Abstract:
A valve arrangement (1) for an operation mode selector is described, the valve arrangement (1) comprising at least two valve modules (2), each of the valve modules (2) comprising a first mode selector valve (9) connecting a discharge conduit (7) and an evaporator conduit (19) and a second mode selector valve (10) connecting a suction conduit (8) and the evaporator conduit (19), the first mode selector valve (9) and a second mode selector valve (10) being connected by a housing section (3), and the valve modules (2) being arranged side by side in a direction parallel to the discharge conduit (7) and/or the suction conduit (8). Such a valve arrangement should be made compact. To this end the evaporator conduit (19) extends from the housing section (3) in an area which is limited by a first plane through the discharge conduit (7) and a second plane (35) through the suction conduit (8) and parallel to the first plane.
Abstract:
A solenoid valve (1) is described comprising a first port (2), a second port (3), a valve element (4) and a valve seat (5) arranged between said first port (2) and said second port (3), a coil (12) and a yoke arrangement (14-16), said coil (12) being magnetically linked to said yoke arrangement (14-16), said yoke arrangement (14-16) having a movable armature (16). In such a solenoid valve the generation of noise should be kept low. To this end said valve element (4) said valve element (4) is controlled by a pressure difference between a first pressure on a first side (6) of said valve element (4) and a second pressure on a second side (7) of said valve element (4), at least one of said first pressure and said second pressure being controlled by means of said armature (16), wherein said armature (16) comprises a first front face (18) at a first end and a second front face (19) at a second end opposite said first end, said first front face and (18) said second front face (19) being connected by a first flow path (21), said first flow path (21) having first throttling means for keeping low a flow of a fluid flowing through said second flow path.
Abstract:
A magnetic actuator (1 ) comprising a stationary part (3), a movable part (4) and a coil (10) arranged circumferentially relatively to the movable part (4) in such a manner that the movable part (4) is moved relatively to the stationary part (3) in response to a magnetic field induced when an electrical current runs in the coil (10). The stationary part (3) and the movable part (4) are shaped in such a manner that one is provided with a protruding part (5) and the other is provided with a recess (6) adapted to receive the protruding part (5). Thereby the minimum distance between the stationary part (3) and the movable part (4) are kept relatively low, and it is thereby possible to obtain a large pulling force without increasing manufacturing costs. The actuator (1 ) further comprises a shading ring (7) providing a magnetic field having a phase which is different from the phase of the field induced by the coil (10). This prevents the movable part (4) from repeatedly hitting the stationary part (3) and makes the actuator (1 ) suitable for use in AC as well as DC applications. The actuator (1 ) is suitable for use in a magnetic valve (9).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an axial valve (1, 41, 59, 74) comprising a housing (2), an inlet (3), an outlet (4), a main valve (9, 75) and a pilot valve (18, 42, 61, 76). The opening and closing of the main valve (9, 75) is controlled by actuating the pilot valve (18, 42, 61, 76). The pilot valve (18, 42, 61, 76), comprises a pilot valve element (19, 46, 66, 77) and an armature (24, 83). The main valve (9, 75) comprises a main closing element (10, 52, 64). The object of the invention is to provide an axial valve with a cheaper and less complicated construction. To this end, the pilot valve element (19, 46, 66, 77) is arranged displaceable inside the armature (24, 83) and the armature's relative position to the main closing element (10, 52, 64) is fixed.
Abstract:
A valve (9) for use in a vapour compression system (1) is disclosed. The valve (9) comprises a first inlet (13) arranged to be connected to a gaseous outlet (11) of a receiver (6), a second inlet (14) arranged to be connected to an outlet of an evaporator (8), a first outlet (15) arranged to be connected to an inlet of a compressor unit (2), a non-return valve arrangement (19) arranged to allow a fluid flow from the second inlet (14) towards the first outlet (15), but to prevent a fluid flow from the first outlet (15) towards the second inlet (14), and a control valve mechanism (20) arranged to control a fluid flow from the first inlet (13) towards the first outlet (15).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an actuator for a valve in a refrigeration system. The invention also relates to a valve with such actuator, and to a refrigeration system with such valve. The actuator comprises an elongated Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) element extending along two or more string-like extensions from a distant end to a proximate end in relation to a valve element of a valve. The SMA element, when forming part of the valve, may extend from the distant end to the proximate end connected to a housing of the SMA element, however, electrically insulated from the housing. An encapsulation may provide a thermal resistance, a thermal conductor and/or an electrical resistance between the SMA element and other elements or the surroundings of the SMA element.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic actuator, especially for the closure member of a valve, contains a solenoid unit (1), which has a cylindrical cavity (5) closed at one end and open at the other end. An axially introduced guide tube (2) for a magnetically movable armature (3) is arrestable in the cavity (5) by means of a securing device (19) engageable in a first recess (7) under spring force. To simplify connection of the actuator with and separation of the actuator from the component to be adjusted, provision is made for the securing device (19) to lie completely within the solenoid unit (1) and to snap automatically into the first recess (7) when the guide tube (2) is moved into a desired position in the cavity (5) of the solenoid unit (1).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an ejector arrangement (1, 40) comprising a housing (11) and at least two ejectors (2, 3, 41, 42) arranged in said housing (11) along a common axis (13). Each ejector (2, 3, 41, 42) has a motive inlet (4, 5), a suction inlet (6, 7), an outlet (8, 9) and a valve element (23, 24, 43, 44). The task of the invention is to provide an ejector arrangement that allows for a good control of the mass flow of fluid through the ejector arrangement while keeping the construction simple. According to the invention the above task is solved in that the ejector arrangement (1, 40) comprises a common actuator (25, 55), that is arranged to engage at least two of the valve elements (23, 24, 43, 44) to open the motive inlets (4, 5).
