Turbocharger compressor recirculation system

Recirculation systems for engine intake air are disclosed having a turbocharger compressor with an inlet and an outlet, a recirculation pathway connecting fluid flow from the outlet of the turbocharger compressor to fluid flow into the inlet of the turbocharger compressor, and a recirculation valve assembly controlling fluid flow through the recirculation pathway. The recirculation valve assembly includes an actuator operating a valve coupled to an aspirator assembly that produces vacuum when the fluid flows through the recirculation pathway from the inlet to the outlet and when fluid flows through the recirculation pathway from the outlet to the inlet. Fluid flows through the recirculation pathway from the outlet to the inlet when the turbocharger generates boost. The vacuum generated by the aspirator assembly is in fluid communication with the actuator to move the valve between two or more positions.

Tank pressure control solenoid with passive tank vacuum

A valve assembly providing flow control between a fuel tank and a carbon canister, which includes two valves providing two different flow paths, where the first valve provides active vacuum relief along the first flow path, and the second valve provides passive vacuum relief along the second flow path. A reservoir is added to the cap which is common for both flow paths. The second valve has a sealing valve member and a biasable member that passively relieves fuel tank vacuum pressure at a predetermined vacuum level.

Device for regulating the pressure and/or mass flow for a space propulsion system

A device for regulating pressure and/or mass flow of a gaseous or liquid fluid conveyed through a line in a space propulsion system includes a first, piezoelectrically actuatable regulating valve and at least two second, magnetically actuatable regulating valves. The regulating valves are connected to each other and to a line input in such a way that in a nominal mode the pressure and the mass flow of the fluid can be set by the first regulating valve, and a connection or isolation of the first regulating valve with or from the line input can be produced by the second regulating valves. In an emergency mode the pressure and the mass flow of the fluid can be set by the second regulating valves.
