Title: Magnetically actuated vapor recovery valve providing proportional volume flow rate control for petrol pumps
Inventor: GRAY JOHN M
IPC: B67D7/04
Filed: 2010-09-22
Abstract: 598980 Disclosed is a system including a magnetically actuated vapor recovery valve for recovering fuel vapors from a refuelling station safely for return to the ullage space of a bulk storage tank. The valve comprises a valve body having a fluid flow path and a vapor flow path, the fluid flow path and the vapor flow path being fluidly isolated from each other. A vapor control valve is positioned in the vapor flow path and is movable between a first position where the vapor control valve is closed and does not allow vapour flow and a second position where the vapor control valve is open, allowing fuel vapour flow. An actuator is magnetically coupled to the vapor control valve, the actuator being configured such that sufficient fluid flow through the fluid flow path in a first direction causes the actuator to move the vapor control valve from the first position to the second position in a second direction that is generally opposite as the first direction. Sustained sufficient fluid flow through the fluid flow path causes the vapor control valve to be maintained in the second position. A fail safe spring mechanism maintains the vapour recovery valve in the first position when no fluid flows through the fluid flow path.
