Plug Valves TRIZ Cases
- Magnetic Refrigeration Flow Balancing to Prevent Bed Underutilization
Balanced conduits and a synchronized rotary valve equalize flow through magnetocaloric beds, reducing backflow and improving cooling efficiency.
- Modular Anti-Scale Collector With Quick-Connect Valve Sealing
A polymer spherical seal and quick-connect modules prevent limescale buildup, maintain flow, and simplify collector installation.
- Thermoelectric Temperature Control Valve for Compact Cold Drip Brewing
A thermoelectric chip cools or heats a metal valve assembly to stabilize extraction temperature without ice, cutting energy loss and bulk.
- Actuator Check Valve Structure for Back Pressure Leak Prevention
A spring-biased ball check valve inside the actuator blocks reverse pressure, preventing canister disconnection and refrigerant leakage.
- Rotatable Valve Body for Asymmetric Radiator Flow Distribution
A pressure nut locks a rotatable valve body to switch radiator heating fluid between symmetric and asymmetric flow paths after installation.
- Off-Axis Valve Position Sensing for Precise Flow Control
An arcuate Hall sensor array tracks a rotating valve magnet off-axis to improve position accuracy and flow-rate monitoring without contact.
- Integrated Ball and Schrader Valve Assembly for Refrigerant Leak Prevention
A combined ball and Schrader valve assembly reduces refrigerant loss during service while preserving standard maintenance access.
- Rotary Mixing Valve Structure for Low-Torque Water Heaters
Rotating notched valve elements replace axial shaft motion, cutting sliding torque, motor size, and valve complexity in water heaters.
- Integrated Two-Shutter Intake Valve for Low-Complexity Airflow Control
A single DC motor-driven valve body replaces multiple intake valves to simplify maintenance, cut weight, and maintain precise airflow control.
- Automated Condensate Drain Cleaning for Clog and Overflow Prevention
Controlled fluid flushing clears microbial growth and debris from condensate drain lines, preventing overflow without manual cleaning.
- Integrated Triple-Duty Valve for Hydronic Flow Balancing
Combining a check valve, venturi, and shutoff valve in one body enables accurate hydronic flow balancing, backflow prevention, and lower energy use.
- Automatic Balancing Valve Ring Nut for Easier Flow Adjustment
A ring nut below the actuating member lets installers set maximum flow rate more easily and visibly, even in hard-to-reach valve positions.
- Shower Valve Trigger Mechanism for Automatic Water Shutoff
A spring-biased trigger valve keeps shower water off by default, cutting water and energy waste without complex foot controls.
