A time delay valve includes a switching valve that switches between a first position and a second position; an urging member that urges the switching valve toward the first position; a driving mechanism that urges the switching valve toward the second position located opposite the first position in the presence of the pressure of a pilot fluid being supplied: a pilot flow channel that introduces the pilot fluid to the driving mechanism; and a delaying mechanism that delays the switching timing of the switching valve. The delaying mechanism includes a first throttle valve provided on the pilot flow channel, a compensation mechanism that urges the switching valve toward the first position in the presence of the pressure of the pilot fluid being supplied, and a compensation flow channel that is branched from the pilot flow channel to introduce a portion of the pilot fluid to the compensation mechanism.

A pipe stopper includes an expandable stopper body defining a stopper cavity and configurable in an expanded configuration and a contracted configuration; a pressure assembly comprising a pressure housing and a piston, the piston slidably engaged with a housing cavity of the pressure housing, the piston operatively connected to the expandable stopper body; and a valve stem define a stem fluid pathway, the valve stem movable between an open position and a closed position; wherein, in the open position, the stem fluid pathway is in fluid communication with the housing cavity and the expandable stopper body is movable to the expanded configuration, and in the closed configuration, the stem fluid pathway is not in fluid communication with the housing cavity and the expandable stopper body is movable to the contracted configuration.

Disclosed is a hydraulic pilot valve which is provided with an orifice so as to reduce vibration of a valve and minimize impact applied to a valve even when a valve is suddenly operated. At least some of hydraulic oil supplied to a supply chamber flows to a valve chamber or a central pipeline through a damping unit according to elevation of a spool.

A fluidic valve may include an inlet, a control port, an additional control port, an outlet, a fluid channel configured to convey fluid from the inlet to the outlet, and a piston that includes (1) a restricting gate transmission element configured to block, when the piston is in a first position, the fluid channel and unblock, when the piston is in a second position, the fluid channel, (2) a controlling gate transmission element configured to interface with a control pressure from the control port that forces the piston towards the first position when applied to the controlling gate transmission element, and (3) an additional controlling gate transmission element configured to interface with an additional control pressure from the additional control port that forces the piston towards the second position when applied to the additional controlling gate transmission element. Various other related devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

A valve assembly, comprising: a valve housing body extending along a longitudinal axis X between a first end and a second end and defining a cylindrical passage therethough from the first to the second end; a fluid inlet at the first end for receiving a pressurized fluid; and a fluid outlet provided in between the first and second end of the housing body; and a piston provided in said cylindrical passage, said piston being axially movable between a first position wherein said fluid outlet is blocked by said piston such that the piston blocks the flow of fluid from the inlet to the outlet, and a second position wherein said outlet is not blocked by said piston and a fluid flow path is formed from the inlet to the outlet.

A pipe stopper assembly includes a stopper fitting defining a fitting channel, the stopper fitting configured to be mounted to a pipeline; and a pipe stopper positioned in the fitting channel and comprising an expandable stopper body and a pressure assembly, the expandable stopper body configurable in an expanded configuration and a contracted configuration, the pressure assembly configurable in an open configuration and a closed configuration; wherein, in the open configuration, the expandable stopper body is biased to the expanded configuration, and in the closed configuration, the expandable stopper body is biased to the contracted configuration; and wherein, in the expanded configuration, fluid is prohibited from flowing through the fitting channel, and in the contracted configuration, fluid is permitted to flow through the fitting channel.

A valve includes a solenoid with a chamber housing a pin that actuates when the solenoid is energized. The valve also includes a spool housed within a sleeve. The sleeve includes a supply section with a supply port in communication with a supply source and a tank section with a tank port in communication with a reservoir. The spool includes a body including a first passage receiving fluid from the supply source when an opening for the first passage aligns with the supply port. When the solenoid is energized and the opening for the first passage aligns with the supply port, fluid from the supply source (i) applies a force to the spool body in a direction of actuation by the pin and (ii) flows to a second passage within the valve.

A valve assembly for an anti-ice system of an aircraft. The valve assembly comprises: a valve body; a first piston; and a regulating piston. The valve body defines a valve inlet, a valve outlet, a fluid passage between the valve inlet and the valve outlet, and a core portion defining a first chamber by cooperation with the first piston and a regulating chamber by cooperation with the regulating piston. The first piston is moveable between a first position and a second position, and the regulating piston is movable between a first position and a second position. The first piston overlaps the regulating piston when the first piston is its first position and the regulating piston is in its second position.
