A fluid distribution manifold may receive a first required flow rate for a first flow of fluid that flows to a fluid handling device or a reservoir. A first operation state may be determined for a first valve assembly that regulates the first flow, the manifold may operate the first valve assembly based on the first operation state, and a first position tracker may be incremented based on the first operation. Based on a value of a cycle tracker, the manifold may identify a second valve assembly in an operation cycle and access a second control input that includes a second required flow rate for a second flow of fluid regulated by the second valve assembly. The manifold may cause the second valve assembly to operate based on at least one of a second operation state and a change in the second actual flow rate resulting from the first operation.

An outlet valve includes a valve body, a solenoid valve, and a manual operating member. The valve body includes a water inlet, a water outlet, a water storage cavity, a drain waterway, a first waterway, a second waterway, and a waterproof membrane. The first waterway is coupled to the drain waterway through a first drain opening. The second waterway is coupled to the drain waterway through a second drain opening. The waterproof membrane is configured to separate the water outlet cavity from the water storage cavity. The first waterway comprises a first plug coupled to an output end of the solenoid valve. The first plug is configured to control the opening and closing of the first drain opening. The second waterway comprises a second plug coupled to the manual operating member. The second plug is configured to control the opening and closing of the second drain opening.

A valve control is configured for use with control valves and other flow controls. The valve control leverages a simplified structure to avoid problems with manufacture and reduce costs. This structure includes a support unit that compresses parts of a valve housing together. Inside of the valve housing, the structure incorporates diaphragms that cause a pair of balanced valves to move in response to changes in pressure of fluid in a conduit. For industrial application, the valve control finds use to maintain pressure of natural gas in pipelines downstream from a control valve.

A valved manifold module is disclosed, constructed and arranged to be readily connected in a chain with similar modules to form a manifold assembly. The modular manifolds allows for expansion or modification of the manifold assembly to control a group of pneumatically or hydraulically driven pumps, valves or combinations thereof in a liquid flow control apparatus. The valved manifold module can be configured to accept a group of four substantially identical valve assemblies, and can be controlled by a local controller mounted to the manifold module, thus forming an independently programmable valved manifold module. The resulting modular system is expandable to allow for coordinated operations of a liquid flow control system, using substantially independent controller functions originating at the manifold assembly level.

The invention relates to a 3-port valve for passing fluids therethrough, having a valve body, a port, a first sub-port and a second sub-port, with the port being adjoined by a main line which ends in a connecting region, said first sub-port having a first sub-port line that is connected to the connecting region, said second sub-port having a second sub-port line that is connected to the connecting region, with at least one valve member being arranged in the connecting region, which valve member can be displaced along a valve member axis between an opening position and a closed position thereof in the connecting region, so that, in a first valve position, the port is fluidically connected to the first sub-port, in a second valve position, the port is fluidically connected to the second sub-port, in a third valve position, the port is fluidically connected to both the first and second sub-ports, in a fourth valve position, the port is fluidically connected neither to the first sub-port nor to the second sub-port. The invention is characterized in that the valve body is formed from a high-tempered steel, or other suitable material, with the valve body being produced from a solid ingot and with the connecting region, the main port, the first sub-port line and the second sub-port line having been machined into the steel ingot. Heat transfer medium lines for passing a HTM therethrough are also machined into the same valve body to regulate the temperature of the fluid. Simultaneously or alternatively, electric heating cartridge receptacles may be machined into the valve body ingot.

A valve includes a set screw that is screwable into and out of a complementary female threaded opening in a valve part for changing a setting of the valve, for changing an adjustable flow restriction of the valve, in which the set screw includes a free outer end that projects outside the valve part, and a gripping part on its free outer end for a tool to be engageable thereupon. The free outer end of the set screw includes a male thread onto which a locking nut is screwed. A protective cap is provided for covering the free outer end, that includes a first cap portion with a rotation space for fitting freely rotatable over the locking nut, and a second cap portion with a complementary female thread that is screwed onto the male thread towards a locked position.

The invention relates to an electromagnetic valve device having an armature (18) which is moveable in an axial direction in a valve housing (10) in response to energizing of a stationary coil (12), and which is designed to interact with a first valve seat (22) associated with a fluid inlet connection (26) of the valve housing, a first fluid flow path (36) being formed in the valve housing such that fluid flowing through the opened first valve seat can flow in order to actuate a plunger (32) moveable relative to the armature (18) and to which a preloading force is applied, the actuation causing a second valve seat (43) interacting with the plunger (32) to be opened to produce a fluid connection to a fluid working connection (42) of the valve housing, and the valve housing having a fastening structure (44, 46) in the form of at least one hole extending at an angle to the axial direction, the fluid inlet connection (26) and the working connection (42) being formed on the same axial side of the valve housing in relation to the structure means.

A valve block includes a fluid-transfer plate with multiple inlet bores connecting to a common inlet channel, and multiple outlet bores connecting to a common outlet channel. The inlet bores and the outlet bores are arranged in a curved shape. The valve block also includes a pressure plate and diaphragm aligned and connected to the fluid-transfer plate in a way that allows pressurized material in the pressure plate to control the state of the channels formed by the inlet and outlet bores.

A multi-fuel switching device, including a gas part, is provided. The gas part includes a switching valve. The switching valve includes a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet. An internal rotation of the housing is provided with a valve core located between the air inlet and the air outlet. The valve core is provided with a first airway and a second airway. Cross-sectional sizes of the first airway and the second airway are different. The first airway or the second airway is selected through rotating the valve core to connect the air inlet and the air outlet. The solution solves the issue that a fuel switching device in the prior art cannot adapt to three or more fuels, which causes an internal combustion engine to be unable to maintain the optimal working state.

A housing assembly for a manifold includes a first housing with an inlet and a plurality of outlets, a second housing, and a valve retainer engaged with the first and second housings. The valve retainer includes a retention plate defined between first and second surfaces, a plurality of slot walls extending from the first surface, and a protruding edge that extends from a flanged lip and surrounds the plurality of slot walls. The retention plate defines a plurality of slots corresponding to the plurality of slot walls. The first housing may define a groove that receives the protruding edge, and the second housing may include a rim that engages the flanged lip of the valve retainer. Valve housings including first and second mating structures separated by wall segments may be positioned in outlets of the first housing and corresponding slots of the valve retainer.
