OPEN-CLOSE VALVE UNIT, AND REFRIGERATION APPARATUS EMPLOYING THE OPEN-CLOSE VALVE UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18263375 titled 'OPEN-CLOSE VALVE UNIT, AND REFRIGERATION APPARATUS EMPLOYING THE OPEN-CLOSE VALVE UNIT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an open-close valve unit with a block body, a first open-close valve, and a second open-close valve. The first valve controls the first main flow path, while the second valve controls the second main flow path. The first valve is open when energized, allowing the second valve to open due to fluid pressure in the second main flow path.

  • The open-close valve unit includes a block body with two main flow paths.
  • The first open-close valve controls the first main flow path, while the second open-close valve controls the second main flow path.
  • The first valve is open when energized, causing the second valve to open due to fluid pressure in the second main flow path.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in fluid control systems, hydraulic systems, and industrial machinery where precise control of fluid flow is required.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures efficient and controlled fluid flow in systems. 2. Prevents backflow and pressure build-up in pipelines.

Benefits

1. Improved fluid flow control. 2. Enhanced system efficiency. 3. Reduced risk of damage due to pressure fluctuations.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized Fluid Control Valve Unit for Industrial Machinery

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to fluid control valves and systems used in industrial applications.

Unanswered Questions

How does the valve unit respond to changes in fluid pressure?

The patent application does not provide detailed information on how the valve unit adjusts to varying fluid pressures.

What materials are used in the construction of the valve unit?

The patent application does not specify the materials used in the manufacturing of the valve unit.


Original Abstract Submitted

An open-close valve unit includes a block body, a first open-close valve, and a second open-close valve. The block body includes a first main flow path and a second main flow path. The first main flow path has a first opening and a second opening. The second main flow path has a third opening and a fourth opening. The first open-close valve includes a first valve body movable to open and close the first main flow path. The second open-close valve includes a second valve body movable to open and close the second main flow path. The first open-close valve is in an open state when in an energized state. When the first open-close valve is in the energized state, the second open-close valve is in a de-energized state, and placed in an open state by a dynamic pressure of the fluid flowing in the second main flow path.
