Hi, I am presently working on coordinated fire fighting robot...For that i wish to use a small sized actuator for ejecting gas(extinguishing fire) out of actuator present in that robot(CO2).shall i use a solenoid valve?..that will eject gas when electromagnetised(which receives signal from a controller when to get magnetised)..is there any specific device available that will satisfy the above mentioned purposes.
For co-ordinates system encoder on wheel is used for determining the Rotation of wheel( i.e.Diameter) and a IR counter will count the rotaion or degree.......
Society of robots have tutorial of it.

Hi, thanks for the reply.. But my question is not about the co-ordinates.,but the apparatus used to emit Co2 gas from a actuator actuated by a electrical signal...( may be a solenoid i.e for the purpose of fire extinguishing).Is there any specific apparatus for this purpose?

Doesn't look like it to me. He asked about a valve, you told him about an encoder.
Sundar -
A CO2 tank can easily generate over 1000psi (the pressure depends almost entirely on the temperature). A valve that can control 1000psi directly is expensive and difficult to make. Even a refrigeration solenoid valve isn't good for much more than 450psi. Also, you probably don't want to send the full 1000psi to the nozzle.
