A new generation of Liquid Oxygen/Methane rocket engines are under development for space launch vehicles, and many have used Philtec's Fiber Optic Displacement Sensors for rotor dynamics measurements in the testing phase. Our probes continue to be an ideal sensor choice in these applications where they are exposed to pressurized cryogenic fluids. In the past two years alone, we've delivered over 1000 sensors to companies testing advanced turbo-pump designs. The sensors are used to monitor the radial and axial displacements of the rotors in a variety of cryogenic fluids, such as:
Liquid Hydrogen, -300°F, 1000 psi max pressure;
Liquid Oxygen, -297°F, 5000 psi max pressure;
Liquid Methane, -297°F, 7500 psi max pressure.
新一代液氧/甲烷火箭发动机正在开发用于太空运载火箭,许多人已经使用PHILTEC的光纤位移传感器在测试阶段进行转子动力学测量。我们的探头仍然是这些应用中最理想的选择,它们置于在加压低温流体中。仅在过去的两年中,我们已经为许多客户提供了超过1000个传感器用于高级涡轮泵的设计及测试。传感器用于监测各种低温流体中转子的径向和轴向位移,例如:
液态氢,-300°F,最大压力1000 psi;
液氧,-297°F,最大压力5000 psi;
液态甲烷,-297°F,最大压力7500 psi。
