MINIATURE PASSIVE THERMAL CONTROL VALVE FOR MIXING OR SPLITTING SINGLE-PHASE FLUID WITH ADJUSTABLE THERMAL ACTUATOR
A passive thermal control valve comprising a thermal actuator coupled to a valve body having first and second ports. The thermal actuator including an actuator body having an inner bore. An adjustment stop engages the actuator body. A cylinder is received within the actuator body inner bore and the cylinder has a cylinder bore open at one end. An actuator spring within the actuator body biases the cylinder towards the adjustment stop. An actuator rod is at least partially received within the cylinder and has first and second ends. At least a portion of the actuator rod is allowed to extend through the open cylinder bore. A sealing element forms a seal between the actuator rod and the cylinder and defines a sealed chamber within the cylinder. A thermal fluid is contained within the cylinder. A lever mechanism is connected to the valve body and includes a lever having a first end connected to the valve body. A valve spool is connected to a lever second end. The valve spool is arranged and designed to close the first port and allow a system fluid to flow through the second port, close the second port and allow the system fluid to flow through the first port, or allow the system fluid to flow through both the first and second ports.
Temperature-controlling water valve
A temperature-controlling water valve is provided. An adjusting assembly is assembled within the water valve and includes an adjusting member, a first elastic member, a blocking member and an abutting member. The first elastic member biases the abutting member, and the blocking member is fixed to the adjusting member to block the abutting member from detaching from a receiving hole of the adjusting member. A temperature-controlling assembly includes a valve member and a second elastic member biasing the valve member. Thermal expansion or contraction of a rod member of the valve member drives the valve member to move so that an overlapping area of the valve member and a first passageway of the water valve and an overlapping area of the valve member and a second passageway of the water valve change.
Thermostatic valve for motor vehicle
A thermostatic valve including a closed hollow body, a first opening and a second opening in the body, a stopper separating the first opening from the second opening, a thermostatic actuator capable of opening the stopper and a biasing member capable of closing the stopper, wherein the stopper includes a movable cage capable of sliding in relation to a fixed cage along an axis substantially coinciding with the axis of the thermostatic actuator, the movable cage or the fixed cage having at least one port, and the relative movement of the movable cage in relation to the fixed cage allowing the at least one port (8, 80) to be selectively closed or opened, and in that the movable cage is made of plastics.
Cold Water Discharge Structure
The present invention provides a cold water discharge structure, which pertains to the technical field of shower equipment. It solves the problem of inconvenient use of existing cold water discharge device. The cold water discharge structure comprises a housing having an inlet and an outlet, a lateral part of the housing has a drainage hole capable of communicating with the inlet; a temperature sensing component is capable of moving under an elasticity effect of the elastic element to block communication between the inlet and the outlet and capable of communicating the inlet with the drainage hole; a temperature sensing component is capable of moving by overcoming an elasticity effect of the elastic element after sensing an increase in a medium temperature to block communication between the inlet and the drainage hole and capable of communicating the inlet with the outlet. The cold water discharge structure improves convenience of use.
Self-modulated cooling on turbine components
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for passively managing cooling air in a gas turbine engine. A cooling air supply line may supply cooling air to a component in the gas turbine engine. A metering coupon may have a negative coefficient of thermal expansion. The metering coupon may allow more airflow through the metering coupon and through the component in response to an increase in temperature.
Excess flow and thermal valve
An excess flow and thermal valve assembly includes a valve housing, a valve carried in the housing and displaceable during excess flow conditions to reduce flow of fluid through the assembly, and an intumescent or intumescent material carried in the valve housing and expandable during excess temperature conditions to reduce flow of fluid through the assembly.
Faucet Assembly With Integrated Anti-Scald Device
Improved fluid supply assemblies for fluid systems are provided. In exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure provides for improved fluid supply assemblies and related features, systems and methods of use. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for advantageous faucet assemblies (e.g., electrically or mechanically actuated faucet assemblies) having an integrated anti-scald device and having an integrated temperature mixing valve. The present disclosure provides for a faucet assembly having an integrated temperature mixing valve, and/or having an integrated anti-scald device configured to stop the inlet flow of hot water in the event the mixed outlet water temperature exceeds a user-selected set point. Advantageous faucet assemblies of the present disclosure can prevent scalding as defined by ASST; 1070, Improved, convenient and effective systems and methods for utilizing improved faucet assemblies in fluid systems are provided.
Single axis thermal relief valve
A thermal relief valve, comprising a housing having a channel, a first aperture, and a second aperture, wherein the first aperture and the second aperture are arranged symmetrically about a central axis, an actuator within the housing arranged about the axis, a first seal secured to the actuator, the first seal comprising a plurality of apertures, and having a first upwardly facing surface, and a second downwardly facing surface, a first spring arranged between the second surface of the first seal and the housing component, a second seal comprising a first upwardly facing surface and a second downwardly facing surface, the first surface of the second seal positioned on the second surface of the first seal and, a second spring arranged between the second surface of the second seal and the housing, wherein the first seal and the second seal are axially movable by the actuator along the central axis.
Fail safety coolant control valve
Disclosed herein is a fail-safe coolant control valve. The fail-safe coolant control valve includes a valve housing, a valve member, an actuator, and a fail-safe unit. The valve housing is provided on an outer surface thereof with at least two ports. The valve housing has therein an internal space communicating with the ports. The valve member is rotatably installed in the internal space of the valve housing and rotates via an actuator. The fail-safe unit rotates the valve member depending on a temperature of a coolant in the valve housing when a failure occurs.
THERMOSTATIC DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE FLOW OF A FLUID, AND THERMOSTATIC VALVE COMPRISING SUCH A DEVICE
A thermostatic element, a main seal, that can be moved axially relative to a fixed seat to open and close a main valve and linked to the movable part of the thermostatic element to open the main valve, the main seal and the thermostatic element assembled together and forming a first module. A spring biasing the movable part towards the fixed part of the thermostatic element, controlling the closing of the main valve. A bracket supporting the spring and interposed axially between the spring and a fixed casing. A support cradle supporting the first module, removably inserting the first module therein, by axially interposing the cradle between the first module and the spring, including a by-pass seal, that is axially movable relative to a fixed seat of the bracket so as to open/close a by-pass valve when the main valve is opened/closed, and linked to the bracket in an axially movable manner, with the spring interposed axially and held fixedly to the bracket to keep the spring in the compressed state between them.
