VALVE FOR A CLEAN IN PLACE SYSTEM
20200070216 · 2020-03-05 ·

A valve for a clean in place system is described. The valve includes an inlet portion, an outlet portion including a first outlet and a second outlet, and a flow diverter positioned between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The flow diverter includes a planar portion sized to extend across the first and second outlets, and a cylindrical portion defining an opening. The valve also includes a first seal between the inlet portion and the outlet portion, and an actuator for moving the flow diverter between a first position to form a first flow path in which the inlet is fluidly connected to the first outlet, and a second position to form a second flow path in which the inlet is fluidly connected to the second outlet. The valve includes multiple seals fluidly connected to the flow path to enable the valve to be cleaned in place.

Integrated manifold and valve assembly

An integrated valve and manifold assembly includes a water valve configured to control water flow from one or two valve outlets. At least one of the outlets is coupled to a manifold. In some examples, the manifold is a dual-extrusion manifold having at least one air channel and at least one water conduit, and the water valve has a pair of air channels attached to a periphery of the water valve and configured to couple to the manifold air channels. In examples wherein at least one of the manifolds is a dual-extrusion manifold, a top portion of the assembly includes an air valve configured to control flow of air to air channel(s) of the dual-extrusion manifold. In other examples, the assembly includes a one-outlet or two-outlet water valve configured to couple to water manifolds, with no attached air channels or air valves.

Valve and method of making and using the same

A valve including a valve body including an inlet opening and a plurality of outlet openings; and an actuating gate adapted to seal at least one of the plurality of outlet openings, where the actuating gate is adapted to rotate eccentrically about a central axis while also translating in a direction perpendicular to the central axis upon actuation.

Enhanced motor cooling system and method

An Environmental Control System (ECS) for an aircraft includes a ram air system having a ram inlet and a ram outlet. The ECS includes a cabin air compressor motor, a diverter valve, and a dedicated outlet. The cabin air compressor motor has a motor inlet passage and a motor outlet passage with the motor inlet passage being coupled to the ram inlet. The diverter valve includes a first diverter inlet, a first diverter outlet, and a second diverter outlet. The first diverter inlet is coupled to the motor outlet passage. The dedicated outlet is connected to the first diverter outlet in a flight mode of operation of the aircraft and the ram outlet is connected to the second diverter outlet in a ground mode of operation of the aircraft.
