Abstract

A valve assembly, includes a first lumen; a second lumen providing fluid communication between a plurality of points in said first lumen; and a ball and spring assembly sealingly disposed in said first lumen between said plurality of points, wherein said spring exerts a force on said ball to seal said first lumen; wherein said valve assembly is configured to oscillate a pressure of a fluid passing through said valve assembly.

Claims (12)

1. A valve assembly, comprising:

a first lumen;

a second lumen providing fluid communication between a plurality of points in said first lumen; and

a ball and spring assembly sealingly disposed in said first lumen between said plurality of points, wherein said ball has a first sealing position and a second sealing position;

wherein said spring exerts a force on said ball to selectively seal said first lumen in said first sealing position;

wherein said valve assembly is configured to oscillate a pressure of a fluid passing through said valve assembly.

2. The valve assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a volume regulator disposed in said second lumen; wherein said volume regulator is configured to vary a fluid pressure exerted on said ball.

3. The valve assembly of claim 2 , wherein said volume regulator comprises a needle valve configured to regulate a fluid flow through said second lumen.

4. The valve assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a trigger valve fluidly coupled to an inlet of said first lumen;

wherein said trigger valve is configured to selectively control a flow of liquids into said valve assembly.
