[0020] Working principle

[0021] After the reheat main steam valve, steam enters through the steam inlet end on one side of the valve body 14, passes through the filter screen, and enters the regulating valve chamber. Steam enters through the annular sleeve through hole of the valve cover 12 and the bushing through hole of the bushing 15, flowing upward into the valve disc 11 through the gap between the bushing 15 and the valve disc 11. Then, steam enters through the connecting sleeve through hole on the connecting sleeve 6 of the intermediate pressure regulating valve. The pre-opening valve chamber is formed in the area enclosed by the lower end face of the extension section of the intermediate pressure regulating valve connecting sleeve 6, the inner side wall of the valve disc 11, the upper end of the lower end face of the valve disc 11, and the outer side wall of the pre-opening valve 1. Steam enters the pre-opening valve chamber through the connecting sleeve through hole. When the valve stem 5 is pulled upward, the pre-opening valve 1, the locking nut 4, and the connecting nut 7 move vertically upward together with the valve stem 5. The pre-opening valve 1 and the valve disc through hole on the lower end face of the valve disc 11... When the gap is separated, the pre-opening valve 1 opens, and steam flows out of the reheat regulating valve through the valve disc through hole. When the valve stem 5 is pulled up further, the pre-opening valve 1, the locking nut 4, and the connecting nut 7 continue to move vertically upward with the valve stem 5. When the connecting nut 7 reaches the highest point of the movable cavity, the valve stem 5 is pulled up further, and the connecting nut 7 lifts the medium-pressure regulating valve connecting sleeve 6. The valve disc 11 moves upward and separates from the valve seat 13, and the valve disc 11 opens. After the reheat main steam valve, the steam is directly discharged from the reheat regulating valve through the steam outlet at the lower end of the valve body 14. This two-stage opening method improves the adjustability of the reheat regulating valve. When the valve stem 5 is pressed down, the lower end face of the pre-opening valve 1 abuts against the inner end of the valve disc through hole. When the valve disc 11 abuts against the valve seat 13, the pre-opening valve 1 and the valve disc 11 close, and steam cannot flow, ensuring the tightness of the valve.
