Abstract
An apparatus comprises a body, a first poppet, and a second poppet. The body comprises a first fluid channel and a second fluid channel. The first fluid channel and the second fluid channel are operable to be fluidly isolated from each other. The first poppet is positioned in the first fluid channel, and the first poppet is operable to be moveable within the first fluid channel. The second poppet is positioned within the second fluid channel, and the second poppet is operable to be moveable within the second fluid channel. The first poppet and the second poppet are operable to be mechanically coupled together such that movement of the first poppet within the first channel is operable to cause sympathetic movement of the second poppet within the second fluid channel.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- (a) a body comprising a first fluid channel and a second fluid channel, wherein the first fluid channel and the second fluid channel are configured to be fluidly isolated from each other;
- (b) a first poppet positioned within the first fluid channel, wherein the first poppet is operable to be moveable within the first fluid channel;
- and
- (c) a second poppet positioned within the second fluid channel, wherein the second poppet is operable to be moveable within the second fluid channel, wherein the first poppet and the second poppet are configured to be coupled together such that movement of the first poppet within the first fluid channel is operable to cause sympathetic movement of the second poppet within the second fluid channel.
An apparatus comprising:
- (a) a body, wherein the body defines a first vertical channel extending therethrough, wherein the body further defines a second vertical channel extending therethrough;
- (b) a first poppet positioned within the first vertical channel, wherein the first vertical channel is operable to receive a fluid operable to lift the first poppet within the first vertical channel;
- and
- (c) a second poppet positioned within the second vertical channel, wherein the second poppet is seated in a poppet seat, where the second poppet is moveable between a seated position and an unseated position, wherein the poppet in the unseated position is operable to permit the flow of fluid through the second vertical channel.
An apparatus comprising:
- (a) a body, the body defining at least one channel extending therethrough;
- (b) a poppet positioned within the body, wherein the poppet is operable to travel within the at least one channel, wherein the poppet is configured to be seated within a poppet seat, wherein the body is configured to receive a volume of fluid operable to raise the poppet above the poppet seat, wherein the poppet is configured to selectively raise a gas poppet and initiate a flow of gas through the body.
