Thermisches Expansionsventil

摘要

A thermal expansion valve drives a valve body (18) in a housing (10) through a driving member (22) by a gas pressure of a heat sensitive working fluid sealed in a power element (20), neighboring with the housing, by a diaphragm (19). The driving member holds a heat ballast at its blind hole opened to the working fluid. A diaphragm has a center opening surrounded by a tubular projection (30), the diaphragm side end portion of the driving member is inserted in the opening, and a diaphragm catch (32) is fitted on the outer periphery of the projection. The catch, the extended end of the projection and the end of the driving member are airtightly welded each other.
