美國SSLC公司推出適用于低溫工況的全復合材料高壓容器
Scorpius Space Launch Company (SSLC) 公司宣布向市場上推出了一款結合其防晃動擋板技術創新，適用于低溫工況的全復合材料高壓儲罐。
原文如下：
SSLC 公司在結構復雜的V型壓力容器領域擁有10年以上的生產技術經驗和優勢，向超過25家航空航天用戶交付了100多個品牌為 PRESSURMAXX 的高壓容器。SSLC公司現在向市場推出一款新型火箭推進劑燃料儲罐，在儲罐內壁上設有碳纖維材質的液體晃動擋板，以擴大公司輕型產品系列的應用范圍。今年夏天起開始向小型火箭市場交付該類產品，使火箭推進劑燃料儲罐可設計為主要承重構件。
PRESSURMAXX 產品系列包含可承受高達數千psi壓力的高壓容器。設計兼容所有航空航天領域所用到的普通液體與氣體種類，工作溫度范圍自-160℃~77℃ 。
2010年SSLC公司參與了一項航天器項目的液體晃動阻尼系統的研發和測試，系統采用了靈活防晃動擋板設計用來穩定航天器的轉向系統。該設計現已成功實現在火箭推進劑燃料儲罐上的商業化應用。
燃料儲罐采用SSLC公司專有的Sappire77低溫樹脂系統和碳纖維材料制成。不含金屬、無緊固件、無需焊接或其他密封劑。產品具有質輕、堅固、高性能和低成本等多種優勢。
SSLC公司的席執行官Markus Rufer表示：“這款具備多種優異性能的產品，非常引人矚目，可完美應用于快速發展中的小型衛星發射市場的運載火箭上”
Scorpius Space Launch Company (SSLC) announced its market introduction of all-composite, cryogenic, high pressure tanks incorporating its anti-slosh baffle technology innovation.
All-composite cryo-propellant tank for small launcher business
SSLC has been pioneering structurally strong Type V pressure vessels for a decade under the trademark PRESSURMAXX, having delivered well over 100 tanks to more than 25 aerospace customers. Broadening applications of their line of light-weight products, SSLC is now offering carbon-fiber anti-slosh baffles integrated to the interior walls of propellant tanks. Deliveries of such tanks to the small launcher industry have begun this summer enabling rocket designs that use the propellant tanks as primary load bearing elements of the vehicle.
The PRESSURMAXX product line includes high pressure vessels that can hold up to several thousand psi pressure. They are made to be compatible with all common fluids and gases used in aerospace and cover a temperature range of -320F to +170F.
All-composite cryo-propellant tank for small launcher business
In 2010, SSLC developed and tested a fluid motion damping system for a spacecraft program. This system employs flexible anti-slosh baffle segments to help stabilize the vehicle’s steering system and has now been implemented commercially for launch vehicle propellant tanks.
Built with SSLC’s proprietary Sapphire 77 cryogenic resin system, and carbon fiber materials, the tanks contain no metals, fasteners, welds, or additional sealants. This allows them to remain lightweight, robust, high-performing, and low-cost.
“The combination of these properties yield a compelling product, perfectly suited for use in launch vehicles serving the rapidly emerging small satellite launch market,” said Markus Rufer, the CEO of SSLC.
