Принадлежит: BLANEY MCMURTRY LLP

A system for the regulation of water supply temperature, particularly in a domestic setting where multiple users are connected to a common water supply. The system comprises a water mixing chamber with separate inlets for hot water and cold water from a hot water chamber and a cold water chamber respectively, and an outlet for the mixed water. The system includes a pressure regulating device comprising a pressure release valve connected to the water mixing chamber and the outlet. When the pressure at either the hot water inlet or the cold water inlet of the mixing chamber decreases, a portion of the mixed water about to exit the outlet is recirculated to the mixing chamber by the pressure release valve of the pressure regulating device; the temperature in the water mixing chamber is thus maintained within a desired temperature range.

The lumen reshapes as a function of the pressure differential over the flow restrictor.

LIQUID FLOW CONTROLLER HAVING PRESSURE BALANCED PISTON FOR DELIVERING CONSTANT FLOW

Номер: WO1986000731A1
Автор: KENT, Preben, H.
Принадлежит:

A small, lightweight, simple, and highly reliable flow controller (2) utilizing two moving parts (6, 48), for apportioning inlet fluid flow between an orifice outlet (26, 16) and inlet. Constant outlet flow over a substantial inlet flow and pressure range is achieved through the use of a flow balanced flow control piston (6) reciprocating internally of a housing (4). The balanced piston is biased to a predetermined proportioning range through an internal spring (48). The unit is normally operated with inlet port and outlet pressure sensing port in fluid communication with an external orifice (24). A bypass port (14) communicating with the controller inlet adjacent the control piston returns excess fluid to the reservoir (22) of a pumped fluid system. Increases in inlet flow to the regulator/orifice combination act to adjust the balanced piston position and initiate or increase flow across an integral piston/seat control orifice. The downstream or outlet pressure of the external orifice ...

УСТРОЙСТВО РЕГУЛИРОВАНИЯ ПОТОКА СРЕД С ОТВОДНЫМ КАНАЛОМ

Номер: RU208489U1

Полезная модель относится к нефтедобывающей промышленности и может быть использована при эксплуатации нефтяных, газовых, водозаборных скважин при откачке жидких сред с механическими примесями. Устройство регулирования потока сред автономно контролируют приток флюидов в скважину, увеличивая приток скважинного флюида в ствол скважины за счет штуцирования нежелательных флюидов (воды и газа). Устройство регулирования потока сред работает автономно, изменяя параметры работы в зависимости от свойств притока скважинного флюида. Достигается повышение эффективности отделения скважинного флюида с меньшей вязкостью за счет уменьшения доли воды и газа в добываемом флюиде, что достигается путем создания дополнительного сопротивления потоку, а также дополнительного давления на диск снизу, тем самым плотно закрывая основное входное отверстие устройства, через которое флюид попадает в клапан, что, в свою очередь, приводит к увеличению добычи нефти и, соответственно, к увеличению дебита скважины. 2 ил.

A fluid flow regulator of the present invention comprises in combination a stationary hollow duct housing having a first end and a second end through which fluid flows. The device also incorporates a movable member aligned concentric with the duct having an end essentially similarly shaped and sized to the first end of the housing. The member may be spaced apart from the duct so that fluid can enter the duct housing through an opening defined by the space between the end of the member and the first end of the duct, with the movement of the member serving to change the size of opening. The movement of the member is controlled by the movement of a float located within the duct. The position of the float can be preset by the operator of the invention so that when fluid flow into the duct is at a predetermined amount the float will remain stationary, and when the fluid flow increases above such predetermined level the float will be moved in the direction of the fluid flow and when fluid flow into the duct is below said predetermined amount, the float will move the member opposite the direction of fluid flow. 1.

A water-saving device structure is provided. When the pressure of an entry water is high, a water-barrier sheet body is pressed to cause a downwardly-moved elastic stopping portion to block a water-inflow opening of a water-outflow seat body, so that the water flow is conducted to a water-outflow opening through a water-conducting opening of the water-barrier sheet body. When the pressure of the entry water is low, the entry water is conducted to the water-outflow opening via one path traveling from the water-conducting opening of the water-bather sheet body to the water-outflow opening of the water-outflow seat body and the other path traveling along the clearances of stopping wall portions of the water-outflow seat body, a water-storage circular slot portion, the water-inflow openings of the water-outflow seat body and the water-outflow opening of the water-outflow seat body.

Fluidic pcv valve assembly and system

Принадлежит: DlhBowles Inc

Provided is a PCV valve assembly that includes a fluidic geometry that allows for the flow of combustion fluid/gas to flow between an inlet and an outlet and switch between two modes of operation, (i) a radial or high flow mode, and (ii) a tangential or low flow mode, as dictated during the operation of the engine. At low vacuums, the fluidic equipped PCV valve assembly has been tuned to operate in the radial mode producing high flow rates due to low flow resistance. As vacuum increases, the PCV valve assembly is tuned to automatically switch modes. This may be enabled due to the shape of the fluidic geometry and the bypass channel which is adapted to vary the amount of flow between a first and a second control ports. The bypass channel allows the geometric fluidic pattern to switch between the high flow mode and the low flow mode.

An unclamp delay valve for delaying release of hydraulic pressure in a hydraulic holding device. The unclamp delay valve may have a check valve allowing fluid to flow between an inlet port and an outlet port when held open by a piston translatable within a piston chamber. The check valve blocks fluid from flowing between the outlet port and the inlet port when released due to hydraulic fluid filling the piston chamber and translating the piston away from the check valve. To reopen the check valve, hydraulic pressure is released via the inlet port and slowly drains from a small orifice fluidly coupling the piston chamber and the inlet port, causing the piston to return to again open the check valve. A delay is thus created by the time it takes for the piston chamber to drain, thus opening the check valve to release hydraulic pressure therethrough. 1.

Disclosed are downforce feedback systems for active aerodynamic devices, methods for making/using such systems, and vehicles equipped with a closed-loop downforce feedback system to govern operation of the vehicle's active aero device(s). A feedback control system for operating an active aerodynamic device of a motor vehicle includes one or more pressure sensors for detecting fluid pressures in one or more pneumatic or hydraulic actuators for moving the active aero device. A vehicle controller receives fluid pressure signals from these sensor(s), and calculates an actual downforce value from these signal(s). The controller retrieves a calibrated downforce value from mapped vehicle downforce data stored in memory, and determines if the actual downforce value differs from the calibrated value. If so, the controller determines a target position for a target downforce value for a current vehicle operating condition, and commands the actuator(s) to move the active aero device to the target position. 1.
