Pressure Balancing Metering Subassembly For Use With A Modular Egr Valve

View page
US Patent:
6435168, Aug 20, 2002
Filed:
Nov 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/721225
Inventors:
Raul A. Bircann - Penfield NY
Dwight O. Palmer - Rochester NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
F02M 2507
US Classification:
12356821, 25112907
Abstract:
A pressure balancing metering subassembly for use with a modular actuator of an EGR valve includes a metering base which defines a metering port and a pressure chamber. An elongate poppet includes a first end normally disposed in sealing engagement with the metering port. The poppet is selectively reciprocated to disengage the first end from sealing engagement with the metering port to thereby fluidly connect the metering port with the pressure chamber. Pressure balancing means balance the pressure at the first end of the poppet with the pressure at a second end of the poppet.

Shaft Leakage Arresting System For A Gas Management Valve

View page
US Patent:
6439213, Aug 27, 2002
Filed:
Feb 20, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/788741
Inventors:
Raul A. Bircann - Penfield NY
Dwight O. Palmer - Rochester NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
F02M 2502
US Classification:
12356821, 25112915
Abstract:
A leakage arresting system comprising a novel gas arrestor for installation on an interrupted pintle shaft in a pintle-type valve, such as an exhaust gas recirculation valve for an internal combustion engine, for preventing leakage of gas and moisture along the pintle shaft into the actuator, to prevent corrosion and failure of the actuator. The system comprises two elements: a pintle shaft which is interrupted outside the actuator, and a positive vapor block in the form of a cup-shaped arrestor disposed across the pintle interruption. The invention is applicable to both unbalanced and force-balanced valves.

Shaft Brush For Preventing Coking In A Gas Management Valve

View page
US Patent:
6453934, Sep 24, 2002
Filed:
Feb 7, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/778538
Inventors:
Raul A. Bircann - Penfield NY
Dwight O. Palmer - Rochester NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
F16K 1100
US Classification:
137242, 25112915
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an annular metal-bristled brush for cleaning the pintle shaft of a pintle valve, such as an exhaust gas recirculation valve for an internal combustion engine, to prevent coking and failure of the valve. The brush surrounds the shaft, the tips of the bristles making contact with the shaft with sufficient force to dislodge incipient coke deposits but with insufficient force to inhibit the axial motion of the pintle shaft in actuation. Preferably, the brush is disposed in an annular space in the valve body between the pintle shaft bearing and the gas-metering chamber such that the shaft is brushed in both directions during each actuative cycle of the valve. Preferably, the annular space is slightly larger both axially and radially than the corresponding dimensions of the brush so that the brush is free to float without binding the pintle shaft.

Adaptable Gas And Moisture Shield For A Gas Management Valve

View page
US Patent:
6467754, Oct 22, 2002
Filed:
Feb 20, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/788740
Inventors:
Raul A. Bircann - Penfield NY
Dwight O. Palmer - Rochester NY
Paul L. Gluchowski - Rochester NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
F16K 3144
US Classification:
251214, 25112915
Abstract:
A shield for a gas management pintle valve, such as an exhaust gas recirculation valve for an internal combustion engine, for mitigating leakage of gas and moisture along the valve pintle into the actuator, to prevent corrosion and failure of the actuator. The shield is a tubular member having an equatorial radial flange and is slidably mounted on the pintle in an annular chamber between the valve body and the actuator. The inner diameter of the tube is selected to be as close-fitting to the pintle as possible while still being slidable thereupon to be adapted to either of two operating positions. During engine shutdowns, the shield is drawn by gravity toward the valve body to form a first seal with the flange against the pintle bearing or a bearing splash shield, preventing or minimizing the escape of moist, hot gases under low pressure from the valve along the pintle. During engine running, high-pressure exhaust gases within the valve may be forced along the pintle through the bearing bore and bearing splash shield toward the actuator. The gases force the shield to slide along the pintle, opening the first seal and forming a second seal with the flange against the actuator, allowing the leaked gases to escape radially from the pintle without invading the actuator.

Egr Valve With Self-Temperature Compensated Bearing

View page
US Patent:
6467959, Oct 22, 2002
Filed:
Apr 17, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/836848
Inventors:
Raul Armando Bircann - Penfield NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
F16C 1712
US Classification:
384 9, 384 28, 384278, 384905
Abstract:
An EGR valve having a self-compensating bearing assembly for use with a valve member having a shaft reciprocable within a valve body, includes a rigid bearing member for providing radial support and axial guidance to the valve shaft as the shaft reciprocates in the valve body; and a pliant annulus supporting the bearing member, where the pliant annulus has a density and thickness sufficient to accommodate distortion of the rigid bearing member in response to changes in temperature without interfering with shaft actuation.

Valve Shaft Scraper And Filter For Preventing Coking

View page
US Patent:
6481424, Nov 19, 2002
Filed:
Apr 17, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/836847
Inventors:
Raul Armando Bircann - Penfield NY
Dwight Orman Palmer - Rochester NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
F02M 2507
US Classification:
12356811, 12356823, 12356826
Abstract:
A valve shaft scraping and filtering device for use in an engine valve includes a woven mesh annulus disposed within a valve assembly and surrounding the valve shaft such that the annulus gently scrapes the valve shaft as the valve shaft reciprocates within the valve assembly without interfering with shaft actuation. The annulus may be made with a high density weave and utilized as a filter or particulate seal to trap loose particulates which may be present within the valve.

Pintle Valve Having An Internal Flow Modifier With Self-Aligning Head

View page
US Patent:
6484705, Nov 26, 2002
Filed:
Feb 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/790267
Inventors:
Raul A. Bircann - Penfield NY
Dwight O. Palmer - Rochester NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
F02M 2507
US Classification:
12356818, 12356811
Abstract:
A flow modifier for insertion into the chamber of a large pintle valve to change the apparent flow range of the valve to that of a smaller valve. The flow modifier includes a perforated cup-shaped restrictor disposed within the valve on the valve pintle and sealingly surrounding the valve seat such that all flow through the valve must pass through the passageways in the restrictor. The restrictor is held in place by a compression spring surrounding the pintle. The total open area of the passageways may be varied by varying their number and/or size and is preferably substantially less than the open area of the valve seat. The restrictor thus acts as a flow choke or fixed throttle to reduce the flow range of the valve. Different restrictors may be provided as required to size a single large valve having a large inherent flow range to a plurality of applications requiring valves having smaller flow ranges. A further embodiment includes a valve head resiliently and articulably mounted on the internal end of the valve pintle.

Egr Metering Subassembly Including A Gas Arrestor

View page
US Patent:
6497225, Dec 24, 2002
Filed:
Nov 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/721223
Inventors:
Raul A. Bircann - Penfield NY
Dwight O. Palmer - Rochester NY
Assignee:
Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI
International Classification:
F02M 2507
US Classification:
12356811, 12356821, 25112915
Abstract:
A metering subassembly for use with a modular EGR valve includes a metering subassembly having an elongate metering shaft. A flanged end of the metering shaft is disposed a predetermined distance above a top surface of the metering subassembly. The metering subassembly is configured for being coupled to an actuator subassembly such that the flanged end of the metering shaft is disposed proximate the actuator subassembly. A gas arrestor includes a side wall interconnected with a collar. The collar surrounds a periphery of the flanged end. The side wall extends from the collar in a direction generally toward the top surface of the metering subassembly.
