20150068622 | CHECK VALVE - A check valve is provided for use with variable frequency drives and other applications. In one aspect, the check valve provides a poppet guided by a poppet guide in at least two locations to ensure stability between fully open and fully closed positions. In another aspect, the check valve includes a poppet guide adapted to receive a poppet in a stem receiving channel, the stem receiving channel including guide vanes engaging the poppet and auxiliary channels for self cleaning. The check valve may also include a valve seal. In one embodiment, the valve seal is an o-ring received by a poppet head, based of the poppet guide and valve seat. The valve seat and/or the base may include expansion channels to receive a portion of the valve seat during compression when the check valve is in a closed position. | 03-12-2015 |
20140261785 | BACK PRESSURE VALVE - A back pressure valve comprises a pressure regulator housing affixed to a pressure controller housing and a diaphragm disposed between the pressure regulator housing and the pressure controller housing. In one aspect, the back pressure valve includes a valve member moveable between a fully open position and a fully closed position. The pressure regulator housing includes an inlet chamber communicating with an outlet chamber through at least one fluid passage in a sleeve. The valve member includes a stem connected to a valve head. The valve head includes an outer surface that is received and guided during movement by an inner surface of the sleeve. The outer surface of the valve head includes an upper outer surface and a lower outer surface separated by a cavity adapted to receive a sealing element. Upper and lower outer surface of the valve head provide stability to the valve member during opening and closing of the back pressure valve. | 09-18-2014 |
20140069530 | CHECK VALVE - A check valve is provided for use with variable frequency drives and other applications. In one aspect, the check valve provides a poppet guided by a poppet guide in at least two locations to ensure stability between fully open and fully closed positions. In another aspect, the check valve includes a poppet guide adapted to receive a poppet in a stem receiving channel, the stem receiving channel including guide vanes engaging the poppet and auxilliary channels for self cleaning. | 03-13-2014 |
20130092261 | CHECK VALVE - A check valve is provided capable of reducing the effects of fluid hammer and is easily replaceable and repairable. In one aspect of the invention, a check valve includes a housing with a passage having a check valve positioned therein to permit fluid flow in one direction while preventing fluid flow in the reverse direction. The housing includes an inlet port and a valve seat. The check valve includes a valve disc connected to a stem. The valve disc moves from a closed position engaged with the valve seat to an open position disengaged from the valve seat. The distance traveled by the valve disc away from the valve in a full open position is less than twenty five percent of the diameter of the inlet port. | 04-18-2013 |
