A valve (1) controls flow of methane in automotive systems and includes at least one sealing group (98) having a proximal sealing ring (99a), in direct contact with the gas in rest conditions. A distal sealing ring (99b) is made of different materials. A check valve device (120) is applicable to the valve (1) and includes an entrance sealing group (130) provided with a proximal sealing ring (130a) and a distal sealing ring (130b) made of different materials.

A valve for a pressurized fluid, including a body housing a fluid circuit including an upstream end configured to be placed in communication with a reserve of pressurized fluid and a downstream end configured to be placed in communication with a user apparatus, the circuit including a control valve controlling the flow rate in the circuit, the control valve being operated by a mobile actuating member to command the opening or the closing thereof, the valve including a first wireless remote communications electronic member using electromagnetic data waves, wherein the first electronic communication member is secured to a support component mounted to move on the body of the valve between at least a first position and a second position with respect to the body.

An exemplary embodiment of a combination valve assembly comprises a valve housing, an overpressure vent valve, a fill valve and a movable liquid overfill seal. The valve housing includes a longitudinal axis. The overpressure vent valve relieves excess pressure from the tank to which the assembly is affixed. The fill valve includes a fill valve pin actuatable between an open and closed configuration. The overfill seal is movable between a fluid sealing position and a fluid releasing position, and is elastically biased toward its fluid sealing position. In its fluid sealing position, the overfill seal prevents liquid from escaping the tank through the dip tube and outward of the valve assembly. Actuation of the fill valve pin toward its open position and movement of the overfill seal toward its fluid releasing position are preferably configured to both occur in the same direction, which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis.

A tank valve for installation at a pressure gas tank has a base body including a first base body section, which in the assembled state projects into the pressure gas tank and is sealingly connected with the same, and includes a second base body section, which in the assembled state remains outside the pressure gas tank. The tank valve further has a plurality of functional sub-groups for refueling the pressure gas tank via a refueling path, for the extraction of gas from the pressure gas tank via an extraction path, and for implementing safety and operating functions.

A tank valve for installation on a compressed gas container has a base body having a shared gas connection for refueling/extraction which is divided inside the base body into a refueling line and an extraction line as part of an extraction path, and has an extraction valve in the extraction line. The tank valve has a check valve disposed in the extraction path in series with the extraction valve, blocking the flow against the flow direction when gas is extracted.

A cylinder container for storing and transporting a fluid, which is configured such that the same can store and transport a fluid, and can discharge the stored fluid at a configured discharge pressure under a configured condition. More specifically, the cylinder can have a fluid pressure adjustment valve installed on the cylinder container for storing and transporting a fluid such that a stored fluid can be discharged at a configured discharge pressure under a configured condition, the fluid pressure adjustment valve being configured such that the fluid storage capability of the cylinder container for storing and transporting a fluid can be improved.

Disclosed is a valve assembly and process for dispensing gas from a storage vessel that comprises a nozzle for discharging the gas. The valve assembly has a passage having a first end is in communication with the nozzle, and a second end in communication with an interior of the storage vessel where the gas is stored. A shut off valve is interposed in the passage for blocking or allowing gas to pass between said first end and the second end of the passage. A check valve may be secured in a bore of the nozzle to prevent accidental gas discharge.

A system for measuring pressure of an in-tank regulator includes a direct-pipe flow path which directly communicates with an inside of a high-pressure container, a high-pressure sensor, of which a portion is movable into the direct-pipe flow path, fastened to and separated from the direct-pipe flow path, and a shut-off valve disposed on the direct-pipe flow path between the high-pressure container and the high-pressure sensor, wherein when the high-pressure sensor is separated from the direct-pipe flow path, the direct-pie flow path is sealed by the shut-off valve.

A cylinder valve assembly includes an actual on-off control subsystem. An intermediate chamber extends between a probe chamber and proximal chamber of the valve body along a main axis. A control port extends radially of the main axis. A valve pin is received by the intermediate chamber and movable between closed and open positions. A control plug is received by the control port and actuatable between on and off positions. Fluid communication between the proximal and probe chambers through the valve body is enabled when the valve pin is in the open position and the control plug is in the on position. Contrastingly, such fluid communication is prevented if either the valve pin is in the closed position or the control plug is in the off position. The control plug is preferably located in radial alignment along the main axis with at least a portion of the valve pin.

The present invention relates to a valve assembly configured to be arranged in a cylinder opening of a gas cylinder, comprising a valve housing having a first housing end and a second housing end, a first housing opening arranged at the first housing end and a second housing opening arranged at the second housing end, the first housing opening having an inner diameter, and a bore extending between the first housing opening and the second housing opening, the bore having an inner face, and an inner valve unit arranged in the bore, said inner valve unit having an inner valve housing, and a first end and a second end, the first end having an outer diameter, the outer diameter being larger than the inner diameter of the first housing opening, the first end being configured to abut the inner face at the first opening, whereby a filling valve is provided, the inner face of the first opening being a filling valve seat, the second end comprising an inlet to the inner valve unit, the inner valve unit further comprising a consumption valve arranged at the first end, and a first pressure reduction valve configured to reduce a pressure in the gas cylinder from a first gas pressure to a second gas pressure, wherein the valve assembly further comprises a protection device arranged in connection with and configured to interact with the inner valve unit to hinder unintended gas flow into the gas cylinder. The present invention also relates to a gas cylinder having a gas with a pressure and an opening, to a gas delivering system, to a gas consuming system and to a beverage dispensing system.
