TWO-WAY VALVE

Claims

1. A device comprising: valve body; and a valve assembly configured to be connected to a valve body, wherein the valve assembly comprises a first valve component and a second valve component, wherein the first valve component is configured to allow or prevent the first flow of fluid to pass through the device in a first direction, and the second valve component is configured to allow or prevent the second flow of fluid to pass through the device in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the first valve component is designed as a plug for an opening in the second valve component.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein the first valve component is configured to be pushed away from the second valve component in response to pressure of the first fluid flow acting on the first valve component to allow the first fluid flow to pass through an opening in the second valve component.

4. The device of claim 3, wherein the first valve component is associated with a resistance element that is configured to pull the first valve component toward the second valve component to seal the opening in the second valve component until the first fluid flow provides sufficient pressure to overcome the resistance element and push the first valve component away from the second valve component.

5. The device according to claim 4, wherein the resistance element comprises a spring.

6. The device according to claim 4, further comprising an adjustment mechanism configured to be activated to adjust the resistance of the resistance element.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the second valve component is connected to a resistance element that is configured to push the second valve component in a direction opposite to the second fluid flow.

8. The device according to claim 7, wherein the resistance element comprises a spring.

9. The device according to claim 7, in which the valve body comprises a retaining element that is configured to act against the second valve component and to set the tension of the resistance element.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the valve assembly is screwed into the valve body, and the tension of the resistance element is set based on how far the valve assembly is screwed into the valve body.

11. The device of claim 9, wherein the retaining member includes at least one opening for allowing fluid to flow through the valve body.

12. The device of claim 9, wherein the first valve component and the second valve component are configured to be pushed away from the retaining member in response to pressure of the second fluid flow acting on the first valve component and the second valve component to ensure that the second fluid flow flows around the second valve component.

13. The device of claim 12, wherein the second valve component has a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the valve body.

14. The device of claim 9, wherein the position of the retaining member within the valve body is adjustable to adjust the resistance of the resistance element associated with the second valve component.

15. A two-way valve comprising: a valve body comprising a retaining member in the valve body; a valve assembly configured to be connected to a valve body, wherein the valve assembly comprises: a first valve component connected to a first resistance element, wherein the first resistance element is configured to pull the first valve component in a first direction; and a second valve component connected to a second resistance element, wherein the second resistance element is configured to push the second valve component in a second direction opposite to the first direction, wherein the first valve component is configured to allow or prevent the first flow of fluid to pass through the two-way valve toward the second direction, and the second valve component is configured to allow or prevent the second flow of fluid to pass through the two-way valve in the first direction.

16. The valve of claim 15, wherein the first valve component is formed as a plug for an opening in the second valve component.

17. The valve of claim 16, wherein the first valve component is configured to push away from the second valve component in response to pressure of the first fluid flow acting on the first valve component to allow the first fluid flow to pass through an opening in the second valve component.

18. The valve of claim 15, wherein the first valve component and the second valve component are configured to be pushed away from the retaining member in response to pressure of the second fluid flow acting on the first valve component and the second valve component to allow the second fluid flow to flow around the second valve component.

19. The valve of claim 15, further comprising an adjustment mechanism capable of being actuated to adjust the resistance of the first resistance element.

20. A method comprising: Provision of valve body; providing a valve assembly, wherein the valve assembly comprises a first valve component and a second valve component; and connection of the valve assembly to the valve body, wherein the first valve component is operable to allow or prevent a first flow of fluid in a first direction, and the second valve component is operable to allow or prevent a second flow of fluid in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
