Publication number: 20230392756Abstract: A control system having a primary run and a trim run, each run including an inlet coupled to a main gas supply line, a pneumatically actuated control valve positioned downstream of the inlet, a pneumatic pressure controller having variable deadband adjustment, and an outlet feeding into a gas supply line to the facility. The control valve of the primary run is preferably high-capacity, while the control valve of the trim run is low-capacity. Further, the system and method for controlling gas supply to the facility has a total flow capacity through the primary run and trim run to the facility being defined by CX, which is the total flow capacity of the primary run (CP) plus the total flow capacity of the trim run (CT), and an actual gas flow to the facility being defined by FX, which is the actual flow of the primary run (FP) plus the actual flow of the trim run (FT) and wherein FX is less than CX, CT is less than CP and FX is either stable, increasing, or decreasing based on a demand from the facility.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Vladimir Rimboym, James M.

Patent number: 11624456Abstract: An anti-surge recycle valve system for a natural gas line using a pipeline rotary control valve for controlling gas flow through the gas line and a valve controller having a surge-programmable feature including a threshold setpoint deviation limit, which is used to control first and second control valve loops. The first solenoid valve loop drives a rotary high-pressure piston actuator when the linear position sensor determines a setpoint deviation in gas flow below the threshold deviation, and the second solenoid valve loop drives the rotary high-pressure piston actuator when the linear position sensor determines a setpoint deviation in gas flow above the threshold deviation. The system provides ultra-rapid stroking speed in tandem with highly accurate and stable positioning.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: VRG Controls, LLCInventors: Vladimir Rimboym, James M.

Patent number: 8366070Abstract: A valve includes a body, a throttling ball, and a shoe. The body includes an upstream flow passage and a downstream flow passage in fluid communication with an interior cavity of the body. The throttling ball is rotatable within the interior cavity on an axis to adjust the valve from a closed position to an open position and includes a fluid conduit extending through the throttling ball, where the fluid conduit is alignable with the upstream flow passage and the downstream flow passage. The shoe is disposed in the cavity abutting an interior surface of the cavity and includes a fluid passage there through having an inlet being alignable with the flow conduit of the throttling ball and an outlet being alignable with the downstream flow passage of the body. The interior surface of the shoe is disposed adjacent to and tracking an external surface of the throttling ball.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2012Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Dresser, Inc.Inventors: Vladimir Rimboym, Vladimir Etinger

Patent number: 5762102Abstract: A pneumatically controlled assembly for the no-bleed regulation of the pressure of a gas as it flows in a pressurized line and including two balance valves that are set to respond to variations in pressure in conjunction with a controller valve so as to effectively regulate and maintain the pressure of the gas in the pressurized line. The balance valves are adjusted to maintain a gas tight seal, to open only in the situation when the gas pressure in the line is over the set amount desired, and to automatically close when the pressure in the line has returned to the desired level. The balance valves act in the situation where the pressure in the line changes, either over or under the set pressure. This is accomplished through a sensor mechanism such as a diaphragm. The diaphragm is set to respond to the desired pressure changes and communicates the pressure changes in the line by means, for example, of deflecting a spring. The sensor communicates the pressure change to one or both balance valves.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1997Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Assignee: Becker Precision Equipment, Inc.Inventor: Vladimir Rimboym
