Abstract:

The report contains results of a design study program for an advanced device for the diversion of high energy gas generator turbine discharge gases. Numerous concepts of such devices were initiated during the preliminary period. Evaluation of these concepts resulted in the selection of two design approaches for further design studies. One design, a basic butterfly valve, embodies significant improvements over the current type. The second design represents a unique concept which uses a rotating elbow enclosed within a housing to achieve gas flow diversion. An analysis and comparison of the two designs brought about the selection of the butterfly approach for the preparation of a final design and for the preparation of manufacturing drawings. A manufacturing plan describing the processes and methods which would be required to fabricate a prototype version of the butterfly valve is included.
