An ejector and a refrigeration system. The ejector includes: a high-pressure fluid passage, a flow valve for controlling a flow rate in the high-pressure fluid passage; a suction fluid passage; a mixing chamber, which includes a mixed fluid outlet; a thermal bulb disposed upstream of the flow valve, in the high-pressure fluid passage or outside the high-pressure fluid passage; and an elastic diaphragm disposed in the high-pressure fluid passage, wherein a closed cavity is on a first side of the diaphragm, and the high-pressure fluid passage is on a second side of the diaphragm; the thermal bulb in communication with the closed cavity, and the thermal bulb and the closed cavity are filled with fluid; and the diaphragm is associated with the flow valve so that an opening degree of the flow valve varies in response to a change in a pressure difference across two sides of the diaphragm.

A reset relief valve with dampening reservoir having a piston disposed in fluid flow-blocking relationship between an inlet port and the outlet port of the body and a second position at which the piston is removed from the fluid flow-blocking position, the piston partially defines an enclosed first chamber and at least one flow passageway extending between the chamber and a reservoir chamber mounted on the body for controlled flow of hydraulic fluid to dampen the movement of the piston upon activation, The reservoir has a pressure monitor to measure fluid pressure in the system, a sight glass and index to view and measure the hydraulic fluid and a tubular flow passageway.

A fluid control device is adapted to include: a valve provided in a flow path through which a fluid flows; a pressure sensor provided upstream of the valve; a flow rate sensor provided on downstream of the pressure sensor; a set flow rate generator that outputs a set flow rate corresponding to the measured pressure on the basis of a pressure-flow rate map; a valve control part that controls the opening level of the valve so that the deviation between the set flow rate and a measured flow rate decreases; and the set flow rate generator that outputs the set flow rate corresponding to the measured pressure to the valve control part. In addition, the set flow rate generator is adapted to control the set flow rate so that the measured pressure has a value up to a limit pressure.

A slam-shut safety assembly configured to provide redundant safety shutoff in a gas distribution system. The slam-shut safety assembly includes a valve body, a first slam-shut safety device coupled to the valve body, and a second slam-shut safety device coupled to the valve body. The valve body has an inlet, an outlet, and defines a flow path extending between the inlet and the outlet. The first slam-shut safety device is configured to block the flow path at a first position responsive to an overpressure condition or an underpressure condition. The second slam-shut safety device is configured to block the flow path at a second position responsive to the overpressure condition or the underpressure condition.

The invention relates to a safety valve comprising a pilot valve element, a pilot valve actuator, a main valve element cooperating with a main valve seat, a permanent magnet being provided which is associated with the main valve element and which is adapted to hold the latter in an open position, and a main valve actuator being provided which cooperates with the main valve element.

A pressure compensation device for compensating an internal pressure in a housing of an electrochemical device includes: at least one gas-permeable membrane for gas exchange between an interior of the housing and surroundings of the electrochemical device; and a valve body that can be transferred from a home position resting on a valve seat into a use position remote from the valve seat, the valve body including a gas throughflow opening that is sealed by the gas-permeable membrane.

A downhole tool includes a body defining a bore axially therethrough and a port in communication with the bore and extending radially through the body, an inner cap positioned in the port, the inner cap sealing the port, and an outer cap positioned in the port. The outer cap is spaced apart from the inner cap, and the outer cap seals the port, such that a chamber is defined between the inner and outer caps in the port. The inner cap is configured to move toward outer cap in response to a first pressure differential between bore and the chamber across the outer cap. The inner cap is configured to dislodge the outer cap from the port in response to the inner cap engaging the outer cap and a second pressure differential between the bore and an exterior of the downhole tool being reached across the inner cap.

A damped check valve having multi-pressure operation is provided. The check valve includes a liner with a poppet movable within the liner. The liner defines a flow passage aligned along a longitudinal axis defined by the liner. A biasing element is operably coupled between the poppet and the liner to bias a first flow face of the poppet against an annular seat. The first flow face is configured such that a first fluid pressure is required to move the poppet from the closed position to an open position wherein the poppet is unseated from the annular seat and a second fluid pressure is required to hold the poppet in the open position, the second pressure being less than the first pressure. There is a sufficient diametrical clearance between the poppet and the liner which allows for flow control at pressures which are less than the initial opening pressure.
