Flow washer assembly
10401877 · 2019-09-03 · ·

A flow washer assembly includes a housing with a channel for fluid flow, a seat positioned in the channel and including an upstream surface, and a washer press fit in the channel and engaging the upstream surface of the seat. The washer may be provided with a central opening that is sized according to predefined flow characteristics. An outside diameter of the washer at least adjacent an upstream end may be greater than an inside diameter of the channel such that the washer assumes a flexed orientation when press fit into the channel. Since the washer is pre-deflected, it will deflect further as inlet fluid pressure increases, effectively keeping the fluid flow rate relatively constant. The pre-flexing of the washer eliminates a spike in flow rate that occurs with conventional flow washer assemblies.

Provided is a fluid control valve assembly which reduces pressure loss a fluid passage line including a fluid control valve, thereby mini-minimizing the pressure for a fluid to pass therethrough to ensuring a required amount of flow without upsizing the overall assembly. The fluid control valve assembly includes an upstream pipe forming an upstream fluid passageway tilted at a predetermined angle relative to a valve axis to face an upstream chamber. The upstream chamber is formed upstream of a valve portion which has a valve seat and a valve body in a valve housing and which can open and close the fluid passageway. The wall surface of the upstream chamber is integrated with a swelling, which is projected in the chamber to thereby rectify and guide the fluid flowing therein through the upstream pipe so that the fluid smoothly flows to the valve portion.

Hydraulic component with a valve unit and hydraulic system with a hydraulic component

The present disclosure relates to a hydraulic component with a valve unit for a hydraulic system, and a hydraulic system having such a hydraulic component. The valve unit of the hydraulic component has a valve block and a valve piston. The valve piston is moveably along a first bore supported in the valve block. Further, the valve unit is admittable with pressurized hydraulic fluid and is configured such that the valve piston can be moved between a closed position and an open position. The hydraulic component according to the disclosure is particularly characterized in that the first bore is configured as a through-hole through the entire valve block and the hydraulic component has a collecting unit. The collecting unit at least partially surrounds the two end openings of the first bore and is configured collect and drain hydraulic fluid leaking out of the two end openings of the bore.

Multi-Piece Fluid End

A fluid end is formed from a first body attached to a separate second body. Each body includes an external surface. When the bodies are attached, their respective external surfaces are in flush engagement. A plurality of bores are formed in the second body that are alignable with a plurality of corresponding bores formed in the first body. The fluid end may be used with seals disposed within recesses within each bore to seal against corresponding sealing surfaces. Further, retaining closures may be bolted to the fluid end bodies, such that the closures have a threadless connection to the fluid end bodies. Various combinations of such components may be utilized.
