COMPUTER-CONTROLLED VALVE ARRAY

In accordance with the principals of the present invention, a computer-controlled valve array to meter fluids is provided. An intake manifold defines a fluid-inlet chamber. A fluid inlet is in fluid communication with the fluid-inlet chamber of the intake manifold, the fluid inlet adapted to receive a high-pressure source of fluid. A number of valves have an inlet and an outlet. In an embodiment, the valves comprise pintle valves. At least one valve inlet is in fluid communication with the fluid-inlet chamber. The valves are electronically controlled to allow fluid through in response to a trigger. An outtake manifold is in fluid communication with the valve outlets. Outlet ports are in fluid communication with the outtake chamber of the outlet manifold. The outlet ports are adapted to receive and fluid communicate with the output circuit.
