  • Patent number: 9416890
    Abstract: A flow control valve (1) and a method for assembling a flow control valve (1) are disclosed. The flow control valve (1) comprises a first housing part (2) and a second housing part (3) attached directly to each other, in such a manner that the first housing part (2) and the second housing part (3) form a substantially closed housing. The first housing part (2) defines a first flow section (4), a second flow section (5), a connecting port (6) fluidly interconnecting the first flow section (4) and the second flow section (5), and a valve seat (7) arranged at the connecting port (6). The flow control valve (1) further comprises a frame part (9) arranged in an interior part of the housing formed by the first housing part (2) and the second housing part (3), the frame part (9) having mounted thereon a valve element (10, 13) arranged movably relative to the valve seat (7), a moving mechanism, e.g. including a spindle (12), for moving the valve element (10, 13), and an actuating mechanism, e.g.

  • Patent number: 9263891
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system to reduce losses of energy due to ripples, especially at the power grid, the ripples being short term power shortages or excess power. The method is based on the idea of shutting off energy consuming devices during a period of power shortage, if their operation is not necessary, and optionally to turn on such energy consuming devices during periods of excess power, if energy may be stored in them, especially when energy may be stored as some physical parameter or variable, being a part of the operation of the energy consuming devices, such as the temperature of a freezer.

  • Publication number: 20110308274
    Abstract: An expansion valve (1) comprising an inlet opening and at least two outlet openings (5) is disclosed. The inlet opening is adapted to receive fluid medium in a liquid state, and the outlet openings (5) are adapted to deliver fluid medium in an at least partly gaseous state. The expansion valve (1) further comprises a diaphragm (6), and at least two valve seats (4), each valve seat (4) being fluidly connected to one of the outlet openings (5). Each of the valve seats (4) forms a valve in combination with the diaphragm (6), the position of the diaphragm (6) thereby simultaneously defining an opening degree of each of the valves. A well defined distribution of fluid flow towards each of the outlet openings (5) is easily defined by movements of the diaphragm (6). The distribution takes place before or during expansion of the fluid medium. The expansion valve (1) may be arranged in an refrigerant path of a refrigeration system.
