Patent ID: 7905252

Claim:
A fluid dispensing system, comprising: a manifold defining a first fluid passageway adapted to be connected in fluid communication with a fluid supply container, a second fluid passageway, and an outlet port in fluid communication with the second fluid passageway, the outlet port adapted to be connected in fluid communication with a fluid storage container; and a valve coupled to the manifold and comprising: a valve element adapted for displacement along a longitudinal axis between an open position and a closed position for controlling the flow of fluid from the first fluid passageway of the manifold to the outlet port of the manifold, a valve inlet passageway disposed inside of the manifold and in direct fluid communication with the first fluid passageway of the manifold, a valve outlet passageway disposed inside of the manifold and in direct fluid communication with the second fluid passageway of the manifold, a first pressure sensing passageway adapted to be in fluid communication with the fluid supply container for communicating a first pressure to a first pressure sensing surface of the valve element, and a second pressure sensing passageway adapted to be in fluid communication with the fluid storage container for communicating a second pressure to a second pressure sensing surface of the valve element.
