摘要:
A closure device for a container of compressed gas, particularly a capsule having a water capacity in the range of (5) to 100ml, comprises a shut-off valve (122) and a pressure-reducing valve (120), particularly a pressure regulating valve. The shut-off valve (122) is on the lower pressure side of the pressure-reducing valve (120). The closure device may also comprise a fill valve (118) to enable the container to be recharged with gas.

A conduit protection system, comprising: a conduit for carrying a fluid; a sealed vessel surrounding the conduit along a protected zone of the conduit; and a valve moveable between a first position for obstructing fluid flow through the protected zone of the conduit and a second position for enabling fluid flow through the protected zone of the conduit, wherein the valve is biased to the first position, and wherein the valve is fluidically coupled to the sealed vessel such that a positive pressure within the sealed vessel is operable to move the valve to the second position against the bias. Also, a method for protecting a fluid carrying conduit.
摘要:
An emergency shutoff valve (20,130,200,300,330) is provided that includes a housing (30,132,210) defining a fluid inlet (50,138,220), a fluid outlet (52,140,222) and fluid flow passage (54,142,224) extending therebetween. The valve includes a valve element (62) disposed within the housing and releasably latched in an open position by a latching mechanism (74,149,229). An expansible member (100,144,252) defines at least a portion of a sealed expansible chamber (108,145,254) that is sealed at locations downstream and upstream of a weakened portion (94,146,242) of the housing. The emergency shutoff valve defines a failure mode wherein the structural integrity of the housing is compromised to an extent wherein fuel can flow into the expansible chamber when a predetermined load is applied to a portion of the housing, wherein the expansible member is operable for uncoupling the latching mechanism so that the valve element moves from the open position to the closed position.

An automatically operating valve for use for example in a forecourt fuel pump has a body (10) defining a flow passage (20) within which is formed a valve seat (22), the body having a weakened zone (16) around the flow passage (20) such that an impact on the body will fracture the body at the weakened zone. A valve member (30) is mounted for movement within the flow passage (20) and is engageable with the valve seat (22) to close the valve. A closing mechanism effects movement of the valve member (30) to its closed position in the event that the body (10) is fractured at the weakened zone. Further, the valve member (30) is configured to move to its closed position under the influence of excessive flow of liquid through the flow passage (20).
