Abstract

This utility model relates to a vent valve for a medium- and high-pressure gas compressor, comprising a valve body, a valve core within the valve body, and a valve cover on the valve core. The area of ​​the control end face of the valve core is larger than the area of ​​the sealing end face of the valve core, with a ratio of 10:1. A Y-ring with an upward opening and a Y-ring with a downward opening are provided between the valve core and the valve body. The valve core is in a normally open or normally closed state under the force of an elastic element. This utility model eliminates the need for a pressure reducing valve at the inlet, allowing direct connection to medium- and high-pressure media. The area of ​​the control end face of the valve core is significantly larger than the area of ​​the sealing end face, eliminating the need for a pressure reducing valve or a medium- and high-pressure medium at the control port. The opening and closing control of the medium- and high-pressure vent valve can be achieved using a lower gas source output from the compressor.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention is applicable to medium- and high-pressure oil-injected or water-injected screw compressors, and in particular, a vent valve for medium- and high-pressure gas compressors. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most vent valves used in medium- and high-pressure gas compressors are still atmospheric pressure (8-16 bar) vent valves. Pressure reducing valves are connected to the vent valve inlet and control chamber for protection. However, the addition of a pressure reducing valve at the vent valve inlet results in significant pressure loss as the medium passes through it and then back to the vent valve. Furthermore, the increased number of components and higher cost lead to numerous potential leaks, making it difficult to quickly locate the problem in case of a malfunction. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a vent valve for medium and high pressure gas compressors.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a vent valve for a medium- and high-pressure gas compressor, comprising a valve body, a valve core disposed within the valve body, a valve cover disposed on the valve core, the area of ​​the control end face of the valve core being larger than the area of ​​the sealing end face of the valve core, the ratio of the area of ​​the control end face to the area of ​​the sealing end face of the valve core being 10:1, a Y-ring with an upward opening and a Y-ring with a downward opening being disposed between the valve core and the valve body, the valve core being in a normally open state or a normally closed state under the force of an elastic element, and an inlet and an outlet being disposed on the valve body.

[0005] A further improvement of this utility model is that an elastic element is provided between the valve core and the valve cover, at which time the valve is in a normally closed state.

[0006] A further improvement of this utility model is that an elastic element is fitted on the valve core, at which time the valve is in the normally open state.

[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a control port is provided on the valve cover, a breather is provided on the valve body, and a silencer is provided on the breather.

[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that: the valve body is provided with a control port, the valve cover is provided with a breather port, and the breather port is provided with a silencer.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that multiple support rings are provided between the valve body and the valve core.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that a sealing ring is provided between the valve body and the valve cover.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that a sealing gasket is provided between the bottom of the valve body and the valve core.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model does not require a pressure reducing valve at the inlet and can be directly connected to medium and high pressure media;

[0014] 2. The area of ​​the control end face of the valve core is much larger than the area of ​​the sealing end face of the valve core. The control port does not need to be connected to a pressure reducing valve, nor does it need to be connected to medium and high pressure medium. The opening and closing control of the medium and high pressure vent valve can be achieved by using a lower air source output from the compressor. Attached Figure Description
