The cavity 340 is separated from the volutes 312, 314 and can be accessed from outside the housing portion 300 via a housing opening 342 which extends from outside the housing portion 300 into the cavity 340. The volute connection region 320 is located between the first volute channel 312 and the second volute channel 314 and defines a volute connecting opening 324. The valve body 100 is inserted in the cavity 340 of the housing portion 300 and comprises at least one fin 120. The internal lever 200 is coupled with the valve body 100 and configured to pivotably move the valve body 100 between a first position and a second position. In the first position of the valve body 100, the fin 120 blocks the volute connecting opening 324.

A tapping armature for liquid containers, in particular for being connected to the outlet neck or outlet opening of a transport and storage container, having an armature housing in which a valve body for opening and closing a flow cross-section of an outlet tube is pivotable with the help of a valve shaft, the valve body including a valve seal arranged, at least partially, at a peripheral edge of the valve body, such that, in a shut-off position of the valve body, a valve gap formed between the valve body and an internal wall of the outlet tube is sealed in a radial sealing plane by the valve seal, wherein at least one inner side of the valve body that faces a liquid volume for shut-off is covered by the valve seal such that a liquid contact face arranged on the inner side is realised by the valve seal.

A valve, having a valve housing which has a fluid inlet chamber and a fluid outlet chamber, having a valve seat which is arranged between the fluid inlet chamber and the fluid outlet chamber, and having a closure body which is movable back and forth between a release position and a blocking position. The closure body abuts against the valve seat in a fluid-tight manner in the blocking position, and wherein the fluid inlet chamber and the fluid outlet chamber are connected to one another in a fluid-conducting manner in the release position. The valve seat and the closure body each have a sealing surface, which are opposite one another in the blocking state, and an elastically deformable sealing element which is arranged between the sealing surfaces in the blocking state and which completely stretches over one of the sealing surfaces.

A valve including: a flow channel and a closure member. A first sealing surface is provided along walls of the flow channel and a second sealing surface is provided along outer edges of a sealing section of the closure member. A rotation axis is offset from the sealing section by a first predetermined distance and from a centerline of the closure member by a second predetermined distance. To ensure smooth operation of the closure member at least one of the first and second sealing surfaces has a non-conical shape that is at least in one area asymmetric with respect to the center axis of the closure member.

A diaphragmatic elbow damper joining two angularly oriented channels and configured to seal the channels in the absence of fluid flow overcoming gravity and atmospheric pressure.

The invention relates to a valve assembly (100) for a multi-scroll turbine (10) for controlling an overflow of exhaust gases between a first spiral (36) and a second spiral (38) and for controlling a bypass opening (50). The valve assembly 100 comprises a lever (110) and a valve closing element (120) which is operatively connected to the lever (110). Furthermore, the valve assembly (100) comprises a spring element (130) which is designed to pre-bias the valve closing element (120) the against lever (110).

A charging device may include a turbine housing and a wastegate valve device. The wastegate valve device may include a flap, a spindle arm, a wastegate spindle, an axial stop, and a lever arm non-rotatably attached to the wastegate spindle. The wastegate spindle may be rotatably mounted in a bushing disposed on the turbine housing. A wastegate duct may be disposed in the turbine housing. The wastegate duct may have a duct aperture enclosed by a valve seat. The duct aperture, when in a closed state, may be closed by the flap of the wastegate valve device. A sealing face of the flap may be defined by a sequence of at least two conical peripheral surfaces arranged next to one another and each having a different inclination.

The disclosure relates to a valve assembly 10 for controlling a volute connecting opening 324 of a multi-channel turbine 500. The valve assembly 10 comprises a housing portion 300, a valve body 100 and an internal lever 200. The housing portion 300 defines a first volute channel 312, a second volute channel 314 and a volute connecting region 320. The housing portion 300 further comprises a cavity 340. The cavity 340 is separated from the volutes 312, 314 and can be accessed from outside the housing portion 300 via a housing opening 342 which extends from outside the housing portion 300 into the cavity 340. The volute connection region 320 is located between the first volute channel 312 and the second volute channel 314 and defines a volute connecting opening 324. The valve body 100 is inserted in the cavity 340 of the housing portion 300 and comprises at least one fin 120. The internal lever 200 is coupled with the valve body 100 and configured to pivotably move the valve body 100 between a first position and a second position. In the first position of the valve body 100, the fin 120 blocks the volute connecting opening 324.

A valve device includes: a valve housing having a valve passage connected with an air flow passage; a valve disk rotatably disposed inside the valve housing through a valve driver and changing air flow cross-section of the valve passage; and a porous member installed at the valve disk and positioned in an open section between the valve disk and the valve passage.

A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a rotatable isolation valve (1) having a curved, spherical, cylindrical or concave portion. At least a portion of an ion guide (2) is positioned so as to extend within a swept volume of the isolation valve (1) enabling the ion guide (2) to be positioned close to a second downstream ion guide (3) and for ions to be transmitted from the first (2) ion guide to the second ion guide (3) with high ion transmission efficiency.
