Research abstract
The innovation addressed in this proposal is a Condenser and Particle Separator, or CAPS, for liquid air cycle engine (LACE) heat exchangers. LACE-based propulsion concepts have a great deal of promise for powering single stage to orbit (SSTO) and hypersonic cruiser vehicles. However, to realize this promise, they must overcome two fundamental problems: 1) heat exchanger fouling due (primarily) to atmospheric water vapor, and 2) vulnerability to foreign object damage (FOD). The proposed CAPS system would address both of these issues in an entirely passive manner, employing no moving parts, electrical power, or expendable materials. (P020325)
