Concerning the related valve of the embodiment of the invention, it is applicable to various fluids, as various liquid, gas, and the fluid that contains solid particle.In working order down, corresponding respectively at least one the first fluid port in pairing two zones of each second seal element is to import to the fluid in the external means of correspondence in these two zones.Thereby in the time of in fluid is directed to these zones, the fluid pressure differential of each second seal element both sides will be less than the hydrodynamic pressure of at least one side of this second seal element.The fluid that is directed in these two zones can be with a kind of fluid or fluid not of the same race, can have identical pressure or different pressure.
The pressure of described fluid can be normal pressure or high pressure.The related valve of the embodiment of the invention is especially applicable to the fluid of high pressure.For example, the hydrodynamic pressure in the valve body is greater than 25bar, perhaps greater than 30bar, or greater than 35bar, or greater than 40bar, or greater than 45bar, or greater than 50bar, or greater than 55bar, or greater than 60bar, or greater than 65bar, or greater than 70bar, or greater than 80bar, or greater than 90bar.
The related valve of the embodiment of the invention is when being applicable to the fluid of high pressure, and the pressure difference in pairing two zones of second seal element preferably remains in the small range.For example, this pressure difference is preferably in the 15bar, perhaps in 12bar, perhaps in 10bar, perhaps in 8bar, perhaps in 6bar, perhaps in 5bar, perhaps in 4bar, perhaps in 3bar, perhaps in 3bar, perhaps in 1bar, perhaps in 0.5bar, perhaps in 0.2bar, perhaps in 0.1bar.Under some situation, compare this pressure difference or even negligible with the hydrodynamic pressure of the second seal element either side.
In one embodiment, when one or more hydrodynamic pressures greater than the fluid of 20bar when one or more external meanss are directed in the valve, the fluid pressure differential of these second seal element both sides is less than 5bar.
In another embodiment, when one or more hydrodynamic pressures greater than the fluid of 40bar when one or more external meanss are directed in the valve, the fluid pressure differential of these second seal element both sides is less than 10bar.
The related valve of the embodiment of the invention can be used in arbitrary temperature environment between room temperature to 220 ℃.Certainly, in actual use, the temperature and pressure that valve was suitable for also can surpass above scope, but may have adverse influence to the performance and/or the life-span of valve.
Concerning the related valve of the embodiment of the invention, spool can be made by material identical or inequality with valve body.Consider that based on factors such as the temperature and pressure of the characteristic of fluid, fluid, manufacture costs spool and valve body can be made by metallic material such as cast iron, stainless steel, alloys; Seal element can be made by the materials such as KALREZ of teflon (PFFE), fluorine rubber (FKM), FFKM (FFKM), buna nitrile (Buna Nitrile), E.I.Du Pont Company, perhaps, the surface of seal element is made by the materials such as KALREZ of teflon (PFFE), fluorine rubber (FKM), FFKM (FFKM), buna nitrile (BunaNitrile), E.I.Du Pont Company, is filled with metal element such as flexible steel wire in it.
Preamble is realized its function to the motion that the description of the related valve of the embodiment of the invention is primarily aimed at by the relative valve body of spool.In fact, the related valve of the embodiment of the invention also can move simultaneously by the relative valve core movement of valve body or valve body and spool and realize its function, and it only is technical simple replacement, therefore no longer describes in detail.
Compared with prior art, the valve arrangement that the embodiment of the invention provides is simple relatively, does not need complicated seal element can realize the better seal performance.In working order down, fluid is directed to respectively in the zone on the second seal element both sides, and the pressure that second seal element is born is pressure poor of the two regional inner fluids that the sealing element is partitioned into.Therefore, be the pressure that may command second seal element bears by the pressure difference of controlling this two regional inner fluid, therefore the pressure that second seal element bears avoid the influence of the absolute pressure of two regional inner fluids.Simultaneously, because of second seal element has defined a gating district that seals, alignment request is reduced between fluid port is as long as fluid port enters gating district fluid and can circulate between different port.Therefore, these valves are suitable for using under high-pressure working condition, and have reliable sealing performance, can avoid each interregional, and avoid the connection dislocation between gating port and fluid inlet because of poorly sealed gating fluid that causes and not scurrying mutually or leaking between the gating fluid.
In addition, these zones have covered the whole outer surfaces of spool in cavity, and then make in fluid is enclosed in the spool in the cavity, the fluid thrust that spool is subjected on side face can be cancelled each other, and the fluid thrust that is subjected on the end face because of face area limited and spool axial dimension limited to the spool influence greatly.Therefore, avoided spool to be promoted effectively by high-pressure liquid and make valve core outer surface break away from valve interior surface may, and then avoided interregional fluid to go here and there mutually, closely cooperating of valve body and valve core chamber is achieved.
Related description in the above-mentioned embodiment that exemplifies, for example and data only as demonstrating and the usefulness of illustration, and non-limiting scope of the present invention.Any insubstantial modifications processing of being done according to the present invention all falls in the claim scope of the present invention.Therefore, the spirit and scope of annex claims are not limited to the explanation version of the application to this invention.
