Embodiment Construction
[0016] A conventional disk assembly for use with a fluid regulator includes a sealing disk positioned in a disk holder and partially retained in the disk sealing disk by a disk holder. When using such a conventional disc assembly, pressure may build up between the disc holder and the rear side of the sealing disc. If built up, this pressure has the potential to cause the sealing disc to slip and / or pop out of the disc holder. Different coefficients of thermal expansion between the disc holder and the disc holder may contribute to the build-up of pressure near the rear side of the sealing disc when conventional disc assemblies are subjected to extreme temperature changes. For example, when the disc holder and the disc holder expand and / or contract at different rates relative to each other in response to changes in temperature, fluid may potentially leak through and / or around the disc holder and disc holder. O-rings between the disc holders and are intended to provide a seal be...
