  • Publication number: 20260117876
    Abstract: The present disclosure may comprise a valve used to control fluid flow. The valve may have an inlet and an outlet connected by a bore through which fluid may flow. A gate may be moveably configured within an internal cavity positioned along a length of the bore. The gate may move between an open position that allows fluid to flow through the gate, and a closed position that does not allow fluid to flow through the gate. Two elastomeric energizing assemblies may be configured on either side of the gate. Lantern rings with lantern ring openings may be configured concentrically with the elastomeric energizing assemblies. Valve seats may be configured between the elastomeric energizing assemblies and the gate. When fluid flows past the lantern ring openings, pressure may increase in the elastomeric energizing assemblies, causing the valve seats to compress against the gate and form a seal with the gate.
