Sealed assembly to prevent damage from explosive decompression and block fitting assembly containing it

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an elastomeric seal capable of minimizing damage to the elastomeric seals during decompression of an air conditioning system while maintaining a required sealing function.;SOLUTION: A seal assembly for an air conditioning system includes an annular inner seal member and an annular outer seal member coupled to the annular inner seal member. The annular outer seal member has a first recess formed in a first surface thereof. The first recess transitions between a substantially closed configuration when the annular outer seal member is compressed and a substantially open configuration when the annular outer seal member is decompressed.;SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1;COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT
