| description | A system and method for the production and supply of a densified, liquid oxidant to a space vehicle launch facility is provided. A stream of liquid oxygen taken from a co-located, liquid producing air separation unit is densified in a two refrigeration stage, integrated densification system. The first refrigeration stage is a nitrogen based reverse Brayton cycle refrigeration cycle that provides refrigeration to the second refrigeration stage. The second refrigeration stage is a helium and/or neon comprising refrigerant loop that densifies the liquid oxygen to a temperature between about 70 Kelvin and 57 Kelvin. The integrated densification system may also be configured to densify liquid methane or other propellants used in space vehicle launches. |
