A dispenser body having a liquid inlet, a discharge outlet, and a flow channel capable of directing a flow of the hot melt adhesive from the liquid inlet to the discharge outlet. The flow channel includes a valve seat between the liquid inlet and the discharge outlet. The dispensing module further includes a needle having a valve member mounted for movement in the dispenser body between an open position in which the valve member is disengaged with the valve seat allowing liquid flow from the discharge outlet and a closed position in which the valve member is engaged with the valve seat preventing liquid flow from the discharge outlet. A first electromagnetic coil is activated to move the needle to the open position and a second electromagnetic coil is activated to move the needle to the closed position.

1. A dispensing module for dispensing a liquid, the module comprising: a dispenser body having a liquid inlet, a discharge outlet, a flow channel directing a flow of the liquid from said liquid inlet to said discharge outlet, and a valve seat within said flow channel between said liquid inlet and said discharge outlet;a needle having a valve member mounted for movement in said dispenser body between an open position in which said valve member is disengaged with said valve seat allowing hot melt adhesive flow from said discharge outlet, and a closed position in which said valve member is engaged with said valve seat preventing liquid flow from said discharge outlet;an actuator housing having an actuator operatively coupled to said needle, said actuator configured to actuate said needle between the open and closed positions to selectively dispense hot melt adhesive from said discharge outlet, said actuator further comprising an armature coupled with said needle and first and second electromagnetic coils positioned proximate to said armature, wherein said first electromagnetic coil is activated to move said needle to the open position and said second electromagnetic coil is activated to move said needle to the closed position; anda spacer member between said dispenser body and actuator housing defining a thermal barrier therebetween, wherein said spacer member includes a cavity and at least one aperture communicating with said cavity and opening to an exterior of said dispensing module, and wherein a portion of said needle traverses through said cavity. 2. The module of claim 1, wherein the first and second electromagnetic coils are configured to operate approximately 180 degrees out of phase. 3. The module of claim 1, wherein said first and second electromagnetic coils further comprise solenoid coils. 4. The module of claim 1, wherein the needle is configured to move in a reciprocating manner. 5. A dispensing module for dispensing a liquid, the module comprising: a dispenser body having a liquid inlet, a discharge outlet, a flow channel directing a flow of the liquid from said liquid inlet to said discharge outlet, and a valve seat within said flow channel between said liquid inlet and said discharge outlet;a needle having a valve member mounted for movement in said dispenser body between an open position in which said valve member is disengaged with said valve seat allowing hot melt adhesive flow from said discharge outlet, and a closed position in which said valve member is engaged with said valve seat preventing liquid flow from said discharge outlet;an actuator housing having an actuator operatively coupled to said needle, said actuator configured to actuate said needle between the open and closed positions to selectively dispense hot melt adhesive from said discharge outlet, said actuator further comprising an armature coupled with said needle and first and second electromagnetic coils positioned proximate to said armature, wherein said first electromagnetic coil is activated to move said needle to the open position and said second electromagnetic coil is activated to move said needle to the closed position; anda jacket enveloping at least a portion of said actuator to thereby define a cavity between said jacket and said actuator, said cavity adapted to receive a fluid for cooling said actuator. 6. A system for dispensing a fluid, comprising: the liquid dispensing module of claim 1; anda controller configured to generate at least one signal to activate said first and second electromagnetic coils, respectively. 7. A method of dispensing liquid, the method comprising: directing a liquid into a liquid inlet communicating with a discharge outlet and a flow channel, the flow channel directing a flow of the liquid from the liquid inlet to the discharge outlet, and a valve seat being within said flow channel between the liquid inlet and the discharge outlet; andoperating an actuator, disposed at least partially within an actuator housing, to move a needle having a valve member between an open position in which the valve member is disengaged with the valve seat allowing liquid to flow from said discharge outlet, and a closed position in which said valve member is engaged with said valve seat preventing liquid flow from said discharge outlet, the actuator having an armature coupled with the needle and first and second electromagnetic coils positioned proximate to the armature,wherein a portion of said needle moves through a cavity of a spacer member disposed between, and defining a thermal barrier therebetween, said actuator housing and a dispenser body containing said flow channel, the spacer member further including at least one aperture communicating with said cavity and opening to an exterior of a dispensing module including said actuator housing and dispensing body, andwherein operating the actuator further comprises activating the first electromagnetic coil to move the needle to the open position and activating the second electromagnetic coil to move the needle to the closed position. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein activating the first or second electromagnetic coil includes generating at least one signal with a controller. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the first and second electromagnetic coils are activated such that they operate approximately 180 degrees out of phase. 10. The method of claim 7, further comprising: generating a signal to move the needle from the open position to the closed position before the needle is in the open position. 11. The method of claim 7, further comprising: generating a signal to move the needle from the closed position to the open position before the needle is in the closed position. 12. The method of claim 7, further comprising: directing a fluid into a cavity between the actuator and a jacket surrounding at least part of the actuator, in order to cool the actuator. 13. The method of claim 7, wherein activating one of the first or second electromagnetic coils attracts the armature towards the activated coil. 14. The method of claim 7, wherein activating one of the first or second electromagnetic coils repels the armature from the activated coil. 15. The method of claim 7, wherein the needle moves in a reciprocating manner.
