1、Lessons Learned Entry: 0964Lesson Info:a71 Lesson Number: 0964a71 Lesson Date: 1995-05-15a71 Submitting Organization: MSFCa71 Submitted by: Billy Cole / RetiredSubject: Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME): Dry Gaseous Purges Description of Driving Event: Prior to starting the engine, there is a period

2、of time referred to as the start preparation phase. At the beginning of this time period, the oxidizer side of the engine is purged with dry nitrogen to eliminate moisture and the fuel side is purged with dry helium to eliminate air as well as moisture. This prevents the formation of ice particles i

3、n the LOX system or air frozen by the hydrogen.Lesson(s) Learned: Dry gaseous purges in a start preparation phase will aid in obtaining a reliable start sequence.Recommendation(s): Use dry gaseous purges in a start preparation phase to aid in obtaining a reliable start sequence for high performance

4、liquid propellant rocket engines.Evidence of Recurrence Control Effectiveness: The Space shuttle Main Engines have operated successfully in over 68 flights. Although many minor changes have been made to improve performance and reliability, this lesson learned or feature described has continued to su
