An example valve includes: a first port, a second port, and a load-sense port; a valve piston configured to block fluid flow from the first port to the second port when the valve piston is in a neutral position; a reverse flow spring applying a first biasing force on the valve piston in a proximal direction; and a pressure compensation spring disposed in a spring chamber and applying a second biasing force on the valve piston in a distal direction, wherein when pressure level of fluid at the second port is higher than pressure level of fluid at the load-sense port, fluid flows from the second port to the spring chamber and the load-sense port, and wherein when pressure level of fluid at the load-sense port is higher than pressure level of fluid at the second port, fluid of the load-sense port is provided to the spring chamber.

A multi-chamber blowoff valve is provided for releasing excess air pressure from a duct system associated with a vehicle. The blowoff valve has a valve housing, an engine-air interface, and a multiple piston assembly. The valve housing is configured to secure to the duct system at a duct-air interface. The engine-air interface is configured to allow air in and out of the valve housing. The multiple piston assembly is disposed within the valve housing and includes an upper piston and a lower piston that move in unison. The multiple piston assembly is configured to be in a closed position while a pressure differential is above a certain threshold and to be in an open position while the pressure differential is below said certain threshold. While in the open position, a portion of the air in the duct system is released.

An inlet port provides a fluid entrance to a body. A chamber has an inner surface. An outlet port is in fluid communication with the chamber and provides a fluid exit from the body. The piston is moveable within the chamber between a first set position, in which the inlet port is not in fluid communication with the outlet port, and a second open position, in which the inlet port is in fluid communication with the outlet port through the chamber. A seal guard is slidably disposed within the chamber. The seal guard is moveable between a first seal-guard position and a second seal-guard position in which the seal guard shields the seal. The seal guard is in the first seal-guard position when the piston is in its first set position and in the second seal-guard position when the piston is in its second open position.

A system for detecting safe operating conditions and maintained integrity in a Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) the valve comprising an inlet, an outlet, a valve disc controlling fluid flow between the inlet and outlet, a stem connected to the valve disc, a spring washer, and a spring in communication with the valve disc and the spring washer, a vibration sensor which detects vibration in the valve disc, an inlet pressure sensor which detects the static pressure in the inlet, a position sensor which detects the position of the valve disc transferred through the stem, a compression load cell sensor which detects the dynamic force applied on the valve spring washer by the spring, an outlet pressure sensor which detects the pressure in the outlet, a separate shock sensor adapted to determine if the PSV has popped and then activate a microcontroller.

A flow control device includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet and a flow conduit disposed in the housing. The inlet, the flow conduit, and the outlet define a flow passage. A valve seat is disposed in the housing downstream of the inlet, and a shuttle is movably disposed in the housing and displaceable between a closed position engaging the valve seat to close the flow passage and an open position spaced from the valve seat to open the flow passage. A sealed chamber is defined between the housing and the flow conduit. A port coupled with a source of pressurized fluid communicates with the sealed chamber, where the shuttle is displaceable between the closed position and the open position based on a pressure in the sealed chamber. The threshold water pressure for displacing the flow conduit may be adjustable by modifying the pressure in the sealed chamber.

The invention relates to a crusher, in particular a rotary impact crusher, cone crusher or jaw crusher, having a crusher unit (10), which has a movable first crusher body (11), in particular a rotor or a crusher jaw, wherein a second crusher body (14), in particular an impact rocker or a crusher jaw, is assigned to the first crusher body (11), wherein a crushing gap (15) is formed between the crusher bodies (11, 14), wherein an overload triggering device (30) is coupled to the first crusher body or to the second crusher body, which overload triggering device has a hydraulic cylinder (20) and which overload triggering device is designed to permit a motion of the coupled crusher body (11, 14) increasing the width of the crushing gap (15), wherein the hydraulic cylinder (20) has a pressure chamber (24), which is delimited by means of a piston (23), and wherein the overload triggering device (30) has a pressure valve (31) which, in its open position, establishes a fluid-conveying connection between the pressure chamber (24) and a low-pressure area and, in the closed valve position, blocks this connection.

A fuel valve device and a method of controlling fuel flow between a fuel tank and an engine are disclosed. A fuel valve comprises an inlet conduit including an inlet end connectable to a fuel tank and a central axis, an outlet conduit including an outlet end opposite the inlet end connectable to an engine. The outlet conduit has a central axis offset from the inlet conduit central axis. A movable valve ball is configured to block fuel flow from the inlet end to the outlet end at a predetermined pressure and to permit the fuel flow from the inlet end to the outlet end when pressure in the fuel valve device exceeds the predetermined pressure, movable along a travel axis defining an angle with the inlet conduit central axis that is greater than 5 degrees and less than 90 degrees.

The present disclosure generally relates to a flapper valve including a pressure relief assembly. The pressure relief assembly is operable to activate when a pressure differential across the flapper approaches or exceeds a design pressure of the flapper.
