Pressure sensor for bipropellant rockets
Pressure measurement inside the engine and pressure measurement of the hydrogen peroxide and ethanol tanks.
A student team from Delft, Netherlands, is developing a bipropellant rocket powered by hydrogen peroxide. In the search for optimal components, KELLER Pressure became involved. Rockets using hydrogen peroxide as a propellant are not new. However, this fuel method has been largely unused since World War II and the early days of space exploration. "We wanted to recreate this fuel at a student level, in a low-cost and from-scratch development approach. Initially, the goal was simply to 'make it fly,' but as we progressed, we evolved to the stage of designing a 'flyable vehicle.'" Two types of KELLER Pressure sensors are being used (M5HB for measuring pressure inside the engine and 7LC for measuring the pressure in the hydrogen peroxide and ethanol tanks). These sensors are lightweight, compact, and have excellent material compatibility. Additionally, the fact that the technical specifications are openly published has been appreciated. All necessary information can be checked on the website, allowing for compatibility assessments without needing to contact the sales team. Communication after deciding to use the products has also been smooth. For more details, please refer to the related links below!
