A piston pump for pumping a pressure medium in an electronically slip-controllable vehicle brake system includes a pressure-medium control valve configured to control a throughflow direction in a pressure medium circuit. The pressure-medium control valve has a valve housing, a valve seat, and a valve-closing body that is received in the valve housing in an axially movable and radially guided manner. The valve-closing body is configured to control the valve seat according to the prevailing pressure ratios upstream and downstream of the valve seat. The valve seat is configured as a single component with the valve housing. The pressure-medium control valve is produced by forming in a compact and cost-effective manner. The pressure-medium control valve operates quietly and is configured to be used alternatively as an independent unit that is configured to be tested prior to use.

A clamp comprising a first contact surface perpendicular to a central axis of the clamp and a second contact surface tapered relative to a central axis of the clamp, whereby the clamp allows for concentric or non-concentric mating between a first component and a second component such that, when rigidly held together by the clamp such that the first contact surface of the clamp contacts a portion of the first component and the second contact surface of the clamp contacts a portion of the second component, a central axis of the first component is parallel to or coincident with a central axis of the second component.

A capacity control valve includes: a valve body (10) having first communication passages (11), second communication passages (12), third communication passages (13), and a main valve seat (15a); a valve element (20) having an intermediate communication passage (29), a main valve portion (21c) and an auxiliary valve portion (23d); a pressure-sensitive element (24) disposed in the valve body (10); a solenoid (30) that drives a rod (36); a first biasing member (43) that biases in a valve closing direction of the main valve portion (21c); and a second biasing member (44) that biases in a valve opening direction of the main valve portion (21c), wherein the rod (36) moves relative to the valve element (20) to press the pressure-sensitive element (24). The capacity control valve can efficiently discharge a liquid refrigerant and can decrease a driving force of a compressor during a liquid refrigerant discharge operation.

An infusion pump is disclosed. The infusion pump comprises a chamber having a distal end and a proximal end, and a longitudinal axis between the proximal end and the distal end. A piston is arranged for reciprocating movement within the chamber and along the longitudinal axis. At least one outlet is arranged from the chamber and may comprise an outlet valve. At least one inlet is provided into the chamber. The outlet and the inlet are axially spaced apart along the longitudinal axis of the chamber. A method for operating the pump is also provided.

A reciprocating compressor includes a compressor cylinder defining a cylinder wall, a valve bore formed in the cylinder wall, and a compressor valve assembly arranged in the compressor cylinder. The compressor valve assembly includes a valve liner having a liner body and a liner flange disposed at an end of the liner body. The liner body is disposed in the valve bore. The liner flange is positioned in contact with the compressor cylinder. A valve seat is coupled to an inner surface of the liner body. The valve seat has a seating surface formed at an end of the valve seat. A compressor valve is positioned on the seating surface of the valve seat. A valve cage is positioned on the compressor valve. A valve cover is coupled to the valve cage to apply a bias force to retain the compressor valve on the seating surface of the valve seat.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a capacity control valve with which it is possible to efficiently discharge a liquid refrigerant irrespective of the pressure of a suction chamber. A capacity control valve (1) includes: a valve main body (10) having a first communication passage (11), a second communication passage (12), a third communication passage (13), and a main valve seat (15a); a valve body (20) having an intermediate communication passage (26), a main valve part (21b), and an auxiliary valve part (23d); and a solenoid (30) equipped with a first plunger (34) having a first rod (33), and a second plunger (35) having a second rod (36), the first rod (33) opens and closes the main valve part (21b), and the second rod (36) opens and closes the auxiliary valve part (23d).

A valve assembly for use in a fracturing pump including a valve member movable into and out of engagement with a valve seat body. The valve seat body includes an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface forming a fluid bore extending between a first end and a second end of the valve seat body. The body further includes a seating surface extending radially from the inner surface and facing the valve member, the seating surface having a recessed area. An insert is disposed in the recessed area forming at least a portion of the inner surface and at least portion of the seating surface. The valve seat body first end has a diameter different from a diameter valve seat body second. The difference between diameters allows the valve seat body outer surface to be supported by the fluid passageway.

A capacity control valve includes: a valve body having first communication passages, second communication passages, third communication passages, and a main valve seat; a valve element having an intermediate communication passage, a main valve portion and an auxiliary valve portion; a pressure-sensitive element disposed in the valve body; a solenoid that drives a rod; a first biasing member that biases in a valve closing direction of the main valve portion; and a second biasing member that biases in a valve opening direction of the main valve portion, wherein the rod moves relative to the valve element to press the pressure-sensitive element.
