Abstract

Abstract A pressure governor valve having a casing with an inlet on the primary side and an outlet on the secondary side thereof. A passage is formed in the casing and communicates the inlet with the outlet. A pressure governor valve is mounted in the casing for closing said passage on the inlet side thereof, and a flow control valve is interposed at an intermediate portion of the passage between the outlet and the pressure governor valve.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 234 words
A pressure governor valve equipped with a flow control valve which comprises: a casing having a primary side provided with an inlet and a secondary side provided with an outlet; a first passage disposed inside said casing and communicating said inlet with said outlet, and having an intermediate portion; a pressure governor valve, including a valve body, closing said first passage on the side of said inlet; a rod attached to the valve body of said pressure governor valve and brought into contact with a piston imparted with a load by a pressure governing spring; said pressure governing spring acting on the valve body of said pressure governor valve and opening said valve with an adjustable pressure to reduce the pressure in said first passage to a predetermined pressure between the pressure governor valve and said outlet during both dynamic flow and static operative conditions; a flow control valve interposed at the intermediate portion of said passage between said outlet and said pressure governor valve; a second passage disposed inside said casing in parallel with said first passage and communicating said inlet with said outlet; and, a check valve means mounted in said second passage to block flow from said inlet to said outlet, forcing all fluid flow from said inlet to said outlet through said first passage and allowing return free flow from said outlet to said inlet when inlet pressure is exhausted.
