Abstract
Description
機器の運転の停止等により圧力配管の圧力が極端に低下すると液体(油)がオイルポートから徐々に排出され、これに伴って封入ガス圧によりベローズキャップがオイルポートに近付く方向へ移動する。ベローズキャップがオイルポートに十分に近付くと、ベローズキャップにシールホルダを介して保持されたシールのゴム状弾性体が着座面に着座してシール作用を発揮し、液室を閉塞する。したがって液室内に一部の液体が閉じ込められ、この閉じ込められた液体の圧力とガス室のガス圧力とが均衡するので、ベローズに過大な応力が作用してベローズが破損するのが抑制される。
火災の発生等により液室内の液体およびガス室内のガスが急激に膨張するとこの高温高圧によって、ベローズキャップがオイルポートに近付く方向へ移動するとともに、ベローズキャップにシールホルダを介して保持されたシールのゴム状弾性体が消失(焼失)する。ゴム状弾性体が消失するとこれに代わってシールホルダが着座面に着座するが、シールホルダには予め円周上一部の凹凸が設けられているので、この凹凸によってシールホルダおよび着座面間に第1圧力開放流路が形成される。一方、シールはゴム状弾性体が消失して金属部材のみとなっており、この金属部材はシールホルダに係合することによって着座面に着座せず着座面から離れた位置で停止するので、金属部材および着座面間に第2圧力開放流路が形成される。したがってこれら第1および第2圧力開放流路によって液室とオイルポートとが連通し、液室内の圧力がオイルポートを介して圧力配管側へ開放される。また、この状態では高圧によってベローズが破損するため、ガス室内の圧力も同様の経路で開放される。
(1)シールホルダに圧抜き機構を設置することで火災時にシールが消失後、バックアップフルードが排出、ベローズが破損し、内圧を開放する。
(2)
(2-1)シールホルダに圧力逃がし機構(溝、突起、複数支持)を設置する。
(2-2)シェル(ステー)の凹みより、シールホルダの厚みを大きくする。
(2-3)ガスケット金属環(シールの金属部材)の外径をシールホルダの内径より大きくする。
(2-4)シールホルダとシェル(ステー)はシール機能に鑑み、通常使用時メタルタッチしても良い。
