A multi-stage pressure regulation system, device and associated methodology for reducing the pressure of gas passing through a gas sample conditioning system. The device and method allow for automatic and/or manual configuration settings for regulating different types of gas having different profiles while still avoiding dew point dropout thereby ensuring accurate sample analysis at a downstream analyzer. The pressure regulating device includes a housing having a core, a vapor sample input port, a plurality of openings on an upper surface, a plurality of pressure regulating valves configured to reduce the pressure of a vapor sample, and an assembly having a base and substantially central stem orthogonal to the base and extending axially therefrom, the stem being disposed within the core.

An integrated pressure regulator is provided with three stages configured to reduce an extreme tank pressure down to a typical working pressure. The regulator is configured to supply a steady working pressure until the tank pressure is reduced to little more than the working pressure itself. Stages of the pressure regulator are integrated into a body and arranged to minimize regulator mass and volume. A thermally-triggered pressure relief device may be included with a triggering time adapted to enhance the safety of smaller cylinders that may be used, e.g., in aerial applications.

The present invention relates to a pressure stabilizer (14) comprising a constant pressure chamber (10) to which 3 pipes are attached, namely an outlet pipe (13), located downstream of the pressure stabilizer (14), an inlet pipe (11) and a return pipe (12), both placed upstream of the pressure stabilizer (14). The pressure stabilizer (14) prevents hydraulic shocks, which can potentially damage hydraulic installations. The devices described in the state of the art do not allow to stabilize efficiently spiky pressure fluctuations by means of simple hydraulic systems. The present invention by means of the combined operation of a pressure reducing valve (2) and a relief valve (3), will eliminate the pressure peaks at the inlet of hydraulic installations.

An assembly for an ATIS that includes a tire inflation valve and a tire deflation valve, and further includes a safety valve that is configured to receive the tire pressure, deflate a tire when tire pressure is too high such as due to braking heat, road friction, ambient temperature, or other reasons. The safety valve prevents deflation of the tire through the deflation valve in the case of low source pressure, such as the pressure source fails or a leak in the source pressure system lines. The assembly is designed to be quickly serviced in the field, where the serviceable parts are very inexpensive. Multiple devices can be installed in parallel with the others, with one device per tire or tire set. The assembly can be a block configured to be attached to a hub cap of a vehicle. It also enables a sensor placement on the hub cap for hub temperature sensing as well as tire pressures sensing and reporting.

Embodiments described herein relate to a pressure-regulating device, systems that include the device, and related methods. For example, the pressure-regulating device may receive gas from a gas supply at a first pressure (e.g., on a supply side of the pressure-regulating device) and may regulate or reduce the pressure of the received gas to a selected or suitable second, different pressure.

Balanced plug assemblies and pressure regulators having balanced plug assemblies are described herein. A pressure regulator disclosed herein includes a device body defining a fluid passageway between an inlet and an outlet. The device body defines a channel between the fluid passageway and a pressure sense chamber. The pressure regulator includes a seat in the fluid passageway, a stem having a flange, and a plug coupled to the stem. The pressure regulator also includes a stem guide disposed in the channel of the device body. The flange of the stem disposed in a balance chamber of the stem guide and divides the balance chamber into a first balance chamber portion and a second balance chamber portion. The stem guide at least partially forms a balance passage that fluidly couples the pressure sense chamber and the second balance chamber portion.

A combination check and relief valve assembly especially designed as a manifold attachment to the exhaust port of a blower and which adapts to the blower's exhaust to maintain pressure within the manifold to a certain range. The combination valve features a manifold having an inner channel which connects to the discharge port of the blower via an inlet port, a check valve assembly having a spring-loaded ball disposed for periodic operative engagement with the inlet port for the prevention of backflow of the fluid discharge and a relief valve assembly mounted in a side channel of the manifold for releasing and venting the fluid discharge through a relief vent port upon an excessive pressure buildup. The relief valve includes a spring-loaded plunger which opens and closes the relief vent port. The combined effect of the two valves helps to maintain the pressure in the manifold to a set adjustable desired range.

A pressure reducing valve for a fuel cell vehicle system which has an inlet, an outlet, a first stage unit, a second stage unit and a secondary safety device acting between the inlet and the first stage unit is provided. The secondary safety device is adapted to lower or stop a gas flow between the inlet and the first stage unit when the gas flow exceeds a preset threshold flow.
