Method and arrangement for maintaining fluid flow pressure in a system at a preset, almost constant level
10289128 · 2019-05-14 · ·

A method and arrangement for maintaining fluid flow pressure in a system at a preset, almost constant level. A method for maintaining fluid flow pressure almost constant regardless of mass flow. The arrangement including a pressure accumulator, and a nozzle valve. The nozzle valve having a valve body and axially oriented needle for opening and closing the mouth of its outflow channel. The needle shaft guided by a slide element mounted inside the valve body. The inflow into the flow body passes to the other side of the slide element through one or several channels. The needle moves axially to open and close the channel because of the forces acting upon it. Forces acting upon it may include the accumulator, the inflow and a spring. The needle's movement adjust the cross-sectional area of the outflow channel mouth not disposed by the needle head to maintain an almost constant pressure.

Lift valve with bellow hydraulic protection and chatter reduction

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate gas lift valves for use in hydrocarbon wells for artificial lift operations. One embodiment of the present disclosure is a valve. The valve comprises a housing and a bellows disposed in the housing. A first side of the bellows is in fluid communication with an inlet of the housing, and a second side of the bellows faces a closed chamber in the housing. The valve further comprises a barrier assembly disposed in the closed chamber.

Automatic drain valve

A drain valve assembly includes a valve housing having an inlet port and an outlet port and a water collection chamber between the inlet port and the outlet port, and a poppet valve positioned in the water collection chamber and arranged to be normally sealingly positioned across the outlet port to prevent water exiting the water collection chamber to the outlet port. The poppet valve is attached to a pressure diaphragm across the water collection chamber such that when the pressure in the water collection chamber exceeds a predetermined opening pressure it causes the diaphragm to lift and to lift the poppet out of sealing engagement across the outlet port such that water can drain to the outlet port from the water collection chamber. The poppet valve has a hollow body defining a channel from a first end of the poppet valve.

Urea solution pumps having leakage bypass

Urea solution pumps having leakage bypass flowpaths and methods of operating the same are disclosed. Certain embodiments are pump apparatuses including an inlet passage in flow communication with a source of urea solution and a pump chamber, an outlet passage in flow communication with the pump chamber and an exhaust after treatment system, a diaphragm facing the pump chamber and coupled with an actuator, a first housing member coupled with a second housing member form a seal around the pumping chamber, a leak collection chamber surrounding the seal, and a return passage in flow communication with the leak collection chamber and the inlet passage. Urea solution that leaks from the pump chamber past the seal is received by the leak collection chamber and flows through the return passage to the pump inlet passage.

Oscillating valve

Systems and methods described herein provide a pilot-operated oscillating valve including a diaphragm. The valve is configured such that when the diaphragm is in a closed position, pressure of a fluid supply opens the valve, and when the diaphragm is in an open position, the pressure of the fluid closes the valve. The oscillating valve may further include an actuator that can cause the valve to be arrested selectively in the open position or the closed position depending on a state of the actuator. The state of the actuator is switchable with a small expenditure of energy, enabling an extended duty cycle for a battery or other power source associated with the actuator. In some implementations, energy from the oscillating movement of the diaphragm may be captured to recharge the battery for the actuator.

Heating system

A heating system can include certain pressure sensitive features. These features can be configured to change from a first position to a second position based on a pressure of a fuel flowing into the feature. These features can include, fuel selector valves, pressure regulators, burner nozzles, and oxygen depletion sensor nozzles, among other features.

Urea injection systems valves

Apparatuses and methods for urea dosing of an exhaust after treatment system are disclosed. Exemplary apparatuses include a chamber configured to receive pressurized gas at a first inlet, receive urea solution at a second inlet and provide a combined flow of pressurized gas and urea to an outlet, flow passage extending from the first inlet to a seating surface, and a valve member configured to move between an open position in which the valve member is spaced apart from the seating surface and a closed position in which the valve member contacts the seating surface. As the valve member moves from the open position to the closed position, the valve member contacts the seating surface at a first location and wipes an area of the seating surface extending from the first location in a direction toward the flow passage.

OSCILLATING VALVE

Systems and methods described herein provide a pilot-operated oscillating valve that uses a battery. The valve is configured such that when a diaphragm is in a closed position, pressure of a fluid supply opens the valve, and when the diaphragm is in an open position, the pressure of the fluid closes the valve. An actuator causes the diaphragm to be arrested selectively in the open position or the closed position. The state of the actuator is switchable with a small expenditure of energy, enabling an extended duty cycle for a battery or other power source associated with the actuator. In some implementations, energy from the oscillating movement of the diaphragm may be captured to recharge the battery for the actuator.

Diaphragm valve formed using additive manufacture
12135100 · 2024-11-05 · ·

An oscillating diaphragm valve is provided. The valve is configured such that, when the diaphragm is in a closed position, pressure of a fluid supply opens the valve, and when the diaphragm is in an open position, the pressure of the fluid closes the valve. The valve internals are formed as a single, enclosed piece, with openings provided only for supply and consumption. The pilot-operated diaphragm-type valve uses a return spring for the diaphragm that applies a biasing force to an outside surface of the valve internals. Additionally, an actuator is provided to selectively arrest the diaphragm in an open or closed position by applying force to a different outside surface of the valve internals.
