Excess flow and thermal valve
11681308 · 2023-06-20 · ·

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.

Temperature-controlled pressure regulator assemblies

A temperature-controlled pressure regulator assembly includes a regulator having a regulator body, a valve seat, an inlet, an outlet, and defines a flow passage connecting the inlet and the outlet. A control element controls the device, a portion of the flow passage extends through a heat chamber, and a heater is positioned to heat the chamber thereby conveying heat to a fluid in the flow passage. A controller is electrically coupled to the heater and is coupled to a power source. A thermal cut-off fuse is coupled to a control circuit, with the thermal cut-off fuse arranged to electrically decouple the heater from the control circuit in response to a temperature exceeding a threshold, thereby deactivating the heater. The thermal cut-off fuse is disposed in a circular fuse holder and positioned adjacent the heater and adjacent a longitudinal center of the heat chamber.

Disclosed is a thermostatic valve assembly having a valve body with a chamber, an inlet port, a first output port, and a second output port. The thermostatic assembly includes a wax element, a ball valve component with a drive pin, and a plunger with a drive opening to engage the drive pin. The ball valve component is rotatably secured within the chamber and transitions between a first rotational position when the plunger is in the first linear position and a second rotational position when the plunger is in the second linear position. The ball valve component features a body portion that includes a first spherical portion, defined by a radius extending from the axis to the exterior surface of the first spherical portion, and a second spherical portion with a second radius extending from the axis to the exterior surface of the second spherical portion.
