A device for controlling the flow of a fluid through a conduit from an upstream side of the device to a downstream side of the device. The device includes an upstream valve casing defining an inlet, a downstream valve casing defining an outlet aperture, and a valve core secured between the upstream valve casing and the downstream valve casing. The upstream valve casing, the downstream valve casing and the valve core are formed as discrete parts. The valve core includes a housing defining a control volume. The valve member is mounted on the housing and positioned on the upstream side of the outlet aperture, the valve member being arranged to move reciprocally to selectively open and close the outlet aperture, thereby controlling flow of the fluid through the outlet aperture.

VALVE FOR CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW AND USE THEREOF, AND VALVE INSERT FOR A VALVE HOUSING FOR CONTROLLING FLUID FLOW

The invention relates to a valve for controlling a fluid flow, comprising at least one valve housing having at least one inlet and one outlet side, and a valve insert for regulating the fluid flow between the inlet side and the outlet side, which valve is arranged within the valve housing. The valve insert comprises at least one first element, designed as a hollow body, and a second element, wherein the second element is arranged within the first hollow-body-shaped element. Furthermore, the valve insert is arranged within the valve housing in such a way that the first element is axially fixed in the valve housing, and the second element is arranged so as to be rotationally fixed in the valve housing. The first element has at least one opening along the circumference of the first element for passing the fluid flow through and is designed to be rotatable relative to the second element; the second element is designed to be axially movable relative to the first element.

Pressure relief valve for railroad tank cars
09851016 · 2017-12-26 · ·

According to some embodiments, a pressure relief valve system comprises a valve body coupled to a pressure chamber. The valve body defines a vapor flow path between the pressure chamber and the atmosphere. A valve orifice in the valve body is configured to allow vapor to flow between the pressure chamber and the valve body. A vapor conduit comprises a vapor conduit first end coupled to the valve orifice and a second end opening into the pressure chamber. The vapor conduit forms a passageway between the vapor conduit first and second end. The vapor conduit also comprises a vapor conduit orifice near its first end. The vapor conduit orifice is configured to allow the vapor to flow from the pressure chamber into the vapor conduit. A gravity-operated valve positioned near the vapor conduit first end is configured to control the flow of vapor through the vapor conduit orifice.

Connecting apparatus for creating a connection between a measuring instrument/valve block and a pipeline

A connecting apparatus for creating a connection to a measuring instrument or to a valve block/valve with a measuring instrument, and a connection to a pipeline or to a metering orifice device installed in a pipeline comprises: a first connecting device that provides a sealing connection to the pipeline or to the metering orifice device with a first recess extending through in the longitudinal direction, and a second connecting device that provides a sealing connection to the measuring instrument or to the valve block/valve with a second recess extending through in the longitudinal direction. The first and second connecting devices are interconnected with sealing effect. The connecting unit is designed so that the sealing connection can be created solely by rotation of the connecting unit without rotating the first and second connecting devices.

Replaceable body saver

A high pressure valve includes a valve body having a surface defining a corresponding portion of a conduit and a pocket. A removable insert is removably inserted into the pocket of the valve body and has surface defining a corresponding portion of the conduit. A seal insert is spaced from the valve body by the removable insert and has an interface with the removable insert. A moving member interfaces with the seal insert for selectively closing the conduit, the interface between the seal insert and the removable insert allows play between the seal insert and the removable insert in response to movement of the moving member.

Valve assembly for spraying devices for agricultural technology and field sprayer
09797517 · 2017-10-24 · ·

A valve assembly for spraying devices for agricultural technology having a plurality of valves, wherein the valves each include a valve body, which is capable of assuming at least one enable position and one disable position relative to a valve seat, an electric motor for moving the valve seat and/or the valve body into the enable position and the disable position, and an electric energy storage device for providing electric energy for the electric motor, wherein a voltage converter is provided and configured, in a first operation mode, to convert a first voltage provided by the energy storage device into a second, higher voltage to be applied to the electric motor during moving the valve body and/or the valve seat and, in a second operation mode, to charge the energy storage device with low power input.

DRAINAGE CONNECTOR

The invention relates to a drainage connector (1) having a cup-shaped housing (2) which comprises a housing base (3) and a housing wall (4). A connection geometry (5) is arranged on the outside on the housing wall (4) for inserting into a container opening, wherein an inlet pipe (9) of an inlet side (7) is guided to an outlet side (8) through the housing base (3) and an annular collecting chamber (10) is formed between the inlet pipe (9) and the housing wall (4).
