ECLSS High Pressure Flow Control and Isolation Valves



Moog produces a variety of fluid control components used in human space vehicles as part of their environmental control and life support systems (ECLSS). The components include mechanical pressure regulators, manual and electrically actuated valves, and passive components such as quick disconnects. These components are used in high- and low-pressure gas control systems, as well as liquid fluid control for thermal management.

Key Features

  • High pressure O2 and N2 at 4500 psi, with mass flow rates of 0.02 lbm/sec (O2 and N2)

Electrically-actuated valves are 28 VDC devices that use brushless DC motors and solenoids to drive the units open or closed, and include normally-open / normallyclosed and latching designs.
