Patent number: 10289128Abstract: A method and arrangement for maintaining fluid flow pressure in a system at a preset, almost constant level. A method for maintaining fluid flow pressure almost constant regardless of mass flow. The arrangement including a pressure accumulator, and a nozzle valve. The nozzle valve having a valve body and axially oriented needle for opening and closing the mouth of its outflow channel. The needle shaft guided by a slide element mounted inside the valve body. The inflow into the flow body passes to the other side of the slide element through one or several channels. The needle moves axially to open and close the channel because of the forces acting upon it. Forces acting upon it may include the accumulator, the inflow and a spring. The needle's movement adjust the cross-sectional area of the outflow channel mouth not disposed by the needle head to maintain an almost constant pressure.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2015Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Solar Water Solutions OYInventor: Heikki Antero Pohjola

Patent number: 9904302Abstract: System and method for gas pressure stabilization. The system comprises a pressure stabilizer which is divided into a receiving chamber and a pressure chamber by a flexible membrane, a booster device, a gas divider, and a control driver that can sense movement of the flexible membrane and control the gas divider accordingly. A pressure pilot is used to set the desired pressure in the pressure chamber. The pressure of the receiving chamber will stabilize to be the same with that of the pressure chamber regardless of the gas flow change or gas pressure change at the gas source, or the pressure fluctuation in the downstream system. The gas passing the system can eventually be recycled to a recycling system in the downstream without harming the environment.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2015Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Inventors: Chunyu Wu, Hsin-Hui Lee
