High Performance Cold Gas Inflation System Replaces Inflators in Airbag Development Testing
The airbag industry has long sought a tool that can replace actual inflators during
development testing of airbags, cushions, instrument panels and seats. Microsys is pleased to announce the release of the world’s first Cold Gas System with a
performance level fast enough to serve as a true inflator replacement.
Powered by a proprietary ultra fast high-throughput valve, the new Microsys Cold
Gas System can generate pressure curves that replicate airbag inflator performance, from extremely fast inflators used with side and curtain airbags to high-volume inflators designed for passenger-side airbags.
Both single-stage and even dual-stage inflators curves can be generated, using a Microsys designed

allows adjustments in gas quantity from 0.5 to 8 moles, and allows speed adjustments that cover the full range of known airbag inflators. ... full story in pdf format
