The present invention relates to safety mechanisms for high-pressure fluid delivery systems. Particularly, the invention relates to a breakaway device which prevents uncontrolled whipping of the conduit ends upon a rupture. A heat dissipating coupling, permitting operation of the conduit system at desired temperatures, is also included, as is a breakaway device provided with such a heat dissipation feature.

A valve unit for an aircraft is provided. The valve unit includes valve assembly; and a servo controller coupled to the valve assembly and configured to control operation of the valve assembly. At least a portion of at least one of the valve assembly or servo controller is formed by a high temperature aluminum alloy.

Disclosed herein is a gas panel enclosure including a divider plate for separating various components of the gas panel. In one example, a gas panel assembly may include an enclosure defining first, second, and third chambers, wherein the first and third chambers are separated from the second chamber by a divider, wherein the first chamber is connected to an exhaust, and wherein the divider comprises openings permitting fluid flow between the second and first chambers. The assembly may include electrical components within the third chamber, wherein the third and first chambers are separated by an internal wall. The gas panel assembly may further include a gas sticks within the second chamber, wherein the electrical components are separated from the gas stick assembly by the divider and by the internal wall to prevent fluid flow from the second chamber to the third chamber.
