  • Patent number: 10082221
    Abstract: A pilot valve that includes a pilot valve body including a chamber, a first fluid inlet and a second fluid inlet for providing fluid to the chamber, and a fluid outlet for receiving fluid from the chamber. The pilot valve further includes a separating element and a valve rod, the valve rod is arranged to control fluid flow from the first or second fluid inlet to the fluid outlet via the chamber. The separating element is connected to, and movable with the valve rod, and has a first fluid contacting area configured to be in fluid communication with the first fluid inlet, and a second fluid contacting area configured to be in fluid communication with the second fluid inlet and arranged on an opposite side to the first fluid contacting area. The pilot valve is at least partly controlled by a difference between a first force and a second forces acting on the first and second fluid contacting areas of the separating element.

  • Patent number: 9841119
    Abstract: A pilot valve arrangement including a first and second pilot valve parts. The second pilot valve part including a second pilot valve body including a compartment, a low pressure fluid inlet for receiving fluid from the first pilot valve part, and a high pressure fluid inlet, and a fluid outlet for receiving fluid from the low pressure and high pressure inlets via said compartment and providing fluid to a piloted valve. In a first state, the second pilot valve of the pilot valve arrangement provides for a first fluid flow path within the compartment to enable the low pressure fluid inlet to be in fluid communication with the fluid outlet via the first fluid flow path. In a second state, a second fluid flow path within the compartment to enable the high pressure fluid inlet to be in fluid communication with the fluid outlet via the second fluid flow path.
