LIQUID PROPELLANT ROCKET POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F02K9/48 

FIELD: liquid propellant rocket power plants with turbopump units.

SUBSTANCE: the liquid propellant rocket power plant having liquid-hydrogen and liquid-oxygen tanks with booster pumps and main turbopump units uses also an electrochemical generator with an oxygen inlet and outlet and a hydrogen inlet and outlet, oxygen ejector, hydrogen ejector and two electric motors, one of which is connected to the shaft of the oxygen booster pump, and the other-to the shaft of the hydrogen booster pump, the oxygen inlet of the electrochemical generator is connected through a pipe to the gas cushion of tank with liquid oxygen, and the outlet-to the inlet of oxygen ejector, whose outlet is connected to the gaseous oxygen supply pipe to the reaction chamber: the hydrogen inlet of the electrochemical generator is connected through a pipe to the gas, cushion of the tank with liquid hydrogen, and the outlet is connected to the inlet of the hydrogen ejector, whose outlet is connected to the gaseous hydrogen supply line to the reaction chamber.

EFFECT: provided reliable multiple starting of the liquid propellant rocket power plant.
