ABSTRACT:
A hot gas generator system which includes a combustor and a condenser, with the combustor connected to the condenser for condensing the product of combustion from the combustor. A hydrogen supply is connected to the condenser and then to the combustor whereby the hydrogen absorbs heat from the combustion product as it condenses and the hydrogen thereby is preheated prior to entering the combustor. An oxygen supply is connected to the combustor for mixing with the hydrogen during combustion. The combustor is part of an integrated heat exchanger/combustor whereby a minor portion of the hydrogen passing through the condenser is used in the combustor for burning purposes and a major portion of the hydrogen is passed through the combustor for superheating the hydrogen prior to delivering the hydrogen to a prime mover, such as a thruster or a turbogenerator of a space platform or the like.
