  • Publication number: 20250067345
    Abstract: In some examples, a pressure reducing valve includes a valve body defining a defining a flow path and a restricting element within the flow path. A sensing element is configured to modify a position of the restricting element in the flow path. A pressure chamber is configured to transmit a force to the sensing element based on the pressure of a fluid within the pressure chamber. An energy accumulator is in fluid communication with the pressure chamber. The pressure reducing valve includes control circuitry configured to enable a fluid to flow into or discharge from the pressure chamber to alter the pressure in the pressure chamber.

  • Patent number: 11359742
    Abstract: A pressure reducing valve and a method for operating the pressure reducing valve. The pressure reducing valve may be used in a potable water system. The pressure reducing valve can be used for gaseous media and liquid media. Preferably, the pressure reducing valve is intended for use with liquid media, most preferably for potable water.
