Fluid flow manifold assemblies for use in fluid flow sets are provided. The fluid flow manifold assembly includes a body having a main fluid channel and a reinforcing plate, the main fluid channel having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet and a drug port. A flow control assembly is disposed opposite the main fluid channel from the drug port. The flow control assembly is configured to shut off fluid flow through the drug port into the main fluid channel with a plunger of the flow control assembly in a closed position and to allow incremental levels of fluid flow through the drug port into the main fluid channel by variably retracting the plunger based on rotation of a knob of the flow control assembly.

Fluid flow manifold assemblies for use in fluid flow sets are provided. The fluid flow manifold assembly includes a body having a main fluid channel, an inlet connector, an outlet connector and a drug port. A flow control assembly is disposed opposite the main fluid channel from the drug port. The flow control assembly includes a plunger, a seal member and a knob, wherein the plunger is disposed within the main fluid flow channel in a full open flow position and is configured to extend through the main fluid channel and be sealingly received by the drug port in a closed position, wherein the plunger position is based on rotation of the knob. Fluid flow sets with fluid flow manifold assemblies are also provided.

A venting and/or bleeding valve with a valve housing, a main valve arranged in the valve housing for rapid venting and bleeding of piping connected to the valve housing, an auxiliary valve arranged in the valve housing for operating ventilation of the piping at operating pressure, and a float arranged within the valve housing and controlling the main valve and the auxiliary valve as a function of the filling level of a fluid located in the valve housing. The venting and/or bleeding valve contains a valve position sensor for acquisition of the position of the main valve, at least one additional sensor for acquisition of the humidity and/or the pressure and/or of the temperature in an interior space of the valve housing, and an evaluation unit for acquisition of an operating state of the venting and/or bleeding valve as a function of the values acquired by the valve position sensor and any additional sensor.

A control valve positioner mounting system is configured to include a control valve, a control valve positioner, an attachment lever translating movement of the control valve to the control valve positioner, and a control valve attachment system for attaching the control valve to the attachment lever using a spring loaded attachment affixed to the control valve and applying spring force to the attachment lever.

A balance or flow limiting valve features a valve body/member having a flow rate indicator/scale containing setting having printed flow rates calibrated in units of measure in volume per time increment between a minimum flow rate position (MIN) and a maximum flow rate position (MAX); and a knob/handle having a position indicator and being moveable to any continuous position on the flow rate indicator/scale between MIN and MAX in response to a user applied force, where the relationship between the flow rate indicator/scale and the position indicator is based on calibrated flow characteristics of the balance or flow limiting valve. The user can set an exact desired flow rate in one operation by moving the knob/handle to a desired position between MIN and MAX without consulting a printed flow curve or balance calculator to determine the desired exact flow rate.

A gas pressure regulator comprises a high pressure inlet and a regulator mechanism which is arranged to receive high pressure gas via the high pressure inlet, and deliver gas at a regulated pressure to a regulated pressure outlet. The regulator comprises a regulator element and a rotatable member that rotates to move the regulator element, thereby adjusting the regulated pressure. A gauge arranged to receive high pressure gas and display a measured reading of the pressure of the high pressure gas is also provided along with a regulated pressure indicator which is arranged to display a regulated pressure value related to the degree of rotation of the rotary mechanism. The regulator mechanism has a gear chain between the rotatable member and the indicator so that it requires multiple rotations of the rotatable member to move the regulator element through its full range of movement.

A switching valve includes a valve head having a plurality of connection ports connecting a pipe, a rotor accommodated therein and including a groove for connecting the connection ports, and a rotor shaft holding the rotor and rotatably equipped, and a driver having a holder holding the valve head and a motor rotating the rotor shaft of the valve head held by the holder. Further, the valve head is provided with a home position sensor detecting a reference position in a rotation direction of the rotor shaft, and a teaching information holder holding information on a relative positional relationship between the reference position and a position of the rotor shaft when the rotor is at a predetermined position, and the reference position acquired using the home position sensor.

An illustrative damper system includes a damper blade that is configured to be positioned within a duct, such as a bypass duct of an HVAC system. A shaft is in communication with the damper blade, a torsion spring is in communication with the shaft, and a force adjustment mechanism is in communication with the torsion spring. The shaft, the damper blade, and the torsion spring may be configured such that the shaft may affect movement of the damper blade about a rotation axis and the torsion spring may provide a bias force to the shaft for biasing the damper blade toward a desired position (e.g. closed position).
