A pressure control valve for controlling or regulating a pressure of a compressed fluid in a pilot pressure chamber includes a valve housing with at least one inlet which is fluidically connectable to the pilot pressure chamber, at least one outlet, a tappet mounted in the valve housing to be moved along a longitudinal axis by means of an actuation device that can be energized, and a first seal element which is mounted in the valve housing to move along the longitudinal axis and which is preloaded into a closed position by means of a first spring. The first seal element rests against a first valve seat in the closed position. The first seal element has a passage through which the compressed fluid can flow. A second seal element is secured to the tappet and can be moved by the energization of the actuation device.

A pressure regulator (10) including: a housing (12, 14) including a flow passage (44, 46, 48); a plunger (38) configured to move within the housing, wherein the plunger is hollow and has a plunger passage (46) included in the flow passage; a valve seat (52) in the housing and disposed in the flow passage immediately upstream of an inlet (44) to the plunger passage; a shuttle (42) within the housing configured to move between an upstream-most position at which the shuttle abuts the valve seat to close the flow passage and a downstream position displaced from the valve seat which opens the flow passage; a sealed chamber (26) within the housing and between the plunger and the shuttle, wherein the sealed chamber is configured to be operated at pressures other than at atmospheric pressure; and a port (66) in the housing and open to the sealed chamber, wherein the port is configured to be connected to a source (68) of a pressurized fluid.

A system includes a first valve fluidly connected to a first vessel and a second valve fluidly connected to a second vessel. The first valve includes a body and a piston. The body includes first and second ports and a bore having a longitudinal axis. The first port is in communication with the bore and an interior of the first vessel. The second port is in communication with the bore, the second valve, and an atmosphere exterior to the first vessel. The piston is movable along the longitudinal axis of the bore. A first position of the piston blocks the first port; a second position of the piston allows fluid communication between the first and second ports. The first valve is configured so that fluid pressure from the second valve, communicating through the second port, urges the piston to the second position.

A pressure regulating module for regulating the pressure of a first fluid using a reference pressure of a second fluid. A pressure transfer assembly including a piston slidably disposed within a cylinder bore between a control fluid chamber and a reference fluid chamber is dimensioned to provide a predefined radial clearance between at least a portion of the outer side wall and the inner circumferential surface of the housing along a predefined axial length of the main body. The predefined radial clearance and predefined axial length are dimensioned to control the flow rate and amount of fluid along one or more fluid communication passages formed between at least a portion of the piston and the housing inner circumferential surface from one or more high pressure fluid zones to a lower pressure fluid zone which can include a leak and/or weep orifice directing fluid to a drain and/or vent circuit.

The invention concerns a nozzle support device (10) comprising a body (12) that has a fluid inlet passage (24) and at least one outlet passage (26), and that comprises a revolving section that forms a hub (16) that extends around a rotational axis (A), a nozzle-carrying head (14) that is rotatably mounted on the hub (16) of the body (12) around the rotational axis (A), and that is designed to simultaneously carry at least two nozzles, and immobilising means (74, 86) for immobilising the nozzle-carrying head (14) in rotation on the body (12) in a plurality of predefined positions, characterised in that the device (10) is provided with a mechanism for rotating the nozzle-carrying head (14) comprising an oscillating drive member (90) provided with at least one retractable drive pawl that has one free end designed to push the drive teeth in succession.

A vacuum-based energy-saving large-capacity precision pressure regulation valve includes a base valve seat, a middle valve seat, and a pressure regulation seat. The base valve seat includes a main channel that receives a primary-side pressure and a secondary-side pressure to flow therein and includes a valve port piston arranged in the base valve seat to form a valve port opening. The valve port piston is rotatably coupled to a sealing straight rod that is coupled to a main diaphragm. The main diaphragm is clamped between the middle valve seat and the base valve seat to form a vacuum pressure chamber. A balance diaphragm is clamped between the middle valve seat and the pressure regulation seat. An atmosphere passage is connected to a space below the balance diaphragm. A guide passage and a feedback passage are in communication with the vacuum pressure chamber and the main channel.

A device (1) for controlling the flow of a fluid through a conduit (3) from an upstream side (8) to a downstream side (10). The device includes one or more valve apertures (6) through which the flow of fluid is selectively controlled. A valve member (12) is arranged to move reciprocally to selectively open and close the one or more valve apertures. The device includes a stop (18) for arresting the travel of the valve member arranged at or beyond a position the valve member reaches when at least some of the one or more valve apertures are open. The valve member includes an end portion (13) arranged to come into contact with the stop when the valve member reaches or passes the position at which at least some of the one or more valve apertures are open and a body portion (9).
