_ite S-JV_ stage propellant syst+,m is composed of integr;ll LOX/Lil 2 tankg,
p._opo._._nnt iin_ control vaJvP.s 9 vents and pre_urlzat£on _ubsygtemso Loadtng
cf the prc_ella_c tank_ and flo_ of propellants i_ contro]led by the propell_,nt
utilization _'_tem. Both propellant tanks are lni_ially preosurized by ground
source cold helitn..
_JX tank _ressurizatJo_ during S-IVB stage burn is maint.]_.ned by hellum
suppi_.ed from spheres in the L]I? tank, _hich is expanded by passing through the
; heat ex'.'han_r, to maintain positive pressure across the co_on tank bulkhead
! and to satisfy engine net positive auction head, I,Ez _.ank pressur_zation during
; 5-ZVB stag_ burn is maintained by GII2 from the J-2 engine injector, Pressuriza-
tion o_ _he LH 2 tank strengthens the stage in addition to satlsfying engine nat
positive suction head.
Repressurization of the pr_ellnnt tanks, prior to J-2 engine .restarts, is
! sttalned by passing cold helium, from the helium spheres in the LH 2 _ank,
i through the O_/H 2 burner, The heated _ellum is then routed to the propellant
' ranks, Should the O2/H 2 burner fail, ambient repressurlzation will ensure
propellant p_essure engine restarts,
