The Electronic Regulator Project at TRW has constructed a breadboard system demonstrating pressure regulator operation over a wide range of flow conditions. The test hardware is composed of pneumatic-actuated, solenoid-controlled valves and associated tubing, gas volumes and transducers. System control, data recording and data reduction functions are controlled by a 486-class PC running Labview software. This breadboard system has demonstrated that a single system, using several control modes, is versatile enough to be used across the TRW spacecraft product line, from the very low Xenon flows associated with an electric propulsion system, to the high Helium flows required in a constant thrust situation such as in the AXAF spacecraft. A conceptual flight version, composed largely of off-the-shelf parts, has been designed and evaluated relative to requirements of various TRW spacecraft.
