Xenon/krypton regulation systems and valves
Key gas solutions for electric propulsion and scientific equipment
Air Liquide masters the entire propellant supply chain, from the production of xenon and krypton, to their delivery and use thanks to our custom-designed gas regulation solutions dedicated to electric propulsion and scientific equipment. These solutions will help you optimise your thruster performances.
Specifically, our extreme low-mass and low-power latch valves are very useful for scientific equipment and for driving the distribution of the sample and the carrier gas within the gas chromatograph’s columns.
