  • Patent number: 11098820
    Abstract: Three-way valve drivable by a pump, switchable between at least two switch positions wherein a first port is selectively in fluid communication with a second port or with a third port. The three-way valve comprises a movable support and a pair of obstructing members carried by the movable support, at least one of which is responsive to the pressure applied by the pump at the first port, at least one of the movable support and obstructing members being movable due to transitions between an off-state and an on-state of the circulation pump. The obstructing members are adapted to engage reciprocatingly the respective seats of the three-way valve. The obstructing members are capable of changing shape synchronously when the pump switches from the off-state to the on-state.

  • Publication number: 20200263880
    Abstract: Hydraulic system comprising a three-way valve, the three-way valve comprising a first port for the connection to a primary heat exchanger through the circulation pump, a second port and a third port for connection to the heating circuit and to a secondary heat exchanger, respectively. The three-way valve is switchable between two positions in which the first port is in fluid communication with the second port or with the third port. The three-way valve is responsive to the pressure applied by a circulation pump, and has a displaceable obstructing member that may be moved due to transitions between an off-state and an on-state of the circulation pump. The obstructing member comprises a pair of sealing surfaces facing away from each other and suitable to engage reciprocatingly respective opposed seats of the three-way valve.

  • Patent number: 10119723
    Abstract: The heat exchanger (1) comprises a helical flow conduit (8) for a liquid, made with a pipe (9) of extruded thermally conductive material, provided with a pair of facing and mutually parallel fins (13), which extend from a portion of the outer surface thereof. This pipe (9) is helically wound about a longitudinal axis (A-A) such as to form a sequence of adjacent turns (10) separated by interspaces (11) through which, during use, hot gases, in particular combustion fumes, flow. The fins (13) extend helically, towards the outside relative to the axis (A-A) of the helical conduit (8), and have respective pluralities of through-openings (20, 21) which interconnect the region (16) comprised between them and the interspaces (11, 14) defined with respect to the adjacent turns (10). Flow paths are thus defined through these fins (13), outside the helical conduit (9), for the hot gases which during use pass through the interspaces (11, 14) between the turns of the helical conduit (8).

  • Patent number: 9562641
    Abstract: The system (1) comprises: a tubular interface formation (3) fixed or able to be fixed to a receiving body (C) and having a plurality of shaped retaining lugs (4) angularly spaced around its axis (A-A) and protruding axially and radially towards the outside; a tubular fastening member (6) in which the tube (2) can be pre-inserted axially and which has a plurality of external peripheral coupling elements (15) angularly spaced around its axis (A-A) and each able to engage with a corresponding retaining lug (4) of the interface formation (3), in a mutually axially retaining relationship.
