Redundant valve manifold system

1. A redundant valve manifold system comprising:

at least two automatic valves coupled to one another; and

at least two automatic isolation valves each corresponding to one of the at least two automatic valves, wherein each of at least two automatic isolation valves is operatively coupled to one of the at least two automatic valves and isolates the one of the at least two automatic valves when the one of the at least two automatic valves is removed from the system to deliver media to an outlet,

wherein the automatic valves are connected in a series configuration, and an output of the first automatic valve is a sole input of the second automatic valve,

wherein one of the at least two automatic valves or one of the at least two automatic isolation valves includes a pin including a pin opening, the pin defining a pin fluid passage in fluid communication with the pin opening and that is received in a valve seat passage of a valve seat, and the other of the one of the at least two automatic valves or the one of the at least two automatic isolation valves includes a ball and a resilient member that are received in a ball fluid passage that is in fluid communication with the pin fluid passage,

wherein when the one of the at least two automatic valves is installed in the system, the pin contacts the ball to compress the resilient member and push the ball away from the valve seat, and the pin fluid passage and the pin openings are in fluid communication with the valve fluid passage to allow the media to flow through the valve fluid passage, the pin opening in the pin, and the pin fluid passage of the pin.

2. The redundant valve manifold system as recited in claim 1 , wherein if one of the at least two automatic valves fails and is removed from the system, the associated one of the automatic isolation valves automatically actuates, and as the pin is removed from the valve seat passage of the valve seat, the resilient member biases the ball towards the valve seat, blocking the flow of the media through the valve seat passage to isolate the one of the at least two automatic valves from service to allow for replacement.

3. The redundant valve manifold system as recited in claim 1 , including at least two indicators each associated with one of the at least two automatic valves, wherein each of the at least two indicators indicate if the associated automatic valve has failed.

The redundant valve manifold system as recited in claim 1 , wherein when the at least two automatic valves are in the energized state, the media is able to flow through the system and to the outlet, and when all the at least two automatic valves are in the de-energized state, the media is unable to flow through the system and to the outlet, and some of the media flows to an exhaust.

10. The redundant valve manifold system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least two automatic valves comprise a first automatic valve, a second automatic valve, a third automatic valve, and a fourth automatic valve that can each be in an energized state or a de-energized state, and the at least two automatic isolation valves comprise a first automatic isolation valve, a second automatic isolation valve, a third automatic isolation valve, and a fourth automatic isolation valve, respectively.

11. The redundant valve manifold system as recited in claim 10 , wherein the system receives three input signals comprising a first input signal, a second input signal, and a third input signal, wherein the first automatic valve and the second automatic valve together receive the first input signal, the third automatic valve receives the second input signal, and the fourth automatic valve receives the third input signal, wherein two out of the three input signals are required to maintain an output at the outlet.

12. The redundant valve manifold system as recited in claim 10 , wherein the system receives four input signals comprising a first input signal, a second input signal, a third input signal, and a fourth input signal, wherein the first automatic valve receives the first input signal, the second automatic valve receives the second input signal, the third automatic valve receives the third input signal, and the fourth automatic valve receives the fourth input signal, and three out of the four input signals are required to maintain an output at the outlet.

13. The redundant valve manifold system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least two automatic valves comprise a first automatic valve and a second automatic valve that can each be in an energized state or a de-energized state, and the at least two automatic isolation valves comprise a first automatic isolation valve and a second automatic isolation valve, respectively.

14. The redundant valve manifold system as recited in claim 13 , wherein the system receives two input signals comprising a first input signal and a second input signal, wherein the first automatic valve receives the first input signal and the second automatic valve receives the second input signal, and two out of two input signals are required to maintain an output at the outlet.

15. The redundant valve manifold system as recited in claim 13 , wherein the system receives two input signals comprising a first input signal and a second input signal, wherein the first automatic valve receives the first input signal and the second automatic valve receives the second input signal, and one out of two input signals are required to maintain an output at the outlet.

16. A redundant valve manifold system comprising:

at least two automatic valves coupled to one another;

at least two automatic isolation valves each corresponding to one of the at least two automatic valves, wherein each of at least two automatic isolation valves is operatively coupled to one of the at least two automatic valves and isolates the one of the at least two automatic valves when the one of the at least two automatic valves is removed from the system to deliver media to an outlet;
