Concepts NREC Talks Space Propulsion at Conference

By DE Editors

Concepts NREC (CN) will exhibit at the 47th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit (JPC 2011) July 31 to August 3 in Booth 417 at the San Diego Convention Center. Concepts NREC engineers will explain technology that underscores the company’s experience working on turbomachinery for aerospace propulsion, including work for NASA on a Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program project on “Extremely High Suction Performance Inducers for Space Propulsion.” 

“Pumps for nuclear reactor boiler feeds, vehicle fuel systems, cryogenic fluid transfer, high speed industrial systems and super critical C02 power cycles all are potential commercial applications resulting from CN’s current work on the Extremely High Suction Performance Inducers for Space Propulsion program,” says Kerry Oliphant, aerospace program manager for Concepts NREC and winner of the Phase II NASA STTR program in association with Brigham Young University.  “This technology could be used for any situation where it is necessary to pump a low vapor pressure fluid, including in aerospace, automotive, industrial and civil applications.”
