    Date of Patent: September 17, 2019
    Assignee: HydroNovation, Inc.
    Inventors: Edward Smallhorn, Ramandeep Mehmi
  • Patent number: 9790101
    Abstract: A valve assembly for controlling fluid flow is provided. The valve assembly includes a housing having a first chamber and a second chamber, an actuator assembly configured to move between a first position and a second position within the first and second chambers, a plurality of fluid ports in fluid communication with the first chamber, and a plurality of fluid ports in fluid communication with the second chamber. The first position of the actuator assembly defines a first series of fluid flowpaths through the plurality of fluid ports of the first and second chambers. The second position of the actuator assembly defines a second series of fluid flowpaths through the plurality of fluid ports of the first and second chambers.

  • Patent number: 4576204
    Abstract: A laminar flow element for use in a cylindrical fluid flow passage for restricting the flow of fluid through that passage to a constant volume flow rate. The element comprises a body portion having a cylindrical peripheral surface of predetermined length and predetermined diameter, with the surface defining with the passage an annular, tubular fluid passageway. Locating portions are provided extending from the element for engagement with at least one surface in the cylindrical passage for maintaining the peripheral surface concentrically disposed within the cylindrical passage. The length and diameter of the element are dimensioned so that the flow is laminar under all operating conditions, and therefore the volume rate of flow of fluid through the passage is linearly proportional to the pressure drop along the annular passage.
