LOW PARTICLE PROTECTED FLAPPER VALVE
Embodiments of the disclosure generally relate to a flapper valve. The flapper valve may be used with processing chambers, such as semiconductor substrate processing chambers. In one embodiment, a flapper valve includes a housing having a first opening at a first end thereof and a second opening at a second end thereof, a first flapper pivotably disposed in the housing, and a second flapper pivotably disposed in the housing. The first and second flappers are movable to selectively open and close at least one of the first opening and the second opening.
Flow-rate dynamic balancing control valve
A flow control valve includes a valve body with inlet and outlet ports, and an intermediate chamber therebetween. The valve further includes a static flow rate regulator for the fluid, accessible from outside the valve body and adapted to vary the cross-section of a passage orifice between the inlet and the outlet of the valve. The valve further includes a dynamic flow rate balancer, regulating flow rate based on a change of the incoming flow rate. The flow rate balancer includes a perforated element interposed between the inlet port and the intermediate chamber, allowing fluid passage only through at least one opening of the perforated element and an elastic element at one face of the perforated element facing the inlet port of the fluid into the valve body. An increase in the inlet/outlet differential pressure corresponds to an enlargement of the elastic element, guaranteeing a constant flow rate.
Valve assembly for a central tire inflation system
A valve assembly for a central tire inflation system is provided. The valve assembly includes a first housing having a first port connected to a second port via a cavity. The second port is in fluid communication with a wheel assembly. A biasing member is disposed in the cavity adjacent a first perforation formed in the first housing. A valve member is contacted by the biasing member. The valve member includes a first frustoconical portion having a continuous outer surface connected to a second portion having a continuous outer surface, a first end connected to the second portion and a second end connected to the first frustoconical portion wherein the continuous outer surfaces of the first frustoconical portion and the second portion allow a pressurized fluid to flow between the housing and the outer surfaces of the valve member.
SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE OF A GAS
A system for adjusting pressure of a gas includes: a first shutter unit for causing a pressure drop in the gas, from a supply pressure to a delivery pressure; a pilot unit for providing a pilot pressure depending on the difference between the delivery pressure and a predefined setting pressure; a first drive unit operated by the pilot pressure to reduce the opening of the first shutter unit when the delivery pressure exceeds the setting pressure, and vice versa; a second shutter unit in series with the first shutter unit can assume a closed configuration; a second drive unit operated by the pilot pressure to reduce the opening of the second shutter unit when the delivery pressure exceeds the setting pressure, and vice versa. When the first shutter unit is open the opening of the second shutter unit causes a pressure drop smaller than the pressure drop by the first shutter unit.
FLOW-RATE DYNAMIC BALANCING CONTROL VALVE
A flow control valve includes a valve body with inlet and outlet ports, and an intermediate chamber therebetween. The valve further includes a static flow rate regulator for the fluid, accessible from outside the valve body and adapted to vary the cross-section of a passage orifice between the inlet and the outlet of the valve. The valve further includes a dynamic flow rate balancer, regulating flow rate based on a change of the incoming flow rate. The flow rate balancer includes a perforated element interposed between the inlet port and the intermediate chamber, allowing fluid passage only through at least one opening of the perforated element and an elastic element at one face of the perforated element facing the inlet port of the fluid into the valve body. An increase in the inlet/outlet differential pressure corresponds to an enlargement of the elastic element, guaranteeing a constant flow rate.
Ball valve
The disclosed embodiments include ball valves having integrated seats. The integrated seats are included in a ball body assembly of a valve body. The ball body assembly may rotate with respect to the valve body to open or close the valve. The integrated seats may contact walls of a bore to sealingly close the valve.
Solenoid valve
A first valve chamber, which receives a valve assembly of a tank closing solenoid valve, and a second valve chamber, which receives a valve assembly of a pressure responsive valve, are formed between a first flow passage and a second flow passage of a first housing by fitting a second peripheral wall of a second housing into a radially inner side of a first peripheral wall of the first housing. Thereby, it is not required to heat-weld and bond between a connecting end surface of the first housing and a connecting end surface of the second housing.
BALL VALVE
The disclosed embodiments include ball valves having integrated seats. The integrated seats are included in a ball body assembly of a valve body. The ball body assembly may rotate with respect to the valve body to open or close the valve. The integrated seats may contact walls of a bore to sealingly close the valve.
In line flow control components and systems
An in-line flow control component includes a body having an inlet and an outlet that are substantially coaxial with a tube extending through the body. The tube forms a flow path between the inlet and the outlet, and one end of the tube sealingly engages a valve seat for controlling fluid flow between the inlet and outlet. First and second diaphragms each have an opening sealingly secured about an outer periphery of the tube and an outer peripheral portion sealed to the body. The diaphragms selectively move the tube between open and closed positions in response to force acting on the diaphragms. The force is provided by either a mechanical mechanism (toggle, wedge member, threaded adjustment knob, etc.) or fluid pressure introduced between the diaphragms. The diaphragms may be similarly or differently dimensioned. Plural flow control components may be assembled in end-to-end sealed relationship.
