Disclosed is a ball valve, including a drive mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a valve body assembly and a valve core component. The transmission mechanism is configured to drive the valve core component to act through the drive mechanism. The valve body assembly includes a first valve body component and a second valve body component. The first valve body component is fixedly connected to the second valve body component. The valve body assembly is formed with a containing cavity. The transmission mechanism includes a first gear ring, and at least part of the valve core component is fixedly connected to or in position-limiting fit with the first gear ring. The valve core component includes a platform part and a plane part. The platform part is located at or adjacent to a rotating center of the valve core component.

The present disclosure provides a valve enclosure and side handle faucet system comprising the valve enclosure. The valve enclosure comprises an inlet portion, an outlet portion and a valve cavity. The valve enclosure further comprises a ball valve and is mounted to the side of a spout such that fluid enters the valve cavity perpendicularly from a fluid inlet line and exits the cavity perpendicularly from an outlet such that the distance between the input and output flow to the cavity is minimized. The valve enclosure also comprises an interchangeable housing configured to surround the valve enclosure.

Disclosed is a powder protecting three-way valve for a semiconductor or flat panel display manufacturing apparatus, including: a valve casing including an inlet and a plurality of outlets; a rotating ball rotatably installed in the valve casing to control a flow direction of reaction by-product gas; a nitrogen gas supply member which receives nitrogen gas from an outside, guides a flow of the nitrogen gas using a guide path, and supplies the nitrogen gas into the valve casing to prevent a powder contained in the reaction by-product gas from accumulating in the valve casing; and a heating unit installed in the nitrogen gas supply member to heat the nitrogen gas passing through an interior of the nitrogen gas supply member. The nitrogen gas supply member is formed as a thin flat body pressed against one side surface of the valve casing and is integrally coupled to the valve casing.

Systems and methods for controlling flow with a rotatable valve are provided. A described system includes a valve body having a valve chamber and a plurality of ports into the valve chamber. The plurality of ports include a first port, a second port, and a third port. The first port and the second port are aligned with a common axis and located on opposite sides of the valve chamber. The system further includes a valve member located within the valve chamber. The valve member is controllably rotatable to modulate fluid flow between the first port and the third port while maintaining the second port completely closed and to modulate fluid flow between the second port and the third port while maintaining the first port completely closed.

The disclosure relates to valve assemblies having a valve body including a first port, a second port and a fluid passageway extending therebetween. A valve member, having a through port, is arranged in the fluid passageway and is moveable between an open and closed positions. A sealing arrangement is arranged between the first port and the valve member and includes a sealing member arranged to seal against the valve member such that fluid cannot flow around an outer surface of the valve member. The sealing arrangement includes a sleeve arranged in the fluid passageway between the first port and the valve member. A deformable, incompressible, medium is contained around the sleeve and arranged such that, in use, a fluid within the sleeve exerts an outward pressure on the sleeve causing the sleeve to deform and act on the medium to push the sealing member against the valve member.

Device for regulating and controlling a flow-through and distributing a fluid in a fluid circuit has a housing with ports connecting fluid lines that are connected across a passage aperture with an interior volume of the housing, a valve element disposed in the interior volume of the housing, a drive element for moving the valve element relative to the housing.

Multiport valve with outlets transverse to the inlet useful as a coker switch valve. A sealed lower sleeve assembly provides semi-trunnion ball support. An upper part of the outlet seat recesses is formed in the bonnet, and a lower part in the valve body, which together bias a resilient member to load the seats, independently of end connections. Before bonnet assembly, when the ball is rotated to face a body outlet, there is sufficient space in the seat recesses to insert the seat, slide the seat onto the ball, and then insert the resilient member. When all the seats and resilient members are in place, engagement of the bonnet biases the upper part of the resilient members to load the seat. In valve operation, an enlarged ball outlet bore can straddle two outlet ports and maintain process media flow during switching. Also, methods of assembling, operating, and servicing the valve.
