Low pressure multi-purpose latch valve offers greater flexibility to system designers
Orchard Park, New York - Cobham introduces at the
33rd Space Symposium (Stand 415) an advanced low
pressure, multi-purpose Electric Propulsion Latch Valve as part of
our continued strategy to redefine what the market has to offer
today. The low pressure latching valve, used to isolate
pressure to satellites thrusters, offers propulsion system
designers greater flexibility with its ability to support a wide
range of flow and it can be used in electric, cold gas, and
chemical propulsion systems.
The coaxial valve operates at the typical, lower electric
propulsion flow rates and can also flow to a much higher rate
instantaneously with negligible pressure drop to address a wider
spectrum of system design needs. The valve is exceptionally
well suited for systems that require multiple propulsion systems,
large electric propulsion thrusters or where a low pressure drop is
required.
"This innovative, low pressure latch valve offers the electric
propulsion community more capability, flexibility and economy in a
single valve by performing more than one task and eliminating
multiple component types. All this added capacity is provided
in an exceptionally low weight and small envelope," said Eric
Stellrecht, Product Director, Space, at Cobham Mission Systems. "We
also have the unique capability to integrate this valve with our
many other propulsion valve and tank products into mass and volume
efficient assemblies to allow satellites to carry more
payload. We can adjust our approach to fit any constraint,
making it extremely flexible and customizable."
Cobham's electric propulsion products include low pressure and
high pressure latch valves, mechanical regulators, miniature
valves, and complete feed systems. In addition to satellite
propulsion technologies, Cobham is also qualifying launch vehicle
propulsion check and relief valves that will help send NASA further
into deep space. These advanced technologies and other
pneumatic products, including composite tanks, pyrotechnic valves,
service valves, and solenoid valves, can be leveraged to meet any
performance, budget or production quantity target.
