Patent ID: 7946107

Claim:
A mixture ratio stabilizer for a liquid propellant rocket engine, comprising: a body having: a fuel chamber; an oxidizer chamber; a fuel inlet communicating with the fuel chamber to receive fuel from a fuel supply pump; an oxidizer inlet communicating with the oxidizer chamber to receive an oxidizer; and a fuel outlet communicating with the fuel chamber to emit the fuel supplied; a spool guide disposed in the fuel chamber and including a plurality of first orifices for the fuel outlet and the fuel inlet to communicate with each other; a bellows disposed in the oxidizer chamber and having one end adjacent to the spool guide and another end positioned adjacent to the oxidizer inlet, said bellows expanding and contracting in accordance with a pressure of the oxidizer which flows into the oxidizer inlet; and a spool having a part placed in the spool guide and a further part positioned in the bellows, one end of the spool being connected with the bellows whereby the spool linearly reciprocates as the bellows expands and contracts, the spool having a fuel path, including a third orifice, that communicates with a cavity in the bellows, and the fuel outlet, the spool further having a plurality of second orifices formed to correspond to the plurality of first orifices so that the fuel outlet and the fuel inlet communicate with each other.
