Multiple Way Valves TRIZ Cases
- Multi-port Valve Elastomeric Seal Reduces Rotation Force
Segmented directional component with elastomeric intermediary seal reduces rotation force while preventing lubricant contamination in multi-port valves.
- Multi-port Stopcock with Color-coded Indicator System
Color-coded indicators on a rotating stopcock hub clarify port states, reducing interpretation errors in complex fluid flow systems.
- Bypass Directional Control Valve Port Diameter Optimization
Varying inlet and outlet port diameters in a bypass directional control valve reduce pressure losses while maintaining precise fluid distribution control.
- Hydraulic Valve Flow Force Compensation via Control Groove
Segmented control grooves with curved surfaces reduce filling time and jerking by compensating for closing flow forces on the valve piston.
- Mixer Cartridge Dual-Stop Mechanism for Leak Resistance
Dual stops on the housing limit actuator travel, absorbing jerky forces to maintain seal integrity in compact mixer cartridges.
- Sanitary Mixer Tap Sealing Ring Design
A sanitary single lever mixer tap replaces a cylindrical collar with an annular cap and axial sealing ring to improve design freedom.
- Outfeed Gate Wear Strip Segmentation for High-Temperature Sealing
Segmented wear strips on sliding plates reduce friction and brittleness in high-temperature outfeed gates.
- Rotating Diverter Valve for Selective Fluid Flow Diversion
A rotatable valve body with an eccentric exhaust port directs fluid to multiple outlets through simple rotation.
- Shuttle Valve Durable Soft Seal Wear Reduction
Intermediary seal rings and spring bias absorb impact forces from rapid shuttle movement, extending service life in blowout preventer systems.
- Compressor Throttling Valve Sealed Housing Design
Sealed outer housing encloses inlet pipe and blades to eliminate shaft seals and purge systems in compressor throttling valve assemblies.
- Disc Valve Tolerance Compensation for Faucet Assembly
An adjustable receiving element maintains a fixed pivot-to-base distance in disc valves, eliminating visible gaps caused by manufacturing tolerances.
- High Temperature Gate Valve Door Design
A high temperature gate valve uses a rectangular door to control fluid flow between ports and an exit.
- Offset Cylindrical Valve With Peripheral Linkage For Independent Flow Control
A cylindrical valve housing uses a peripheral linkage to move a control disk for precise fluid flow adjustment.
- Rotary Joint Radial Seal Arrangement for Axial Length Reduction
Radial seal placement in separate annular spaces reduces axial length while maintaining seal performance and simplifying the component count.
- Single-lever Mixing Cartridge Seal Integrity via Composite Materials
A single-lever mixing cartridge uses a metal head and plastic bottom piece to maintain seal integrity.
- Subsea Valve Non-Circular Sliding Metal Seals
Non-circular oblate metal seals shrink valve dimensions while maintaining flow capacity for compact subsea control pods.
- Hollow Piston Safety Valve for Milking Systems
A hollow piston safety valve directs fluid flow through an integrated directional control mechanism.
- Aquaculture Diverter Valve Spherical Plug Design
A diverter valve uses a spherical plug to selectively route feed through circular outlets.
- Three-Way Valve Flow Diverter Ribs
Ribs in the throat cavity disrupt circulation patterns to increase flow efficiency.
- Mixing Cartridge Temperature Limiter External Access
Segmented temperature limiter allows external access to the resilient element, resolving repair complexity and enabling easy feature toggling.
- Three-Way Valve Bonnet Protrusion for Sealing
A frustoconical bonnet protrusion improves sealing reliability while maintaining flow control precision in three-way valves.
- Multi-part Slide Element Seal for Pneumatic Pump
Segmented slide elements prevent grease depletion by separating the external seal from internal pressure, maintaining reliability.
- Fluid Valve Fitting with Integrated Bypass and Actuator
An integrated actuator operates inflow, outflow, and bypass valves concurrently to prevent coolant spills during connection.
- Manifold Flow Selector for Purge Gas Control
A manifold flow selector with spaced apertures adjusts purge gas rates to semiconductor pump ports.
- Actuating Dump Valve With Bypass Tube for Milking Systems
A reconfigurable valve assembly uses a moveable piston and bypass tube to divert fluid flow paths.
- Common Actuator Safety Valve for Milking Systems
A common actuator merges three valves into one mechanism, reducing structural space and simplifying electrical control for reliable milking operations.
