METHODS AND APPARATUS TO REDUCE NOISE IN VALVES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019046 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS TO REDUCE NOISE IN VALVES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatus to reduce noise in a valve. The valve includes a valve body with an inner cavity that connects an inlet and an outlet. The inner cavity has annular cavities spaced apart along the direction of flow. A trim is used to control the flow of fluid between the inlet and outlet, and a screen is positioned within the inner cavity, surrounded by the annular cavities. The screen has a pattern of apertures to disperse sound waves generated by the fluid.

  • The valve body has an inner cavity that connects the inlet and outlet.
  • Annular cavities are spaced apart along the direction of flow within the inner cavity.
  • A trim is used to control the flow of fluid between the inlet and outlet.
  • A screen is positioned within the inner cavity, surrounded by the annular cavities.
  • The screen has a pattern of apertures to disperse sound waves generated by the fluid.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Industrial valves in manufacturing plants
  • Plumbing valves in residential and commercial buildings
  • Oil and gas pipelines
  • Water treatment facilities

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Reduces noise generated by fluid flow in valves
  • Improves overall acoustic comfort in industrial and residential settings
  • Minimizes the need for additional noise reduction measures

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience by reducing noise levels
  • Improved working conditions for employees in industrial settings
  • Compliance with noise regulations and standards
  • Increased efficiency and reliability of valve operation


Original Abstract Submitted

methods and apparatus are disclosed to reduce noise in valve. an example valve includes a valve body defining an inner cavity that fluidly couples an inlet of the valve and an outlet of the valve, the inner cavity having an inner wall with annular cavities spaced apart from one another along a direction of flow of the valve body, a trim to vary a degree of flow of fluid between the inlet and the outlet, and a screen positioned within the inner cavity, the screen at least partially surrounded by the annular cavities and including a pattern of apertures to disperse sound waves generated when the fluid moves therethrough.
