DeltaVision: The cardiovascular system for rockets, spaceships and more

The Munich-based startup DeltaVision develops and produces intelligent, cryogenic fluid management systems. These can be used in space travel as well as for hydrogen mobility applications. We spoke with the space tech company.

DeltaVision was founded in 2022 by Denis Kiefel, Alex Plebuch and Matthias Günther. Startup's product portfolio These include solenoid valves, pressure valves, and electromotive pressure regulators used for regulating cryogenic and high-pressure fluids. These include methane and liquid hydrogen used as rocket fuel, and oxygen used as an oxidizer. These include technologies for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance of valves and intelligent standardization.

In addition to their use in space travel, the components can also be used in mobility applications. This allows the startup to support the role of hydrogen in the transport transition, from use in trucks to hydrogen-powered aircraft.
