Exhaust Capture Devices And Methods
A system of controlling the capture of emissions from an exhaust emitter includes a housing including an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet; an adapter configured to attach to the exhaust emitter and the inlet of the housing; an attachment assembly coupled to the exhaust emitter, the attachment assembly including at least one leg pivotably coupled to the adapter; at least one valve coupled to the housing; and a control unit capable of communicating with the at least one valve to control the emission of exhaust through the device.
ADJUSTMENT AND REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH A PRESSURE REGULATOR FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
Adjustment and remote control system with a pressure regulator for irrigation systems to regulate the water pressure at the outlet, and consequently its flow, being crucial to assure the uniformity and the quantity of water as applied. In the adjustment and remote control system for pressure in irrigation systems, the electronic control board is informed of the target pressure at the outlet of the pressure regulator as disclosed in this document; it reads the current pressure of the adjustment and control system by means of the electronic pressure sensor and, if the pressure is lower than the target, a solenoid valve for pressure increase is activated, using the pressure generated by a pressure generator in any given fluid, and, if the pressure is higher, that pressure is reduced.
INFLATABLE BLADDER SYSTEM FOR BULK LIQUID TRANSPORT
A system (typically on a bulk liquid transport vehicle) includes a liquid storage tank, one or more liquid storage compartments inside the liquid storage tank, an inflatable bladder inside each of the liquid storage compartments, a compressed air system to provide compressed air to inflate each one of the inflatable bladders, and one or more valves. Each of the valves is configured to control air flow between the compressed air system and a corresponding one of the inflatable bladders and/or to control air flow between the corresponding inflatable bladder and atmosphere.
HIGH INTEGRITY PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR HYDROCARBON FLOW LINES
A high integrity protection system includes a flow line including an inlet configured to be connected to a first source of pressure and an outlet configured to be connected to a downstream system. A first subsystem is installed on the flow line between the inlet and the outlet. A second subsystem is installed on the flow line between the inlet and the outlet, and the second subsystem is in a parallel flow configuration in relation to the first subsystem. The system includes a second source of pressure configured to be fluidically connected to the first subsystem and the second subsystem.
MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE
Microfluidic device comprising a tank (6) supplying a microchannel (2) with a first fluid (S), and a circuit (8) in which a flow of a second fluid can be established without contact with the microchannel (2). The circuit (8) passes through the tank (6) or is connected to the tank (6) by a pipe (30). The circuit (8) comprises a first on/off valve (12) mounted in parallel with a first proportional valve (11), these first valves (11, 12) being controllable so as to modify the pressure applied in the tank (6) to the first fluid (S) by the second fluid.

Single solenoid valve electro-hydraulic control system that actuates control valve
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.
Valve device
A valve device with pressure-reducing function, comprised of at least one logic valve (V1); one lock valve (V2); and one pressure-reducing valve (V3),
wherein the inlet (1) of the logic valve (V1) may be connected to a pressure supply source (HD), characterized in that the outlet (V1.2) of the logic valve (V1) and the outlet (V3.1) of the pressure reducing valve (V3) are connected together to an outlet or user port (A); and that the lock valve (V2) is connected with its inlet (V2.1) to the inlet (V1.1) of the logic valve (V1) as well as to a control side (V1.3) of the same, and with its outlet (V2.2) to an inlet (V3.2) of the pressure-reducing valve (V3).
Multi-mode-control apparatus for inner pressure of vacuum chamber and multi-mode-control method for inner pressure of vacuum chamber
{Problem} In combining the master valve and the groups of slave valves, the configuration of the combination is made not for performing simply a uniform control, but is made to be such a form as capable of corresponding to the size and the inside configuration of the processing apparatus, or customer's requirements, which thereby allows a prompt adaptation to variety of demands. {Solution to Problem} In combining the master controller and the slave controller, the operation mode is set, and it is made possible to transmit the generated valve opening degree common signal and the generated valve opening degree individual signal from the master controller, corresponding to the operation mode, to the slave controllers that are connected in the sequential daisy-chain style, thereby the slave valves are opening-degree-controlled by any of such generated valve opening degree signals.
REJECTED GAS RECOVERY IN GAS OIL SEPARATION PLANTS
A gas phase is flowed from a first GOSP through a first gas flow pathway to a second gas flow pathway at a first flow pressure. The gas phase from the second gas flow pathway is flowed to a central gas plant at a second flow pressure greater than the first flow pressure. The second gas flow pathway receives a gas phase from a second GOSP. While flowing the gas phase through the first gas flow pathway, a decrease in the first flow pressure below a threshold flow pressure is determined. In response, a gas-gas ejector, fluidically coupled to the first gas flow pathway and the second gas flow pathway, is operated to drive a flow of the gas phase to the central gas plant using the gas phase flowed through the second gas flow pathway at the second flow pressure as a motive gas.
