Electrically operated gas flow regulating valve
11466790 · 2022-10-11 · ·

An electrically operated gas flow regulating valve in which a needle valve body (2) is moved axially through a motion conversion mechanism (4) by the rotation of an electric motor (3). The motion conversion mechanism (4) includes: a guide tube (5) in which is formed axially elongated slits (51) with which cam pins (21) fixed to the needle valve (2) are slidably engaged; and a tubular cam body (6) having a spiral cam part with which the cam pins (21) are engages through elongated slits (51). In an arrangement in which one of the guide tube (5) and the cam body (6), e.g., the guide tube (5), is rotated by the electric motor (3), hysteresis is restrained from occurring. The cam part disposed in the cam body (6) is constituted by a spirally inclined sides (61) with which the cam pins (21) are brought into contact from axial one direction. A spring member (7) is disposed so as to urge the cam pins (21) in the other of the axial directions toward the spirally inclined sides (61).

Torsional No Filter No Run System and Method

A filtration system comprises a housing and a shell housing removably coupled to the housing. A valve comprise a valve housing and a plunger. The plunger comprises a seal member structured to seal an opening in the valve housing. The plunger is axially movable between a closed position, in which the seal member seals the opening, and an open position, in which the seal member does not seal the opening, thereby permitting fluid to flow through the valve housing. A filter element comprises filter media and an endcap. The endcap comprises an alignment tab configured to rotationally secure the filter element with respect to the shell housing when the shell housing is received in the housing. The endcap comprise a valve interaction projection structured to transfer rotation of the filter element and the shell housing to the plunger during installation of the filter element.

AN ADJUSTABLE VALVE

The present invention relates to adjustable flow control valves, for example to an Adjustable Pressure Limiting (APL) valve. The adjustable valve (2) described comprises a valve body (4) comprising a valve seat (6), a valve member (10) movable relative to the valve seat (6), a first valve cap (20), a second valve cap (50) and a biasing element (30) to bias the valve member (10) away from the first valve cap (20). The first valve cap (20) is movable to increase the biasing force applied by the biasing element (30). The second valve cap (50) is engageable with the first valve cap (20) to prevent such movement of the first valve cap (20) beyond a selected position, but to allow movement of the first valve cap (20) in an opposite direction, way from said position.

Valve stem packing assemblies may include at least one end ring and at least one sealing ring. The at least one end ring may include an inner ring and an outer ring. Valves include a valve body, a valve stem, and a valve stem packing assembly.

Aviation valve with status indicator
11408513 · 2022-08-09 · ·

The invention relates to a shut-off valve for controlling flow of a pressurised gas. The shut-off valve comprises a body defining a passage extending between a gas inlet channel and a gas outlet channel, and a sealing element arranged to, in a first position, close the passage, and in a second position, open the passage to allow gas to flow between the gas inlet channel and the gas outlet channel through the passage. The invention also relates to a method for controlling flow of a pressurised gas by means of a shut-off valve.

HYDRAULIC ISOLATION VALVE
20220275881 · 2022-09-01 ·

A hydraulic isolation valve having a body comprising a first fluid port configured to allow pressure to enter the body, a second fluid port configured to allow the pressure that entered the body to exit the body; a central bore configured to intersect the first fluid port and the second fluid port and a sealing element axially disposed within the central bore.

Flow control valve

An electric valve includes a valve body, a spool assembly, and a coil assembly. The spool assembly includes a piston, a valve seat, a valve needle, and a rotor. The valve seat is provided with a first valve port. The valve body is provided with a first port, a second port, a second valve port, and a bypass channel. One end of the first valve port keeps communication with the first port, and another end of the first valve port is in communication with the second port by means of the bypass channel. A second valve port is arranged in a bottom wall of the cavity having an open end, at least part of an outer wall of the valve seat is in sealing engagement with an inner wall of the cavity having an open end. A third valve port is arranged between the second valve port and the second port. A check valve is directly disposed between the third valve port and the second port.

Valve system with position indicator

A valve system having a valve position indicator is disclosed. The valve position indicator allows for viewing of the valve position from one or more viewing locations. In one example, the valve position indicator includes a side valve open/close indicator and a top valve open/close indicator on a valve assembly. An indicator locking mechanism securely locks the valve position indicator in alignment with a position of a control valve.

Angle Stop Assembly

An automatic angle stop assembly for a urinal or toilet may include an angle stop adjustment device and an angle stop. The automatic angle stop assembly may automatically control flow through the angle stop to a flush valve. The automatic angle stop assembly may include a motor and an adjustment screw. A method for closing the angle stop may include sensing a flow condition, automatically rotating a motor based on the flow condition, and closing the angle stop.
