The present invention relates to a valve for a system for spraying a cleaning liquid, said valve comprising: —a valve body including a hydraulic cavity configured to be fluidically connected to a hydraulic channel of the spray system and intended to receive the cleaning liquid, —a plunger configured to be displaced in the hydraulic cavity between an open position, in which it allows the cleaning liquid to enter the hydraulic channel, and a closed position, in which it prevents the passage of the cleaning liquid through the hydraulic channel, —a compressible elastic element containing a gas disposed in the hydraulic cavity and configured to be compressed if the cleaning liquid in the valve freezes.

In one embodiment, a fluid dynamics system includes a solenoid valve including a valve body including ports including an inlet and outlet port, and a valve cavity having a direction of elongation and configured to provide fluid connectivity between ones of the ports, a solenoid coil disposed around valve cavity, and a plunger including a permanent magnet, and configured to move back-and-forth along the direction of elongation between a first and a second position in the valve cavity selectively controlling the fluid connectivity between respective ones of the ports, the valve body including shock absorber(s) to soften striking of the plunger against the valve body in the direction of elongation, and a controller configured to apply at least one current to the solenoid coil to selectively move the plunger between the first and second position, and to selectively maintain the plunger in the first position and the second position.

The present disclosure relates to a fuel tank isolation valve of a vehicle, wherein the first armature and the second armature are connected in such a manner that there is no clearance therebetween, and a spring compression amount securing groove is formed on the upper surface of the guide. In a preferred finished valve assembly state, the position of the first armature in a valve-off state can be constant, and the movement of the first armature does not significantly occur, thereby noise, vibration, and wear are inhibited or prevented.

A two-stage changeover valve is provided in a vaporized fuel passage connected between a fuel tank and a canister. A valve member is movably accommodated in a fluid passage formed in a valve housing. A valve seat is formed at an inner peripheral wall of the valve housing, so that the valve member is operatively seated on the valve seat. A restricted communication hole is formed in the valve member, so that an upstream side and a downstream side of the valve member are communicated with each other, even when the valve member is seated on the valve seat. The restricted communication hole is formed in a Laval-nozzle shape, so that vaporized fuel passing through the restricted communication hole is accelerated. As a result, a process for depressurizing inner pressure of the vaporized fuel in the fuel tank can be carried out in a shorter time.

The invention relates to a method for determining a characteristic value of a magnetic switch valve. The magnetic switch valve can be switched from a closed switch state into an open switch state, via the movement of a rotor by means of a switching magnet applied with current against a conservative restoring force. According to the invention, during the switching of the switch valve from the open state into the closed state, the time course of the current flowing through the switching magnet and/or of the voltage at the switching magnet is measured. The characteristic value to be measured is evaluated from this time course. It was recognised that every movement of the rotor against the switching magnet induced a voltage in same. Now the voltage at the switching magnet is regulated at a constant value, for one, the voltage induced by the movement can be observed as a control deviation in the short term. For another, the induced voltage causes a current flow through the switching magnets. Based on this, the kinematics of the rotor can be deduced. Given that the switching magnet has an ohmic resistance, energy is also dissipated via the current flow. This energy is the key to determining the switching path covered by the rotor when switching between the closed and the open state. The invention also relates to a measuring device that is particularly suitable for the method.

A divert-air valve for a compressor of an internal combustion engine includes a flow housing with a duct, an actuator, a control body moved by the actuator to control a throughflow cross section of the duct, an armature, openings in the control body, a valve housing with a housing wall, a support ring with a ring-shaped plate and a cylinder wall, and a sealing ring which seals the housing interior with respect to a part of the duct. The armature is connected to the control body. The openings fluidically connect the housing interior to a part of the duct. The valve housing surrounds the actuator and a part of the control body. The support ring bears, via the cylinder wall, radially from the outside against the housing wall. The radial sealing ring lies axially against the ring-shaped plate and bears radially at the outside against the housing wall.

A valve for blocking and releasing a flow path, having an electromagnetic actuator unit, a pin axially movable by the electromagnetic actuator unit, a closure element connected to the pin. The closure element is designed to block and release a flow path and has a first axial end arranged remotely from the flow path and is connected to the pin, and a second axial end arranged in the flow path, and a housing which receives at least the pin and the first axial end of the closure element. At least in a region of its first axial end, the closure element has a radially circumferential seal with an outwardly protruding seal lip. The seal lip lies sealingly against a region of the housing in a closed state of the valve, and the seal lip has at least one radially circumferential bead.

A method for controlling the through-flow cross-section of a gas valve is described. The gas valve comprises a valve body in which a flow channel is provided, a valve element which can be displaced therein between a closed position and an opened position, an armature, a coil, a spring and a control circuit. For opening the flow channel, the control circuit excites the coil with a pulse width-modulated current, the pulse duty factor of which, starting from a starting value, is increased until the armature starts moving out of the closed position against the effect of the spring. Then, the control circuit reduces the pulse duty factor before the valve element has reached the opened position. The control circuit then sets the pulse duty factor at a predefined holding value with which the valve element is held in the opened position.

In a fuel gas circulation apparatus, a diffuser is accommodated in an attachment hole of a body. An injector is provided upstream of the diffuser through an attachment. A vibration absorption member made of elastic material is provided between a proximal end of a large diameter portion of this diffuser and a distal end of a main body in the attachment, and a ring member is provided adjacent to the vibration absorption member.

A valve arrangement controls a flow of damping medium in a shock absorber. A radial column is provided with an axial failsafe flow such that the fail safe flow is not dependent on the exact axial position of the control valve member for creating the fail safe restriction, and less turbulence arise affecting the axial position of the control valve member. Thereby a valve arrangement is provided which has a more stable and reliable failsafe operation, resulting in a more dependable valve arrangement.
