Project : Design and build electrically actuated main fuel valve

Description : The final valve connecting the pressurized fuel line to the test engine needs to be activated and controlled remotely. This project is to design and build a servo / motor driven valve which is capable of opening the main fuel valve.

Requirements :

The valve which has been selected for use as the main fuel valve is a Sharpe 39036 1/2 in ball valve. (see doc file for specification sheet).

constraints:

Deliverable: The valve needs to be able to be reliably opened and closed. Will need to be able to withstand strenuous testing.
