About
The Apogee Engine Valve is a single stage, redundant solenoid coil thruster flow control device. It is a non-sliding fit valve, specifically designed for propulsion system applications. Nammo Space offers a range of solenoid valves for propulsion system and thruster applications, with the SVS06 range of flow control valves being compatible with a wide range of propellants used in chemical and green propulsion. The valve is normally closed, non-sliding fit, with dual or single coil designs, and features a fully welded construction ensuring a zero external leak rate. The inlet fitting is 3/8” Tube or AS4395 (straight or 90°), and the outlet flange incorporates the interface for the thruster. The solenoid actuator opens the valve for steady state flow and can also be used in pulse mode. Redundant coils are fitted for improved reliability. The inlet includes a 25µm particle filter. The outlet flange incorporates the interface with the thruster or other equipment, typically a bolted flange interface. The solenoid coils are located in a replaceable sleeve, mounted on the valve core. Various power and voltage options are available, and an internal heater can be supplied as an option. This thruster valve has been developed with ESA and Nammo Westcott, and can be used on engines like LEROS 1c and LEROS 4. It has also been used in a launcher cold gas roll control system, and another version is used on the H2O2 Roll and Attitude Control System on the Vega AVUM+ stage. There are 4 versions of this flow control valve.
