DSTI's engineering team designed a fluid and electrical transfer solution for a new thermal control system, allowing spacecraft to be outfitted with steerable (rotating) radiators capable of being directed away from the sun's powerful rays; reducing the need for large radiators and allowing more on-board "real estate".

After extensive dynamic testing and engineering refinements, DSTI's space-ready fluid rotary union design met the project's requirements reducing thermal loss from vapor to liquid lines and allowing data to communicate to the thermal control system.

The Engineering team at DSTI has partnered with the world’s leading oil & gas companies to design a product that helps reduce risk and installation time by integrating advanced subsea swivel technology in flexible flow lines used for oil production. As the connection is lowered to the sea floor the swivel allows the lines to move freely without resistance; reducing the amount of stress and loads being applied to the connection equipment.

Specialized bearing design and metal-to-metal sealing technology is used to endure the harsh underwater conditions; including depths reaching more than 11,000 FT and pressures exceeding 10,000 PSI.

DSTI’s engineering team worked with a leading provider of high-tech radar, communication and electronic warfare systems to develop a specialized fluid rotary union with a mechanical face seal engineered to meet the cooling demands for air, land and sea radar systems for military applications.

The Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar system underwent and passed strict testing including five thermal cycles with temperatures ranging from -40°F to 160°F, a 100-hour media flow test, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
