The invention relates to a ball valve with a cryogenic seat, which has a valve body with inlet and outlet ducts, a ball with a through hole arranged in an inner recess of the valve body between the inlet and outlet ducts, a closing seat for each duct having a sealing gasket that has a first portion which is inserted into a housing defined in the wall of the inner recess wherein the ball is arranged and a second portion which protrudes from the housing and is in contact with the ball, and a pressure element which pushes the sealing gasket against the ball, wherein the pressure element is arranged in the housing of the wall of the inner recess wherein the ball is arranged, in contact with the first portion of the sealing gasket.

Valve seats may include an insert and an outer housing. The insert may comprise a first material and the outer housing may comprise a second material. The second material of the outer housing may exhibit a hardness that is greater than a hardness of the first material of the insert. Valve assemblies and related method may include valve seats.

A sealing device for sealing between a valve body which is movably disposed in a valve box and which controls the flow of a fluid, and a tube which is connected to the valve box or is a part of the valve box and through which the fluid flows, is provided. The sealing device includes: a first seal portion which is a resin annular plate or film and is to be closely contacted with the outer surface of the valve body; and a cylindrical second seal portion which is formed from a material more flexible than that of the first seal portion, contacts the inner outer surface of the tube, and prevents the fluid from leaking from the tube. The first seal portion and the second seal portion are integrally joined. A flange joined to the first seal portion is formed on an edge of the second seal portion.

A cooling water control valve device includes a housing and a valve. The housing includes an inside space, an attachment surface, at least one inlet port, and at least one outlet port. The attachment surface is in contact with an outer wall of the engine. The valve is disposed in the inside space to control communication between the at least one inlet port and the at least one outlet port by rotating. The housing includes a housing body that defines the inside space therein and a bypass passage forming member that defines at least a portion of a bypass passage. The bypass passage bypasses the valve and fluidly connects the at least one inlet port and the inside space. The housing is attached to the engine such that the attachment surface comes into contact with the outer wall of the engine.

Valve seats may include an insert and a housing. The insert may comprise a first material and the housing may comprise a second material. The second material of the housing may exhibit a hardness that is greater than a hardness of the first material of the insert. Valve assemblies and related method may include valve seats.

A trunnion-type ball valve, a valve seal structure, and a valve packing in which, a seal surface pressure of a tip outer peripheral region is improved. A ball (3) provided inside a body (2) is rotatably provided via upper and lower stems (4 and 5) and is sealed with a ball seat (6). The trunnion-type ball valve has a packing attached between an outer periphery step part provided at a rear part of the ball seat and the body and a pressing mechanism by which the packing is pressed to a ball direction, and is provided with a contact surface to be contacted with a step part surface of the outer periphery step part on a tip outer diameter side of the packing and a space provided between the packing and the step part surface of the outer periphery step part on a tip inner diameter side of the packing.

A system and method for utilizing hyper-elastomeric material to create a seal between two surfaces in a valve in order to inhibit the seepage of fluidic material and particles from entering a valve cavity that can damage the assembly. The hyper-elastomeric compression of the hyper-elastomeric material is performed by utilizing hyper-elastomeric compression or a combination of hyper-elastomeric compression and traditional compression methods.

The present disclosure relates to the field of ball valves. The present disclosure envisages a non-pressure relieving ball valve that comprises: a stem connected to a handle regulating flow of pressurized fluid entering in the ball valve, a ball coupled to the stem and configured to control flow of the pressurized fluid through the ball valve, a seat abutting the ball to retain it in place, a sealing gasket provided in the ball valve and configured to restrict the flow of the pressurized fluid through the ball valve when the ball valve is in closed position, and a slotted ring configured to be fitted in the ball valve between the seat and the sealing gasket. The slotted ring is adapted to permit ingress of pressurized fluid in slots defined on the slotted ring to enable balancing of fluid pressures on either side of the seat.

Valve seats may include an insert and an outer housing. The insert may comprise a first material and the outer housing may comprise a second material. The second material of the outer housing may exhibit a hardness that is greater than a hardness of the first material of the insert. Valve assemblies and related method may include valve seats.

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.
