Abstract
Abstract A valve for passing a first fluid in response to the pressure of a second fluid comprising a body having first fluid inlet and outlet ports connected by an internal fluid passage, a second fluid inlet port, and first and second internal chambers; a first flexible diaphragm mounted on the body and dividing the first chamber into separate first and second portions, the former portion communicating with the second fluid inlet port; a second flexible diaphragm mounted in the second chamber; a movable rigid connector extending between the diaphragms; and passage sealing means in the internal fluid passage including structure disposed to engage the second diaphragm, whereby movement of that diaphragm is operative to seal the passage.

A system for mixing separate fluids comprising an eductor assembly and a valve for passing a first fluid through a first fluid line to said assembly in response to pressure in a second fluid line, said second line being directly connected to said assembly, said valve comprising a body having first fluid inlet and outlet ports connected by an internal fluid passage, a second fluid inlet port connected to said second line and first and second internal chambers, a first flexible diaphragm mounted on said body and dividing said first chamber into separate first and second portions, said first portion communicating with said second fluid inlet port, a second flexible diaphragm mounted on said body and in said second chamber, a free floating rigid connector extending between said diaphragms, a vent passage connecting the space between said diaphragms with the exterior of the valve, passage sealing means in said internal fluid passage including structure disposed to engage said second diaphragm, whereby movement of said second diaphragm is operative to open said passage, biasing means which bias said first flexible diaphragm in a direction away from said rigid connector, each said diaphragm comprising a unitary rubber disc having a thick central portion and a thinner peripheral portion, each disc being clamped by said body around the entire peripheral portion of the disc.
