A liquid sampler for use in sampling the liquid in a well. The sampler has a tube for containing the sample and an inlet at the bottom and an outlet at the top. An inlet check valve is located at the inlet which has a door configured autonomously to move between open and closed configurations in response to fluid flow through the inlet. In the open configuration, the door is aligned with the axis of the tube to allow fluid to flow into the tube through the inlet from below, and in the closed configuration, the door is positioned transverse to the axis of the tube to block fluid flow from the tube out through the inlet thereby retaining fluid within the tube as the sampler is raised up.

A cable accessory for injecting fluid into a cable. The accessory has first and second ends configured to be coupled to the cable and an external cable accessory, respectively. The accessory has an injection port configured to introduce the fluid to a stranded conductor of the cable. The accessory may include a body and conductive rod. The body defines a through-channel configured to receive the conductor. The rod has a first portion that extends outwardly from the second end to be received inside the external cable accessory and to form an electrical connection therewith. The rod has a second portion configured to be coupled to the conductor and form an electrical connection therewith. The second portion (with the conductor coupled thereto) is positionable inside the through-channel with the first portion extending outward from the second end. The fluid is injectable into the conductor through injection port, which extends into the through-channel.

A check valve includes a housing, a first valve, and a second valve. The housing has a first portion that defines a first chamber and a second portion that defines a second chamber. The first valve is disposed within and is movable relative to the housing. The second valve is at least partially extends into the first valve. Responsive to a fluid flow in a first direction, the second valve and the first valve moves towards a proximal end of the housing and the fluid flow flows around the first valve towards a component.

A valve seat assembly comprises a valve. The assembly further comprises a removable upper seat associated with the valve. The assembly further comprises a lower seat configured to be inserted into a fluid end of a pump and releasably couplable to the upper seat. The upper seat is decouplable from the lower seat while the lower seat remains inserted in the fluid end of the pump. The valve is configured to contact the upper seat to prevent a flow of fluid through the fluid end of the pump.

The systems and methods of the present disclosure provides an independent passive variable resistor that can be interposed between a fluid reservoir at an inlet pressure and receptacle at an outlet pressure. The resistor can adjust resistance to the pressure difference from the input to the output so that the flow rate through it is a constant rate. The resistor can include a moveable element and a biasing mechanism located in a chamber to create a flow channel. Each side of the moveable element is exposed to the inlet and outlet pressures and moves within the flow channel to modify the resistance of the flow through the chamber in response to the pressures. The balance of these forces determines the position moveable element, which interacts with the fluid channel to determine the flow resistance through variable resistor. The biasing mechanism can provide the necessary pressure to establish equilibrium flow rate.

A fuel pump includes an intake valve unit which is provided between a low-pressure chamber and a pressurizing chamber. The intake valve unit includes an intake valve configured to move in an axial direction of the intake valve unit and a valve stopper arranged between the intake valve and the pressurizing chamber. A plurality of fuel passages configured to allow fuel to communicate between the low-pressure chamber and the pressurizing chamber are formed on a radially outward of an outer peripheral surface of the valve stopper.

A modulating intake valve having a low internal pressure drop used in conjunction with a gas compressor, including a valve body having a gas inlet and a gas outlet. A self modulating, hemispherical shaped poppet within the valve body moves closer or further from a valve seat to control the gas flow into the inlet and out of the outlet into the gas compressor. The hemispherical poppet valve functions as a check valve to close against the valve seat and prevent flow of gas and oil from the compressor through the valve body and out of the gas inlet. A modulating piston disposed in a cage located between the gas inlet and the gas outlet. A control gas inlet port opens into a passageway to direct control gas to a space between the piston and the cage set to move the piston and hemispherical poppet valve at a given pressure.

A valve seat assembly comprises a valve. The assembly further comprises a removable upper seat associated with the valve. The assembly further comprises a lower seat configured to be inserted into a fluid end of a pump and releasably couplable to the upper seat. The upper seat is decouplable from the lower seat while the lower seat remains inserted in the fluid end of the pump. The valve is configured to contact the upper seat to prevent a flow of fluid through the fluid end of the pump.

A high-pressure fuel supply pump includes a pressurizing chamber, a piston plunger, and an electromagnetically-driven intake valve mechanism. The piston plunger reciprocates within the pressurizing chamber. The electromagnetically-driven intake valve mechanism is provided at an inlet of the pressurizing chamber. The electromagnetically-driven intake valve mechanism includes an anchor which pulls a plunger rod, a fixed core which attracts the anchor, and a yoke in which inner peripheral part has the fixed core and the anchor. The fixed core is fixed to a bottom part of the yoke. A through hole is formed at a bottom part of the fixed core.
