HEI - Head End Ignition
Please review the HEI Information page to get a general overview.
For staged rockets, the second stage has to be ignited near Vacuum space. We need a system that can raise the pressure in the chamber while increasing the temperature to reach combustion conditions.
Design Changes and Verification
Forward Closure
Write about wall thickness and fillets. Include pressure calc. An FEA would be neat
O - Rings
We changed to 230 and 229 O rings. Verify all O rings including 121 and 122
Igniter Grain
No Change, show open motor curve and talk about funny canted nozzles
Bolts
verify bolt calculations
Manufacturing
include drawings of all parts, where we get them from, and how to machine it
Integration
