Abstract:
A cryogenic valve comprises a valve body, a plug, an actuator, a kinematic chain comprising a driving member displaced by the actuator, and a transmission structure transmitting the movement of the driving member to the plug. A tubular bellows is arranged around the transmission structure and has internal corrugations protruding toward an interior of the tubular bellows Protections made of a material with a low coefficient of friction, are placed inside the tubular bellows on the internal corrugations. The protections are displaced with the internal corrugations along an axis of displacement when the driving member is displaced along the axis of displacement.
Abstract:
A valve for flowable media having a valve housing and an elongate closure member arranged therein and which can be axially moved in a medium channel of the valve by a controllable actuator and which in a closed position abuts a valve seat and closes a discharge opening connected to the medium channel, and which is connected to a sealing element to seal the medium channel, namely, a part-piece of an elongate bellows, which moves in an axial direction during movements of the closure member and which is a hollow member made of metal, wherein another part-piece of the bellows is fixedly supported in the valve. The relative axial position between the bellows and the valve seat is adapted to a production-related deviation of the longitudinal dimension of the bellows used from a desired longitudinal dimension so that this deviation is compensated for.
Abstract:
A valve device has a housing, and a flow channel running in the housing, in which a valve flap is fastened on a shaft arranged perpendicularly to the flow direction. The shaft is rotatably mounted in housing. The bearing formed as a loose bearing is surrounded by a spring retainer, the base of which lies on a bearing bush of the loose bearing and has a jacket surface with a radial wavy shape.
Abstract:
A cooled isolation valve includes a valve body, a stationary element coupled to the valve body, and a movable closure element movable with respect to the stationary element between a closed position in which the movable closure element and the stationary element are brought together and an open position. One of the movable closure element and the stationary element includes a sealing element. In the closed position of the movable closure element, the sealing element provides a seal between the movable closure element and the stationary element. A fluid channel is formed in contact with the movable closure element and movable with the movable closure element with respect to the stationary element, such that a fluid in the fluid channel effects heat transfer in the movable closure element. A bellows of the isolation valve can include a metallic substrate with a ceramic coating.
Abstract:
Liquid dispensing tap 1 connectable to a liquid container 70, e.g. a bag in box, for controlled dispensing of a liquid therefrom. The tap includes a housing 10 forming an inlet of the tap and including a dispensing chamber wall portion 13 delimiting a dispensing chamber 14 with a valve seat 15 at an axial end and forming a dispensing outlet 17 in communication with the dispensing chamber 14. The tap 1 includes a plunger 30 with a stem 31 and a valve portion 32. The stem having an actuator engagement portion 33 outside the dispensing chamber and extending along an axis 15 through a bore 18 in the dispensing chamber wall portion and throughout the dispensing chamber. The plunger moves axially between a closed and an open position. A manually operable plunger actuator 50 engages the engagement portion of the stem to open the tap.
Abstract:
A valve assembly for an injection valve may include a valve body including a central longitudinal axis, the valve body having a cavity with a fluid inlet portion and a fluid outlet portion, and a chamber, with an electro-magnetic actuator unit arranged in the chamber, and a valve needle axially movable in the cavity, the valve needle preventing a fluid flow through the fluid outlet portion in a closing position and releasing the fluid flow through the fluid outlet portion in further positions. The valve needle is designed to be actuated by the electro-magnetic actuator unit. A bellows arranged between the valve body and the valve needle is sealingly coupled to the valve body and to the valve needle. The bellows prevents a fluid flow between the cavity and the chamber. An injection valve comprising such a valve assembly is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A gas inlet valve with incompatible materials isolation is provided. The valve may include a piston that seals against a surface when in a closed position and that permits gas to flow through the valve and out the outlet port when in an open position. A bellows may protect the actuation mechanism of the piston from gas that may be present in the valve when the valve is in the open or closed position, and the piston may include a second seal interface that seals the bellows off from the gas flow area when the valve is in the open or closed position.
Abstract:
An apparatus for distributing a filling product includes a filling valve for liquids, a closure element, and an actuator. The filling valve is configured for opening and closing a distribution or flow opening by linearly displacing the closure element. The valve comprises a valve chamber in which the closure element is arranged. The actuator, which is arranged within a constant volume arranged within the valve chamber, influences movement of the closure element.
Abstract:
A valve for controlling fluid flow from an inlet of a pipe fitting to at least one outlet of the pipe fitting at an angle to the inlet. The pipe fitting includes an inner collapsible bellows fixed at a position opposite the inlet. The bellows has a support annulus at the other end adjacent the inlet, whereby, in a closed position, the bellows prevents fluid flow from the inlet to the at least one outlet as the fluid is trapped within the bellows. In an open position, the fluid can flow from the inlet to the at least one outlet when the bellows is collapsed.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a housing, a body defining a first chamber and an elongate actuator member mounted for reciprocal movement, at least a part of the actuator member being enclosed by the housing. The apparatus further comprises a seal compartment between the first chamber and a compartment of the housing, the actuator member extending from the housing to the first chamber through the seal compartment. The seal compartment comprises a fluid filled seal chamber enclosing at least a portion of the actuator member and located within the housing, wherein a volume comprising a volume between the fluid filled seal chamber and the actuator member remains substantially constant during movement of the actuator member.
