DOOR ASSEMBLY FOR A FLUID HANDLING SYSTEM

摘要

Embodiments of a door assembly with a door component that can open and close in response to pressure of fluids that flow in a fluid handling system. These embodiments utilize elements to seat and lock the door in position without the need for manual intervention and/or interaction, e.g., by a technician and/or maintenance personnel. However, these elements do not need to support the weight of the door and, thus, provide a more robust and cost effective design to achieve automated and reliable operation necessary for use in fluid handling systems.

主权项

1. A door assembly, comprising:
a door component with a pivot axis that permits the door component to move between a first position and a second position, the door component having a bottom portion with an engagement feature extending generally downwardly from the door component; and a reset component comprising a latch component that engages the engagement feature in the first position and a grabber element having at least one orientation that biases the door component toward the first position.
