  • Patent number: 8695620
    Abstract: A flush valve for a waste water system comprises a valve including a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet and a main valve element adapted for movement to allow fluid flow between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet based on a pressure differential across a portion of the main valve element. The valve also includes a vent system comprising a control chamber in flow communication with the fluid inlet of the valve and a vent outlet in flow communication with the fluid outlet of the valve, and a solenoid for venting fluid venting fluid from the control chamber to the fluid outlet. A pressure sensor, such as an electronic pressure transducer, senses the fluid pressure of fluid within the vent system. When a predetermined pressure threshold is reached or exceeded, the solenoid can be energized to release fluid from the control chamber.

  • Patent number: 8490646
    Abstract: A flush valve for a waste water system includes a valve body and a vent system. The valve includes a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet and a main valve element extending therebetween and adapted for movement to allow fluid flow therethrough based on a pressure differential across a portion of the main valve element. The vent system includes a control chamber, in flow communication with the fluid inlet of the valve and a vent outlet in flow communication with the fluid outlet of the valve. The flush valve further includes a relief system including a relief chamber with a relief inlet in flow communication with the control chamber and a relief outlet in flow communication with the vent outlet. A mechanical relief device is configured to open and close the relief inlet based on a predetermined fluid pressure at the relief inlet, thereby venting fluid from the control chamber to the vent outlet.
