A VALVE WITH A SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY BASED ACTUATOR
A single one time use valve, based on a Shape Memory Alloy (hereinafter—SMA) actuating component, wherein the valve comprises a nipple component given to shearing and shoving from the instant of its being severed off, in a manner that enables passage of the gas or the liquid from the valve's inlet flow opening to the valve's outlet flow opening wherein the valve is a valve of the normally closed type, or enables stopping of said gas or liquid passage from the inlet flow opening to the outlet flow opening, wherein the valve is a valve of the normally open type, and wherein the valve is characterized by that the inlet flow opening and outlet flow opening are formed substantially on at least one plain, that extends in its direction wherein it is substantially orthogonal to the valve's house assembly lengthwise axis and wherein a physical demarcation exists all the time between the gas or liquid to the valve's SMA made actuating component.
TORSIONAL SPRING ACTUATED THERMAL VALVE
A valve includes a valve body forming a channel defining a fluid flow path extending from an inlet port to an outlet port of the valve body via a gallery disposed therebetween, an opening disposed in communication with the gallery, a valve assembly at least partially disposed through the opening and in the gallery, and a set pin having a central longitudinal axis. A valve disc of the valve assembly moves between a first position spaced from a valve seat of the valve body and a second position in contact with the valve seat. The set pin is coupled to and at least partly supported by the valve assembly to maintain the valve assembly in the first position. The fluid flow path allows a fluid to flow through the valve body in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction. The set pin is adapted to disengage a portion of the valve assembly when contacted by a fluid traversing the fluid flow path in the second direction, allowing the valve disc to move to the second position.
CONTROL ELEMENT WITH BUCKLED MEMBER
A control element having a beam member divided into an actuation section and a valve section positioned on opposing sides of a pivot member, in which active control of the actuation section causes buckling of the valve section to bring the valve section from a closed state to an open state or causes relaxing of the valve section to bring the valve section from an open state to a closed state.
BI-STABLE QUICK-RELEASE VALVE
A valve for applying an emergency brake of a rail vehicle includes a valve housing, an actuation member to be activated by a user, an actuation rod connecting the actuation member with a valve head, wherein the valve head is adapted to abut on a valve seat, a guidance for guiding the actuation rod being provided within the valve housing, and a first spring adapted to push the valve head against the valve seat, wherein the actuation rod includes a first groove and a second groove, and wherein a first following member is provided between the actuation rod and the guidance, being adapted to stably rest in the first groove or the second groove.
SERVO VALVE FLAPPER AND NOZZLE STRUCTURE
An integral flapper and nozzle structure for a servo valve assembly whereby the flapper, orifices and nozzles are formed by sheets of metal formed into a single component.
DUAL SOLENOID INITIATOR VALVE FOR COMPRESSED FLUID SOURCES
A dual solenoid valve for a compressed fluid source may comprise a bobbin and a first solenoid coil located around the bobbin. A second solenoid coil may be located radially outward of the first solenoid coil. An insulating layer may be located between the first solenoid coil and the second solenoid coil. A plunger may be biased away from the bobbin.
Servo valve flapper and nozzle structure
An integral flapper and nozzle structure for a servo valve assembly whereby the flapper, orifices and nozzles are formed by sheets of metal formed into a single component.
Bi-Stable Valve
A valve arrangement for use in a parking brake system of a commercial vehicle or trailer, includes a differential piston having a first section and a second section, wherein the second section has a smaller diameter compared to the first section, and wherein there is a fluidic connection between the first section and the second section. The arrangement includes a housing with a bore, in which the differential piston is adapted to move. The bore has at least two sections, wherein the first section corresponds to the diameter of the first section of the differential piston, and the second section corresponds to the diameter of the second section of the differential piston, and wherein a step is formed between the first section and second section of the bore. A first passage and a second passage are arranged and axially spaced in the bore, and a third passage is arranged in or next to the second section of the bore. When the differential piston is in a first end position, the second section of the differential piston rests against the step, and a connection of the first passage and the second passage within the bore is provided. When the differential piston is in a second end position, a connection of the first passage and the second passage within the bore is blocked.
Low-profile valve, pipeline and immersion cooling system
A low-profile and small-size valve to a shut off a flow of fluid in a pipeline includes a frame, a tube, a moving part, a lever, an elastic part, a latch, and a trigger. The tube is movable with the moving part. The lever is rotatable around an axis. The elastic part can push the lever to rotate after the trigger pushes the buckle away from the lever to unlatch the lever and allow rotation. During the rotation of the lever, the lever pulls on the moving part, and the moving part pulls on the tube together to disconnect the tube from the pipe. The valve improves the convenience and efficiency of shutting off a flow of fluid. A pipeline and an immersion cooling system is also disclosed.
Cross-activated pressure relief apparatus
A pressure relief apparatus for venting a tank comprising an inlet port, an outlet port, a closure member retained, relative to the inlet and outlet ports, for preventing, or substantially preventing, fluid communication between the inlet port and the outlet port, a trigger mechanism including a temperature response portion, and a compartment for receiving pressurized fluid from the outlet port and communicating the received pressurized fluid to the trigger mechanism. The trigger mechanism and the closure member are cooperatively configured to release the closure member and establish fluid communication between the inlet port and the outlet port, thereby venting the tank, upon detection of a temperature at or above a predetermined temperature threshold or upon pressurization of the compartment at or above a predetermined pressure threshold.
