    摘要: An isolation mounting arm for use with an expansion tank has a passageway with a first end portion, a second end portion, and a medial portion located between the first end portion and the second end portion with the drain port located at the terminal end of the second end portion. A first tee is located in the first end portion with oppositely disposed first and second ports. A second tee is located in the second end portion, with oppositely disposed fourth and fifth ports. A first valve member is coupled to the first port, a second valve member is coupled to the second port, and a third valve member is located adjacent to the drain port. An expansion tank is coupled to either the fourth port or the fifth port with a plug coupled to the other port.

    摘要: Methods, devices, and systems are described for a system including a rotation motor configured to rotate a valve seal holder, the valve seal holder having at least one pass-through interface and closed-off interface, a camshaft coupled to the valve seal holder, and a controller communicatively coupled to the rotation motor and the camshaft. The controller is configured to separate at least one of the pass-through interface or the closed-off interface of the valve seal holder from the seat configured to interface with the external system. The controller is configured to rotate, using the rotation motor, the valve seal holder until at least one of the pass-through interface or the closed-off interface is aligned with the seat. The controller is configured to compress the at least one of the pass-through interface or the closed-off interface against the seat to create a seal over the seat.

    摘要: A valve assembly comprising a housing having a cavity and including a port forming an opening in the cavity, and a piezoelectric assembly disposed at least partially in the cavity. The piezoelectric assembly comprises an elongated piezoelectric layer, a sealing pad, and an electrical contact. The electrical contact is configured to receive a voltage signal, and when the piezoelectric assembly receives the voltage signal at the electrical contact the piezoelectric layer deforms to cause the sealing pad to selectively seal or unseal the port.
