Vent valve for an inner floating roof
11614755 · 2023-03-28 · ·

A vent valve includes an outer frame, a ventilation box movable in the outer frame, a sealing cover, a buoyant box and elongate sliding members. The ventilation box has an interior space. The sealing cover has a cover opening, and closes/opens a surrounding space defined by the ventilation box and the outer frame. The buoyant box is disposed within the interior space. When the buoyant box abuts the sealing cover and closes the cover opening, the cover opening is disconnected from the interior space. When the buoyant box moves away from the sealing cover, the interior space communicates the cover opening. The sliding members slidingly contact the outer frame and ventilation box to guide sliding movements.

A pressure relief valve includes a valve seat at the outlet, a valve body, and an air dashpot damper. In some embodiments, the valve body is configured to engage the valve seat and move along a central axis relative to the valve seat in response to a pressure at the outlet to regulate a flow of combustible gas through the outlet. In some embodiments, the air dashpot damper includes a tubular member having a closed distal end and an open proximal end, and a piston member received within the tubular member. In some embodiments, the tubular member or the piston member is attached to the valve body, and the piston moves relative to the tubular member along an axis of the tubular member in response to movement of the valve body relative to the valve seat. In some embodiments, the pressure relief valve includes a plurality of the air dashpot dampers.

TOILET FILL VALVE WITH IMPROVED NOISE PERFORMANCE
20170269614 · 2017-09-21 ·

A fill valve for receiving a fluid flow includes a lower pipe and a flow restrictor cartridge. The flow restrictor cartridge is received in the lower pipe. The flow restrictor cartridge receives the fluid flow at a first fluid flow rate and provides the fluid flow as a second fluid flow rate lower than the first fluid flow rate. The flow restrictor cartridge includes a receiver and a compact flow restrictor. The compact flow restrictor is received by the receiver. The compact flow restrictor is configured to facilitate the reduction from the first fluid flow rate to the second fluid flow rate.

INFUSION ARRANGEMENT FOR ADMINISTERING A MEDICAL FLUID
20210393874 · 2021-12-23 ·

An infusion arrangement for administering a medical fluid includes a medical elastomer pump that produces a delivery pressure dependent on expansion and thus is variable over an infusion duration, a fluid conduit path provided for discharging the medical fluid from the elastomer pump, and a fluid control device arranged in the fluid conduit path and designed to influence a volumetric flow of the medical fluid delivered through the fluid conduit path by the elastomer pump. The fluid control device has a hydraulic flow-regulating valve designed to regulate the volumetric flow to a setpoint value and is provided with a throttle action that is automatically variable at least in accordance with the delivery pressure. The infusion arrangement can be used in infusion therapy.
