Abstract: A valve can include a rib for improving flow, which can include improving a flow rating of the valve and improving the structural integrity of the valve. A valve can include a valve body, one or more inlets for allowing flow into the body, one or more outlets for allowing flow out of the body, one or more flow paths, and one or more ribs for routing fluid in a flow path. A valve can include an orifice fluidically between an inlet and an outlet and one or more ribs disposed upstream and/or downstream of the orifice. A valve can include one or more ribs in an inlet flow path, an outlet flow path or another flow path and a rib can be coupled between two or more portions of a valve.

Abstract: Applicants have created systems and apparatuses for a simplified solenoid valve assembly adapted to control the flow of a fluid. The apparatus can include an upper component formed as a single manufactured component comprising a body and a core tube and a lower component formed as a single manufactured component comprising a seat insert and a core. The apparatus can further include a coil adapted to regulate an amount of fluid flowing through the apparatus and the upper and lower components can be formed as separate units coupled to one another with a coupler. The system can include the apparatus and a manifold that is adapted to be coupled to the upper component. By forming the upper and lower components as single manufactured components, the resulting simplified solenoid valve assembly can be manufactured with fewer components, with a reduced manufacturing cost and decreased complexity, as compared to traditional valve assemblies.

Abstract: A valve assembly comprising an inlet port, an outlet port, and a diaphragm configured to selectively allow communication between the inlet port and the outlet port, the diaphragm including a first side adjacent the ports and a second side opposed to the ports. The valve preferably includes at least one bleed path between the first side and the second side of the diaphragm with a one way flow device configured to allow flow from the first side to the second side of the diaphragm and prevent flow from the second side to the first side of the diaphragm. The valve may include a first bleed path from the inlet port to the second side of the diaphragm and a second bleed path from the outlet port to the second side of the diaphragm. Either bleed path, or both, may comprise a check valve mounted in the diaphragm.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and system of an inline direct acting solenoid pilot valve. The valve has a solenoid assembly with a longitudinally moveable core assembly that shifts alternatively between sealing engagement on a lower first end of the core assembly with a pilot port formed in a poppet and sealing engagement on an opposite upper end with a stationary pilot exhaust port in the solenoid assembly. The core assembly can move in the same or opposite direction than the poppet and thus is independently moveable from the poppet to effect the various modes of operation. Because the movement is independent, the core assembly can advantageously operate within the solenoid with a shorter stroke to produce a higher overall force per length relative to a conventional core assembly stroke that is longer than the poppet stroke. The overall design allows a more compact and simplified design.
