摘要: In some examples, a pressure reducing valve includes a valve body defining a defining a flow path and a restricting element within the flow path. A sensing element is configured to modify a position of the restricting element in the flow path. The sensing element defines a first area in fluid communication with the flow path and a second area fluidly isolated from the flow path. The pressure reducing valve includes control circuitry configured to determine a differential pressure over a section of the flow path, determine a position of the restricting element, and determine a flow rate based on the differential pressure and the position of the restricting element.

摘要: A PRV is provided, comprising an inlet, an outlet, and a pressure regulating system therebetween to maintain a set pressure at the outlet. The PRV further comprises a selection system configured to select between the two working pressures based on the pressure of the fluid at the inlet of the PRV, and to direct the pressure regulating system to maintain the set pressure at the outlet at the selected working pressure. The selection system comprises a pressure-motion transducer for directing the set pressure when in pressure communication with the inlet, and an auxiliary valve having an auxiliary inlet in pressure communication with the inlet and an auxiliary outlet in pressure communication with the pressure-motion transducer. The auxiliary valve is configured to establish pressure communication between its inlet and outlet when pressure in the inlet traverses a predetermined threshold.

摘要: A control system for controlling the storage of metabolically active produce in a defined confined environment. The control system comprises gas analyzing and pressure measurement means including a control unit for determining an adjusted gas medium composition of the confined environment for protecting the produce against metabolic degradation. An operating/actuating means for adapting the gas medium in the confined storage environment is based on the determined adjusted gas medium composition. The control unit is adapted for determining the adjusted gas medium composition based on a mathematical model of the system that determines a metabolic coefficient of the produce by combining measured changes of gas composition in the confined environment with dynamic pressure changes in the confined space. The value of the metabolic coefficient is used as input for a control algorithm to continuously adjust the gas composition in the confined space in response to the metabolic activity of the produce.

摘要: A dome pressure regulator for regulating gas pressure, having a housing (1), a fixed valve seat (10), a movable valve body (8), a closing spring (9) acting on the valve body (8), and a diaphragm (4) which is connected to the valve body (8) and which is able to be subjected to a control pressure, settable via a gas pressure spring, in the opening direction and to a secondary pressure in the closing direction. The object of the invention is to detect state parameters of the system and to integrate continuous functionality checking and logging of the collected measurement values into the pressure regulator. In order to achieve said object, the invention proposes at least one travel sensor (15), by way of which the stroke of the valve body (8) is measurable, and a sensor-system evaluation unit (17) integrated into the housing.

摘要: A pressure regulator includes a valve body that defines an inlet and an outlet for a fluid flow through the valve body, a poppet that is moveable within the valve body between an open position and a closed position to control the fluid flow from the inlet to the outlet, and a pressure regulating mechanism that controls a position of the poppet between the open and closed positions. The pressure regulating mechanism includes a diaphragm and a compression spring, and a force balance between the diaphragm and the compression spring determines the position of the poppet. The pressure regulating mechanism further includes a static pressure tap configured to apply a static pressure to the diaphragm, and a dynamic pressure tap configured to apply a dynamic pressure to the diaphragm. The dynamic pressure tap is located at an annular opening adjacent to the poppet, and an area of the annular opening varies with the position of the poppet to vary the dynamic pressure applied to the diaphragm.

摘要: An electronic device and a method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a sensor, a memory, a processor, and a communication interface. The sensor is configured to detected vibrations of a gas pressure regulator. The memory is configured to store the detected vibrations. The processor is configured to record the detected vibrations caused by the gas pressure regulator at a predetermined time interval. The processor is also configured to generate a report of the recorded vibrations caused by the gas pressure regulator to indicate the operational status of the gas pressure regulator, wherein the generated report includes at least two recorded vibrations. The communication interface configured to transmit the generated report.

摘要: A pressure regulator, said pressure regulator comprising a housing containing a channel arranged to communicate a fluid from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet, said channel comprising a valve seat housing, a valve seat and closure member with said closure member operable with the valve seat and valve seat housing to control flow through the channel; wherein the housing comprises a resilient diaphragm in fluid communication with the fluid and in physical communication with the closure member such that the diaphragm is operable to deform in response to a change in pressure of the fluid and such that deformation of the diaphragm causes the closure member to change position, and; wherein the section of the diaphragm not in fluid communication with the channel, is in fluid communication with the exterior of the regulator via a vent aperture and; wherein the closure member comprises an upstream valve element and downstream valve element, wherein the downstream valve element is a ridge operable with an aperture in the valve seat housing to at least partially control fluid flow, wherein said ridge of the closure member is partially or fully inside said aperture in the valve seat housing when the upstream valve element of the closure member is at or between the fully open position and a predetermined partially open position with the valve seat, to provide a restriction to fluid flow but not to fully obstruct flow.

摘要: A novel and improved inventive valve with a regulating function is provided that is capable of filling to higher fill pressures than previously attainable with conventional C-10 “on-off” valves. The valve contains a single flow passageway by which gas dispenses and enters the valve. A fill adapter is specially configured to engage the valve to allow filling at the higher pressures along the single flow passageway. The structure of the valve allows greater utilization of cylinder capacity; simplifies filling and dispensing with the single flow passageway; and allows for regulating gas pressure during delivery without increasing the overall size of the cylinder package.

摘要: A pressure regulator includes a housing having an inlet cap with an inlet flow passage and an outlet cap with an outlet flow passage. A plunger is reciprocally mounted in the housing. A stationary regulator valve seat is disposed between the inlet flow passage and an inlet to the plunger. A drain check shuttle is disposed in the inlet cap and positioned downstream of the regulator valve seat to prevent water from draining out of the regulator when an inlet water pressure is below a predetermined threshold.

摘要: An apparatus includes a safety shut-off valve for use with a gas regulator. The safety shut-off valve includes a housing, a valve rod, a vent chamber, and a vent line. The housing includes an interior chamber configured to regulated pressure in a fluid. The valve rod is disposed in the housing and controls a valve for interrupting the fluid in the internal chamber. The vent chamber receives ambient air and maintains pressure equalization of the ambient air and the fluid within a maximum pressure of the fluid. The vent line is disposed in a center of the valve rod and provides fluid communication of the ambient air between the vent chamber and an outside of the housing.
