A valve unit for regulating the flow of working fluid between a working chamber of a fluid working machine and both a first working fluid line and second working fluid line, the valve unit comprising: a first valve comprising a first valve member and one or more cooperating first valve seats, a second valve comprising a second valve member and one or more cooperating second valve seats, an actuator coupled to both the first and second valve members through which a force may be applied to urge the first valve member open or closed and to urge the second valve member open or closed, a coupling between the actuator and the first valve member, wherein the coupling between the actuator and the first valve member comprises a connector which extends at least partially through the second valve member.

The invention concerns a discharge valve (17) intended to be fitted in a discharge duct of an apparatus designed to be driven by a fluid, in particular a turbocharger driven by the exhaust gases from an engine. The discharge valve (17) comprises a cavity (83) having a first (85), a second (87) and a third aperture (89), each intended to be connected to a respective duct, the discharge valve (17) also comprising first (91) and second (93) means for closing the first (85) and second (87) apertures, respectively, in order to control communication between the ducts.

A valve for a vehicle provided between a transmission and an oil cooler for cooling transmission oil may include a valve housing in which a first inflow port connected to the transmission and an exhaust port connected to the oil cooler are formed on both sides facing each other and a bypass port connected to the transmission and a second inflow port connected to the oil cooler are formed at a position spaced apart from the first inflow port and the exhaust port along a length direction of the valve housing, and a control unit that is mounted inside the valve housing selectively connects the first inflow port to the exhaust port or the bypass port while expansion or contraction is performed depending on a temperature of the transmission oil, and selectively closes the exhaust port to control a flow stream of the transmission oil.

In accordance with an embodiment, a fluid delivery system is provided that includes a faucet body having opposing ends spaced apart by a channel and a universal adapter mated to one end of the faucet body and a spout mated to the other end of the faucet body. A diverter is connected to the spout. In accordance with another embodiment, a method for manufacturing a faucet includes providing a faucet having a diverter, wherein the diverter includes a cavity configured for reducing water pressure within the cavity and bonding a protective material to the faucet so that the faucet and the protective material form a unitary structure.

A solenoid valve (10) has a valve housing (11); one end portion of the valve housing (11) is provided with a flow passage portion (16) having ports and a valve element housing hole to store a poppet valve (41), and the other end portion of the valve housing (11) is opened. Parts, such as a fixed iron core (50) having a supporting leg (52) and a driving leg (51), and a movable iron core (60) which drives the poppet valve (41) is inserted from an opening end (17) on the other end portion of the valve housing (11). All parts to be inserted into the valve housing (11) are inserted from one direction.

A solenoid valve has a valve member (43) which is operated between: a closed position in which the valve member abuts on a valve seat to block communication between ports (32 and 33); and an open position in which the valve member separates from the valve seat to enable communication between the ports (32 and 33). A fixed iron core (18) and a movable iron core (21), in which the movable iron core reciprocatively moves in axial directions, are disposed in a bobbin (13) of a solenoid (11). In a valve housing (12) provided with ports (31 to 33), a swing member (41) having a valve element is swingably attached, and a pivotal lever (51) is pivotally attached. The pivotal lever (51) is provided with: an actuating portion (53) abutting on one end of the swing member (41); and an effort portion (54) abutting on the tip end of the movable iron core (21), an opening/closing stroke of the valve member (43) is made larger than the moving stroke of the movable iron core (21).
