Patent number: 10711735Abstract: An arrangement is provided for use with an internal combustion engine. The arrangement includes an intake tract for the internal combustion engine and a valve that is fluidly connected to the intake tract. An activated carbon filter is located upstream from the intake tract and the valve. The valve is connected to the carbon filter by an intake line. When the valve is open, fluid can flow from the activated carbon filter into the intake tract. A pressure sensor measures upstream pressure (p1) in the intake line. A pump helps generate the pressure (p1) in the intake line. The valve is connected to the intake tract so they cooperate together to form a cavity that is connected to the intake line such that when the valve is closed, the pressure in the cavity is the pressure (p1).Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2019Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Eagle Actuator Components GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Marc Schwinn, Volker Daume, Lukas Göcke

Patent number: 8220775Abstract: A flow connector for a valve, including a body in which a flow channel is formed that is made up of a first port, a second port and an opening area to receive a movable plug, whereby the ports can be flow-connected through the opening area. The valve having a flow connector is configured and refined in such a way that the volume of fluid that flows through the flow channel per unit of time can be set without any problem wherein the cross section surface area of the flow channel in the opening area is configured to be constant along a first height of lift and to be variable along a second height of lift. A solenoid valve includes the flow connector according to an embodiment of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2008Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Eagle Actuator Components GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7770598Abstract: A valve includes a housing having an inlet (3), an outlet (1) and a movable sealing member (2) which allows the inlet (3) and the outlet (1) to be connected in fluid communication with each other, the sealing member (2) having associated therewith effective areas (4b) to which pressure can be applied, and sealing areas (4), and the sealing member (2) further having associated therewith a sealing seat (4a) for sealing the inlet (3) from the outlet (1). In order to provide a valve by which pressure can be relieved in a very short time, the sealing member (2) has associated therewith a conduit (2a) by which the inlet (3) and the outlet (1) can be connected in fluid communication with each other when the sealing member (2) rests on the sealing seat (4a).Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2007Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Carl Freudenberg KGInventors: Joerg Bittner, Torsten Gerlich, Volker Daume, Stefan Hettinger, Klaus Bickel
