Injector technology for liquid oxygen

Injector technology for liquid oxygen

  • 1 A new injector technology for liquid oxygen/liquid methane combustion

    A first at Onera: the successful testing of an injector with a technology new in Europe- a double" Swirl" supplied with liquid oxygen / liquid methane... For cryogenic engines, the replacement of liquid hydrogen with liquid methane has definite advantages, especially related to its much higher condensation temperature, close to that of the related propellant- Oxygen (around 100K versus 20K under engine conditions), which facilitates the use
