A dart valve is mounted in a modular cartridge that may be replaced as a unit within a junction box without necessarily having to stop a froth flotation process that is underway. A plurality of these modular cartridges may be placed within a single junction box.

A valve system for use with a cylinder having an extensible rod, includes first and second valve assemblies, each including an inlet/outlet port configured to selectively be coupled with a source of pressurized gas, a check valve biased toward a closed state and having a check valve body at least partially receivable within a first port of the cylinder, a flow control valve positioned in series between the inlet/outlet port and the check valve, and an inlet pilot port connected with the check valve for opening the check valve when supplied with pressurized gas. First and second pilot lines extend to the respective inlet pilot ports from respective outlet pilot ports of the opposite ones of the first and second valve assemblies. When pressurized gas is supplied to the inlet/outlet port of a valve assembly, pressurized gas is also supplied to the opposite inlet pilot port.

An assembly having at least two chambers (1, 2) and at least one transfer valve (3), wherein: a valve housing interior (9) of the transfer valve (3) is separated from each the chamber interiors (4, 5) of the chambers (1, 2) by respective partitions (12, 13) and a transfer opening (14, 15) for the feeding through of objects and/or fluids is formed in each of the partitions (12, 13) and in addition to the transfer opening (14, 15) in question an additional opening (16, 17) is arranged in each of the partitions (12, 13). The additional openings (16, 17) can be closed by respective switching valves (18, 19) of the assembly and, in an open state of the respective switching valves (18, 19), directly fluidically connect the valve housing interior (9) to the respective chamber interiors (4, 5) adjoining the respective partitions (12, 13).

A valve control is configured for use with control valves and other flow controls. The valve control leverages a simplified structure to avoid problems with manufacture and reduce costs. This structure includes a support unit that compresses parts of a valve housing together. Inside of the valve housing, the structure incorporates diaphragms that cause a pair of balanced valves to move in response to changes in pressure of fluid in a conduit. For industrial application, the valve control finds use to maintain pressure of natural gas in pipelines downstream from a control valve.

Various implementations of a firefighting valve assembly are disclosed. The firefighting valve assembly is especially suitable for fighting wildland fires. In some implementation, the firefighting valve assembly has a spatial profile that makes it easy to pack with long bundles of firefighting hose and easy to connect segments of firefighting hose as part of a hose lay. In some implementations, the firefighting valve assembly has a spatial profile that prevents it from inadvertently opening or closing when the hose is moved or pulled along the ground.

An exhaust gas-conducting section of an exhaust turbocharger comprises a duct with a through-flow opening which can be fully or at least partially blocked or released by a closure element of a control device. The closure element is designed as a poppet valve. The closure element can be moved by an actuator can be disposed in a wall of the exhaust gas-conducting section. The closure element has a closure body with an annular section surface on its bottom surface which faces the through-flow opening. The section surface corresponds to an element seat formed in the wall. Its top surface faces away from the bottom surface and is designed in a profiled manner in order to produce a top surface at least partially corresponding to another element seat and/or to achieve flow-optimized circulation.

A fluid housing for a fluid collection system or a fluid distribution system is described, which comprises at least two fluid housing modules adjoining one another along an alignment direction. On each fluid housing module at least one fluid connection is provided, which is connected fluidically to a first central fluid duct via a respectively assigned lateral fluid duct. In addition, on each of the fluid housing modules at least two contact surfaces are provided, which protrude with respect to an assigned fluid housing module basic body along the alignment direction. Adjacent fluid housing modules are positioned in relation to one another via the contact surfaces. Furthermore, a fluid collection system or a fluid distribution system with such a fluid housing is presented.

A mix manifold (16) includes a plurality of valves to control the flow of material therethrough. First and second valves (36a, 36b) are linked for simultaneous actuation. The first and second valves each include valve members (56a, 56b) disposed within and rotatable relative to seal bodies (58a, 58b). The valve members seal against the seal bodies and the seal bodies seal against the manifold. A solvent valve (36c) also includes a valve member (56c) in a seal body (58c). The first and second valves are configured to open only when the solvent valve is closed. The solvent valve is configured to open only when the first and second valves are closed. The solvent valve can rotate between a plurality of positions to control the flow of solvent to flowpaths downstream of the first and second valves.

A gas sediment trap assembly includes a generally cylindrical length with a generally perpendicular tee and a vertically oriented capped portion. The gas sediment trap assembly is coupled to the gas supply line and the gas fired appliance. One or more gas ball valves can be coupled to the gas sediment trap assembly. The gas sediment trap assembly can be used with conventional gas piping, flexible gas piping, and/or other gas line components.
