TECHNICAL ABSTRACT (Limit 2000 characters, approximately 200 words)
Two cryogenic flow-control valves of diameters 1/2" and 2" will be built and tested. Based on cryogenically-proven Venturi Off-Set Technology (VOST) they have no stem-actuator, few moving parts, and an overall cylindrical shape. Intended to demonstrate a breakthrough in cryogenic flow control, VOST provides precise linear flow control across its entire dynamic range, holds position without power and requires low actuation energy.
POTENTIAL NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS (Limit 1500 characters, approximately 150 words)
Future spaceport systems, advanced cryocoolers, launch vehicles, high-pressure flow-control valves for engine testing.
POTENTIAL NON-NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS (Limit 1500 characters, approximately 150 words)
Petroleum refining, specialty chemical production, industrial flow-control valves, high purity pharmacuetical production and food processing equipment.
