Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to valves, and in particular to a two-stage slow-closing check valve for molten salt. Background Art

[0002] A check valve is a valve whose opening and closing parts are circular discs and which blocks the backflow of the medium by its own weight and medium pressure. It is an automatic valve and is also called a non-return valve, one-way valve, reflux valve or isolation valve. When the temperature of the molten salt medium is lower than 280°C, crystallization will occur. However, due to the difference in structure, the valve body of an ordinary check valve is prone to accumulation at the bottom of the valve body, resulting in unclean discharge of the molten salt medium and residue. The cooling and crystallization of the molten salt leads to blockage, which damages the valve and affects its use.

[0003] To this end, the company developed and designed a two-stage slow-closing check valve for molten salt. Utility Model Content
