An active clearance control valve (ACC Valve) includes a valve housing with a thermal shield provided externally to said housing, wherein said valve housing and said thermal shield have been integrally formed as one component. This may be achieved using additive manufacturing methods. Cooling channels and/or ribs may also be provided on or in the thermal shield.

A system for adjusting transmission oil temperature and a heat exchange assembly are provided. The heat exchange assembly includes a heat exchange core, a valve assembly, an adapter base, and a mounting plate fixed with the heat exchange core. The valve assembly is arranged in or partially located in a second passage of the heat exchange core. The valve assembly has a first valve port and a first notch. The heat exchange core further includes a through passage in communication with a fourth port. When a first valve port is opened, a third port is in communication with the fourth port through a first passage, the second passage, the first notch and the first valve port in turn. When the first valve port is closed, the third port is in communication with a fifth port through the first passage, the second passage and the first notch in turn.

There is provided an apparatus comprising a torque motor comprising a spring, armature, flapper assembly (“SAFA”), a body, wherein the spring, armature, flapper assembly is mounted onto the body, and a cap enclosing the spring, armature, flapper assembly. One or more cooling passages are provided within the body and are configured to receive cooling air and direct the cooling air onto the spring, armature, flapper assembly of the torque motor.

A controller assembly comprises an electromechanical actuator and a single-stage pneumatic flow switch configured to thermally protect the electromechanical actuator by a supply of cooling fluid. The single-stage pneumatic flow switch is movable between a first mode in which the switch is configured to open a cooling fluid flow passage and a second mode in which the switch is configured to close the cooling fluid flow passage. The electromechanical actuator is coupled to a valve movable between an open and a closed configuration.

A motor-driven throttle valve for an exhaust duct and having: a tubular duct, which is designed so that exhaust gases can flow through it; a throttle shutter, which is arranged inside the tubular duct and is mounted so as to rotate around a rotation axis; a first shaft, which is mounted so as to rotate around the rotation axis and supports the throttle shutter; an electric actuator, which is provided with a second shaft and is designed to rotate the first shaft around the rotation axis; and a tank, which is “U”-shaped, embraces a part of an external surface of the electric actuator, has an inlet pipe configured to allow a flow of a cooling liquid directed into the tank, and has an outlet pipe configured to allow a flow of the cooling liquid directed out of the tank.

A compact EGR valve uses a BLDC motor to drive a valve member between a closed position blocking flow of exhaust gases and a range of open positions where exhaust gasses flow through the valve. A drive mechanism includes a nut in a fixed position and a screw arranged to rotate within the nut so that rotation of the screw causes the screw to move axially relative to the nut. The screw is coupled to a valve member and the valve member moves axially and rotationally with the screw. The screw slides along the length of a motor shaft as the screw moves axially relative to the nut and motor. Rotation of the valve member within the valve chamber during axial movement aids in removal of deposits that may accumulate within the valve housing.

An exemplary thermal management system includes, among other things, a valve, a radiator loop configured to be connected to the valve, a power electronics loop configured to be connected to the valve, a heater loop configured to be connected to the valve, and a battery loop configured to be connected to the valve. The valve is configured to connect one or more of the radiator, power electronics, heater, and battery loops together and the valve is configured to isolate at least one of the radiator, power electronics, heater, and battery loops from any remaining loops of the radiator, power electronics, heater, and battery loops.

In some examples, a valve flexure for a flow control valve is provided. An example valve flexure comprises a first diaphragm; a second diaphragm, the second diaphragm directly or indirectly connected to the first diaphragm about a peripheral portion of the valve flexure, the connected first and second diaphragms enclosing an inner volume of the valve flexure; and a heat transfer medium disposed within the inner volume of the valve flexure.

The invention relates to a 3-port valve for passing fluids therethrough, having a valve body, a port, a first sub-port and a second sub-port, with the port being adjoined by a main line which ends in a connecting region, said first sub-port having a first sub-port line that is connected to the connecting region, said second sub-port having a second sub-port line that is connected to the connecting region, with at least one valve member being arranged in the connecting region, which valve member can be displaced along a valve member axis between an opening position and a closed position thereof in the connecting region, so that, in a first valve position, the port is fluidically connected to the first sub-port, in a second valve position, the port is fluidically connected to the second sub-port, in a third valve position, the port is fluidically connected to both the first and second sub-ports, in a fourth valve position, the port is fluidically connected neither to the first sub-port nor to the second sub-port. The invention is characterized in that the valve body is formed from a high-tempered steel, or other suitable material, with the valve body being produced from a solid ingot and with the connecting region, the main port, the first sub-port line and the second sub-port line having been machined into the steel ingot. Heat transfer medium lines for passing a HTM therethrough are also machined into the same valve body to regulate the temperature of the fluid. Simultaneously or alternatively, electric heating cartridge receptacles may be machined into the valve body ingot.

A valve assembly for a turbine engine includes a valve arranged in an air flow path. The valve has a shaft. The valve is movable between an open position and a closed position. A hydraulic actuator is coupled to the shaft. The hydraulic actuator is configured to utilize fuel as a working fluid. The hydraulic actuator is configured to move the valve between the open position and the closed position.
