Technical Abstract (Limit 2000 characters):

The main technical objectives are:

1. Modify the design of the CCV geometry and materials to be a C_v 100 flight-weight valve
2. Optimize the camshaft’s impact on CCV disc motion to support bubble-tight sealing
3. Optimize the design of the flight-weight CCV to minimize mass and dimensions
4. Determine whether some or all of the parts of the modified CCV are candidates for additive manufacturing
5. Match the actuation and actuation mechanisms to the redesigned valve

          

          

     

Potential NASA Applications (Limit 550 characters):

The cryogenic flight-weight Cryogenic Cam Butterfly Valve will enable fluid management, including actuation, for cryogenic propellants (oxygen, hydrogen, and methane) for the Artemis Program. Proposer will evaluate whether some or all of the valve components are candidates for additive manufacturing, without compromising safety, reliability, durability, elasticity retention, and integrity throughout operating flow rates, pressures, and temperatures. Evaluations for cryogenic fluid management with this valve will be conducted at all NASA sites.

          

          

     

Potential Non-NASA Applications (Limit 400 characters):

The smaller size and valve performance features sought for this flight-weight valve closely mirror the sizes and features required for super-cooled liquid hydrogen and liquified natural gas production, storage, transfer, and distribution (truck, rail, barge, ship).
