PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE

摘要

A high pressure container arrangement (16) is disclosed. It comprises the assembly of reservoir (22) and a pressure limiting valve (14). The reservoir (22) has an outer wall (20), an over pressure relief orifice (26) through which high pressure fluid may flow when the fluid pressure inside the reservoir (22) exceeds a predetermined pressure threshold. The valve (14) comprises a housing (30) in which is arranged a closing member (40) permanently biased by a spring (56) toward a closed position and, when the pressure in the reservoir (22) exceeds the predetermined threshold the closing member (40) is pushed in an open position. The housing (30) of the valve (14) is integral to the wall (20) of the reservoir (22).
