To provide a constant differential pressure valve which is compact in size and can be realized at low cost. In the constant differential pressure valve according to the present invention, a pipe forming a body thereof not only accommodates internal structures, such as a differential pressure control mechanism, a movable core, and a fixed core, but also serves as part of piping of a refrigeration cycle. Further, a solenoid section including a solenoid coil is disposed outside the pipe in a manner surrounding the same. Therefore, substantial integration of the differential pressure control mechanism into the piping of the refrigeration cycle can be achieved, which makes the entire constant differential pressure valve very simple in construction. As a result, reduction of the size of the constant differential pressure valve and resultant reduction of material costs and manufacturing costs can be achieved, which makes it possible to achieve low costs of the constant differential pressure valve.

An EGR apparatus includes an EGR passage and an EGR valve including a valve seat, valve element, and step motor. In a fully closed state of the EGR valve with the valve element seated on the valve seat, a front-side pressure of the valve element is detected by an air flow meter and a back-side pressure of the valve element is detected by an intake pressure sensor. An ECU calculates a differential pressure between the front-side pressure and the back-side pressure as a front-and-back differential pressure. When the front-and-back differential pressure is smaller than a predetermined reference value, the ECU allows opening of the EGR valve from the fully closed state and allows driving of the step motor. The ECU can also correct the reference value according value according to voltage of a battery that supplies electric power to the step motor.

In one featured embodiment, a sleeve for a valve includes a sleeve body surrounding a center axis and defined by an overall length extending from a first end to a second end.

The central bore has a first surface portion comprising a piston contact surface that is defined by a first inner diameter, wherein the piston contact surface is configured to slide against a piston to be received within the central bore. In one example, a ratio of the overall length to the first inner diameter is between 3.51 and 3.63.

There is provided a flow rate control valve of a constant flow-rate control type, which is simple in construction. The flow rate control valve is configured, by regarding a evaporator as a restriction passage, to include a constant differential pressure control valve for controlling the differential pressure before and after pressure loss caused by passage of refrigerant through the evaporator to be substantially constant. In the constant differential pressure control valve, a valve element receives pressure from the outlet of the flow rate control valve in a valve-closing direction, and a piston receives pressure from the outlet of the evaporator in a valve-opening direction. By controlling the differential pressure between pressure at the inlet of the evaporator and the pressure at the outlet of the evaporator such that it is substantially constant, the constant differential pressure control valve causes the refrigerant to flow into the evaporator at a constant flow rate dependent on electric current that energizes a solenoid. This makes it unnecessary to form a restriction passage in the flow rate control valve, and hence the construction of the flow rate control valve can be simplified, which makes it possible to provide a flow rate control valve manufactured at low cost.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus (10) for pressurizing a first substance, such as a liquid, gas or particulate material, to a pressure substantially equal or similar to the pressure of a second substance, i.e. a reference substance. The pressure of the reference substance may be transient so the pressure of the first substance must be varied accordingly. The present disclosure includes a bladder (71) disposed within a sealed can (40), an inlet passage (24a) in communication with the interior (41) of the can and an outlet passage (26a) in communication with the interior of bladder (71). The reference substance may be directed into the interior (41) of the can (40) via the inlet passage (24a) and pressurizes the bladder (71) and thus the first substance stored therein, thereby causing the first substance to be expelled via the outlet passage (26a) with a pressure substantially corresponding to that of the reference substance. Many applications exist that require two substances to be of a similar pressure. For example, an engine may be adapted to run on low lubricity fuel provided a pressurized lubricant is introduced to the pressurized fuel before being directed towards the injector.

A proportioning valve for a reverse osmosis system that controls the production of product water by the differential pressure across the purification membrane. By sensing increasing tank pressure to actuate the proportioning valve, the flow of waste water is restricted. Placement of seals within the cavity of the valve, as well as placement of waste water inlet and outlet ports, protects tension components that provide reverse tank pressure from waste water exposure. A needle valve assembly responsive to an actuating assembly that senses tank pressure removes the need for an inlet tank water port while restricting water flow.
