The valve housing also includes a first anti-tip flange extending radially outward to a greater extent than the first annular groove and a second anti-tip flange extending radially outward to a greater extent than the second annular groove.

A valve having a body having a first section and a second section; an extended flange attached to the second section of the body or disposed as an integral part of the second section of the body; an elongate bore extending through the body and having a proximal end and a distal end; a longitudinally displaceable plunger disposed in and extending along the bore, the plunger having a proximal end and a distal end and having a first position displaced toward the distal end of the bore and a second position displaced toward the proximal end of the bore; a diaphragm seal attached to the proximal end of the plunger and sealing the bore at the proximal end thereof; a gland seal sealing the bore at a location intermediate the diaphragm seal and the distal end of the bore; the plunger extending through and being sealingly secured to the gland seal; a fluid transfer opening in the bore between the diaphragm seal and the gland seal; longitudinal displacement of the plunger moving the diaphragm seal to open the bore, the gland seal stretching to accommodate the displacement of and maintain a seal about the plunger, a fluid flow path being established between the open proximal end of the bore and the fluid transfer opening, wherein longitudinal displacement of the plunger towards its first position moves the diaphragm to open the bore. The valve further comprises an extended flange having a surface that is approximately coplanar with a surface of the second position when the plunger is displaced toward the proximal end of the bore, creating a zero dead leg position

Bonnet and valve trim assembly and related methods are described. An example bonnet and valve trim assembly includes a bonnet structured to couple to a valve body via a valve body mounting flange, the bonnet including a cage mounting interface. A cage defining a body has a bonnet mounting interface to couple to the cage mounting interface of the bonnet. A retainer retains the cage mounting interface and the bonnet mounting interface to couple the cage and the bonnet. The retainer to enable axial movement between the cage and the bonnet when the retainer is coupled to the cage and the bonnet.

A valve body defines a work passage, a high-pressure channel fluidly connected to the work passage, a tank passage, and a cavity disposed between the high-pressure channel and the tank passage. The cavity fluidly connects the high-pressure channel and the tank passage. The cavity is defined at least in part by a first portion within which a relief valve threadedly engages, a second portion disposed adjacent to the high-pressure channel, and an annulus interposed between the first portion and the second portion. The annulus fluidly connects to the tank passage. A surface area of the relief valve exposed to the annulus is greater than a cross-sectional area of the high-pressure channel.

A multi-way valve for controlling a refrigerant circuit of a refrigeration system with a heat pump function, having a housing which has two mutually opposite end faces which each comprise an insertion opening to which a regulating chamber is connected, having multi-way valve arrangements which can each be inserted in the regulating chamber, the multi-way valve arrangement comprising at least one base body and a rotary slide valve arrangement, with in each case one connection in the housing, which open into the respective regulating chamber, and with at least further connections in the housing, which open into at least one channel which extends between the regulating chambers.

A proportional spool valve (1) for adjusting a displaced volume of a displacement pump, in particular of an oil pump in a motor vehicle, the proportional spool valve (1) includes a valve housing (2) and a valve spool (3) which is mounted in the valve housing (2) and displaceable along a displacement axis (V) and which can be displaced against the spring force of a valve spring (6) axially supported on a spring holder (7) which is fixed relative to the valve housing (2) by energizing an electrical coil assembly (10), characterized in that wherein both the preferably single-piece spring holder (7) and the valve housing (2) are made of plastic and that the spring holder (7) is welded to the valve housing (2), an integral welded connection (9) being formed.

A valve with a valve upper plate defining an inlet, a valve body defining an outlet, and a fluid passage. A closure member is disposed in the fluid passage between the inlet and the outlet and has a convex sealing surface and is rotatable between a closed position in which the closure member extends across the fluid passage with the convex sealing surface oriented towards the inlet and an open position in which fluid is able to flow through the fluid passage from the inlet to the outlet. A resilient sealing ring, when the closure member is in the closed position, is moveable between a first configuration in which the sealing ring forms a seal around a circumference of the convex sealing surface and a second configuration in which the valve comprises a circumferential gap between the convex sealing surface and the sealing ring.

A flow control device includes a valve body having an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path connecting the inlet and the outlet. A cage is disposed in the flow path, and a bonnet is coupled to the cage and includes a portion overlapping with a portion of the cage. A retaining ring is disposed between the cage and the bonnet. The retaining ring includes an interior side, an exterior side, and a cavity formed between the interior and exterior sides.

The present invention relates to a hydraulic built-in valve (100) for a valve block (10), comprising a sleeve (110) that is introducible into the valve block, and a closing element (130). The sleeve comprises a first end region (111) which is connectable to a control cover. The sleeve comprises a second end region (112) which is at the opposite end from the first end region and is introducible into the control cover, wherein the second end region has, in a frontal end, a frontal opening (114), and the sleeve forms, between the first end region and the second end region, a shell (117), having an outer side and an inner side, and the shell of the sleeve has a multiplicity of shell apertures (119) separated by shell webs (118). The closing element is arranged movably in the sleeve, wherein the closing element is movable between a first position and a second position, and wherein, in the first position, a fluidic connection between the frontal opening and the shell apertures is opened up, and, in the second position, a fluidic connection between the frontal opening and the shell apertures is closed off, wherein the shell apertures extend along the shell in the direction from the first end region to the second end region and form an aperture height, and the shell apertures have a height/width ratio of at least 3:1.

A rotary valve including a port housing, a port, an axially actuated rotary sleeve disposed within the port housing, the sleeve having a plurality of apertures in fluid communication with the port; and an insert disposed within the sleeve, the insert having an opening, the sleeve being rotatable to align one of the plurality of apertures with the opening. A rotary valve including a port housing, having a port, an axially actuated rotary sleeve disposed within the port housing, the sleeve having an aperture; and an insert disposed within the sleeve, the insert having a plurality of openings of distinct size from one another, the aperture of the sleeve being selectively alignable with one of the plurality of openings.
