A valve assembly consists essentially of a valve body having an inlet port and an outlet port; a valve retainer at least partially housed within the valve body; a valve poppet positioned within the valve body; a magnet affixed within the valve body near the valve body inlet port; and a solenoid coil mounted around the valve body.

A valve device (2), of a pneumatically actuatable friction clutch engageable by spring force, includes at least one inlet valve (16, 18) connected on the input side to a pressurized supply line and on the output side to an actuating cylinder of the friction clutch. A pressure-sustaining valve (20, 28) is upstream or downstream of the inlet valve and is designed as a check valve closing in the backflow direction. The pressure-sustaining valve is a springless check valve and includes a housing ring (22, 30) having a retaining basket (36), a closing element (24, 32), and a valve seat (26, 34). The closing element, in the depressurized state and with a positive pressure gradient is held in the retaining basket (36) of the housing ring (22, 30) and, with a negative pressure gradient is pressed out of the retaining basket (36) and against the valve seat (26, 34).

Examples disclosed herein relate to conduits, devices, systems and methods, which may include a dispensing device including a valve configured to interact with an inlet stream, the inlet stream having a first pressure, the valve having an outlet area with an outlet stream, the outlet stream having a second pressure; and a solenoid configured to interact with the outlet stream.

In some embodiments, a solenoid valve device may include a body having a first fluid conduit, a second fluid conduit, and a chamber which may couple the first fluid conduit and a second fluid conduit together. A valve seat may be positioned within the chamber and all fluid passing through the chamber may be directed through the valve seat. A seal element may be movably positioned within the chamber and the seal element may be movable between a first position, in which the seal element is contacting the valve seat, and a second position, in which the seal element is not contacting the valve seat. A body magnet may motivate the seal element into the first position or the second position. Conversely, an electromagnet may overcome the magnetic communication of the body magnet and motivate the seal element into the second position or the first position.

A modular valve for free-flowing media, with a main module with a valve housing and an electromagnet, a dosing module with a closure member which is movable by means of the electromagnet and which closes a dispensing opening of the dosing module, and a valve lift adjustment module for adjusting the valve lift, which valve lift adjustment module comprises an elongate abutment part which is arranged at least in part in a valve interior of the main module and is modifiable in its axial position in the valve interior, which abutment part limits the movement of the closure member in the direction of the valve lift adjustment module, the dosing module and the valve lift adjustment module being connected releasably to the main module in such a way that the dosing module and the valve lift adjustment module can each be replaced by another module of the same module type.

Examples disclosed herein relate to conduits, devices, systems and methods, which may include a hollow element including an inner surface and an outer surface which allows for a passage of one or more of one or more fluid elements and one or more gaseous elements, a constraining element with one or more openings and one or more non-open elements, one or more blocking elements configured to stop the passage of the at least one of the one or more fluid elements and the one or more gaseous elements when the one or more blocking elements are in a first position relative to the one or more openings, and a movement device configured to move the one or more blocking elements to a second position relative to the one or more openings which allows for the passage of the one or more fluid elements and the one gaseous elements through the one or more openings in the constraining element.

A water pump assembly includes a lower housing configured for being positioned within a well. The lower housing includes a bladder therein. The bladder expands to force water within the housing into an outlet of a valve apparatus and the bladder contracts to draw water into the housing. A cylinder and piston fluidly coupled to an inlet of the valve apparatus and the inlet is fluidly coupled to the bladder. A one way valve is positioned within the valve apparatus and fluidly connects an inlet chamber including the inlet to an outlet chamber including the outlet. The one way valve allows water to flow from the outlet chamber into the inlet chamber and restricts water from flowing from the inlet chamber into the outlet chamber. An outlet conduit is fluidly coupled to the outlet of the valve apparatus to carry the water where desired.

A valve cartridge for insertion into a valve block for a manifold valve for accommodating a valve in the valve cartridge includes at least one through opening for the passage of fluid flowing to the valve and a filter device for filtering the fluid. The valve cartridge includes a first part and a second part, which are interconnected in such a way that the through opening is formed by the first and second part, the filter device being arranged between the first part and the second part.

There is provided an electromagnetic valve capable of ensuring a sufficient press-fit holding power when the electromagnetic valve is constructed by securing together a plurality of members by press-fitting. The electromagnetic valve of the present invention has a coil generating a magnetic field when energized, a cylinder comprising a cylindrical member of a non-magnetic material disposed at the inner periphery of the coil, a core provided at one end of the cylinder, a valve element disposed in the cylinder movably in the axial direction of the cylinder so that one end of the valve element faces the core, the valve element having a valve part at the other end thereof, a female press-fitting member having a cylindrical portion fluid-tightly connected to the cylinder, and a male press-fitting member having a seat part separable from the valve element, the male press-fitting member being press-fitted to the inside of the cylindrical portion of the female press-fitting member. The male press-fitting member has a rigidity lower than that of the female press-fitting member.

Magnetic fluidic valves of the present disclosure may include a valve body having at least one cavity therein, a ferromagnetic gate transmission element disposed within the cavity, an inlet port, an outlet port, a permanent magnet configured to bias the gate transmission element to a closed position, and an electromagnetic coil configured to, upon actuation, overcome a magnetic force acting on the gate transmission element from the permanent magnet. The gate transmission element may be configured to move from the closed position blocking the inlet port to an open position unblocking the inlet port upon actuation of the electromagnetic coil. Various other fluidic systems and methods are also disclosed.
