Abstract:
A valve system includes, but is not limited to, a rotary valve; an actuator coupled with the rotary valve, wherein the actuator comprises a power connection fed from electronics associated with the actuator or coupled to the actuator; an actuator cap coupled with the actuator, the actuator cap configured to allow the power connection to pass through; a valve collar configured to be attached to the actuator cap, wherein the valve collar comprises an electronic feedthrough passage for the power connection; a sensor housing adjacent to the rotary valve and configured to support one or more sensors; and a retainer portion coupled with the rotary valve, the retainer portion configured to couple with the actuator cap through mating of respective retainer pins and apertures to allow electrical connection between the power connector and the sensor connector while remaining fixed with respect to the valve collar.
