Cobham, which has multiple locations throughout the US, has introduced an advanced low pressure, multi-purpose Electric Propulsion Latch Valve.
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 with negligible pressure drop to address a wider spectrum of system design needs. The valve is designed for systems that require multiple propulsion systems, large electric propulsion thrusters or where a low pressure drop is required.
