A cooled isolation valve includes a valve body, a stationary element coupled to the valve body, and a movable closure element movable with respect to the stationary element between a closed position in which the movable closure element and the stationary element are brought together and an open position. One of the movable closure element and the stationary element includes a sealing element. In the closed position of the movable closure element, the sealing element provides a seal between the movable closure element and the stationary element. A fluid channel is formed in contact with the movable closure element and movable with the movable closure element with respect to the stationary element, such that a fluid in the fluid channel effects heat transfer in the movable closure element. A bellows of the isolation valve can include a metallic substrate with a ceramic coating.

A poppet valve, in particular, a hollow poppet valve, can include a valve stem; a valve cap; a valve body comprising a longitudinal axis with a stem end to which the valve stem is arranged and a cap end to which the valve cap is arranged, the valve body further comprising a cavity with a stem opening towards the stem end and a cap opening towards the cap end; wherein the stem opening of the cavity is configured to be closed by the valve stem and the cap opening of the cavity is configured to be closed by the valve cap; wherein the valve cap comprises a cap wall protruding into the cavity along an interior circumference of the valve cap; and wherein the cap wall comprises a cap wall formation.

A hollow valve having optimized interior stem geometry, whose valve stem has surface-enlarging structuring on an inner surface is provided. Also provided is a method for manufacturing a valve body of such a hollow valve, wherein the method comprises: providing a bowl-shaped semi-finished product having an annular wall that surrounds a cavity, and having a base section, followed by lengthening the wall with an inserted, structured mandrel, and lastly, reducing an outer diameter of the annular wall without a mandrel to obtain a predetermined valve stem outer diameter of a valve to be manufactured.

A poppet valve (2) with a valve body (4) has a cavity (6), a coolant inlet port (8). A coolant outlet port (10). The coolant inlet port (8) and the coolant outlet port (10) are arranged on a valve stem (12) of the poppet valve (2). The cavity (6) extends into the valve stem (12) of the poppet valve (2) and into a valve head (14) of the poppet valve (2), wherein there is provided a coolant conducting element (16) within the cavity (6) and extending into the cavity (6) from the valve head (14) to the valve stem (12), where the coolant conducting element (16) in each case has a cross-section. The coolant conducting element (16) includes a pipe section (18) and a funnel section (20), and the coolant conducting element (16) extends concentrically to the poppet valve (2) in the cavity (6) of the poppet valve (2).

The invention relates to a valve comprising a valve housing (2) which, for transport of a heatable fluid such as hydraulic oil, has at least one utility connection (A, B), at least one pressure supply connection (P), and at least one return connection (T1, T2), and a control slide (6) which is guided in the valve housing (2) in a longitudinally displaceable manner. The valve is characterised in that, in at least one position of the control slide (6), in which position the pressure supply connection (P) is at least partially separated from the utility connection (A, B), the heatable fluid arrives, proceeding from this pressure supply connection (P) and via a heat-emitting connection in the control slide (6), at the at least one return connection (T1, T2) as a loss volume flow which, serving as a heat source, heats at least regions of the control slide (6).

A valve housing is configured to maintain temperature of a valve. These configurations may incorporate paths or channels in structure of the valve that carry working fluid. Heating fluid, like steam or hot water, may flow through these paths to heat this structure. This feature can maintain or raise temperature of the working fluid to meet specifications, standards, or process parameters. In one implementation, the paths may have complex routes or geometry with curves, bends, or other feature that can maximize surface area that is available to distribute heat to the device. This geometry may require manufacturing techniques, like additive manufacturing, that can generate unitary or monolithic structures, particularly those structures that includes voids in the material to form the integral paths for the heating fluid.

A fluororesin diaphragm valve includes a valve portion, a sealing mechanism and an adjusting mechanism for the opening degree of the valve. The valve portion includes a valve body, a valve shaft, and a valve upper cover. The valve body includes a square portion, an annular portion, and a valve chamber. The sealing mechanism includes a diaphragm, an upper valve body, a tightening ring and an annular portion of the valve body. The adjusting mechanism is installed on the top of the valve upper cover. The sealing mechanism is installed in the annular portion and at the minimum diameter area of the annular portion, having annular lattice-shaped ribbed plates with horizontal openings to increase the structural strength of the diaphragm seal and improve the heat dissipation effect.

A method for the production for a semi-finished valve product (4), includes casting, forging, deep-drawing, pressing and/or drop-welding of one or several metal material into a semi-finished valve product (4) that corresponds to a circle segment of a valve cut open in the axial direction. A valve is produced by welding together at least two semi-finished valve products (4) into an internally cooled valve, with the weld running in the axial direction of the valve.

Purge apparatus for use with fluid valves are disclosed. An apparatus includes a stem for a fluid valve. The stem has a first channel extending therethrough to receive a fluid. The apparatus also includes an aperture in fluid communication with the first channel and disposed on an outer surface of the stem or a fluid flow control member coupled to the stem. The aperture is to exhaust the fluid from the first channel toward one or more components of the fluid valve to remove residue.
