Reversed Actuator With Minimal Leak Potential

US Patent:
2008000, Jan 3, 2008
Filed:
Jun 30, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/479794
Inventors:
Micah S. Abel - Chandler AZ, US
Charles E. Kesner - Mesa AZ, US
Craig T. Dorste - Phoenix AZ, US
Javier Gutierrez - Chandler AZ, US
International Classification:
F16K 31/00
US Classification:
251 62
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for a valve actuator assembly comprising an actuator housing, a piston, and a spring. The piston is disposed within the actuator housing. The piston is configured to couple to a valve element, and includes an inner cylindrical section and an outer cylindrical section. The outer cylindrical section of the piston is spaced apart from the inner cylindrical section to define a recess. The piston is further configured to move within the actuator housing in a first direction and a second direction, to thereby move the valve element toward a first position and a second position, respectively. The spring is disposed within the actuator housing, and is configured to supply a bias force that urges the piston to move in the first direction. The spring is at least partially disposed within the recess, and at least partially surrounding the inner cylindrical section.

Bleed Valve Outlet Flow Deflector

US Patent:
7797945, Sep 21, 2010
Filed:
Sep 6, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/517139
Inventors:
Andrew Appleby - Phoenix AZ, US
Charles E. Kesner - Mesa AZ, US
Todd C. Garrod - Gilbert AZ, US
Joel E. LaBenz - Chandler AZ, US
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
F01D 25/00
US Classification:
60795, 415144
Abstract:
A bleed valve assembly for discharging bleed air into a gas turbine engine bypass plenum includes a bleed flow duct, a bleed valve, and a flow deflector. The bleed flow duct is contoured such that it delivers uniformly flowing bleed air to the flow deflector when the bleed valve is in the open position. The flow deflector has a plurality of openings formed therein. Each opening fluidly communicates the bleed air flow passage with the bypass plenum. A portion of the openings are oriented at a discharge angle such that bleed air is discharged from each opening in a direction that does not have a vector component in the direction in which air is flowing in the bypass plenum, and another portion of the openings are oriented to provide stress relief to the deflector.
