DSM, working with VACCO Industries and the NASA Johnson Space Center, developed a high-force piezoelectric actuator for use in cryogenic vacuum environments. The actuator, integrated with a two inch VACCO valve, was tested in an integrated attitude control system by the NASA Energy Systems Division. The system is suitable for controlling the flow of propellants such as liquid oxygen and liquid methane, but testing thus far has been with liquid nitrogen. This video shows an approximate 280 gpm flow rate resulting from fully opening the run-tank 2” isolation valve and venting the LN2 to the atmosphere.
