  • Patent number: 10976118
    Abstract: A flow control device includes a body and a flow control element. The body includes a thermal conditioning passage disposed within a side wall, disconnected from a flow passage, and extending between a first conditioning port and a second conditioning port. The thermal conditioning passage has a first portion extending circumferentially around a first circumferential portion of the interior surface of the flow passage, a second portion axially spaced from the first portion by a first axial U-shaped bend and extending circumferentially around the first circumferential portion and a second circumferential portion of the interior surface of the flow passage to form a first circumferential U-shaped bend, and a third portion axially spaced from the second portion by a second axial U-shaped bend and extending circumferentially around the second circumferential portion of the interior surface of the flow passage.

  • Patent number: 10648749
    Abstract: A flow control device includes a body having an upper portion defining a flow passage extending axially along a primary axis between a first end port and a second end port, the flow passage defining a central cavity between the first and second end ports, and a lower portion defining an axially extending thermal conditioning inlet port and an axially extending thermal conditioning outlet port. A flow control element is disposed in the central cavity and movable to control fluid flow between the first end port and the second end port. The body further includes a thermal conditioning passage having a first vertical portion extending from the thermal conditioning inlet port into the upper portion of the body, a circumferential portion extending from the first vertical portion circumferentially around at least a portion of the flow passage, and a second vertical portion extending vertically from the circumferential portion to the thermal conditioning outlet port.
