VALVES WITH INTEGRATED ORIFICE RESTRICTIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019034 titled 'VALVES WITH INTEGRATED ORIFICE RESTRICTIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a valve that includes a valve body with two fluid ports, a seat carrier subassembly installed in the valve cavity, and a valve element. The seat carrier body has two annular inner walls with flow apertures aligned with the fluid ports, and a valve seat is disposed in an annular recess surrounding one of the annular inner walls. The valve element is movable between a closed position sealing against the valve seat and an open position allowing fluid flow across the valve seat between the flow apertures. An orifice restriction is seated against one of the annular inner walls.

  • The valve includes a seat carrier subassembly with a valve seat and annular inner walls, allowing for fluid flow control.
  • The valve element can be moved between a closed and open position to control the flow of fluid.
  • An orifice restriction is seated against one of the annular inner walls to further control the flow of fluid.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Industrial valves for controlling fluid flow in various systems and processes.
  • Plumbing valves for regulating water flow in residential and commercial buildings.
  • Automotive valves for controlling fluid flow in engines and other systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a reliable and efficient method for controlling fluid flow.
  • Ensures a tight seal when the valve is in the closed position, preventing leakage.
  • Allows for precise control of fluid flow rates.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and accuracy in fluid flow control.
  • Reduces the risk of leaks and potential damage to equipment or systems.
  • Provides flexibility in adjusting and regulating fluid flow rates.


Original Abstract Submitted

a valve includes a valve body having first and second fluid ports extending to a valve cavity, a seat carrier subassembly installed in the valve cavity and including a seat carrier body with a first annular inner wall defining a first flow aperture aligned with the first fluid port and a valve seat disposed in an annular recess surrounding the first annular inner wall, and a second annular inner wall defining a second flow aperture aligned with the second fluid port. a valve element is disposed within the valve cavity and is movable between a closed position sealing against the valve seat and an open position permitting fluid flow across the valve seat between the first and second flow apertures. an outer periphery of an orifice restriction is seated against an interior portion of one of the first annular inner wall and the second annular inner wall.
