Valve

Pyroalliance designs and manufactures different kinds of hermetic pyrotechnic valves used in the complex fuel management system of missile turbojet engines:

Tank Vent valve, One-way fuel valve (Normally Closed), Two-ways fuel valve (Normally Closed / Normally Open).

More generally, Pyroalliance delivers complete pyrotechnic chains adapted to its customers’ needs. They are designed and manufactured under Pyroalliance design authority.

Valve at a glance

Benefits of pyrotechnics

  • Perfect hermeticity of the valve as opposed to nonpyro valves (the mechanical barrier is ensured by the continuity of the material before getting breached by the cutter)
  • While and even after functioning the valve retains all gas generated from the pyrotechnic components and has no external outgazing
  • The functioning time of such equipment is extremely short

Defence applications

  • Fuel system of missile turbojet engines (cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, etc.)
