Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent generation of steam leakage and excessive heating of an expansible medium by sealing the expansible medium between two diaphragms, one of which opens or closes a first valve port while the other of which opens or closes a second valve port. CONSTITUTION:In the case where a temperature of condensation flowing from an inlet 4 to a valve chamber 3 is high, an expansible medium 8 is expanded to displace an upper diaphragm 9 upward while a lower diaphragm 10 downward. The lover diaphragm 10 is seated in a second valve port 7 for closure, to stop flowing-out of the condensation at a desired temperature. If the lower diaphragm 10 cannot be fully closed due to dust or scale intruded between the lower diaphragm 10 and the second valve port 7, the expansible medium 8 is expanded with application of heat, and accordingly, the upper diaphragm 9 is displaced further upward. The upper diaphragm 9 is seated in a first valve port 6 for closure, to stop flowing-out of the condensation at a temperature a little higher than the desired temperature.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional thermally responsive steam trap will be explained with reference to Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-46318. This uses an expansion medium in the temperature-sensitive element.The valve casing forms an inlet, a valve chamber, and an outlet.The valve chamber and outlet are connected by a valve opening.The dish-shaped wall member is attached to the casing. A diaphragm is attached to a dish-shaped wall member, and an expansion medium is sealed between the dish-shaped wall member and the diaphragm.The expansion and contraction action of the expansion medium drives the diaphragm to open and close the valve port. This is what I did. The expansion medium used is water and a mixture with a fluid having a lower boiling point than water.

When condensate at a temperature higher than a desired temperature flows into the valve chamber, the expansion medium expands, displacing the diaphragm member and closing the valve port to prevent steam from being discharged. When the temperature of the condensate in the valve chamber decreases, the expansion medium contracts, causing the diaphragm to separate from the valve port, opening the valve port, and discharging condensate below a desired temperature to the outside of the system.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] The above thermally responsive steel
The expansion medium of the Mutrap is formed to have a boiling point several dozen degrees lower than that of water, and the valve is designed to open when the temperature of the condensate to be discharged is several degrees lower than the saturation temperature of steam. . This is because there is a time lag between the temperature of the condensate flowing into the valve chamber and the temperature of the expansion medium due to transmission, so if the expansion medium is designed to expand at the saturation temperature of steam and close the valve, This is because the data will be leaked.

[Operation] The operation of the above technical means is as follows. The expansion medium sealed between the two diaphragms expands when the temperature of the condensate flowing in from the inlet is high, and directs each of the two diaphragms toward the first and second valve ports facing each other. Displace it. At this time, since the first valve port communicates with the inlet and the second valve port communicates with the outlet, first, only the second valve port is closed by one of the opposing diaphragms.

If dust, scale, etc. get caught between one diaphragm and the second valve port and the valve cannot be completely closed, the expansion medium is further heated and expands, and the other diaphragm is further inserted into the first valve port. and close the first valve port. Therefore, no steam leakage occurs and no excessive heating of the expansion medium occurs.
