The present invention relates to a pressure stabilizer (14) comprising a constant pressure chamber (10) to which 3 pipes are attached, namely an outlet pipe (13), located downstream of the pressure stabilizer (14), an inlet pipe (11) and a return pipe (12), both placed upstream of the pressure stabilizer (14). The pressure stabilizer (14) prevents hydraulic shocks, which can potentially damage hydraulic installations. The devices described in the state of the art do not allow to stabilize efficiently spiky pressure fluctuations by means of simple hydraulic systems. The present invention by means of the combined operation of a pressure reducing valve (2) and a relief valve (3), will eliminate the pressure peaks at the inlet of hydraulic installations.

A fluid dispenser system is disclosed herein that is configured to switch between an open position in which fluid flows through a fluid channel and a closed position in which fluid is prevented from flowing through the fluid channel. The fluid dispenser system includes a valve disposed along the fluid channel and configured to move between the open valve position and the closed valve position, a trigger actuatable between an open trigger position and a closed trigger position which move the valve between the open valve position and the closed valve position, a trigger latch configured to move between a latched position in which the trigger latch fixes the trigger in the open trigger position and an unlatched position in which the trigger latch does not constrain movement of the trigger, and a solenoid with a solenoid pin. The solenoid is configured to translate the solenoid pin between an extended position capable of retaining the trigger latch in the latched position and a retracted position that allows the trigger latch to move into the unlatched position.

A fan-shaped air suction spray nozzle automatically adjusting an air suction speed is provided in the present invention, which includes a spray nozzle body and a liquid channel, the spray nozzle body being provided with a liquid channel in communication with a nozzle hole, and further includes a pressure groove and an air intake channel, wherein an inlet section of the liquid channel is in communication with the pressure groove, and the air intake channel is in communication with the liquid channel after penetrating through the pressure groove; an air intake orifice plate is installed in the pressure groove through an elastic damping apparatus, and a change of the pressure at an inlet of the liquid channel causes the air intake orifice plate to move between the pressure groove and the air intake channel; the air intake orifice plate is provided with several through holes of the same or different sizes, which are configured to change the air intake volume in the liquid channel as the air intake orifice plate moves in the pressure groove.

A spray device (A) according to the present disclosure includes: a two-fluid nozzle (11) which sprays a mist (91); a spray-device-side gas flow path (12) for supplying a gas to the two-fluid nozzle (11); a gas supply source (17) which supplies the gas to the spray-device-side gas flow path (12); a spray-device-side liquid flow path (13) for supplying a liquid to the two-fluid nozzle (11); a liquid supply source (18) which supplies the liquid to the spray-device-side liquid flow path (13); a pulse-driven liquid flow control valve (14) having a valve opening degree that is adjusted according to a pulse signal to control the flow rate of the liquid in the spray-device-side liquid flow path (13); and a controller (30) which adjusts, in multiple levels, the concentration of the mist (91) sprayed from the two-fluid nozzle 11 by adjusting the valve opening degree of the liquid flow control valve 14.

Systems and methods for air pressure control in a hot melt liquid dispensing system are described. An example hot melt liquid dispensing system includes a pump that pumps hot melt liquid to an applicator. The hot melt liquid dispensing system also includes an air flow path that supplies pressurized air to the pump and an electronic pressure sensor associated with the air flow path. The hot melt liquid dispensing system also includes a controller that receives an electronic signal from the electronic pressure sensor indicative of an air pressure in the air flow path and causes adjustment to the air pressure in the air flow path based on the electronic signal from the electronic pressure sensor.

An electrostatic sprayer includes a spray gun having a nozzle at which pressurized spray media and pressurized air are combined into an atomized mixture. A generator electrostatically charges the atomized mixture at the nozzle. The generator may also electrostatically charge the pressurized spray media, or the pressurized air, or both at the nozzle. An input device of the spray gun is actuable by a user to vary a flow of the pressurized spray media to the nozzle. A main unit is connected to the spray gun with a hose via which the pressurized spray media and the pressurized air are communicated to the spray gun. The main unit has a first power mode in which a battery powers component(s) of the electrostatic sprayer. The main unit also has a second power mode in which a power source spaced apart from the main unit powers the component(s) of the electrostatic sprayer.

A steam effect nozzle includes a housing section configured to receive a fluid having a mixture of steam and liquid condensate and baffles disposed in the housing section. The baffles are configured to separate the steam of the fluid from the liquid condensate of the fluid, enable the steam to travel from a first end wall of the housing section to a second end wall of the housing section, and bias the liquid condensate of the fluid toward a sloped lower surface of the housing section, the sloped lower surface sloping downwardly from the second end wall toward the first end wall. The steam effect nozzle also includes a nozzle outlet adjacent to the second end wall of the housing section, where the nozzle outlet is configured to output the steam to an external environment.

A method for controlling a system pressure within a closed system includes sending a signal to a pressure control valve corresponding to a pressure set point and actuating the pressure control valve to vary a pilot pressure of a control fluid contained within a pressure control line that is fluidly connected to a pressure regulator. A diaphragm of the pressure regulator is disposed between the pressure control line and a system line and acts on a fluid with the system line to modify the system pressure.

A system for generating and dispensing plural component materials includes a controller operatively connected to dispense valves and return valves. The return valves are in respective open states to allow constituent materials to circulate back to a source and are in respective closed states to block circulation. The dispense valves are in respective open states to allow mixing of the constituent materials to form the plural component material and in respective closed states to prevent generation and dispense. The controller implements a delay between closing the return valves and opening the dispense valves to build pressure in the system prior to generating and dispensing the plural component material.
