Catalyst Bed Heater/Sensor Assemblies

714-890-0058

Thruster heater/sensor assemblies for monopropellant hydrazine thrusters are developed with proven manufacturing techniques that yield extremely cost-effective designs.

Our proven manufacturing techniques yield extremely efficient and cost-effective designs that can be modified at minimal expense.   These highly reliable assemblies feature low element watt density that significantly extends element life even during repeated temperature cycling.

Hermetically sealed housings are available in heat resistant inconel or waspalloy and can be configured in a wide range of shapes to match thruster configuration.  Platinum RTD’s can be integrated for temperature control.

Innovative Solutions

Problem: Highly durable element needed to accommodate a wide variety of thruster configurations.

Solution: Created a hermetically sealed high temperature heater with a strain-free element that withstands repeated high temperature cycling without element fatigue.
