An apparatus for retaining the noise attenuation assembly includes a plurality of rods coupled to the at least one plate. The plurality of rods includes at least one rod having a first end disposed through the outer edge of the at least one plate to support the noise attenuation assembly.

GATE VALVE

Gate valve (1) with a valve casing (4) and a closing body (3) arranged longitudinally movably in the valve casing (4). An inlet channel (5) and an outlet channel (6) are formed in the valve casing (4). The closing body (3) via longitudinal movement cooperates with a valve seat (8) formed in the valve casing (4) and hence opens and closes a hydraulic connection between the inlet channel (5) and the outlet channel (6). The inlet channel (5) and the outlet channel (6) are each formed as a spiral.

Actuator adapter for bonnet nub stem design

An actuating apparatus for operating a valve assembly includes an actuator body that selectively couples to the valve assembly and an actuator stem that has an end that extends into the actuator body. The valve assembly has having a valve body, a valve member in the valve body, a valve stem attached to the valve member, and a profile on an end of the valve stem distal from the valve member. The actuating apparatus also includes an adapter assembly in the actuator body having a threaded end that engages the actuator stem, and a profiled end distal from the threaded end that engages the profile on the valve stem and couples to the valve stem, so that selectively applying axial forces to the adapter assembly moves the valve stem and the valve member.

Method and apparatus for mounting a control valve positioner

A control valve positioner mounting system is configured to include a control valve, a control valve positioner, an attachment lever translating movement of the control valve to the control valve positioner, and a control valve attachment system for attaching the control valve to the attachment lever using a spring loaded attachment affixed to the control valve and applying spring force to the attachment lever.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPOSING OF FLUID FROM A KITCHEN SINK

A fluid-disposing system for a galley sink includes: a galley sink for a galley cabin monument, a self-regulating valve, a control unit, a sensor, and a signal connection between the sensor and the control unit. The valve input is connected to a fluid line, connected to a drainage opening of the galley sink. The valve is arranged underneath the drainage opening, such that fluid from the galley sink can flow through the associated drainage opening into the fluid line. The valve output is designed to be couplable with a source of negative pressure. The valve is designed to automatically open at a predetermined amount M1 of fluid in the fluid line, such that fluid can flow out of the fluid line, and to automatically close at a predetermined amount M2 of fluid in the fluid line, such that the predetermined amount M2 of fluid remains in the fluid line.

REVERSE TAPER PISTON FOR PNEUMATIC ACTUATORS
20170321819 · 2017-11-09 ·

A product may include a canister and a diaphragm may separate a control chamber within the canister. A piston may be movable in the canister between a first position and a second position in response to a pressure change in the control chamber. The piston may have a body and a skirt may extend from the body. The skirt may taper inward relative to the body as the skirt extends away from the body.

Diaphragm-actuated fluid control valve
09765904 · 2017-09-19 · ·

Provided is a diaphragm-actuated fluid control valve capable of, even in a region where the pressure difference between the pressures on the upper surface side and the lower surface side of a diaphragm is small, significantly changing the amount of lift of the diaphragm relative to the change in the pressure difference, without reducing the thickness of the diaphragm, and thus is capable of providing a predetermined flow rate and performing stable flow rate control. The control valve has a diaphragm 35 for driving a valve 25. The diaphragm 35 has a mountainous-wave portion 35b formed between an outermost portion 35a and an innermost portion 35c thereof, the mountainous-wave portion having the shape of concentric circles when viewed in a plan view and having N+(0.25 to 0.75) elevated portions that protrude upward or downward when viewed in cross section, where N is a positive integer (1, 2, 3, . . . ).

No-bolt security latching system

A system for securing a valve actuator to body of a valve assembly includes an actuator housing having housing lugs protruding radially to define a plurality of housing slots therebetween. A bonnet has bonnet lugs protruding radially to define a plurality of bonnet slots therebetween. Each of the housing lugs are sized to pass axially through a respective one of the bonnet slots when the actuator housing is in a released position and, after passing through the bonnet slots, the actuator housing is rotatable to a locked position where at least a portion of one or more of the housing lugs is axially aligned with a portion of a respective bonnet lug to prevent axial movement of the actuator housing, the actuator housing rotating less than one full revolution between the released and locked positions. A securing mechanism prevents relative rotation between the actuator housing and the bonnet.
