Catenary systems for high throughput

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) - Stuttgart in Germany from Europe region has released this tender for The P8 facility in Lampoldshausen is a test site for research into high-pressure combustion in rocket engines and the associated turbopump testing. The specially designed P8.3 test cell is used for this purpose. P8.3 has existing overhead contact lines for low/medium mass flow rates, and lines for high mass flow rates are required. These lines are the subject of this tender. This specification covers the complete design, manufacturing, and delivery of two overhead contact line sections, including turbine flow meters and interface valves, for the LOX and fuel supply lines in P8.3, in DN100, for an interface pressure of 14.5 bar. Since the media are extremely cold, the lines must be vacuum-insulated. Further information can be found in the tender documents. While supply lines for low and medium mass flow rates already exist at P8.3, lines for high mass flow rates are required. These lines are the subject of this tender. The scope of work covers the complete design, manufacturing and delivery of two supply line sections including turbine flow meters and interface valves - for the LOX and fuel feed lines at P8.3 (DN100 size, designed for an interface pressure of 14.5 bar). As the media involved are cryogenic, the lines must be vacuum-insulated. Further information can be found in the tender documents. with tender notice no. 698626-2026 published on 09 Oct 2026.
