An electro-hydraulic control system for actuating a control valve includes a control module. The control module is coupled to the surface via two hydraulic lines and an electric line. The control module uses one of the hydraulic lines as an “open” line and the other line as a “close” line. The control module includes a normally closed (NC) solenoid valve (SOV) that is coupled to the electric line and can be controlled from the surface to open or close. The opening or closing of the NC SOV in cooperation with hydraulic pressure on an “open” or “close” line of the hydraulic lines operates (i.e., closes or opens) the control valve.

In a capacity control valve, a position of a valve element is changed by drawing a movable iron core to a fixed iron core with magnetic force by energization of an electromagnetic coil. The iron core on one side includes a projected portion on the radially outer side, the iron core on the other side includes a projected portion on the radially inner side, and these projected portions are capable of being loosely fitted to each other when the movable iron core is drawn to the fixed iron core. The projected portion is formed to be smaller than an opposing surface of the iron core facing an effective magnetic force surface of a distal end of the projected portion and formed in a tapered shape.

The gas circuit control system of a pneumatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation pressing device can greatly reduce the power consumption of electronic control pneumatic pressing devices

Pulsed gas delivery is obtained with mass flow control using a thermal mass flow sensor and control valve. The controller is augmented for pressure control with a downstream pressure sensor. In separate control modes of operation, the control valve is controlled in response to the flow sensor during pulse gas delivery mode and controlled in response to the downstream pressure sensor during pressure control mode of operation.

An electro-hydraulic control system actuates a control valve. A control module is controlled via two hydraulic lines and two electrical power lines. The control module uses one of the hydraulic lines as a “supply” line and the other line as a “return” line. The control module includes two normally closed (NC) solenoid valves (SOVs) that are coupled to the electrical power lines and can be controlled from the surface to open or close. The opening or closing of the NC SOVs in cooperation with hydraulic pressure on a “supply” line of the hydraulic lines operates the control valve. A NC hydraulic activated pilot cartridge in the control module can be actuated open, and movement of the control valve in either direction can continue for a short time without energizing either of the NC SOVs, therefore lowering a power demand required by the system.

Valve arrangement for influencing a fluid flow for a fluid consumer, having a first valve group with which a first actuator is associated, having a second valve group with which a second actuator is associated, the first valve group and second valve group being associated in a first functional position as a parallel circuit with a first fluid line in a first functional position and are associated with a second fluid line in a second functional position as a series circuit, the first valve group or second valve group being designed for actuating the respective other actuator in the first functional position and being designed for switching off the respective other actuator in the second functional position.

An actuation pressure to actuate one or more hydraulic actuators may be determined based on a load on the one or more hydraulic actuators of a robotic device. Based on the determined actuation pressure, a pressure rail from among a set of pressure rails at respective pressures may be selected. One or more valves may connect the selected pressure rail to a metering valve. The hydraulic drive system may operate in a discrete mode in which the metering valve opens such that hydraulic fluid flows from the selected pressure rail through the metering valve to the one or more hydraulic actuators at approximately the supply pressure. Responsive to a control state of the robotic device, the hydraulic drive system may operate in a continuous mode in which the metering valve throttles the hydraulic fluid such that the supply pressure is reduced to the determined actuation pressure.
