Publication number: 20240401704Abstract: A flow control arrangement comprising a first and a second valve member, wherein the second valve member is, at an end facing the first valve member, formed with a circumferentially extending ring-shaped surface facing with a major component in a longitudinal direction, a recess being surrounded by the ring-shaped surface and being configured to receive a portion of the first valve member, and a circumferentially extending edge formed in a transition between the ring-shaped surface and the recess, wherein a second circumferentially extending gasket of the first valve member is configured to sealingly interact with the circumferentially extending edge of the second valve member when the double valve is in the open state. Also disclosed is a method of cleaning such a flow control arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2022Publication date: December 5, 2024Applicant: ALFA LAVAL CORPORATE ABInventor: Jesper Bak NIELSEN

Patent number: 9671036Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2013Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: ALFA LAVAL CORPORATE ABInventors: Jesper Bak Nielsen, Johnny Ebsen

Patent number: 9637894Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2006Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: BROEN-LAB A/SInventors: Ruben John Jensen, Jesper Bak Nielsen, Torsten Heldbjerg Kjeldsen

Patent number: 8757190Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Alfa Laval Corporate ABInventor: Jesper Bak Nielsen
