Stem Seals with Triangular Rings
A pressure-tight stem cylinder seal and a self-energizing stem shoulder seal matching the stem 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 stem cylinder, to convert their original axial tightening force 2f respectively into a radial compression force 4f/√3 of their soft ring 04 on the stem 02 cylinder and another radial compression force 2f of their soft ring 06 on the stem 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-stem 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.
BONDED SEAT VALVE
A valve seat includes a first end; a second end positioned opposite from the first end; and a body extending from the first end to the second end, the body defining an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface defining a main bore extending through the body from the first end to the second end, the main bore defining a main bore axis, the body defining a shaft bore extending from the inner surface to the outer surface, the shaft bore defining a shaft bore axis positioned perpendicular to the main bore axis, the shaft bore defining an inner shaft opening and an outer shaft opening, the body defining a concave seat bearing surface extending around the inner shaft opening.
Stem seals with triangular rings
A pressure-tight stem cylinder seal and a self-energizing stem shoulder seal matching the stem 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 stem cylinder, to convert their original axial tightening force 2f respectively into a radial compression force 4f/√3 of their soft ring 04 on the stem 02 cylinder and another radial compression force 2f of their soft ring 06 on the stem 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-stem 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.
Valve assemblies, valve packing assemblies and related systems and methods
Valve stem packing assemblies may include at least one end ring and at least one sealing ring. The at least one end ring may include an inner ring and an outer ring. Valves include a valve body, a valve stem, and a valve stem packing assembly.
Motor-Driven Throttle Valve for an Exhaust Duct
A motor-driven throttle valve for an exhaust duct and having: a tubular duct, which is designed so that exhaust gases can flow through it; a throttle shutter, which is arranged inside the tubular duct and is mounted so as to rotate around a rotation axis; a first shaft, which is mounted so as to rotate around the rotation axis and supports the throttle shutter; an electric actuator, which is provided with a second shaft and is designed to rotate the shaft around the rotation axis; a support bearing, which supports the shaft in a through manner and is arranged on the outside of the tubular duct; and a spring, which applies to the shaft an elastic force, which axially pushes the shaft and, at the same time, is configured to transmit a rotary motion around the rotation axis from the second shaft of the electric actuator to the first shaft supporting the throttle shutter.
VALVE DIAGNOSTIC AND PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
A ball valve is described for use in industrial plants. The valve includes: a valve body; a valve stem extending from the valve body through a valve gland, a valve-actuator interface flange, and an actuator flange; a first magnet and a second magnet mounted on the valve stem; a first hall-effect sensor aligned with the first magnet and mounted in the actuator flange; a second hall-effect sensor aligned with the second magnet; and an electronic control system in communication with the first hall-effect sensor and the second hall-effect sensor, the electronic control system configured to estimate torque exerted on the valve stem.
Packing module and stuffing box assembly
A stuffing box assembly for a valve includes a stuffing box and a packing module. The packing module carries one or more seals to engage with the stuffing box and a valve stem extending through the stuffing box. The packing module is able to be installed into, and removed from, the stuffing box as a single assembly. A valve stem can be formed with an integral ball on one end for engaging with a valve seat. The seals of the packing module create a fluid-tight seal against the valve stem and the stuffing box to inhibit fluid leakage through the stuffing box.
Butterfly valve and stem assembly
A butterfly valve capable of preventing leakage under demanding environmental and operating conditions. The valve includes two stem seal assemblies. The stem seal assemblies include a first pusher, a first energizer, a second pusher, a second energizer, and a force transmitting member. The force transmitting member is configured to transfer an axial load to the second Pusher, which causes the first and second energizer to expand radially to create a secondary and tertiary seals between the stem seal assembly and valve stem. In addition, the force transmitting member is configured to transfer an axial load to the first pusher which creates a primary seal.
Flow control device
A flow control device for a heat exchange system. The device includes a housing, a valve core and a transmission element. The housing is formed with an accommodating portion, a first port and a second port, the valve core being at least partially accommodated in the accommodating portion. The housing includes fixing elements and an outer housing, the fixing elements being located on a circumferential inner side of the outer housing, the outer housing and the fixing elements are arranged in a relatively sealing manner, and the valve core and the fixing elements are arranged in a relatively sealing manner. The valve core at least has a first flowing passage. The transmission element drives the valve core to open or close at least one of the first and second ports, thereby improving an internal sealing performance of the product.
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.
