VALVE ARRANGEMENT
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.
Pressure gauge with automatic bleed valve
A pressure gauge includes a housing defining a fluid path and a bleed path. An inlet is mounted on the housing and a pressure sensor is disposed within the housing. A bleed valve is disposed along the fluid path and selectively opens or closes the bleed path. An actuator moves the bleed valve between a closed position and an open position. A control module is coupled to the pressure sensor and the actuator and includes a memory and a processor. A target fluid pressure is stored in the memory and the processor receives pressure data from the pressure sensor. When the pressure data is greater than the target fluid pressure, the processor controls the actuator to place the bleed valve in the open position. When the pressure data is equal to the target fluid pressure, the processor controls the actuator to place the bleed valve in the closed position.
Valve cooling and noise suppression
Certain embodiments provide a cover mounted on top of a manifold, the cover comprising an exhaust opening and an inner surface forming a space between the inner surface of the cover and an outer surface of the manifold, wherein the space is configured to receive pressurized gas at an inlet positioned on a first side of a valve. The valve is coupled to the outer surface of the manifold and positioned within the space. The exhaust opening is positioned on a second side of the valve opposite the first side of the valve such that pressurized gas circulates from the inlet around the valve and exits through the exhaust opening.
TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED FLUID CIRCULATION APPARATUS AND TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED FLUID CIRCULATION SYSTEM
A temperature-controlled fluid circulation apparatus includes a flow path through which a fluid controlled by a temperature control unit is circulated via a fluid supply target; a three-way valve in the flow path downstream of the fluid supply target and upstream of a temperature control position by the temperature control unit, a part between two out of three ports constituting a part of the flow path; and a bypass flow path branching from the flow path downstream of the temperature control position by the temperature control unit and upstream of the fluid supply target, to be connected to one remaining port out of the three ports of the three-way valve. A pressure of the fluid flowing through the flow path at a position that is downstream of the fluid supply target and upstream of the three-way valve is detected by a pressure sensor.

CONNECTION DEVICE
A connection device between at least one hydraulic pressure supply device, such as the pressure supply device of a mobile work machine, and at least one hydraulic consumer, such as a hydraulically actuatable work tool of at least one attachment device, having hydraulic connectors (2) at the side of the supply device and correspondingly couplable hydraulic connectors (6) at the side of the respective consumer, characterized in that by means of consumer-side data storage devices (8) data relating to the respective consumer is transmitted to the respectively assignable supply device so that, in the coupled state of the mutually assigned hydraulic connectors (2, 6), the respective consumer is individually supplied by its supply device with hydraulic medium of predeterminable pressure and volume flow.
Solenoid valve system
A solenoid valve system includes a supply solenoid valve, a plurality of exhaust solenoid valves, and a valve control section controlling opening and closing operation of the supply solenoid valve and the plurality of exhaust solenoid valves using PWM or PFM. The plurality of exhaust solenoid valves are disposed in parallel with each other. The supply solenoid valve and the plurality of exhaust solenoid valves have substantially identical flow rate characteristics. The number of the plurality of the exhaust solenoid valves is twice the number of the supply solenoid valve.
Control of hydraulic actuating cylinders in roll stands
A hydraulic control loop controls a hydraulic adjusting cylinder. The cylinder has a cylindrical housing and a displaceable piston therein. The piston divides the housing interior into a first and a second hydraulic chamber. A first hydraulic valve supplies the first hydraulic chamber with hydraulic fluid. A hydraulic pressure of the first hydraulic chamber is adjustable by controlling the first hydraulic valve. A second hydraulic valve supplies the second hydraulic chamber with hydraulic fluid. A hydraulic pressure of the second hydraulic chamber is adjustable by controlling the second hydraulic valve. A control device controls the two hydraulic valves. In a position control state, the second hydraulic valve is controlled by a position control signal dependent on the working position of the piston and the first hydraulic valve is controlled by an adjusted position control signal, that is generated on the basis of the position control signal.
