QUICK-ACTING, SELF-RESETTING FLUID PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A valve that stores and releases pressurized fluid periodically and automatically using just the energy present within the fluid. A Belleville spring is employed in combination with a poppet valve arrangement to snap the valve open and to reclose the valve automatically. Build-up of pressure within the storage chamber of the valve assembly moves the valve against the compression of the Belleville spring until that point is reached wherein the spring snaps through carrying the valve to its full open position releasng the pressurized contents.
