The fluid flow control apparatus includes at least one controllable first valve configured to selectively discharge a first fluid through at least one first outlet, and a first flow path disposed to allow the first fluid to flow therethrough and surround the at least one first valve.
Claims20
A fluid flow control apparatus comprising:
- one or more first controllable valves configured to selectively discharge a flow of a first fluid through one or more first outlets;
- and
- a first flow path allowing the flow of the first fluid to flow through the first flow path and disposed to surround the one or more first controllable valves.
A method of controlling a fluid flow control apparatus, the method comprising:
- measuring a current temperature and a current pressure of a fluid flowing through a flow path of the fluid flow control apparatus, the flow path comprising one or more outlets configured to discharge the fluid, wherein an openable valve is disposed at each of the one or more outlets, the flow path being disposed to surround the valves;
- and
- determining whether to open a valve based on the current temperature and the current pressure of the fluid.
A sensor cleaning system comprising:
- one or more first nozzles;
- and
- a fluid flow control apparatus configured to direct a first fluid to each of the one or more first nozzles, the fluid flow control apparatus comprising:
- a first flow path configured such that the first fluid flows through the first flow path;
- one or more outlets connected to the first flow path and configured to be in fluid communication with each of the one or more first nozzles;
- and
- one or more first valves configured to selectively discharge the first fluid through the one or more first outlets,
- wherein the first flow path is configured to surround the one or more first valves.
