A PRV is provided, comprising an inlet, an outlet, and a pressure regulating system therebetween to maintain a set pressure at the outlet. The PRV further comprises a selection system configured to select between the two working pressures based on the pressure of the fluid at the inlet of the PRV, and to direct the pressure regulating system to maintain the set pressure at the outlet at the selected working pressure. The selection system comprises a pressure-motion transducer for directing the set pressure when in pressure communication with the inlet, and an auxiliary valve having an auxiliary inlet in pressure communication with the inlet and an auxiliary outlet in pressure communication with the pressure-motion transducer. The auxiliary valve is configured to establish pressure communication between its inlet and outlet when pressure in the inlet traverses a predetermined threshold.

The invention relates to a safety device (2) for interrupting a gas flow within a gas-conducting device (1). An inertia body (32) moves from a resting position in the case of an acceleration above a specifiable acceleration threshold value acting on it. Due to the movement, the inertia mechanism (3) activates a reaction mechanism (4), which interrupts the gas flow within the gas-conducting device (1). In this process, the safety device (2) is free of gas flowing through it.

An oxygen pressure regulating device (100) is disclosed. The device (100) comprises a housing (102) including an inlet port (104) and an outlet port (106), the housing (102) including: a spring unit (112) including a plate (116) placed in fluid communication with the inlet port (104), the plate (116) being configured to be moved when impinged upon by an oxygen stream at a first pressure received through the inlet port (104); a bellows arrangement (118); and a switch (146) configured to be activated to open the outlet port (106) for releasing the oxygen stream through the outlet port (106). Also disclosed is a system comprising the oxygen pressure regulating device (100), a laminar flow element and a second conduit.

A pressure regulating valve for an inkjet printhead. The valve includes: a valve inlet connect to a valve outlet; via a flow path; a first orifice positioned in the flow path having a sealable first seat; a movable first valve member configured for sealing engagement with the first seat; a second orifice positioned in the flow path; a movable second valve member configured for regulating a fluid flow rate through the second orifice; a regulator chamber having the valve outlet and comprising a diaphragm operatively connected to the second valve member, such that movement of the diaphragm moves the second valve member relative to the second orifice; and a biasing mechanism for resiliently biasing the diaphragm away from the second orifice.

A pressure regulating device includes a pressure stabilizer including a valve body, a pressure regulating assembly, and a switching assembly. The valve body has an inlet portion, a decompression chamber communicating with the inlet portion, and an outlet portion. The inlet portion has an inlet port for connecting to an outlet opening of a portable gas tank. The outlet portion communicates with the decompression chamber and has an outlet port. The pressure regulating assembly is disposed in the decompression chamber. The pressure regulating assembly regulates the pressure of gas outputted by the portable gas tank to form an output gas with a predetermined pressure. The switching assembly is disposed on the outlet portion and is located between the decompression chamber and the outlet port and is manipulatable to block or open the output gas, thereby regulating the pressure of the output gas outputted by the portable gas tank.

A coaxial liquid pressure regulator includes a housing having an inlet portion and an outlet portion, a substantially tubular valve member slidingly accommodated inside the housing and having a longitudinal axial passage and an upstream end with an inlet edge for the liquid, a valve body fixed inside the inlet portion and defining a seat that interacts with the inlet edge of the valve member and forms therewith a port having a variable width. The inlet portion includes an inlet fitting and a collection chamber directly downstream from the inlet fitting and the valve body includes a cantilever element transversely extending from the inner wall of the collection chamber. First and second deflection elements are arranged between the inlet fitting and the inlet edge, which facilitate flow conveyance toward the port and the longitudinal passage of the valve member.

A tray is provided between a supply air port member and an exhaust port member. A peripheral edge portion of an opening portion of an exhaust port of the exhaust port member that faces an output chamber side is a conical guiding portion. A spherical body is disposed between the guiding portion and an inner bottom face of a tray. The inner peripheral wall of the tray fits slidably into the outer peripheral surface of the end portion of the exhaust port member positioned within the output chamber. The other end of the poppet valve is caused to contact the outer bottom face of the tray. Thus, the exhaust port and the spherical body are centered automatically at the position of the center of the exhaust port, regardless of the position of the shaft axis of the poppet valve, so that there will be essentially no sliding friction.

A pressure regulator for liquid media includes a through-flow path which extends between two connections for a medium-conducting line. The through-flow path is equipped with a valve seat which can be released or closed by a closing element that is mounted in a movable manner between a closing position and a release position. A wear of the closing element and/or the valve seat can be monitored during ongoing operations using a wear sensor device.

A temperature-controlled pressure regulator assembly includes a regulator having a regulator body, a valve seat, an inlet, an outlet, and defines a flow passage connecting the inlet and the outlet. A control element controls the device, a portion of the flow passage extends through a heat chamber, and a heater is positioned to heat the chamber thereby conveying heat to a fluid in the flow passage. A controller is electrically coupled to the heater and is coupled to a power source. A thermal cut-off fuse is coupled to a control circuit, with the thermal cut-off fuse arranged to electrically decouple the heater from the control circuit in response to a temperature exceeding a threshold, thereby deactivating the heater. The thermal cut-off fuse is disposed in a circular fuse holder and positioned adjacent the heater and adjacent a longitudinal center of the heat chamber.

A pressure reducer includes a housing, defining upstream and downstream pressure chambers. A valve is positioned in the housing and includes a diaphragm acting on a valve tappet. The valve includes a valve body fastened to the valve tappet and cooperating with a sealing element. The valve body has a cylindrical, hollow-cylindrical, or conical contour and forms a sealing surface effective in the radial direction. The sealing surface is interrupted at at least one circumferential position by a flow channel, such that, depending on a pressure drop in the downstream pressure chamber, either the sealing element lies against the sealing surface and completely closes a flow region between the sealing element and the sealing surface or the sealing element is removed from the sealing surface and completely opens the flow region or the sealing element lies against the sealing surface and partly opens the flow region exclusively by the respective flow channel.
