Abstract: A flush valve, a dust collector provided with such a flush valve and a dust collection system, are disclosed. The flush valve includes a valve body and a valve spool. The valve body is internally provided with a fluid passageway. The valve body is provided with an inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet. The first outlet is fluidly connected to a device to be flushed. The valve spool includes a movable part, a fixed part and an elastic part, the fixed part being provided in the valve body, and the elastic part elastically connecting said fixed part to the movable part. One end of the movable part being provided with a first spool land for blocking the first outlet. The first spool land being configured to be pushed away from said first outlet by fluid in the fluid passageway when the pressure drops due to blockage.

Abstract: A radial piston pump has a plurality of cylinders within which pistons reciprocally move. Each cylinder is connected to a first port by an inlet passage that has an inlet check valve, and is connected to a second port by an outlet passage that has an outlet check valve. A throttling plate extends across the inlet passages and has a separate aperture associated with each inlet passage. Rotation of the throttling plate varies the degree of alignment of each aperture with the associated inlet passage, thereby forming variable orifices for altering displacement of the pump. Uniquely shaped apertures specifically affect the rate at which the variable orifices close with throttle plate movement, so that the closure rate decreases with increased closure of the variable orifices.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a first plurality of cylinders, each coupled to a shared first port by a separate first valve and to a shared second port by a separate second valve. Each first and second valve has a chamber to which pressure from either the associated cylinder or the respective port is dynamically applied to select different operating modes. Each one of a second plurality of cylinders is coupled to the first port by a separate third valve and to a shared third port by a separate fourth valve. Each third and fourth valve has a chamber to which pressure from either the associated cylinder or the respective port is dynamically applied to select different operating modes. Selecting an operating mode enables the apparatus to act as a bidirectional pump or a hydraulic motor. Selectively controller the valves can deactivate an individual cylinder, while other cylinders remain active.

Abstract: A high efficiency diametrically compact, radial oriented piston hydraulic machine includes a cylinder block with a plurality of cylinders coupled to a first port by a first valve and to a second port by a second valve. A drive shaft with an eccentric cam, is rotatably received in the cylinder block and a cam bearing extend around the eccentric cam. A separate piston is slideably received in each cylinder. A piston rod is coupled at one end to the piston and a curved shoe at the other end abuts the cam bearing. The curved shoe distributes force from the piston rod onto a relatively large area of the cam bearing and a retaining ring holds each shoe against the cam bearing. The cylinder block has opposing ends with a side surface there between through which every cylinder opens. A band engages the side surface closing the openings of the cylinders.
