A thermostatic cartridge includes: a casing at least partially within and locked translationally along an axis a cartridge body that delimits a chamber, a hot and cold fluid inlet passages and a mixed fluid outlet passage; a slide valve regulating the temperature of the mixed fluid displaceable along the axis to close, in inverse proportions, the inlet passages; a thermostatic element; and a mechanism for adjusting a thermostatic regulation temperature mechanically and displaceably connected to the body and to secure the position of the piston of the element along the axis and to alter the piston position by actuating the adjustment mechanism to move relative to the body. To control the regulation temperature, the casing is rotationally mounted on the body such that the adjustment mechanism is actuated when the casing is between positions-corresponding to extreme low and high temperature values.

An equalization valve includes a valve body defining an inlet body, an outlet body, and a gate slot, the inlet body defining an inlet passage and the outlet body defining an outlet passage; a gate defining an equalization chamber, a first equalization channel, and a second equalization channel, the equalization chamber and the first and second equalization channels defining an equalization pathway across the gate; and an actuation stem slidable within the equalization chamber between a first chamber position, wherein the actuation stem blocks the equalization pathway, and a second chamber position, wherein the actuation stem unblocks the equalization pathway; wherein the actuation stem is further slidable within the gate slot of the valve body between a first valve position, wherein the gate is seated with the valve body, and a second valve position, wherein the gate is unseated from the valve body.

Example aspects of an equalization valve are disclosed. The equalization valve can comprise a gate defining a first face, a second face, and a sidewall extending between the first face and second face, the gate further defining an equalization chamber extending into the sidewall, a first equalization channel extending from the first face to the equalization chamber, and a second equalization channel extending from the second face to the equalization chamber; and an actuation stem defining a lower portion slidably engaged with the equalization chamber, the actuation stem movable between a first position, wherein the actuation stem blocks the first equalization channel to prevent the flow of one of gas and fluid through the equalization valve, and a second position, wherein the actuation stem unblocks the first equalization channel to allow the flow of the one of gas and fluid through the equalization valve.

A concentrated water regulating valve is provided in this disclosure, which includes: a valve body having a water inlet, a water outlet and a discharge port, a valve cavity being formed inside the valve body; a partition component provided in the valve body and configured to divide the valve cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity, the partition component being provided with a hole series communicating the first cavity with the second cavity, and the water inlet and the water outlet being communicated with the first cavity, and the discharge port being communicated with the second cavity; and a spool arranged in the second cavity for changing a flow section of the hole series. The first cavity is provided to be a cylindrical cavity; and at least the water inlet extends to the first cavity in a tangential direction, so that the concentrated water flows rotationally after entering the first cavity through the water inlet.

An encapsulated valve system includes a first housing portion having a first facing surface, the first facing surface comprising a plurality of branch pathways formed as a recess within the first facing surface. The valve system further includes a second housing portion having a second facing surface, the second facing surface comprising a plurality of branch pathways formed as a recess within the second facing surface. A disposable conduit is configured to be interposed between the first and second housing portions and disposed within the recess of the first facing surface and the recess of the second facing surface. The disposable conduit is thus sandwiched between the first and second facing surfaces. A plurality of pinch valve actuators are mounted on one or both of the first housing portion and the second housing portion, the plurality of pinch valve actuators configured to pinch the disposable conduit at selective branch pathways.

A sliding gate valve of a metallurgic vessel comprises a carriage. The carriage comprises a plate frame for supporting a first refractory plate and the plate frame is slideably mounted on a carriage support structure for sliding along a first axis. The carriage comprises a selecting device for selecting between a first stroke ΔX1 and a second stroke ΔX2 by moving a blocking member between a blocking and a non-blocking position. When the blocking member is located in the blocking position a first bumper portion of the plate frame is bumping into the blocking member if the plate frame is to slide beyond a nominal end-position. When the blocking member is located in the non-blocking position the first bumper portion is not bumping into the blocking member if the plate frame is to slide beyond a nominal end-position, thereby allowing the plate frame to slide beyond the nominal end-position to a service end-position.
