Bypass Strainer Valve Assembly and Method
A bypass strainer valve assembly can be used for controlling the flow of a fluid. The bypass strainer valve assembly can have a valve body with a valve body inlet, a valve body outlet, and a filter chamber. A first valve element can be moveable within the valve body between a first position and a second position, and a second valve element can be moveable within the valve body between a first position and a second position. The first valve element in the first position and the second valve element in the first position can be configured to cooperatively direct fluid through the filter chamber, as the fluid flows from the valve body inlet to the valve body outlet.

System and method for delivering fuel
A system for delivering fuel to an equipment fuel tank. The system includes a remote fuel storage tank and a valve assembly coupleable to the equipment fuel tank. The system includes a fuel supply line extending between the remote fuel storage tank and the valve assembly and a pneumatic valve disposed in the fuel supply line. The pneumatic valve can prevent flow of fuel into the fuel supply line or can enable flow of fuel into the fuel supply line. The valve assembly includes pressure tubes to detect changes in fuel level inside the equipment fuel tank. A switch actuates the pneumatic valve to prevent the flow of fluid in response to an overfilled position; and actuates the pneumatic valve to enable the flow of fluid in response to an underfilled position.

VALVE ACTUATOR DEVICE WITH DRIVING ARM HAVING A MODULAR STRUCTURE
A valve actuator device includes a supporting body, a driving shaft, and a fluid cylinder having a body connected to one side of the supporting body. The cylinder has a rod that controls rotation of a driving arm rigidly connected to the driving shaft. Linear movement of the rod is converted into rotation of the driving arm by engagement of a cam-follower pin carried by the rod within a slot formed in the driving arm. The slot is formed in an insert that constitutes an element separate from the driving arm body and that is received and held within a seat of the driving arm body. Thus, a single main body for the driving arm provided, having a plurality of inserts for selective mounting within the seat and are differentiated from one another in the dimensions and shape of the slot and/or in the material of the insert.
Operating structure of pilot-operated solenoid valve
An operating structure of a pilot-operated solenoid valve is provided. The pilot-operated solenoid valve includes a valve body having a main valve orifice and a pilot valve orifice to open and close the main valve orifice. The pilot valve orifice communicates with an accommodating chamber of the valve body. The operating structure includes a knob, an adjustment rod, and a water stop nut. The knob is positioned and fitted to an opening of the accommodating chamber. The adjustment rod is hermetically fitted in the accommodating chamber. One end of the adjustment rod is threadedly connected to the knob, and the other end of the adjustment rod is connected to the water stop nut. The adjustment rod is driven to move axially by rotation of the knob for driving the water stop nut to control the opening and closing of the main valve orifice.
Variable control orifice valve
An apparatus for controlling flow through a flow body comprising an intake opening and an output opening in the flow body, a cavity with a first cross-sectional shape and an opening, a diaphragm or a bellows, wherein the diaphragm or the bellows seals the opening of the cavity and the diaphragm or the bellows includes a hole, a plunger with the cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cavity, wherein the plunger is longitudinally movable within the cavity and a plunger portion forms an orifice with cavity portion, and a rod coupled with the plunger for facilitating the longitudinal movement of the plunger, wherein the rod comprises a rod cross section that corresponds to the hole in the diaphragm or the bellows.
Flow control valve assembly and complementary adjustment tool set
According to one aspect, a fluid control system is provided comprising a servicing tool set and at least one valve assembly comprising an actuator and a valve operationally engageable therewith; each valve comprising a valve body; each actuator comprising an actuator body having an upper base and side walls; wherein each actuator body is engageable with a valve body, and wherein the system is configured to allow: engaging the servicing tool set with an actuator and subsequently applying torque to an actuator body engaged with a valve body and thereby disengaging the actuator body from the valve body; the at least one valve assembly comprising at least one Normally Closed (NC) valve; wherein the NC valve is configured to allow activating an actuator engaged therewith with pressurized fluid and thereby opening the NC valve, wherein the actuator comprises a nipple and the servicing tool set comprises a ratchet and at least one socket engageable with the actuator body, and wherein the at least one socket is sized and shaped to accommodate the nipple, and wherein the servicing tool set is further configured to allow operationally coupling the pressurized fluid to the actuator.
