Turbopump

Finally, between the gas generator and the turbine, a bright red silhouette of the turbopump injector began flashing. ❋ Unknown (2009)

He turned around and grabbed a piece of the turbopump that propelled the kerosene and liquid oxygen into the combustion chamber — literally the heart of the engine. ❋ Carl Hoffman (2007)

To power the turbopump, a small amount of fuel is "preburned", thus generating hot gases that drive the turbopump, which in turn pumps the rest of the fuel into the main combustion chamber. ❋ Zoe Brain (2005)

This gushing torrent of fuel is driven by a turbopump. ❋ Zoe Brain (2005)

But he took it further, checking out books to find out “how the heck a turbopump worked” at the age of 11. ❋ Unknown (2005)

This "full-flow staged cycle" design has an important advantage: with more mass passing through the turbine that drives the turbopump, the turbopump is driven harder, thus reaching higher pressures. ❋ Zoe Brain (2005)

A ground facility valve that supplied start helium to the turbopump was closed when it should have been open. ❋ Unknown (2005)

"A space shuttle main engine equipped with a next-generation fuel turbopump was damaged during an aborted test firing last week, NASA officials said Thursday." ❋ Unknown (2000)

On 16 June 2000, testing of a Space Shuttle Main Engine SSME with a high-pressure fuel turbopump configuration at NASA Stennis Space Center had to be cut short. ❋ Unknown (2000)

The third stage malfunctioned; a sudden loss of pressure apparently was noted between the engine and turbopump. ❋ Unknown (2011)

The turbopump from a shuttle main engine could shoot a 1 stream of water 37 miles into the air. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Discovery's installation, and subsequent removal - due to an issue with a turbopump on ME-1 - followed by reinstallation, taking place recently, added to the removal of Atlantis 'engines, following her STS-132 mission. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Kotov also attended to the current experiment session with the Russian/German TEKh-20 Plasma Crystal-3+ (Plazmennyi-Kristall/PK-3+) payload, activating the turbopump in the Service Module ❋ Unknown (2010)
