Remotely operated cylinder valves are normally of the pneumatic or solehoid types Solenoid valves are popular on the compressed natural gas (CNG) ftiel tanks on vehicles where opening and closing the valve is accomplished... 

Moreover, some of the gases have chemical properties (corrosive, highly toxic, self-igniting) that require the use of special equipment on the compressed gas containers (i.e. remotely controlled, pneumatically operated cylinder valves, flow restrictors, metal-to-metal seal between cylinder valve and process lines). Containers for electronic gases are subject to special cleaning procedures to remove particles, organic impurities, deposits and corrosion products from their inner surface. Depending on the chemical properties of the respective product and the speciflc demands in the respective field of application, apart from the usual steel containers also inside polished containers of steel, stainless steel or aluminium are used. 

Any residual material left in the shuttle is blanketed by a slow flow of dry nitrogen gas to prevent fouling of the shuttle between uses. Pneumatic cylinders, driven from solenoid valves that are controlled by a power- and event-controller, provide the shuttle motion, and position is confirmed by Hall Effect detectors on the pneumatic cyhnders and monitored by the power and event controller. 

Two main types of volumetric filler exist. In the first type, a predetermined volume of liquid can be dosed using either a magnetic inductive volumetric flow meter or a mass flow meter. Alternatively, measuring cylinders can be used that incorporate a level probe. The product is fed to a set level in the metering cylinder, at which point the flow valve is closed off from the supply tank. A typical can filler operating at 1,500 cans of 330 ml capacity per minute will fill as per the supply contract within 2.5 ml. However, a standard deviation for a volumetric filler as low as 0.58 ml has been quoted. As with the probe filler, these fillers are fitted with electro-pneumatic valves, enabling accurate control of the... 

The state variables that provide valve position control are used to diagnose the health of the final control element. In addition, some digital valve controller designs integrate additional sensors into their construction to provide increased diagnostic capability. For example, pressure sensors are provided to detect supply pressure, actuator pressure (upper and lower cylinder pressures in the case of a springless piston actuator), and internal pilot pressure. Also, the position of the pneumatic relay valve is available in some designs to provide quiescent flow data used for leak detection in the actuator. 

Propellant Filler Unit. The propellant filler may also be compared with a syringe piston system, as was the concentrate-product filler. When the pneumatic pump pushes on the piston, a very high pressure builds up in the metering cylinder of the filler. A filling head is connected to the outlet of the metering cylinder and allows the introduction of the propellant into the container through the valve. As seen previously, this technique is called pressure filling. 

To control the propellant pressure injection, that is, the pressure necessary to inject liquid propellant through the valve, an air regulator is fitted on the inlet of the pneumatic cylinder, as shown in Figs. 27 and 28. By adjusting the amount of air pressure allowed in the pneumatic cylinder, it is possible to decrease or increase the propellant pressure injection. This pressure injection varies, according to the type of valve, between 500 and 800 psi. Manufactures of valves usually recommend specific pressure injection for their products. 

Retraction systems automatically withdraw the furnace camera several feet back from the firebox if the systems sense loss of either water, air coolant, or high lens tube temperature. This gives the lens additional protection from the heated air that would blow against the lens if fans stopped and negative pressure changed to positive pressure. The retraction system is often air-operated, using an air-reserve tank as a purely pneumatic system component. This makes it totally independent of electricity. On loss of air pressure, water coolant, or high lens tube temperature, a solenoid valve opens and activates a rodless cylinder to withdraw the lens from harms way. The system will not return the camera to its inserted position until the problem is corrected.

In the DuPont 848 liquid chromatograph, a special Haskel mini-pump is used, derived from the Haskel Model M. The volume of the cylinder is small (about 2 ml). In the original Haskel Model M pump, the return of the piston is actuated by an air selector valve and a spring, so that the liquid pressure is not constant because the gas piston must compress the spring during its forward stroke. In the modified pump, the spring is replaced with a small counter-pressure. The main characteristics of commercial pneumatic amplifier pumps are summarized in Table I. 

The compressor is a device that increases the pressure of air and pumps the compressed air into a tank. The compressed air tank is called a reservoir. The compressed air is then routed to the desired location through transmission lines. Transmission lines are tubing through which the compressed air flows. Control valves regulate the flow of gases. The pneumatic system uses a cylinder with a movable piston to convert its fluid power into mechanical power in the form of linear motion. 

The Plunger Up Control controls utilizes an FPS (Flexible Pressure System) control valve which can be set to supply four different pressure values (three different positive values and zero) to the plunger s pneumatic cylinder over the duration of the pressing cycle. As depicted in Figure 7, typically we have ... 

Static pinch valve The feed tube from the product tank passes underneath the pneumatic pinch cylinder. When the valve is closed, the pneumatic cylinder closes the tube. When the cylinder opens, the product flows through the tube to the dispenser nozzle. 

Fig. 4 shows the most basic components of a pneumatic system, a three-port valve (3PV) and a single acting cylinder (SAC). The steps below describe the operation of the system when the push button of the valve is pressed. The first step is a. Put the others in the correct sequence. 

Fig. 35. Diagram of the system used to pressure-eject peptides from multibarrelled pipettes. A pressure of (50 Ib/in ) was supplied to the system from a nitrogen cylinder through a standard gas regulator in series with A, an electronic/pneumatic valve, and an adjustable needle valve control B. A toggle switch two-way valve C was used either to connect the remainder of the system to the pressure cylinder, or to open it to the atmosphere through an exhaust. A pressure transducer (Statham PM6) was connected at D, to each of the individual pipette lines E. Pressure tubing was secured to the side barrels of the multibarrelled electrode by O ring connectors. Z and Y represent a second means of control in which the pressure application was controlled by the output of the conventional electrical stimulator, using a circuit identical to that developed by McCaman et al. (1977). (From Dingledine et ah, 1980.)...

One of the most common track-and-column braiders is based on a pneumatic actuatirm system (Figure 7.14). The yam carrier tracks are actuated by one two-way pneumatic cylinder, which allows moving the yam tracks back and forth by switching one general track movement valve. Thus, the absolute track displacement value is defined by the cam of the pneumatic cylinders. The movements of the tracks are transferred to the yam carriers within the track due to the design of the tracks, which have multiple cavities containing the yam carrier. 

Actuators for control valves come in three basic designs pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic. Pneumatic actuators, which convert air pressure to mechanical energy, use three designs diaphragm, piston, and vane. Electrically operated actuators convert electricity to mechanical energy. Common examples include solenoid valves and motor-driven actuators. Hydraulically operated actuators convert liquid pressure to mechanical energy. The hydraulic actuator uses a liquid-tight cylinder and piston to move or position the valve stem.
