SAFETY VALVE FOR SUMP PUMP
20220163126 · 2022-05-26 ·

A sump pump system for a residential building has a sump with an inlet that receives water from an external source, a pump positioned with the sump, the pump having a pump inlet in fluid communication with the sump and an outlet in communication with a fluid destination, a valve connected to the inlet of the sump, the valve being movable between an open position in which fluid is permitted to enter the sump via the inlet, and a closed position, in which fluid is prevented from entering the sump via the inlet, wherein the valve is biased toward the closed position, and a valve restraint that is electrically actuated between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the valve restraint holds the valve open and in the second state, the valve restraint releases the valve.

TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE VALVE

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for interrupting fluid flow when experiencing fuel leaking conditions, such as an out of specification connection between the fuel source and a device utilizing the fluid. A distal end of a valve body has interfaces with at least a portion of a connection to a fluid supply; and a proximal end interfaces with at least a portion of a fuel intake. An internal passage runs between the proximal end and distal ends of. A displacement member in the internal passage comprises a distal portion that extends out of the valve to engage a valve to the fuel supply. A retention cap selectably engaged with the valve body can comprise a material that deforms under force at a predetermined temperature, resulting in a release of the displacement member under a biasing force form a biasing component between the cap and displacement member.

Activating trip functions of a safety valve positioner by way of a control panel to achieve a safe state
11732820 · 2023-08-22 · ·

The described methods and systems enable a control panel for a safety valve in a safety system of a process control environment to couple to a safety loop that couples a logic solver to a valve positioner for the safety valve. The control panel may drive a loop current on the safety loop to a desired range, thereby causing the valve positioner to respond by initiating a desired function triggered by the loop current entering the desired range. The desired function may be a trip function, a reset function, or a stroke test function.

VACUUM STORAGE TANK
