Abstract
A centralized automatic fluid or gas spill prevention and shut-off valve system that prevents line ruptures comprising means to reduce fluid pressures, such as gas, to appropriate levels, a continuous monitoring of downstream conditions, an immediate stop system of major spillage caused by excessive flow wherein said immediate stop system automatically shuts off the flow of fluids, means for timed shut off of minor fluid flows that exceed a predetermined amount of time and a restarting system that restarts when overflow conditions are corrected, wherein said restarting system works automatically or manually.
Claims12
A fluid flow control system that detects and prevents fluid leakage comprising a valve system wherein said valve system comprises;
- a. a main fluid inlet,
- b. a main fluid outlet,
- c. several internal paths, wherein said several internal paths comprises a first internal path for a flow,
- d. several chambers, wherein said several chambers comprises a first chamber,
- e. several sub-systems, wherein said subsystems comprises a pressure regulator sub-system, a continuous measuring sub-system and a automatic shut off sub-system, wherein said pressure regulator sub-system comprises a first device that regulates the flow by means of a first device displacement with respect to said first internal path generating a hydraulic or pneumatic negative feedback automatic control of a downstream fluid pressure;
- and
- f. wherein said automatic shut off system comprises a second device that regulates the flow by means of a second device displacement, wherein said second device displacement is induced by said first device displacement creating a concurrent hydraulic or pneumatic positive feedback automatic control of the downstream fluid pressure that overrides the first device pressure and flow controlling action at an adjustable flow rate.
