AXIAL FLUID VALVES WITH ANNULAR FLOW CONTROL MEMBERS.

摘要

The axial fluid valve (100) described herein includes an axial flow valve body 102, 104) defining a passageway (114) between an inlet (116) and an outlet (116). The example axial fluid valve includes a sleeve (106) slidably received by an inner surface of the axial flow valve body and movable along an axis substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the passageway. The example axial fluid valve includes a linkage (110) or a gear operatively connected to the sleeve to move the sleeve to vary a flow of fluid between the inlet and the outlet through the sleeve.
