Charging valve, air conditioning system and electric vehicle
The disclosure discloses a charging valve, an air conditioning system and an electric vehicle. The charging valve includes: an outer valve body including a first inner cavity, the outer valve body is provided with a connection port in communication with the first inner cavity; an inner valve body movably installed in the first inner cavity, the inner valve body has a sealing position for closing the connection port and a charging position for opening the connection port, and the inner valve body is provided with a second inner cavity; and a valve core assembly, installed in the second inner cavity. The inner valve body of such a charging valve realizes the isolation of the valve core assembly from the connection port. A problem that air enters the air conditioning system in a vacuum state or that leakage appears in the valve core assembly is avoided.

VALVE WITH EXCHANGEABLE PACKING SEAL CARTRIDGE
A valve includes at least one valve stem seal, such as a packing seal, that is included in a removable seal cartridge. The valve stem is connected to the actuator via a linkage, which can be removed to provide a linkage gap between the actuator and the valve stem. The seal cartridge can then be slid along the valve stem into the linkage gap and laterally removed from the valve, whereupon the seals within the seal cartridge can be refurbished. The valve can be a rotary or linear valve. In embodiments, the linkage gap can be increased by linear displacement of the actuator away from the valve stem. The seal cartridge can be re-installed in the valve after refurbishment, or a substantially identical replacement seal cartridge can be provided, and can be installed in the valve in replacement of the removed seal cartridge, thereby minimizing downtime of the valve.
PRESSURIZED DUAL PACKING SEAL VALVE
A valve configured to control a flow of a process fluid includes a pair of packing seals separated by a seal gap space along a linear valve stem of the valve, and a pressurization port that can be used to apply a pressurizing fluid, such as nitrogen gas, to the seal gap at a gap pressure that is higher than the process fluid pressure, thereby ensuring that any leakage past the packing seals will be of pressurizing fluid into the process fluid and/or into the environment, and that no process fluid will escape into the environment. The pressure or flow rate of the pressurizing fluid can be monitored to detect and quantify any pressurization fluid leakage past either of the packing seals, so that a maintenance action can be applied to the valve, such as re-tightening or replacing at least one of the packing seals, or replacing the valve.

VALVE WITH RE-MELTING EXPANSION PORT
A valve for controlling a molten liquid includes an expansion port in liquid communication with an internal volume of the valve that is filled with the molten liquid. An expansion valve can be opened during unfreezing of the valve, to allow melting process substance to expand out of the internal volume into an expansion line as it is melted. During initialization of the valve, an inert gas source, pressure regulator, and ultrasonic transition level sensor can be used to establish a liquid/gas interface at a desired height within the expansion line. The valve can include a multi-zone heater, wherein a first of the zones is adjacent the expansion port, so that during unfreezing, after the first zone has been melted, the remaining zones can be sequentially activated in an order that ensures that each zone is activated only after an adjacent zone has been melted.
Safely release bleeder valve
A safety release bleeder valve serving as a plug includes a barrel having an exterior surface and an interior throughbore surface for matingly receiving a plug having a top end with exterior threads and an interior socket for receiving a driver tool for moving the plug between an open venting state and a closed non-venting state.
STEM SEALS WITH TRIANGULAR RINGS
A pressure-tight stein cylinder seal and a self-energizing stein shoulder seal matching the stein cylinder seal that both use an equilaterally triangular soft ring as their sealing element, wherein their designing rules are first, by means of wedging function of a hard gland coaxial with the stein cylinder, to convert their original axial tightening force 2f respectively into a radial compression force 4f/√3 of their soft ring 04 on the stein 02 cylinder and another radial compression force 2f of their soft ring 06 on the stein 02 shoulder and ensure that the two soft rings are so compressed from a great room to a small room as to be able to pass a pressure or stress exactly to each different direction, then to cut off their off-stein corners to give their cavities an opening or give each soft ring an axial compressing allowance, and last, by means of anti-extrusion metallic C-rings without axial resistance, to close each opening to provide a full support for the sealing deformation of their soft rings compressed in their cavities.
HIGH-PRESSURE PRIMING VALVE
A new and innovative high-pressure priming valve is provided for use in high-pressure fluid systems that require a high level of fluid purity. The priming valve includes at least three ports, some of which are angled. The priming valve also includes a needle that variably blocks and unblocks a pathway to one of the ports between normal operation and a priming operation, respectively. The priming valve includes a sealing insert positioned below a stack of washers that maintain the needle's alignment in response to high fluid pressures exerted on the needle. The sealing insert helps prevent fluid from contacting the stack of washers, which helps prevent biological growth within the valve. The angled ports help facilitate priming valve drainage to further help prevent biological growth. By helping prevent biological growth, the sealing insert helps prevent fluid contamination and enables the priming valve to be utilized for high-purity fluid applications.
