  • Publication number: 20170350354
    Abstract: A pulse damper constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a first housing member, a second housing member, a diaphragm and a valve. The first housing member defines a fuel chamber at an internal space thereof. The first housing member can further have a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet. The second housing member can define a pressurized chamber. The diaphragm can be disposed between the first and second housing. The diaphragm separates the fuel chamber and the pressurized chamber. The valve can be disposed on the second housing and be configured to selectively pass air into and out of the pressurized chamber corresponding to a desired predetermined pressure within the pressurized chamber. Increased pressure within the pressurized chamber will resist movement of the diaphragm into the pressurized chamber.

  • Patent number: 8931508
    Abstract: A vapor isolation valve includes a first chamber in fluid communication with a fuel tank and a second chamber disposed with respect to the first chamber. A diaphragm is disposed between the first and second chambers, has an orifice allowing fluid communication therebetween, and is moveable between a diaphragm open position and a diaphragm closed position. A third chamber is disposed adjacent the first chamber, relative to the diaphragm, and is in fluid communication with an exit passage. The diaphragm open position allows fluid communication between the first and third chambers, and the diaphragm closed position substantially restricts fluid communication therebetween. A pilot valve is disposed between the second and third chambers and is selectively moveable between a pilot open position configured to allow fluid communication between the second and third chambers and a pilot closed position configured to block fluid communication therebetween.
