| 20160376913 | PRESSURE LIMITERS - A bleed valve system includes a flow path defined between a system inlet and a system outlet. A pressure control mechanism is defined in the flow path downstream from the system inlet to selectively block fluid flow in the flow path. A pressure limiter is defined in the flow path downstream from the system inlet and upstream from the pressure control mechanism to block the flow path when the pressure at the system inlet is greater than the pressure capacity of the pressure control mechanism. | 12-29-2016 |
