  • Patent number: 9683664
    Abstract: A double seat valve comprising a valve housing, a first closing element, a second closing element, a leakage chamber arranged intermediate the first and second closing elements, the second closing element connected to the second displacement rod via spokes, wherein at least one of the spokes comprises: a leading edge that faces the leakage chamber and extends in a radial direction outwards from the second displacement rod; and first and second sides that extend from the leading edge in a direction from the leakage chamber to the drain passage on a respective side of the spoke.

  • Patent number: 9671036
    Abstract: Actuator for a valve, comprising a first piston, a first piston rod and a first fluid chamber for enabling movement of the first piston and the first piston rod. The actuator has a second piston, a second piston rod, the second piston rod being coaxially arranged with the first piston rod and radially enclosing at least a part of the first piston rod. A second fluid chamber is arranged for the second piston, for enabling movement of the second piston and the second piston rod. A first fluid channel is arranged in communication with each of the first and the second fluid chambers, for effecting, when fluid is introduced into the first fluid channel, movement of the first piston and the second piston. Also, a valve comprising such actuator is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9637894
    Abstract: A connecting arrangement for a fitting unit with a fitting housing (13). In the housing there is at least one bore (17, 18) for mounting a medium pipe (24, 36) by means of a threaded fitting 31, 34). The fitting may optionally be chosen as a nut (31) for squeezing a cutting sleeve 30) or as a soldering bushing (34) for mounting the medium pipe by soldering. Irrespectively whether there is a bore (17, 18) in the fitting housing or a bore in the soldering bushing 34), several parts with varying diameters would be provided so that medium pipes with different diameters can be fastened.

  • Patent number: 8757190
    Abstract: A cleaning system for cleaning one or more valve seats in a valve and for cleaning one or more interior surfaces of said valve with a cleaning agent, where said cleaning system are preferably arranged in a mixproof valve (1) consisting of at least a valve body (2), one or more valve seats (5, 9), a first valve plug (4) with a first stem (6) and a second valve plug (8) with a second stem (10), the second valve plug having a central hollow part (11) for guiding the first stem. Said cleaning system has nozzle means (17) for creating two different spray patterns, said nozzle means being arranged between and/or on the first stem and the hollow central part of the second valve plug, where a first spray pattern is primarily used for cleaning the interior surfaces of said valve and where a second spray pattern is primarily used for cleaning one or more of said valve seats, while the valve is open between a product area (14) and a drain area (15).
