The invention relates to a pressure maintaining gas cylinder valve. It consists of a pressure retaining device: The axis of the pressure retaining device and that of the valve element are in the same vertical plane; the pressure retaining device has a mounting base, a spring and a valve are located in the mounting base: the valve is in the valve element near the air outlet; the front section of the valve is near the air outlet, while the rear section of the valve is in the mounting base; the spring is between the valve and the mounting base. Because the invention has no eccentricity, the gas channel is smoother and the volume of the cylinder valve is greatly reduced. The mounting seat of the pressure retaining device not only provides support for the valve and spring, but also ensures that the stroke of the valve element is not interfered.

Techniques for diagnosing failures in a digital solenoid I/P converter are provided herein. A controller of the I/P converter may apply a fixed voltage to an I/P coil of the I/P converter, causing an armature to move from an off-position to an on-position in a properly-functioning I/P converter. The controller may receive an indication of whether a digital logic line trip has occurred, indicating that a current for the I/P coil has reached a desired maximum current level. The controller may remove the fixed voltage applied to the I/P coil when the maximum current level is reached or when a threshold period of time has elapsed from the application of the fixed voltage to the I/P coil. The controller may diagnose, based on whether the digital logic line trip occurred prior to removing the fixed voltage, a failure in the I/P converter.

A fitting with a body bound by an exterior surface and an interior surface. The exterior surface includes a quick disconnect profile extending from a first end of the body and an external thread extending from a second end of the body. The interior surface includes a first bore extending from the first end of the body and a second bore extending from the second end of the body. The fitting includes an orifice formed by the first bore, between a pin and the first bore, or between the pin and a third bore of an adjustment member installed within the first bore.

A valve includes at least one valve stem seal, such as a packing seal, that is included in a removable seal cartridge. The valve stem is connected to the actuator via a linkage, which can be removed to provide a linkage gap between the actuator and the valve stem. The seal cartridge can then be slid along the valve stem into the linkage gap and laterally removed from the valve, whereupon the seals within the seal cartridge can be refurbished. The valve can be a rotary or linear valve. In embodiments, the linkage gap can be increased by linear displacement of the actuator away from the valve stem. The seal cartridge can be re-installed in the valve after refurbishment, or a substantially identical replacement seal cartridge can be provided, and can be installed in the valve in replacement of the removed seal cartridge, thereby minimizing downtime of the valve.

An electronic expansion valve comprises: a valve body, the valve body comprising a main body section, an extension section, and a step section, wherein a valve seat core being in a tubular shape and having openings at two ends, wherein the valve seat core comprises a tubular body and a limiting step formed at one end of the tubular body, the tubular body penetrates through the extension section, the limiting step abuts against the inner wall of the step section, and one end of the tubular body away from the limiting step extends out of the extension section; and an air outlet pipe, which is sleeved in the extension section and abuts against an outer wall of the step section, a groove is defined by an inner wall of the air outlet pipe, the extension section, and an outer wall of the tubular body in a surrounding mode.

Embodiments include a choke system that passes enlarged debris despite having a relatively small diameter for an input port of the choke system. Embodiments also include systems to prevent dislodging of a choke seat when backpressure is supplied to the choke system. Embodiments also include sealing systems to prevent fluid leaks around the choke seat of the choke system.

A charge valve assembly for an air conditioning system includes a valve housing having a first end, a second end, and an inner surface defining a cavity. A valve core assembly is received in the cavity of the valve housing through the second end of the valve housing. The valve core assembly has a first end, a second end, a flow channel extending from the first end of the valve core assembly to the second end of the valve core assembly, an inner sealing surface, and a pin slideably received in the flow channel between an open position and a closed position. The pin has a primary seal selectively engaging the inner sealing surface of the valve core assembly and closing the flow channel at the second end of the valve core assembly when in the closed position. The pin biases towards the first end of the valve housing.

A valve with removable components is provided. The valve includes a housing in which a seat is arranged between a flow inlet and a flow outlet. A shut-off body displaceable by a displacing element is arranged to shut off flow through the seat. The shut-off body displacing element is surrounded at least partially by a guide sleeve which is connected to the seat in a manner which allows the seat to be removed with the guide sleeve, shut-off body and shut-off body displacing element.

An electrically actuated valve is provided. The electrically actuated valve includes a valve housing comprising a valve chamber and a first and second port in fluidic communication with the valve chamber. The electrically actuated valve further comprises a valve sealing component including a cap sealing section adjacent to an opening in the valve housing and a valve seat arranged within the valve chamber between the first port and the second port and a plunger configured to couple to a solenoid piston and including a proximal seal configured to selectively sealingly interface with the valve seat.
