An exhaust valve assembly comprises a housing having a central axis. A ram assembly moves along a shaft fixed inside a hollow interior of the housing. Downstream movement of the ram assembly increases the size of the valve opening, allowing additional exhaust gases to pass through the interior of the housing. Springs maintain the ram assembly in a position in which exhaust gases may pass around the ram assembly. Sufficient force on the ram assembly from exhaust gases compresses at least one spring allowing the ram assembly to move downstream, thereby allowing additional exhaust gases to pass through the interior of the housing.

A passive thermal control valve comprising a thermal actuator coupled to a valve body having first and second ports. The thermal actuator including an actuator body having an inner bore. An adjustment stop engages the actuator body. A cylinder is received within the actuator body inner bore and the cylinder has a cylinder bore open at one end. An actuator spring within the actuator body biases the cylinder towards the adjustment stop. An actuator rod is at least partially received within the cylinder and has first and second ends. At least a portion of the actuator rod is allowed to extend through the open cylinder bore. A sealing element forms a seal between the actuator rod and the cylinder and defines a sealed chamber within the cylinder. A thermal fluid is contained within the cylinder. A lever mechanism is connected to the valve body and includes a lever having a first end connected to the valve body. A valve spool is connected to a lever second end. The valve spool is arranged and designed to close the first port and allow a system fluid to flow through the second port, close the second port and allow the system fluid to flow through the first port, or allow the system fluid to flow through both the first and second ports.

A control valve for a lubricant nozzle for cooling a piston of an internal combustion engine includes at least one passage opening through which lubricant can flow, a control part which is movable in a respective movement direction and which, as a function of its position, forms an opening cross section with the passage opening for at least partially opening up or for closing off the passage opening, and an actuation part which moves the control part as a function of a pressure of the lubricant between at least one first position in the presence of a first pressure, a second position in the presence of a second pressure and a third position in the presence of a third pressure of the lubricant. The second pressure is higher than the first pressure and lower than the third pressure, wherein the opening cross section formed in the second position is larger than the opening cross sections in the first position and in the third position.

A device for controlling a fluid mass flow for a device for compressing a gaseous fluid from a low to a high pressure level. The device has a housing with fluid connections at different pressure levels, and a closure element arranged to move in a translatory manner within the housing along a longitudinal axis, with effective surfaces assigned to the fluid connections. The closure element regulates a flow cross-section of a flow path extending between a first and a second fluid connection. The device has a receiving element for receiving the closure element. A primary segment is arranged to be completely surrounded by the receiving element as a first section of the closure element and a secondary segment is arranged to be completely surrounded by the housing as a second section of the closure element and the receiving element is arranged to be completely surrounded by the housing.

A gas flow control system for delivering a plurality of gas flows. The gas flow control system has a gas flow path extending from a gas inlet to first and second gas outlets. First and second flow restrictors are operably coupled to the gas flow path. First and second valves are operably coupled to the gas flow path such that when both first and second valves are in a fully open state, flows of gas from the first and second gas outlets are split according to the impedances of the first and second flow restrictors.
