A pressure relief valve assembly includes a carrier, a valve, and a baffle. The carrier includes a first end and a second end. The first end defines a first opening. The second end defines a second opening. The carrier defines a flow passage extending from the first opening to the second opening. The valve is supported by the carrier and is operable in an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the valve permits a flow of fluid through the first opening. In the closed position, the valve inhibits the flow of fluid through the first opening. The baffle is disposed in the flow passage. The baffle and the carrier collectively define a flowpath extending through the flow passage.

A flow control assembly for subsea applications comprises a valve assembly and a damper assembly configured to control fluid flow between an external region and the valve assembly. The damper assembly comprises a damper housing, a damper flowpath extending between the inlet and the outlet of the damper housing, and a flow restrictor apparatus disposed in the damper flowpath to control a damper coefficient of the damper assembly.

A valve device includes a valve body that forms a throttle cross section and a valve element that sets the throttle cross section depending on the pressure. To avoid pulsation-induced noises, the valve element is configured with a flow-deflecting member that causes action upon the valve element with a transverse force. The flow-deflecting member prevents noise-causing vibrations of the valve element and permits a lower throttling effect of the valve device, in particular when volumetric flows are increased. A damping device, in particular for damping pressure pulsations in a brake circuit of a slip-controllable vehicle brake system, includes the valve device.

Fluid damped check valves are described herein. A representative check valve includes a piston assembly movably positioned within a housing. The housing can include a flow chamber, a damping chamber containing a damping fluid, and a leak chamber fluidly coupled between the flow chamber and the damping chamber. The piston assembly can include a poppet positioned in the flow chamber, and a flange positioned in the damping chamber. In operation, the piston assembly is movable between (i) a closed position in which the poppet sealingly engages the housing to at least inhibit fluid flow through the flow chamber and (ii) an open position in which the poppet disengages from the housing and permits fluid flow through the flow chamber. When the piston assembly moves between the open and closed positions, the flange moves through the damping fluid in the damping chamber to slow the movement of the poppet.
