A valve for use in oil and gas production or similar applications includes a plug or other flow barrier disposed in a cavity of a hollow valve body with a metal-to-metal sealing surface that is not reliant on any rubberized or elastomeric material to effect a seal.

Apparatus and method contemplating a high pressure fluid end assembly having a body defining a body bore and defining a groove in the body intersecting the body bore. A closure is joined to the body and forms a sealing surface. A seal is mounted to the body in the groove and configured to extend from the groove beyond the body bore to seal against the sealing surface formed by the closure.

A method of sealing a coolant control valve of a cooling system for a power device which generates heat as a by-product of operation. The cooling system includes a pump, a heat exchanger, and coolant. The valve includes: an internal channel in fluid communication with the exchanger; a sealing package in contact a surface of the coolant control valve and bounding a portion of the cooling system and the channel; and a rotary element in the channel and rotatable to open and close the valve. The portion is bounded in part by the valve and the sealing package. The method includes: starting-up the device; creating a pressure differential of at least 0.2 bar between the coolant in the portion of the cooling system, and the coolant in the internal channel; rotating, using a motor, the rotary element; opening the valve; and pumping, using the pump, the coolant through the internal channel.

A valve assembly is adjustable in three independent ways allowing it to provide a variable input volume. The valve assembly has a base and an entrance plate. An outer guide, an inner guide and a shaft, each with a passage, are held together and the shaft is rotatable between the guides. The valve is open when the passages of the inner guide plate and shaft are aligned and closed when the passages are not aligned. The shaft RPM determines how many times per minute the valve opens. The open/closed ratio of the valve assembly determines how long the valve is open during each half revolution. The location of the shaft up or down in relationship to the inner guide determines what percentage of possible flow passes through the valve during each half revolution. The valve assembly can be used with either a gas or liquid medium.

Apparatus and method contemplating a high pressure fluid end assembly having a body defining a body bore and defining a recess in the body intersecting the body bore. A closure is joined to the body and forms a sealing surface. A seal is mounted to the body in the recess and configured to extend from the recess beyond the body bore to seal against the sealing surface formed by the closure.

A fluid end assembly comprising a housing having multiple conduits formed therein. A tubular sleeve is installed within one of the conduits and is configured to house a plurality of packing seals. A seal is installed within a groove formed in the walls of the housing surrounding the tubular sleeve such that the seal engages an outer surface of the tubular sleeve.

A throttle valve is provided, including a throttle valve body, a valve plug, a hollow seal, a cover, a spring, and a bushing. A flow path is formed in the throttle valve body. The valve plug is disposed in the throttle valve body. The degree of opening of the flow path is modified by rotating the valve plug. The hollow seal is disposed in the throttle valve body. The hollow seal abuts the valve plug. The cover is connected to the throttle valve body. An outlet is formed on the cover, the cover comprises a cover flange, and the cover flange surrounds the outlet. The spring abuts the cover flange to apply an elastic force to the hollow seal for tightly contacting the hollow seal with the valve plug. The spring is telescoped on the bushing, and a first end of the bushing pushes the hollow seal.

A throttle valve is provided. The throttle valve includes a throttle valve body, a valve plug, a hollow seal and a first scraper. A flow path is formed in the throttle valve body. The valve plug is disposed in the throttle valve body. A notch is formed on the valve plug. By rotating the valve plug, the position of the notch is changed, and the degree of opening of the flow path is modified. The hollow seal is disposed in the throttle valve body. An abutting portion is formed on the hollow seal, and the abutting portion sealably abuts the valve plug. The first scraper is disposed on the valve plug. When the valve plug is rotated, the first scraper abuts the abutting portion to clean the abutting portion.

A high pressure valve includes a valve body having a surface defining a corresponding portion of a conduit and a pocket. A removable insert is removably inserted into the pocket of the valve body and has surface defining a corresponding portion of the conduit. A seal insert is spaced from the valve body by the removable insert and has an interface with the removable insert. A moving member interfaces with the seal insert for selectively closing the conduit, the interface between the seal insert and the removable insert allows play between the seal insert and the removable insert in response to movement of the moving member.

An angle valve structure includes an angle valve body. The angle valve body is provided with a water inlet channel, a water outlet channel and an accommodation cavity. The accommodation cavity is rotationally provided with a valve core. One end of the valve core exposed outside the accommodation cavity is fixedly connected with a knob. The valve core is provided with a sealing block for sealing the water outlet channel when sealing. The valve core includes a main body part and an elastic arm whose one end is connected with the main body part. One side of the main body part is provided with a mounting slot for placing the sealing block, one side of the elastic arm is provided with an extrusion portion, and the other side of the elastic arm is provided with a contact portion against the sealing block after assembly.
