    Abstract: An arrangement for blocking/unblocking a fluid flow comprises: a component delimiting a fluid passage to conduct a fluid from a high pressure side to a low pressure side; a bursting disk at least indirectly attached to the component and separating the high and low pressure sides to close the fluid passage; a support element on the low pressure side, which supports the bursting disk to withstand a fluid pressure on the high pressure side that exceeds a nominal bursting pressure of the bursting disk but that is lower than a maximum pressure; and a controllable actuator actuatable for unblocking the fluid passage. To unblock the fluid passage, the actuator is arranged to destroy or damage the support element such that a fluid pressure on the high pressure side of the bursting disk exceeding the nominal bursting pressure causes the bursting disk to burst.

    Abstract: A valve arrangement for inflating an inflatable device includes a valve body comprising an inlet, an outlet, a main fluid channel, a first ball detent, and a second ball detent. A lifter and a sleeve are located in the main fluid channel. A locking ball is disposed at least partially within a locking ball aperture disposed in the sleeve. A piston is coupled to the lifter and fluidly coupled to a command pressure cavity of the valve body. A spring biases the lifter toward a ball locking position whereby the lifter urges the locking ball at least partially into the first ball detent. A valve operation initiator controls a flow of pressurized gas into the command pressure cavity to urge the lifter to a ball releasing position to free the sleeve, as to the locking ball, to translate to an open position to fluidly couple the inlet with the outlet.

    Abstract: An improved burst disc assembly for use in pressure relief conduits for high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum containment vessels, the assembly having a body with inlet and outlet openings connected by an internal passage, a burst disc disposed within the internal passage and connected therein to hermetically isolate the inlet and outlet openings. The assembly further has a mounting structure connected to the body and outwardly extending therefrom that may be clamped between adjacent faces of a pair of metal seal flanges provided in the relief conduit to secure the assembly in position and hermetically seal the assembly in the conduit in a manner prohibit the passage of gas molecules from the surrounding environment into the containment vessel through the relief conduit. The mounting structure is formed from a soft metal material having substantially lower hardness value than that of the metal seal flange faces to enable adequate sealing. The connection between the mounting structure and the body further provides similar hermetic seal. Upon rupture of the burst disc, the assembly alone must be replaced while the metal seal flanges connecting the burst disc assembly to the containment vessel may be reused.

    Abstract: A bursting disc with a flange area for attachment to an edge of an opening in a wall of a ventilation system, the central area adjacent the flange area along a predetermined breaking line equipped with thermal insulation on the bursting disc side which stretches at least not across the mounting element of the flange area so a niche is formed, bordered by the flange area and the thermal insulation on the bursting disc side. A bursting disc arrangement in which the bursting disc is mounted at the edge of an opening in a wall of a ventilation system and closes the opening, the wall equipped with thermal insulation on the system side which stretches to the flange area of the bursting disc, a gap corresponding to the niche is formed between at least one thermal insulation on the bursting disc side and the thermal insulation on the system side.
