An aseptic closure system for attaching to a container including an upper section and a lower section that are removably attached to one another. Each section includes a valve housing with a rotary valve mounted in a bore extending through the valve housing. The upper section has an inlet port and an outlet port, each with a conduit providing fluid communication through the port to an interior of the upper valve housing. The lower section is adapted to mount to a container. The lower valve housing includes two conduits that permit fluid communication through the lower valve housing to an interior of the lower section. The rotation of the rotary valves closes off flow through the conduits in the respective housings.

A sprinkler configured for engagement with a coupling, the sprinkler includes a raised lip end, the sprinkler defining a raised lip at the raised lip end; and a deflector end disposed opposite from the raised lip end, the sprinkler defining a groove between the raised lip and the deflector end.

A rotary valve is provided including a housing with an inner chamber having a first inlet, a first outlet, a second inlet, and a second outlet. A valve body is rotatably positioned in the housing. The valve body includes at least one isolated fluid pathway that, depending upon a rotational position of the valve body, provides at least one of a direct connection of one or more of the inlets to one or more of the outlets, or permits flow from at least an other one of the inlets or the outlets that are not in the direct connection created by the at least one isolated fluid pathway into or from the inner chamber. At least one actuator controls the position of the valve body.

A multi-fitting rotatable fluid connection apparatus comprising a fluid entry fitting and first and second fluid discharge fittings. The fluid entry fitting comprises a first end connector threaded for attachment to a fluid source, and first and second distribution connectors. The first fluid discharge fitting has a first intake connector which receives fluid from the first distribution connector. A first rotation member is coupled between the first intake connector and the first distribution connector such that the first fluid discharge fitting is rotatable about a first axis of rotation. The second fluid discharge fitting has a second intake connector which receives fluid from the second distribution connector. A second rotation member is coupled between the second intake connector and the second distribution connector such that the second fluid discharge fitting is rotatable about a second axis of rotation.

A multi-port thermal module which includes a central housing, a plurality of flow cavities integrally formed as part of the central housing, at least one inner housing connected to a first side of the central housing, a first plurality of inner flow channels integrally formed as part of the first inner housing, each of the first plurality of inner flow channels in fluid communication with at least one of the flow cavities, and a first outer housing connected to the first inner housing. A portion of each of a first plurality of flow channels is integrally formed as part of the first inner housing, and another portion of each of the first plurality of flow channels is integrally formed as part of the first outer housing. A rotor located in the central housing is rotated to various orientations to direct fluid between the plurality of flow cavities.

A pipe fitting having a base configured to engage with a pipe, the base having a mounting seat configured to engage directly with the pipe, a base ring configured to engage with the mounting seat, and a base flange configured to engage with the base ring, a top hat configured to engage with the base, the top hat having a top cap, a top hat ring configured to engage with the top cap, and a top hat flange configured to engage with the top hat ring, wherein the top hat flange is further configured to engage with the base flange to form a fitting cavity. A pipe flow controller may be in fluid communication with the internal pipe volume through a threaded nipple, while also being securely housed within the fitting cavity, thus protecting the pipe flow controller from corrosion, impacts and other forms of damage to prevent leakage.

An intermediate bulk container, valve and connector system is provided that includes a split nut connector. The split nut connector is rotatably mounted on a valve adapter plate which connects with the valve, and is internally threaded for engagement with external threads on the intermediate bulk container outlet. An O-ring seal is aligned and positioned between the adaptor plate inlet and intermediate bulk container outlet by positioning surfaces to provide compression and sealing between the component engaging surfaces, and sealing contact is provided between corresponding surfaces of the components.

A control valve includes: a second inner circumferential portion capable of holding a first spring, in a first communication passage provided at a first discharge opening of a housing; and a recessed portion recessed in a radial direction, at a position that is a part of a region in a circumferential direction of the second circumferential portion and overlaps a second communication passage opening in a biasing direction of the first spring. Therefore, when inserting the first spring into the first communication passage, it is possible to hold the first spring with the inner circumferential surface of the second inner circumferential portion. Consequently, the first spring is appropriately mounted in the second circumferential portion, thereby preventing a mounting defect of the first spring.

A trunnion ball valve provides a reliable seal when closed, while minimizing or eliminating frictional resistance during rotation of the ball. A pressurization chamber behind the upstream valve seat can be interconnected by one or more pressurization valves with either the upstream or the downstream process fluid. The interconnection can be via a single 3-way valve. When the valve is closed and the ball is fixed in orientation, the pressurization chamber is automatically connected to the upstream process fluid, thereby pressing the seat against the ball and ensuring a reliable seal. While the ball is being rotated, the pressurization chamber is automatically connected to the downstream process fluid, thereby substantially eliminating valve seat friction. Connection to the downstream process fluid can include connection to a small space in front of the upstream seat. An electronic controller can control both valve stem rotation and the pressurization valves.

An apparatus for handling fluid within an at least partially electrically driven vehicle, with a valve device including a valve housing. The valve housing includes at least three two radially arranged port openings and at least one axially arranged port opening for the inflow and/or outflow of fluid, and a valve body which is arranged inside the valve housing and is configured to be rotatable about an axial axis of rotation R. The valve body includes a first connecting channel of arcuate shape for connecting two radially arranged port openings and a second connecting channel of arcuate shape for connecting a radially arranged port opening with an axially arranged port opening. The at least two radially arranged port openings define a base plane B, which is configured orthogonally to the axial axis of rotation R, and the first arcuate connecting channel defines a first connecting channel plane V.
