Packing System and Diagnostic Method for a Packing System of a Valve Assembly
20230383846 · 2023-11-30 ·

A packing system is disclosed for use with a valve having a bonnet and a flow passage extending between an inlet and an outlet of a valve body. A bore can extend through the bonnet to receive a stem that moves a control member to control flow through the flow passage. A first packing arrangement can be arranged in the bore about a first portion of the stem. A second packing arrangement can be arranged in the bore about a second portion of the stem with the first packing arrangement between the second packing arrangement and the valve body. A bore port can extend through the bonnet and open into an inter-packing volume of the bore between the first and second packing arrangements and can provide fluid communication between the inter-packing volume and the outlet of the valve or other lower pressure area.

SAFETY RELIEF VALVE FOR HIGH-PRESSURE HYDROGEN CYLINDER

A safety relief valve for a high-pressure hydrogen cylinder is provided therein with a compression spring and an adjusting nut. The adjusting nut can move up and down to adjust the pressure of the compression spring to compress a sealing plug, so as to adjust the pressure in the hydrogen cylinder to reach an upper limit of pressure relief, which is convenient. Meanwhile, the safety relief valve is provided therein with a fusible seal. When the temperature is lower than a melting point, the fusible seal solidifies, and the sealing plug keeps a gas outlet sealed to prevent hydrogen leakage. When the temperature is higher than the melting point, the fusible seal melts. When the pressure in the hydrogen cylinder is higher than the set upper limit, the sealing plug is forced to open, and the hydrogen flows from an exhaust hole to a hydrogen collection tube.

Energy Efficient Water Heater

Systems and methods for controlling the output water temperature of a water heater are disclosed herein. The water heater preferably has a water inlet, heating unit, and water output. The system comprises a proportional flow restrictor placed near the water output and a controller which is configured to direct the heating unit to heat the water and the proportional flow restrictor to produce a flow rate of the output water. Temperature sensors may be used to control the proportional flow restrictor. The proportional flow restrictor can also be controlled based on the amount of heat energy applied to the heating unit.

VALVE ASSEMBLY FAILSAFE
20220251997 · 2022-08-11 ·

A valve assembly failsafe configured to be coupled to an actuator of a coolant control regulator assembly is provided. The valve assembly failsafe includes a wind arm, a spring that engages the wind arm under spring tension, a latch that engages the wind arm, a drive gear that engages the wind arm and the actuator, and a driver that engages the latch. The valve assembly failsafe is configured to be positioned in a set state where the latch engages and retains the wind arm under spring tension and the drive gear freely rotates during rotation of the actuator, and a tripped state where the driver rotates the latch to disengage the latch from the wind arm, causing the wind arm to rotate under the spring tension to engage the drive gear and cause the drive gear to drive the actuator to a default position.
