Abstract:
The invention relates to an insert (1) for a thermostatic expansion valve as a thermostatic expansion valve (2) comprising such an insert and to a method of assembling such a thermostatic expansion valve (2). The insert (1) comprises an expansion valve element (3) and an expansion valve seat (4). The expansion valve element (3) is held inside the insert (1) by a biasing member (5), wherein the insert (1) is structured and arranged to be inserted into a valve housing (8). The task of the invention is to provide an insert for a thermostatic expansion valve that allows a simple assembly of the valve and also provides an improved functionality. The task is solved in that the insert (1) further comprises a control valve (12), wherein the control valve (12) is located in the same flow path through the insert (1) as the expansion valve seat (4).
Abstract:
The present invention is directed at a thermal expansion valve for a residential refrigeration application, including a valve body with a high pressure inlet, a low pressure outlet, a first suction gas port and a second suction gas port. The valve further includes a superheat defining mechanism with a diaphragm, a pushpin and a charge.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a capsule for a valve as well as to a valve comprising such a capsule. The task of the present invention is to provide a valve in which tight tolerances for construction can be achieved and the assembly of the valve is simplified. According to the present invention the above task is solved by a capsule (1) for a valve comprising at least one diaphragm (2), a valve seat (3), a capsule inlet (5) and a capsule outlet (6). The valve seat (3) is openable and closable to permit or stop a fluid flow from the capsule inlet (5) to the capsule outlet (6). The above task is also solved by a valve comprising a valve housing, wherein a capsule (1) of the above kind is arranged in the valve housing.

The above task is also solved by a valve (10) comprising a valve housing (15), wherein a capsule (1) of the above kind is arranged in the valve housing (15).
Abstract:
Service of a temperature controlled valve connected to a bulb should be facilitated. To this end said bulb (5) comprises a connection geometry (10) adapted to be connected to a capillary member (6) and said casing being provided with a closed opening zone located within said connection geometry (10), said opening zone being adapted to be opened upon mounting a counterpart (15) to said connection geometry (10).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a sealing system (1; 100) for an annular seal mount (40). It comprises an annular seal member (10) with two sealing lip portions (12, 14) connected by a connecting portion (11) and a spring-elastic spreader (17) secured within an annular groove of the seal member (10) and forms a channel (18) opening towards a first side in an axial direction (L). For providing bi-directional sealing in an inexpensive but reliable manner within small installation space, the sealing system (1; 100) has an expanding ring (20; 120) for abutting on the seal mount (40) at the first side. An engagement portion (23, 24; 122) of the expanding ring (20; 120) protrudes in the axial direction (L) towards a second side and is received within the channel (18). When the seal member (10) is pressed along the axial direction (L) against the expanding ring (23, 24; 122), the latter directly abuts the spreader (17) at a first radial position (R1; R1') and a second radial position (R2; R2'), thereby inducing spreading force for forcing the end sections of the sealing lip portions (12, 14) apart from each other via the spreader (17). The present invention further relates to a fluid valve (50) with a sealing system (1; 100) and to a sealing method.
