Abstract:
The present invention relates to a water piping system, and more particularly, to a water piping system configured to reduce slam and water hammer of a check valve through delay of backflow of fluid by ejecting water stored in a pressure tank to a fluid forward direction at a high pressure when a pump in the water pipe is suddenly stopped, and through inducement of complete closure of the check valve by reducing a pressure applied to the check valve.

Abstract:
A damping device, in particular for damping or avoiding pressure surges, such as pulses, in hydraulic supply circuits, preferably in the form of a silencer, having a damping housing which surrounds a damping chamber and has at least one fluid inlet (3) and at least one fluid outlet (5) and a fluid receiving chamber (7) which extends between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, wherein, during operation of the device, a fluid flow crosses the damping chamber in a throughflow direction (11), coming from the fluid inlet (3) in the direction of the fluid outlet (5), and wherein at least parts of the fluid receiving chamber (7) extend in at least one extent direction transversely with respect to the throughflow direction (11), is characterized in that the fluid receiving chamber immediately adjoins the fluid inlet (3) and the fluid outlet (5) and in that a guide element (51) is provided in the damping chamber, the fluid flow being able to flow against the guide element and the guide element changing the flow speed of the flow at least in sections.
Abstract:
A method is provided for actively compensating for pressure changes of a working fluid within a conduit. A first cavity is provided in fluid communication with the conduit. A second cavity is in fluid communication with a control fluid. A plunger is in communication with both the first cavity and the second cavity and is movable in response to pressure changes of the working fluid in the conduit. The plunger is re-centered. Re-centering the plunger includes the following steps. Position data representative of movement of the plunger is collected. The position data is analyzed with a control unit to determine an average position of the plunger which is offset relative to a center position. The average position of the plunger is compared, with a control unit, to the center position. A signal is relayed from the control unit to a control valve to urge the plunger toward the center position.
Abstract:
A hydraulic unit for a slip control system of a hydraulic vehicle brake system comprises a hydraulic block including a socket, a first port, a pressure change damper, and a second port. The socket has a base and defining a first interior. The first port is located at the base of the socket. The pressure change damper defines a second interior and is positioned in the socket in engagement with the first port. The first port is in fluidic communication with the second interior. The second port is in fluidic communication with the second interior via a portion of the first interior outside of the pressure change damper.

Abstract:
A damping device, in particular, for damping or preventing pressure shocks, such as pulsations, in hydraulic supply circuits, preferably in the form of a silencer, having a damping housing (1) surrounding a damping chamber (19), which includes at least one fluid inlet (11) and at least one fluid outlet (13), as well as a fluid receiving chamber (19) extending between the fluid inlet and fluid outlet, wherein, during operation of the device, a fluid flow coming from the fluid inlet (11) in a through-flow direction (15) traverses the damping chamber (19) in the direction of the fluid outlet (13), and wherein at least parts of the fluid receiving chamber (19) extend in at least one direction of extension transverse to the through-flow direction (15), is characterized in that the fluid receiving chamber (19) is located directly adjacent to the fluid inlet (11) and the fluid outlet (13).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of controlling pressure maintenance equipment for a cooling and heating system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of operating and controlling, under optimum conditions, pressure maintenance equipment with multiple sensors so as to check for irregularities in the sensors which measure the same physical parameter. In the present invention, measurement values of two or more sensors are used to detect whether an abnormality has occurred in any sensor. If a sensor is determined to be abnormal, a measurement value of the abnormal sensor is excluded when determining a reference control value. Thereby, the pressure can be precisely and reliably controlled in response to actual conditions of the system.
