摘要:
A solenoid-operated cutoff valve for use with fuel cells has a movable member disposed in a guide housing for displacement upon energization of a solenoid. When the movable member is displaced, a pilot valve is unseated from a pilot valve seat. A fluid in a communication chamber flows through a pilot passage into an output port. The communication chamber is divided into a first communication chamber and a second communication chamber by a diaphragm. Under a pressure difference developed between the first communication chamber and the second communication chamber, a main valve of a valve head is unseated from a valve seat of a valve housing, opening the solenoid-operated cutoff valve.

A variable flow-rate ejector for precisely controlling the flow rate based on pressure is disclosed. The ejector has a simple mechanical structure which comprises a nozzle for ejecting a first fluid; a diffuser into which a second fluid is drawn due to a negative pressure produced around the first fluid, where the first and second fluids are merged; a third-fluid chamber formed by first and second diaphragms attached to the needle, and the body of the ejector; and a fourth-fluid chamber formed by the second diaphragm and the body. The area of an opening around the needle in the opening at the head of the nozzle is changed by displacement of the needle along the central axis according to movement of first and second diaphragms which move in accordance with the pressure produced by the first fluid, the third fluid, and the fourth fluid.
