Air shut-off valve apparatus for fuel cell system
An air shut-off valve apparatus for a fuel cell system is provided. The apparatus includes a valve body having an inlet-side air passage through which supply air flows and an outlet-side air passage through which exhaust air flows. A valve flap is installed in the valve body to open or close the inlet-side air passage and the outlet-side air passage. An inlet-side check valve is opened when pressure of the supply air is greater than or equal to a predetermined pressure, to guide the supply air into the fuel cell stack through the inlet-side air passage even while the valve flap is closed. An outlet-side check valve is opened when pressure of the exhaust air is greater than or equal to a predetermined pressure, to guide the exhaust air released from the fuel cell stack to flow through the outlet-side air passage even while the valve flap is closed.

DOUBLE ECCENTRIC VALVE
In a double eccentric valve, a valve seat or valve body includes a rubber seal part in which a seat surface or seal surface is formed. An interference between the valve seat and the valve body is made minimum at a position of a rotary-shaft-directional end of the valve body in the radial direction of the valve body which is parallel to an extending direction of the axis of a rotary shaft.
Turbine wastegate
An assembly can include a turbine housing that includes a bore, a wastegate seat, wastegate passages that extend to the wastegate seat and a divider wall disposed between the wastegate passages where the divider wall includes a divider wall surface; a rotatable wastegate shaft configured for receipt by the bore; a wastegate arm extending from the wastegate shaft; and a wastegate plug extending from the wastegate arm where the wastegate plug includes a contact portion that contacts the wastegate seat to cover the wastegate passages in a closed state and a mesh that contacts the divider wall surface in the closed state.
Deformed spherical eccentric valve
This utility model relates to a deformed spherical eccentric valve comprised of a valve body, valve stem, and open-close member, wherein the open-close member is positioned inside the valve body; the valve stem is connected to the open-close member; a sealing ring is set on the open-close member; a valve seat is set on the valve body; the valve seat and sealing ring are connected to form a sealing surface, which is curved This utility model has the advantages of simple structure, reduced opening and closing torque, good sealing performance, and prolonged valve service life.
Seal, assembly, and retention method
The present invention relates to a valve assembly that includes a retaining ring disposed within a cavity formed by adjoining a retainer and a disk member. The retaining ring can be disposed at a slant with respect to an inner surface of the cavity.
TURBINE WASTEGATE
An assembly can include a turbine housing that includes a bore, a wastegate seat, wastegate passages that extend to the wastegate seat and a divider wall disposed between the wastegate passages where the divider wall includes a divider wall surface; a rotatable wastegate shaft configured for receipt by the bore; a wastegate arm extending from the wastegate shaft; and a wastegate plug extending from the wastegate arm where the wastegate plug includes a contact portion that contacts the wastegate seat to cover the wastegate passages in a closed state and a mesh that contacts the divider wall surface in the closed state.
Flat bottom valve
A flat bottom ball valve is provided in the present disclosure. According to an example, the flat bottom ball valve includes a valve body, a valve core, a valve rod, a bonnet and a flow path. The valve core is mounted inside the valve body. The valve rod is mounted on two opposite sides of the valve body, perpendicular to a liquid flow direction and capable of driving the valve core to turn over. The bonnet is movably mounted on the valve body and parallel to the valve rod. The flow path is defined inside the valve body and connects two ends of the valve body. The valve core includes a main body part, a connecting part formed by extending symmetrically from two sides of the main body part, an accessory defined on the main body part and a first mounting hole in the connecting part to engage with the valve rod. The valve core swings around the valve rod along a path above the valve rod and is capable of being hermetically engaged with the valve body to turn off/on the flow path. A horizontal center line of the main body part is parallel to a horizontal center line of the first mounting hole in the liquid flow direction of the flow path.
Material supply system with valve assembly
A material supply assembly includes a valve assembly having an outer valve member and an inner valve member rotatable relative to the outer valve member. A base assembly includes an base structure and an actuator. An engagement structure is operative between the outer valve member and the actuator to prevent relative movement between the outer valve member and the actuator. A locking structure is operative between the inner valve member and the base structure to prevent relative movement between the inner valve member and the base structure. Movement of the actuator relative to the base structure moves the outer valve member relative to the inner valve member to operate the valve assembly.
CHARGING DEVICE WITH A WASTEGATE VALVE DEVICE
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.
