Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic system of the type in which a pump unit supplies pressurized fluid to a plurality of bidirectional servomotors. The system includes at least two modules each of which includes a bidirectional servomotor, a control valve and a compensating valve on the upstream side of the control valve.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus having a burner and a heat exchanger wherein between a hollow cylinder provided with an end wall and a concentric insert there is formed an annular gap which is free from integers and in which the combustion gases flow from the burner to the outlet. The object is to provide apparatus which permits a starting phase with a pure flame and without pulsations and wherein at the same time the lower power limit can be considerably reduced. This object is achieved by providing in the end of the insert facing the end wall with an annular end wall and a central burner for gasified liquid or gaseous fuel centrally disposed in the insert. A burner having a heatable central fuel preparing chamber and a passage system for the air of combustion with a concentric mouth, and a burner tube as an extension of the insert terminates at a spacing from the end wall of the hollow cylinder.

Abstract: The invention relates to a valve for volatile liquids such as an expansion valve for a refrigeration plant. Magnetic valves of this type have a plunger actuated closure member which controls a small throttle opening which functions to vaporize the cooling liquid. The valve action can be noisy and damping chambers have been provided for damping the movement of the plunger. As disclosed herein such a damping chamber is disposed in the flow path downstream from the throttle opening where a cooling vaporization occurs and the cooling vaporization is effective to minimize vaporization in the damping chamber which would otherwise reduce the effectiveness of the damping chamber.
