Summary

THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES EFFORTS IN DEVELOPING LIQUID HYDROGEN PUMP PROTOTYPES. A 2.5 MEGAPASCAL LIQUID HYDROGEN PISTON PUMP OPERATED BY A HYDRAULIC DRIVE WAS DEVELOPED FOR A RESEARCH VEHICLE USING EARLY CYLINDER INJECTION OF CRYOGENIC HYD BY DESIGN, THE COOLDOWN PERIOD OF THE PUMP IS LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AND THE WARMING UP RATE AFTER SHUTDOWN IS ABOUT 15 K/H. THE PUMP IS PRIMED WITH GASEOUS HYDROGEN FOR CYCLIC PRESSURIZATION OF THE SECTION AROUND THE INTAKE VALVE.
