Abstract:
A mix manifold (16) includes a plurality of valves to control the flow of material therethrough. First and second valves (36a, 36b) are linked for simultaneous actuation. The first and second valves each include valve members (56a, 56b) disposed within and rotatable relative to seal bodies (58a, 58b). The valve members seal against the seal bodies and the seal bodies seal against the manifold. A solvent valve (36c) also includes a valve member (56c) in a seal body (58c). The first and second valves are configured to open only when the solvent valve is closed. The solvent valve is configured to open only when the first and second valves are closed. The solvent valve can rotate between a plurality of positions to control the flow of solvent to flowpaths downstream of the first and second valves.
Abstract:
A self-compensated sealed rotary cone valve core, comprising a valve sleeve, wherein an upper part of the valve sleeve is provided with an axial through hole; a lower chamber of the valve sleeve is provided with a conical surface coaxial with the axial through hole; an inlet cavity is formed in the cone platform; a through hole communicated with a water outlet in a side wall of the lower part of the valve sleeve is formed in a side wall of the inlet cavity; a screw rod part of the core shaft penetrating through the valve sleeve is sequentially sleeved by a limiting piece and a spring gasket and is locked by a screw nut to realize pre-tightening sealing and rotary positioning with the valve sleeve. The valve core is simple in structure and convenient to process and mount, self-sealing and wear self-compensation can be achieved.
Abstract:
A method of refurbishing a damaged valve is disclosed that generally includes receiving a valve housing having generally collinear inlet and outlet ports in the side walls thereof and an interior annular face about each of the inlet and outlet ports, the housing comprising a first metal with a yield strength and the side walls having a predetermined thickness, creating an annular groove about an interior annular face of the inlet port, creating an annular groove about an interior annular face of the outlet port, and placing a second metal within each of the annular grooves, the second metal having a yield strength, wherein the yield strength of the first metal is less than the yield strength of the second metal.
Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a valve comprises: a valve member, wherein the valve member is made from a non-deformable material; a seat, wherein the seat: (A) is made from a non-deformable material; and (B) is positioned adjacent to the valve member; a seal, wherein the seal is created by the interaction between at least a portion of the seat and at least a portion of the valve member and a sealant; and at least one recess, wherein the at least one recess: (A) is located on the inside of the seat or the outside of the valve member; and (B) is capable of containing at least one particulate, wherein the valve is capable of being opened or closed via relative movement of the valve member and the seat.
Abstract:
This invention provides a valve consisting of a body and rotatable valve member, both of which are made of plastic, the valve body having a passageway intersected by a frustoconical opening which receives the valve member. The valve member is rotatable for controlling the flow through the passageway, the rotation being accomplished by engaging a recess in the outer end of the valve member. The body includes an outwardly deflectable shoulder that fits over the outer end of the valve member to hold the valve member in the body. The valve member is made to a greater major diameter than that of the opening in the valve body to provide an interference fit. Deep annular grooves around the valve opening provide a thin wall for the valve body around the opening, allowing distortion-free molding of the valve body.
Abstract:
A valve with a plug with an outer surface of a resilient, lowfriction material. The plug has circumferential bearing and sealing surfaces around the top and bottom thereof on the nominal plug taper, and on each side intermediate its flow ports, a pair of spaced, narrow sealing strips also on the nominal conical surface of the plug extending between, and merging with, the circumferential bearing surfaces. When the plug is in closed position, the sealing strips and surfaces seal around the top and bottom of the plug and body, and on opposite sides of the body port.
