engine Thrust, lb +1500 -1300

Engine Specific Impulse, sec 41.25 +0.55

Engine Hixture Ratio. -0.I0 -0.02

The design of the oxygen pressurization system is such that a zero flow-

rate condition cannot be tolerated by the engine. Accordingly, a minimum

flowrate of approximately 1.0 15/sec through the heat exchanger is nec-

essary. Figure 10.5 presents the estLmated liquid oxygen heat exchanger

operating line.

In computing vehicle tanking mixture ratio, the tank pressurization flow

requirements should be added to the engine propellant consumption as engine

mixture ratio and specific impulse do not include the pressurization

flowrates.

Tile propellant utilization (PU) control system is a device for obtaining

maximum utilization of vehicle propellants by adjusting _le engine mix-

ture ratio to simultaneously exhaust tile supply of both vehicle tanks.

_al exzLmple of its operation is presented in the following paragraph.

When the vehicle propellant level signal system indicates that tile oxi-

dizer supply is being re,duced faster than scheduled, it is intended that

the vehicle control system will transmit a valve opening s£gnal to the

PU system serw)motor. This will cause the PU valve to open the oxidizer

pump bypass line and therefore increase the rate of oxidizer circulation

around the pump. This condition results in a decrease in oxidizer flow

from the vehicle tank. Response time of the propellant utilization valve

is 1 see for full travel from stop to stop.

The PU valve and its servomotor are supplied with the J-2 engine. A

position feedback potentiometer with 2000 ohm resistance is supplied ill-

tegral with the PU valve assembly.

A mtxture ratio varlat, lon limit of 10 percent above or 10 percent below

nominal has been provided. Nominal flow through the valve is 65 lb/see
*55
of oxygen. The valve has modulating capacity to vary the flowrate to -b5
ib,'see.

ENGINE BU ILDVP

The handling fixture used in shipping is suitable with some limitations

for use as a workstand in the users facility. The limitation of this

use is imposed by ttle horizontal engine positioning and by absence of,a

rotational provision.

For buildup or for storage in a vertical position, the engine may be

rested on a flat pallet provided as aerQspace ground equipment.

The engine is equipped with fittings for attachment of vertical and hori-

zontal hoisting equipment ot provide flexibility in positioning the engine

for buildup, loading, or installation. A cable is provided for vertical

handling and a sling for horizontal handling. To transfer from horizontal

to vertical positioning, two hoists are required.

Horizontal hoist fittings are located in the X coordinate axis plane on

the positive side. The handling fixture mounting fittings are in the

same plane on the opposite side. The engine axes are shown in Table 5.1.

HANDLING DURING INSTALLATION

The previously described horizontal position sling is the only provision

made on the J-2 engine for installation in a vehicle although the engine

is suitable for standing vertically in a flat and hoisting into position

with a lift truck. When using the horizontal sling for multiengine in-

stallation, it is assumed the vehicle stage will be angularly located to

, facilitate moving the engine into position with the X plane positive

side up. It is recommended that engine handling procedures he coordinated

with Rocketdyne engineering representatives.

leakage from the main propellant valve into an enclosed boattail (i.e.,

prior to stage separation) is precluded by utilization of a burst dia-

phragm in the valve design. Because the main oxidizer valve shaft seal

vent ports are located below the main gate lipseal, liquid oxygen leakage

from these vent ports can only occur through failure of the main gate

seal.

To ensure the quality of propellants (all liquid) required at the gas

bleed line (Table 13.1, Stem 40) and the fuel bleed line (Table 13.1,

item _1) are to be plumbed through a customer connection to the vehicle

skin and overboard. Provision for venting these lines to atmosphere,

prior to engine start,, must be provided by the vehicle contractor.

Two bleed lines from the liquid oxygen turbopump (Table 13.1, items 42

and _3) must be bled to a point of identical back pressure. These

bleeds drain two side-by-side cavities, one containing hot turbine gases

and the other liquid oxygen. The oxidizer pump seal bleed will be

plumbed overboard through a customer connection, and the liquid oxygen

pump turbine seal bleed will be plumbed to atmosphere along the thrust

chamber contour in the vicinity of the chamber exit.

The hydrogen turbine hot gas bided line (Table 13.1, item _) will be

plumbed to atmosphere along the thrust chamber contour £n the vicinity

of the chamber exit.

To attain the degree of reliability required of the J-2 engine system,

leakage from separable connections of ducts, lines, housings, etc., will

be minimized tllrough the use of brazing techniques

Stub tubes are provided where practical for brazing engine plumbing to the

vehicle to extend reliability to vehicle-to-engine connections, AlIowanc(,

is made on the engine for two subsequent tube disconnecting cuts and re-

brazes. If more reb_azing operattons than this are required, it is

expected tt_at provisions will be made on the vehicle plumbing to permJt

the _equt_od tmmher
