Patent number: 10007278Abstract: A pneumatic valve, in particular a pneumatic proportional pressure control valve includes a valve housing (3), in which a piston valve element (5) is guided in a guide (7) under the effect of an actuating device (9) and of a restoring device (11). The restoring device exerts a spring force and acts on the valve element (5) counter to the applied magnetic force (FB) of the actuating device (9). The valve element controls a media flow between a first media connection (13) and a second media connection (15) on the valve housing (3). With the actuating device (9), the valve element (5) establishes a media-conducting connection (17) between the respective media connections (13, 15), while allowing for the forces prevailing, on the basis of the applied pressures multiplied by the respective pressure-active surfaces, the spring force, the flow forces and the magnetic force.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2012Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: HYDAC ELECTRONIC GMBHInventors: Christian Groh, Kai Remus

Patent number: 8336574Abstract: A regulator comprises a regulator valve and an actuator. The actuator is coupled to the regulator valve and comprises a control element for controlling the flow of fluid through the regulator valve. The actuator is additionally equipped with a pressure averaging sense tube to sense the actual pressure at the outlet of the regulator valve. The actual pressure is then supplied to a sensing element such as a diaphragm of the actuator to adjust the position of the control element. The pressure averaging sense tube includes an open sensing end and an elongated slot. The elongated slot advantageously senses and averages the pressure across the length of the sense tube to maximize the accuracy of the pressure signal supplied to the sensing element.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2008Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Fisher Controls International LLCInventors: Seth Kranz, Joseph Losh

Publication number: 20100147400Abstract: An example loading regulator having an internal relief valve apparatus includes a body having a loading diaphragm disposed between a first casing and a second casing. The first casing and a first side of the loading diaphragm define a first chamber and the second casing and a second side of the loading diaphragm define a second chamber. A relief valve assembly is coupled to the loading diaphragm. The relief valve assembly includes a relief valve seat having an aperture that forms a passageway to fluidly couple the first chamber and the second chamber and a relief valve plug movably coupled to the relief valve seat. The relief valve plug is to move away from the relief valve seat to a bleed position to allow the flow of fluid between the first chamber and the second chamber in response to an outlet pressure substantially greater than a pressure at which the loading regulator enters a lock-up condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2008Publication date: June 17, 2010Inventors: James Chester Hawkins, David Edward Wollums, Tung Kim Nguyen, Gregory Lawrence Foust

Patent number: 6792972Abstract: An excess pressure release is provided which at injector effect during inflation of an air cushion ensures an under-pressure in a part (23) of a valve chamber. By activating a piston (19), the underpressure retains the excess pressure release in its open position against the force of a spring (11), until a desired counter pressure from the filled air cushion stops the injector effect, whereby the excess pressure release is closed. As a result the air cushion may be inflated at a comparative high pressure and thus in a fast manner. The inflation is stopped automatically and securely, when the desired pressure has been reached in the air cushion.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2002Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: Korsnäs Bates A/SInventor: Mogens Poulsen

Patent number: 6318405Abstract: A pressure regulator body having an inlet port and and an outlet port having a pressure regulator valve disposed in said pressure regulator body, said valve being moveable between and open and a closed position and being responsive to open or close the valve based at least in part on a differential pressure between the pressure in the outlet port and the pressure in the inlet port. A chamber in the pressure regulator body on the outlet port side of the valve has a conduit extending from the outlet port into said chamber. This conduit has an inside and an outside and an open end which is spaced from the valve whereby flow through the conduit flowing will pull fluid from the chamber which is located radially outwardly from said conduit as well as allowing flow directly from the valve to the open end in the conduit. The effect of this arrangement is to quickly cause less flow to a fuel tank and more flow to an engine during a desired rapid acceleration of rpm of such engine.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2000Date of Patent: November 20, 2001Assignee: Mahle-Parr Filter Systems, Inc.Inventors: Timothy B. Brandt, Allen L. Hudson

Patent number: 6167905Abstract: A diaphragm-type gas pressure regulator wherein the valve subassembly is constructed as a drop-in unit. The valve subassembly includes a diaphragm lever and a plunger valve. A seat disk is inserted in a cavity at a first end of the plunger valve and the rounded pivot end of the lever is inserted in a groove at the other end of the plunger valve. The plunger valve is then inserted into a valve guide and a lever pin is installed through the guide and the lever, thereby capturing the subassembly. This subassembly is then placed into the regulator body and a mounting plate of the valve guide is screwed down into the regulator body. The lever is lifted up and its actuator end is inserted through an opening at the bottom of the valve stem of the regulator's diaphragm assembly. An orifice member is then threadedly installed into the regulator body inlet, the end of the orifice member having a valve seat which becomes seated in the end of the plunger valve guide.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1999Date of Patent: January 2, 2001Assignee: American Meter CompanyInventors: Patrick S.
