  • Patent number: 10247590
    Abstract: A balancing valve for adjusting the flow rate of a fluid flowing inside a pipe from upstream to downstream in a longitudinal direction of flow. The balancing valve includes: a check valve and a tubular element simulating a Venturi tube, said valve and element being coaxially connected, respectively, from upstream to downstream in the longitudinal direction of flow of the fluid; a device for detecting the difference in pressure which occurs inside the valve; a valve for adjusting the flow rate of the fluid which flows inside the pipe; wherein: the detection device is arranged between the inside of a first upstream chamber of the check valve and the inside of a central cylindrical portion of the tubular element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10197073
    Abstract: An axial differential pressure control valve (DPCV) having an annular body, a tubular body, a coaxial closing member for closing an outlet aperture for exit of the fluid from the tubular body, sealing separation means arranged between first and second chambers containing the return fluid and the delivery fluid, respectively, said separation means being movable axially upon activation of a thrust due to a pressure differential ?P=P1?P2 and to the spring, wherein the closing member is fixed, and further comprising pins axially arranged between the ring nut and the abutment flange of the spring, wherein the pins pass through the pipefitting so as to come into contact with the said abutment flange and are designed to be displaced axially upon operation of the ring nut independently of the fixed closing member, so as to vary the compression of the spring.
