摘要:
A method for calculating the remaining usage time of a gas cylinder equipped with a pressure reducer, the method comprising the following steps: (a) measuring the pressure of the gas in the cylin-der; (b) calculating the variation of pressure of the gas in the cylinder over time while gas is out-putted; (c) calculating a remaining usage time Tr based on the measured pressure in the cylinder and the calculated variation of pressure. Step (c) takes into account characteristics of the pressure reducer relative to variations of its nominal flow rate along the decrease of its inlet pressure while emptying the cylinder.

A device for regulating the pressure and/or flow of pressurized gas, comprising a body with a gas inlet, a gas outlet and a gas passage connecting the outlet with the inlet, a pressure reducer and a flow selector arranged downstream of the pressure reducer, a hand-wheel rotatably mounted on the body and cooperating with the flow selector for adjusting the flow, and a pressure indicator located at the center of the hand-wheel. The device comprises also a shaft rigidly fixed to the body and rotatably bearing the hand-wheel, the shaft supporting the pressure reducer and comprising a gas channel fluidly connected to the gas passage in the body.

The invention relates to a device for regulating the flow rate and/or pressure of a fluid, such as valve for a pressure gas cylinder, comprising a reducing valve including a first plug designed to be moved in the normal flow direction of the fluid during closure. The reducing valve also comprises a plunger to which the plug is coupled. The face of the plunger that is oriented towards the first plug defines a regulation chamber together with the body. The aforementioned face also comprises a seal that engages with a corresponding surface of the body such as to form a second plug for maintaining residual pressure. The regulation device also comprises a means for preloading and releasing a spring acting on the opposite face of the plunger.

A pressure reducer includes a housing with an axially displaceable biased control body in order to close a connection between an inlet and an expansion chamber, where the housing is equipped with an axially displaceable biased actuating piston in order to displace the control body against the spring load of the control body as a function of the pressure in the expansion chamber and to open the connection, the housing being made of plastic, and the pressure reducer includes a separately made insert, where the insert is fixed between the inlet and the expansion chamber in the plastic housing and said insert has a guide bore, which is connected to the inlet and supports the control body, and a connecting bore, which adjoins the guide bore and which opens into the expansion chamber, where the insert forms an annular shoulder surface between the connecting bore and the guide bore, said shoulder surface interacting as a seating surface with the seal on the control body.

The invention relates to a cylinder valve pressurized gas. The body of the valve includes a gas inlet, a gas outlet (not shown) and a passage connecting the inlet to the outlet. The valve also includes a closing/opening valve (FIG. 2), a pressure reducer and a device for reducing or closing the gas passage between said valve and a pressure reducer. The device includes an element that is made of shape-memory alloy and positioned in a cavity of the passage. The element includes an active deformable portion, the circular outer edge of which is capable of engaging with the inner surface of the cavity in order to close the passage following a rise in temperature caused by combustion. The combustion can be generated by adiabatic compression during the opening of the valve.

A fire extinguisher (50, 50′, 50′) comprises a container (10, 10′) that holds a fire-extinguishing substance and that has a container jacket (12, 12′) closed at both ends, and a piston (20, 20′) which is axially displaceable in the container jacket and which separates a space (22, 22′) for fire-extinguishing substance from an expansion space (24, 24′) in the container. According to the invention, an inner compressed-gas chamber (26, 26′) provided in the container (10, 10′) is spatially separate from the expansion space and serves for controlled pressurizing of the expansion space (24, 24′). The piston (20, 20′) is arranged such that it can be displaced along the compressed-gas chamber (26, 26′).
摘要:
A sealed flange joint for high pressure and/or high purity fluid channels includes a first flange with a first fluid channel and a cylindrical front cavity. The front cavity is axially delimited by a ground surface and radially by a peripheral surface. The first fluid channel passes axially through the first flange to open into the ground surface. A polymer seal ring has a radial outer surface and a radial inner surface, and is fitted into the cylindrical front cavity so that its radial outer surface engages the peripheral surface of the front cavity. A second flange is removably fixed onto the first flange, and has a second fluid channel in axial continuation of the first fluid channel. The second flange has an axially protruding cylindrical front nipple with a conical head, the second fluid channel axially opening into an end surface of the conical head. The conical head engages the radial inner surface of the seal ring to radially press the latter with its radial outer surface against the peripheral surface of the front cavity.
