Systems and methods for determining failure in a back pressure balanced relief valve

A back pressure balanced relief valve can include a piston, a pressure balancing device, and a pressure sensor. A pressure chamber can be created between the pressure balancing device and the piston. The pressure sensor can be configured to monitor the pressure in the pressure chamber for indications of a potential failure of the balancing device.

Disposable Reduced-Pressure Therapy System With Electronic Feedback
20180280597 · 2018-10-04 ·

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing feedback for reduced-pressure therapy are described. A regulator can include a supply chamber fluidly coupled to a dressing, a control chamber fluidly coupled to the dressing, a charging chamber fluidly coupled to the supply chamber through a port, and a regulator valve operable to control fluid communication through the port based on a pressure differential between the control chamber and a target pressure. The feedback system can include a printed circuit board, a pressure sensor and a signal interface communicatively coupled to the printed circuit board. The pressure sensor can be fluidly coupled to the control chamber to determine the pressure in the control chamber. The signal interface can indicate a state of the reduced-pressure therapy. A potential source can be communicatively coupled to the printed circuit board, the pressure sensor, and the indicator.

PRESSURE RESPONSIVE VALVE FOR A COOLING FLOW IN A GAS TURBINE
20180202361 · 2018-07-19 · ·

There is disclosed a pressure responsive valve 352 for controlling a cooling flow through an orifice 320 in a gas turbine assembly 300. The valve 352 comprises an attachment point 360, a valve element 358, and a compressible valve body 354 defining a chamber 355 for sealing a volume of compressible gas. The valve body 354 is configured to act between the attachment point 360 and the valve element 358 so that in use expansion or contraction of the valve body 354 in response to external pressure causes the valve element 358 to move relative the orifice 320. A corresponding kit, method of installation and gas turbine assembly are disclosed.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE AND ADSORBENT CHAMBER FOR TWO-PHASE IMMERSION COOLING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING SAME
20240404916 · 2024-12-05 ·

A pressure relief valve for a two-phase immersion cooling system is configured to support fluid flow rates up to 500 cfm, 550 cfm, 600 cfm, or even 2000 cfm. This, in turn, allows the cooling system to support computing systems with a power density greater than 250 kW. This is accomplished by the valve having a relatively large passage (e.g., 2-6 inch diameter), a relatively large spring (e.g., 1.5-1.7 inch diameter), and a guide rod rigidly coupled to the poppet and slidably coupled to a guide plate. The valve may be used as an outlet valve and coupled to an adsorbent chamber to reduce the loss of coolant from the system as air is vented to an ambient environment. The valve may be used as an inlet valve and coupled to an adsorbent chamber to reduce the intake of water vapor as air from the ambient environment flows into the system.

Systems and methods for determining failure in a back pressure balanced relief valve

A diaphragm assembly for a pressure relief valve can include a disc guide that is configured to receive a portion of a disc holder, a bonnet adapter, and a diaphragm that is clamped at an outer edge between the disc guide and the bonnet adapter. The diaphragm assembly can be positioned between a bonnet of the pressure relief valve and a valve body of the pressure relief valve to convert the pressure relief valve to a backpressure-balanced pressure relief valve by counterbalancing a backpressure that acts upon the disc holder.

Capacity control valve

A capacity control valve includes a main valve that opens and closes communication between a discharge port and a control port formed in a valve housing by movement of a rod driven by a solenoid, a CS communication passage providing communication between a control fluid supply chamber formed in the valve housing and a suction port, and an on-off valve formed by a communication passage forming member having an annular valve seat in an outer periphery of the CS communication passage and an on-off valve element biased in the valve closing direction with respect to the valve seat.
