PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE AND DEVICE COMPRISING SUCH A PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE , FOR CONTROLLING OR REGULATING THE PRESSURE OF A COMPRESSED FLUID IN A PILOT PRESSURE CHAMBER
A pressure control valve for controlling or regulating a pressure of a compressed fluid in a pilot pressure chamber includes a valve housing with at least one inlet which is fluidically connectable to the pilot pressure chamber, at least one outlet, a tappet mounted in the valve housing to be moved along a longitudinal axis by means of an actuation device that can be energized, and a first seal element which is mounted in the valve housing to move along the longitudinal axis and which is preloaded into a closed position by means of a first spring. The first seal element rests against a first valve seat in the closed position. The first seal element has a passage through which the compressed fluid can flow. A second seal element is secured to the tappet and can be moved by the energization of the actuation device.
Safety valve for hot water heater
A pressure actuated water shutoff valve is presented. The shutoff valve comprises an upper housing and a lower housing where the upper housing is coupled to the lower housing. The lower housing has a water inlet and a water outlet with a flow passage therebetween. The lower housing includes a plunger seat configured to receive a shutoff plunger. The upper housing includes an chamber having a piston bore in which reciprocates an piston, coupled to the shutoff plunger. In response to a first pressure condition, the piston lifts the shutoff plunger off its seat allowing water to flow through the lower housing. In response to a second pressure condition, a biasing spring seals the plunger against its seat, shutting off water flow through the valve.
Discharge valve
A discharge valve is provided in a recirculation line through which gas discharged from a fuel cell stack recirculates to the stack. The discharge valve opens or closes a discharge line through which a fluid in the recirculation line is discharged. The discharge valve includes a valve body connected to the discharge line and a drive part disposed in the valve body to be movable vertically. A diaphragm is coupled to a lower end of the drive part and selectively opens or closes the discharge line based on the vertical movement. The drive part switches between a closed state in which the discharge line is closed by the diaphragm, a first opened state in which the discharge line is opened to a first opening degree, and a second opened state in which the discharge line is opened to a second opening degree greater than the first opening degree.
Safety valve for hydraulic or pneumatic tool
Provided is a safety valve (10) comprising a body (12) which defines an incoming fluid passage (14) and a return fluid passage (20). The incoming fluid passage (14) generally enables a fluid to pass from a fluid reservoir (18) through the body (12) to the tool head (16). The return fluid passage (20) generally enables a fluid to return from the tool head (16) through the body back to the fluid reservoir (18). The body (12) further comprises a diverter (22) which is displaceable between an active position and an inactive position. When the diverter (22) is in the active position, the diverter (22) redirects the fluid via a shunting passage (24) from the incoming fluid passage (14) to the return passage (20) to prevent operation of the tool head (16).

Pressure relief valve apparatus, system and method
A pressure relief valve includes a hollow body having an inlet and an outlet, with the hollow body including at least one aperture extending through a surface of the hollow body. An actuator assembly is attached to the hollow body and a sleeve is slideably positioned about the hollow body, with the sleeve moveably attached to the actuator assembly. During operation, the actuator assembly moves the sleeve from a first position that covers the aperture to a second position that un-covers at least a portion of the aperture.
Pressure control valve and device comprising such a pressure control valve , for controlling or regulating the pressure of a compressed fluid in a pilot pressure chamber
A pressure control valve for controlling or regulating a pressure of a compressed fluid in a pilot pressure chamber includes a valve housing with at least one inlet which is fluidically connectable to the pilot pressure chamber, at least one outlet, a tappet mounted in the valve housing to be moved along a longitudinal axis by means of an actuation device that can be energized, and a first seal element which is mounted in the valve housing to move along the longitudinal axis and which is preloaded into a closed position by means of a first spring. The first seal element rests against a first valve seat in the closed position. The first seal element has a passage through which the compressed fluid can flow. A second seal element is secured to the tappet and can be moved by the energization of the actuation device.

HYDROCARBON FLOWLINE CORROSION INHIBITOR OVERPRESSURE PROTECTION
The disclosure describes hydrocarbon flowline corrosion inhibitor overpressure protection. Such a protection system includes a fluid flow pathway fluidically coupled to a corrosion inhibitor injection pump that injections corrosion inhibitor into a hydrocarbon carrying flowline. When the injection pump pressure exceeds a threshold flow pressure, the corrosion inhibitor is flowed through a first branch of the fluid flow pathway to relieve the excess pressure. The first branch is fluidically isolated from a second branch. When a rupture disc in the first branch fails, then the corrosion inhibitor is diverted to flow through the second branch and the first branch is isolated from the corrosion inhibitor flow.
FREELY CLOCKING CHECK VALVE
A check valve assembly for use with a liquid jet cutting system can include a check valve body a high-pressure fluid inlet on one end and a high-pressure fluid outlet on the other end along a central axis of the check valve body. The check valve body can have a first metallic seal surface on an outer surface of the check valve shaped to engage an endcap of the liquid jet cutting system to form a first seal. The assembly can include an annular low-pressure fluid chamber surrounding a portion of the check valve body and defined at least in part by an annular gasket, the check valve body, the first seal, and the endcap. The check valve body can include a low-pressure fluid channel, and a check valve positioned between the low-pressure fluid channel and a high-pressure fluid chamber.
