摘要:
A cylinder valve with integrated pressure regulator. The valve comprises a housing containing a shut off valve, to control the flow of gas from the valve, a regulator, to reduce the pressure of the gas from the cylinder, and a pilot regulator. The pilot regulator is controllable via an actuator to set the pressure at which the regulator delivers gas to the outlet valve.
摘要:
A digital valve assembly for controlling the flow of fluid from a cylinder. The valve assembly comprises a digital valve powered by a battery and a wireless charging point for receiving power wirelessly and thereby charging the battery.
摘要:
A pilot regulator (30) to control the pressure at which a regulator operates. The pilot regulator comprises an inlet port to receive high pressure gas from a cylinder and a pilot valve element (37) biased towards the inlet port to control the flow of gas through the inlet port. The biasing force provided by the biasing element is adjustable by an actuator (35) to control the pressure of pilot gas passing through the inlet port to a regulator (10). The biasing element (33) is arranged to bias the pilot valve element open while a balancing biasing element (34) is positioned between the pilot actuator and the pilot valve element to provide an opposing force on the pilot valve element.

The invention relates to a digital valve for use with a gas cylinder (10). Specifically, the invention is concerned with charging of the store of charge (30). A digital valve assembly (1) for controlling the flow of fluid from a cylinder (10), the digital valve assembly (1) comprising: a digital valve (20); a store of charge (30) in communication with the digital valve (20) for providing power thereto; and a wireless charging point (40) for receiving power wirelessly and thereby charging the store of charge (30).
摘要:
An electronic valve assembly for a cylinder containing a compressible fluid. The valve assembly comprises a generator configured to receive a flow of compressible fluid from the cylinder through the electronic valve assembly to generate electricity. The generated electricity powers the electronic valve assembly or increases the charge stored on a store of charge such as a battery.
摘要:
A shut-off valve assembly for use on a cylinder containing pressurised fluid. The shut-off valve assembly comprises a valve element movable between an open position and a closed position in response to rotation of a lever from a first position to a second position. The lever is biased towards the second position by a biasing means and the valve assembly comprises a securing means for locking the lever in the first, or open, position. The securing means can release the lever to allow the valve element to return to the closed position by the biasing means.

摘要:
A valve apparatus for mixing fluids comprising a plurality of digital valves. Each valve has an actuator for adjusting the pressure and/or rate of flow of fluid from a cylinder storing fluid, a mixer for mixing the flow of fluid from each valve to produce an output flow, a fluid analysis unit arranged to monitor the composition of the output flow, and a controller arranged to provide a target mixture concentration for the output flow. The controller transmits target data to the fluid analysis unit, the fluid analysis unit receives the target data, to determine any error in the monitored composition, and sends a correction signal to one or more of the valves for adjusting the flow. Each of the valves is able to receive a correction signal and to adjust the flow using the actuator.
