Floodwater redistribution assembly
A floodwater redistribution assembly for redirecting flood waters to a predetermined location for irrigation and municipal water service includes a subterranean vault that is positioned adjacent to a body of water known for periodic flooding. An inlet pipe is integrated into the subterranean vault to direct the water from the body of water into the subterranean vault. An outlet pipe is integrated into the subterranean vault to direct the water outwardly to a predetermined location for the purposes of irrigation and municipal water service. A ball valve is positioned within the subterranean vault to facilitate the water to flow into the outlet pipe. A ball valve control unit is coupled to the ball valve. The ball valve control unit is in remote communication with a remote control source and the ball valve control unit actuates the ball valve between an open position and a closed position.
Cartridge flow rate adjusting assembly with compensating chamber and hydraulic valve comprising the cartridge flow rate adjusting assembly
A cartridge flow rate adjusting assembly of a hydraulic valve may include a rod having a first end and a second end, a shutter integrally formed with the first end of the rod and to slidingly positioned against a passage opening of the valve for adjusting flow. The assembly may also include an elastic element to hold the rod with the shutter in a monostable position with the opening of the valve. A plunger element may be integrally formed with the rod and interposed between the shutter and second end. The assembly may further include a conduit formed in the rod. The opening of the valve may be in fluid communication with a portion of the chamber disposed between the plunger and second end so that a pressure in the portion of the chamber is equal to a pressure in the passage opening.
BLOCKING DEVICE FOR PIPELINES FOR THE PASSAGE OF PRESSURIZED GAS, OF THE PILOT-OPERATED TYPE, AND PRESSURE REGULATOR FOR SAID BLOCKING DEVICE
Blocking device for pressurized gas pipelines includes: a blocking valve, which includes: a connection body; a movable shutter; a stem carrying the shutter; a fluid-dynamic actuator, configured to translate the stem; thrust means to bring the shutter from an operating position of opening to an operating position of complete closure; a control system for controlled actuation of the fluid-dynamic actuator, having a by-pass group for equalizing upstream pressures in an upstream chamber and downstream pressures in a downstream chamber, and a pressure reducer group interconnected with the bypass group, the pressure reducer group configured to receive a motorization fluid at a supply pressure as input, and to supply the fluid-dynamic actuator with a motorization pressure through a motorization line, the control system having a pressure differential selector that detects a signal of the upstream pressure and a signal of the supply pressure.
Systems and methods for flow sensor back pressure adjustment for mass flow controller
A mass flow control apparatus is capable of controlling a flow rate of a fluid to a tool. Pressure of the fluid is regulated by a solenoid valve, which receives signals from a control module. Various set points may be inputted to the control module, whereby control module receives pressure sensor signals from across a flow restrictor and adjusts the solenoid valve to control the fluid flow rate to equal a set point.
