Valve system
A valve system comprising a valve chamber at a junction of an inlet port, an outlet port and a bypass port, the inlet port configured for fluid communication with exhaust gas, the outlet port configured for fluid communication with an inlet of a turbine, and the bypass port configured for fluid communication with an exhaust aftertreatment device; a rotary valve comprising a valve rotor which rotates about a valve axis within the valve chamber between a first position to permit gas flow through the bypass port and a second position to block gas flow. At least one of the valve rotor and the valve chamber comprises a protrusion and the other comprises a recess, wherein, in the first position, the protrusion and recess are spaced from one another, and, in the second position the recess receives the protrusion such that gas flow between the protrusion and recess is substantially prevented.
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 assembly for an active clearance control system
A valve assembly for an active clearance control (ACC) system in a gas turbine engine. The assembly comprises a first valve disc positioned within a first outlet duct, a second valve disc positioned within the second outlet duct, and a shaft coupled to the first and second valve discs such that rotation of the shaft rotates both the first and second valve discs within the first and second outlet ducts, respectively. A flow control member in the second outlet duct surrounds the second valve disc, and is configured to restrict fluid flow passing through the second outlet duct to a greater extent than the fluid flow passing through the first outlet duct for a given degree of rotation of the first and second valve discs. A corresponding ACC system, gas turbine and method is also provided.
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE SYSTEM
A first intake manifold is connected to a first group of cylinders, a second distinct intake manifold is connected to a second group of cylinders and a first, respectively a second, exhaust manifold for receiving the exhaust gas emitted from the first, respectively the second, group of cylinders. An EGR line is connected to the first and second exhaust manifolds. A mixing unit includes a four-way valve having a first inlet connected to an air line, a second inlet connected to the EGR line, a first outlet connected to the first intake manifold and a second outlet connected to the second intake manifold. The first inlet is connected to the air line, the second inlet is connected to the EGR line. The first outlet and said second outlet form a substantially X-shape. The first inlet and said second inlet are coaxial. The first outlet and second outlet are coaxial such that the first inlet is diagonally facing the second inlet and the first outlet is diagonally facing the second outlet.
Exhaust gate
An exhaust gate, in particular for a heavy-goods vehicle, has a housing, which has an inlet and first and second outlets, on which first and second valve seats are formed, and a valve flap, which can be pivoted between the two valve seats to close the first or second outlet. The housing is formed as a cast part, which connects the inlet and at least the first outlet integrally to each other. The valve flap has a larger cross section than the inlet and the first and second valve seats.
INDEXING VALVE FOR REGENERATIVE THERMAL OXIDIZER
An indexing valve for a regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO). A valve housing includes a diverter assembly further comprising: a pipe shaft, the pipe shaft disposed through the valve housing; a diverter blade subassembly connected to the pipe shaft between the pipe shaft ends for rotating within the valve housing, the rotation of which is supported by a bearing assembly at the base; the diverter blade subassembly further comprising a pair of opposing diverter plates, each of the diverter plates curved, wherein a large-volume inlet plenum is defined between the diverter plates for receiving fluid flow from one of the ports. To aid in sealing, the corner section ends within the housing extend beyond a width of each corner and are chamfered to limit wear of the seal. Fluid flow is either atmospheric pressure or negative pressure relative to said valve housing to further aid in sealing.
Device for regulating the flow of a fluid
A device for regulating the flow of a fluid comprises a valve housing having at least two valve ports, at least one valve seat, a valve member having a closing body, and an actuating unit for actuating the closing body. The valve member further comprises an actuation section, which is connected via at least one connecting web to the closing body for moving the closing body. A surrounding seal extends between the closing body and the actuation section, and separates the closing body and the actuation section from one another. The at least one connecting web is arranged such that the closing body is pivotable upon actuation of the actuation section by the actuating unit to move the valve member and thus the closing body relative to the at least one valve seat. The valve member is arranged to minimize, during the movement of the closing body, deformations in a passage area of the seal through which the at least one connecting web extends. A valve arrangement is provided with a respective device for regulating the flow of a fluid.
BUTTERFLY VALVE
A butterfly valve includes a valve element that turns with a shaft to control open/closed states of a passage or adjust an opening degree of the passage. The valve element includes a plate and an elastic member provided along an outer circumference of the plate. The elastic member has seal parts that touch and leave an inner surface of the passage to close and open the passage. The plate has specific shapes on both sides with respect to an axis of the shaft, the specific shapes narrowing gaps between the plate and the inner surface on lower-pressure sides of seal centers of the seal parts in a valve closed state.
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.
Valve device
A recess 22 provided in a passage block 20; a diaphragm covering the recess 22 to form a valve chest 21 in which a fluid flows; an inflow port 23 opened at the recess 22 and allowing the fluid to flow into the valve chest 21; an NC outflow port 24 and an NO outflow port 25 opened at the recess 22 and allowing the fluid to flow out from the valve chest 21; by oscillating the diaphragm, the diaphragm is closely fitted to any one of a first valve seat 24b formed by an opening 24a of the NC outflow port 24 and a second valve seat 25b formed by an opening 25a of the second outflow port 25, to allow the fluid in the valve chest 21 to flow out from the other outflow port. The recess 22 has a first inclined portion 81 and a second inclined portion 82 having a depth gradually increasing from the first valve seat 24b and the second valve seat 25b toward the inflow opening 23.
