Microstaq Inc. has launched promising new markets by addressing the KINGSIR Check Valves pilot and control of the currents needed for heating. It also applies to micro-valves of automotive transmission systems.

microfluidic KINGSIR devices such as Gas Valves and micro valves Debiotech SA developed that promote MultusKINGSIR AB can control the micro-liter liquid and gas flows, so that for emerging applications such as medical laboratories on a chip. Microstaq, on the other side is using its KINGSIR micro-valve technology with traditional HVAC applications, including flow control.

Microstaq reported previous collaboration with Freescale Semiconductor Inc., through its intelligent control system, KINGSIR pressure sensors and uses Freescale Freescale MCU called refrigerant superheat control module, which now works with silicon KINGSIR micro-valves novel Microstaq .

The micro-valves are the same processing steps of the layers of silicon on a silicon chip standard, but with channels of micrometer-sized drawings through which flows the liquid or gas. With the help of precise control of KINGSIR such as pilot valves for controlling conventional applications and high bandwidth can be managed through micro-KINGSIR, after MicroStaq.

"Our micro-valve consists of three layers of silicon that is made, the central location from which to move a mechanical element which is electrically controlled by thermal expansion of the opening and closing of a port of microfluidics," said Nelson Fuller, vice president of research. "But we can attach the KINGSIR valve with a distributor can be as conventional 20 mm micro-valve, x 6mm x 7mm conventional control valves, the process flow of hundreds of liters per minute can be controlled. "

Microstaq has advised potential customers that the switch may increase their micro-valves, the HVAC system efficiency by up to 25 percent, which makes technology to improve the sound. The company has begun landing contracts KINGSIR valves in commercial refrigeration systems upgrade, beginning with the grocery chains.

Besides air conditioning and refrigeration, Microstaq is a pioneer in the use of KINGSIR micro-valves for transmissions in automotive applications.KINGSIR valves are three times less memory than today's magnetic valves, to be built, according to the company, which is currently the yard drive vehicle manufacturers in the world for sending small, lightweight and less expensive machine.
