Reference # : Model No :

HypergoLeak is a novel polymer nanowire-based microelectronic sensor for detection of hypergolic propellant leaks. This compact and selective detector is being developed to be integrated into existing monitoring systems in constricted propellant storage locations.

Benefits

• Selectively and reliably detects hypergolic propellant components. • High signal-to-noise ratio (sensor response is over 750 times greater than noise level). • Targets hypergolic propellant components with little to no interference from acetone, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and oxygen. • Operates in temperature extremes ranging from -46 °C to +71 °C. • Resists mechanical perturbations such as vibration and shock. • Needs little power–operates on an average of <0.3 mW of power. • Targeted for a mean time between failures (MTBF) greater than 12,500 hours. • Excellent long-term operational stability and long shelf-life.
