Fluid valves with an anti-stagnation trim guide are disclosed herein. An example valve includes a valve body including a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a fluid passageway extending between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, a plug disposed in the fluid passageway, and a trim guide positioned between the plug and the valve body, the trim guide including at least one balance passageway, the balance passageway to guide trapped process fluid to enter or exit an area between the plug and a bonnet of the valve during movement of the plug.

The technology generally relates to tailoring a back pressure regulator in a chromatographic system to reduce unswept volume within the back pressure regulator to achieve better sample detection and a reduction in chromatographic band distortion effects.

A valve is provided, the valve including a housing; and a valve element, the housing comprising a cylindrical bore defining an axial direction and an annular shoulder extending into the cylindrical bore, wherein the valve element is axially moveable within the cylindrical bore so as to move the valve element between a closed position in which the valve element engages with the annular shoulder and an open position in which the valve element is spaced from the annular shoulder, wherein, in the open position, fluid flowing into the valve in a first axial direction may flow through one or more apertures provided in the valve element and through the valve, wherein the valve element and the annular shoulder are configured to be in continuous contact along an annular contact surface when in the closed position so as to seal against fluid flow through the valve.

A one-way valve is provided. The one-way valve may be, for example, a check valve, a relief valve, or the like, which may be in the form of a poppet valve. The valve provides a housing with a through hole. The through hole has an upstream portion and a downstream portion. The upstream portion has a reduced diameter compared to the downstream portion. The housing contains a valve seat, which typically has a taper. A poppet, or valve member, moves within the through hole from a valve closed position and a valve open position. The poppet has a high pressure facing side and a low pressure facing side opposite the high pressure facing side. The low pressure facing side of the poppet engages an elastic member of a compression member that biases the poppet in the valve closed position. The high pressure facing side of the poppet engages a resilient metal seal in the form of an annular disc. The annular disc has a generally wavy or undulating shape. The outer ends of the resilient metal seal have a curve or arc shape and provide a seat interface that releasably engages the valve seat.

The present invention discloses a fluid control structure of a dispensing apparatus, comprising: a dispensing unit, a fluid supply unit, and a control unit. The present invention is characterized by its dispensing apparatus which includes a needle head, a thimble, and a valve body, wherein the valve body is provided with an accommodating space for accommodating the needle head and the thimble. The needle head is being formed a hollow space, and the space is tapered towards the direction of a nozzle, the nozzle disposed at one end of the needle head; the thimble is moved up and down along the valve body, having the same tapered as the inner diameter of the needle head. The fluid control structure of the dispensing apparatus of the present invention is to solve the shortcoming of prior art that the residual pressure in the dispensing process cause the fluid being dropped or leaked on the dispensing surface.

A high pressure fluid control device includes a valve body defining an inlet, an outlet, and a throat disposed between the inlet and the outlet. The valve body defines a longitudinal axis. A valve seat is disposed in the throat and includes a sloped surface. A seat support is disposed in the throat and is adjacent to the valve seat. The seat support includes a sloped surface adjacent to the sloped surface of the valve seat. A control element is disposed in the valve body and includes a stem and a seating surface. The control element is movable between an open position, in which the seating surface is spaced away from the valve seat, and a closed position, in which the seating surface engages the valve seat. The sloped surface of the seat support provides a rigid support to the valve seat to resist deformation of the valve seat.

Valves, internal combustion engines including such valves, and methods of on-board diagnostic leak detection for a crankcase ventilation system using such valves are disclosed. Each valve has a housing defining a first port and a second port in fluid communication with one another and defining a valve seat therebetween. A biasing member biases a poppet sealing member into a normally open position (defining unrestricted flow through the valve) and a commanded actuator is connected to the poppet sealing member. The poppet sealing member has an orifice therethrough defining a restricted flow path, and, upon command, the commanded actuator moves the poppet sealing member from the open position to a restricted flow position in which the poppet sealing member is seated against the valve seat for restricted flow thorough the orifice in the poppet sealing member.
