Concepts NREC has been developing rocket turbopump technology and hardware for over 35 years for NASA and the US Air Force as well as for private launch companies. This advanced level R&D work backs our strong reputation in the area of high performance and wide range/high throttleability turbopumps, and has established Concepts NREC as a premier resource of rocket turbopumps for a range of applications.
Design/Test
Concepts NREC has extensive design experience for conventional turbine driven rocket turbopumps as well as e-pumps (electric motor-driven pumps), propulsion pumps, and hydraulic turbopumps for rocket flight controls.
We cover all aspects of pump design, including wide range and throttleability, as well as ultra high suction specific speeds, design for manufacturing and assembly, and design/fabrication using additive manufacturing. Concepts NREC also has some very unique capabilities with respect to testing of pump impellers and inducers.
In-house magnetic bearing-based pump test loop for axial & radial thrust measurement, rotor dynamic, transfer function, cavitation, & hydrodynamic performance testing of RTPs. |
E-pump, motor-driven cryogenic pump for propulsion applications |
Stable wide flow range inducers and extremely high Nss inducers. |
