- a removable closure member 52 is in threaded engagement with the outer end of bushing 45 and may be removed to permit adjustment of the screw member 56 to calibrate the spring 46 to a desired value.
- the construction described hereinbefore has the advantage that a long path is provided from the valve chamber 24 to the by-pass outlet chamber 26 along the wear surfaces between the movable piston 34 and the stationary sleeve 22. Hence, before any leakage can occur, there must be wear along substantially the entire length of the piston member. In contrast to this, the leakage path offered in most presently available by-pass valve arrangements, as previously explained, is much shorter, being sometimes of the order of magnitude of one-sixteenth inch.
- the practical experience which I have had with the by-pass valve arrangement hereinbefore described shows that my valve arrangement has a life expectancy at least three times that of by-pass valves having a short leakage path.
- a further advantage of the by-pass valve hereinbefore described is the fact that the axially-extending by-pass aperture 38 in the operating end 36 of the piston member can be made much larger than by-pass orifices of the type generally used in by-pass valves, with the result that there is less danger of clogging of the bypass outlet by foreign-matter and grit than in the case of the by-pass orifices generally used.
- valve arrangement hereinbefore described also has the advantage that when the oil pressure in the inlet duct 25 and valve chamber 24 decreases, as happens at the time of shut-down of the oil burner, the piston 34 is moved-rapidly to-the right, with respect to the view shown in the drawings, to cut off further flow of oil to the oil burner nozzle.
- Disk 42 which serves as a cut-off valve, is rapidly seated'onthe valve seat 18 and shuts off further flow of oil through the orifice 20 and duct 16 to the nozzle ofthe oil burner. This fast shut-01f prevents after fire and reduces smoking and carbon in the furnace.
- the by-pass valve arrangement hereinbefore described a.so may be very easily serviced and frequently the movable piston member-and by-pass valve of my invention may be substituted into existing pressure deficient pumps. Unlike many available bypass valve arrangements, servicingof the by-pass valve of my invention may be completed at the location of the oil burner, Without the necessity for making shop repairs which sometimes necessitate prolonged shut-down-of the burner.

BY M4 M ATTORNEYS June 12, 1956 Filed July 29, 1953 C. B. HEARD OIL BURNER BY-PASS VALVE 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENTOR CHARLES B HEARD.
ATTORNEYS United States Patent 01L BURNER BY-PASS VALVE Charles B. Heard, Baltimore, Md., assignor of one-half to Woodrow H. Kratz, Baltimore, Md.
Application July 29, 1953, Serial No. 370,913 14 Claims. (Cl. 137-116) My invention relates to valves and more particularly to a by-pass valve. My valve has particular utility in connection with oil burner installations, but is not necessarily restricted to such use.
It is frequently the practice, in connection with oil burner installations, to provide a by-pass valve means between the oil burner pumping unit and the oil burner. This permits by-passing of the oil either back to the source of supply or back to the pump in the event that the discharge pressure from the pump exceeds a predetermined value due to an obstruction in the discharge pipe or nozzle, or for any other reason.
One of the operating problems which is frequently encountered with by-pass valves presently available is the fact that oil leakage occurs through the by-pass valves under normal opearting pressure conditions, when bypassing of the oil is not necessary, causing a loss of pressure at the oil burner nozzle. The resulting loss of pressure adversely affects the operation of the oil burner, frequently resulting in a smoky fire due to improper atomization of the oil. This leakage, which is characteristic of many presently available by-pass arrangements, is largely due to the principle of operation of such bypass valves in which ports in a movable piston are brought into registry with stationary by-pass ports upon the occurrence of a predetermined pressure. Frequently, only a very short axial distance, as little as A inch, separates the ports of the piston from the stationary by-pass ports. Consequently, if either the outer surface of the movable piston or the stationary wall surface which it engages become worn in the relatively short distance between the movable and stationary ports, leakage occurs through the by-pass valve. As a result, it is frequently necessary to replace the movable piston members or sleeves of such by-pass valves after a relatively short period of time. It has also been my experience that it is diflicult to make field repairs on leaky valves of this type, thereby necessitating undesirable shut-down of the oil burner while repairs are made in the shop.
It is also frequently the practice to incorporate in the same valve structure a cut-off valve means for controlling the normal flow of liquid to the oil burner nozzle, as well as a by-pass valve means for controlling the by-pass of high pressure oil. A difficulty which is frequently encountered in such valve structures is that, upon drop in pressure, the cut-oif action is not sufiiciently rapid, with the result that after fire of the burner occurs, causing a smoky fire.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a bypass valve which is relatively leak-proof under normal operating conditions.
It is another object of this invention to provide a bypass valve arrangement which has a substantially greater life expectancy than by-pass valves presently available.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a valve structure having both a by-pass valve action and a cut-oif valve action and in which the cut-off action is rapid upon oil pressure drop, so as to minimize after fire at the oil burner.
In accordance with these objectives, I provide a hollow cup-like piston member slidably movable along the interior of a fixed cylindrical sleeve member, the piston member having an operating end which is acted upon by the oil under pressure. The operating end of the piston member is provided with an aperture in which a spring biased valve member is normally seated, the valve being normally movable with the piston. The outer end of the valve member carries a detent means which is movable into engagement with a stationary abutment, which may be the end of the sleeve, after a predetermined axial movement of the piston has occurred under the influence of the oil pressure. Engagement of the detent means with the abutment prevents further movement of the valve with the piston, with the result that the valve becomes unseated and permits passage of by-pass oil through the aperture in the operating face of the piston. The by-pass oil passes into the hollow interior of the piston, which is in communication with a by-pass conduit means.
The features of this invention which I believe to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. My invention itself, however, both as to its organization and use, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. l is a view in longitudinal section through a bypass valve in accordance with my invention, showing the valve in a position corresponding to a shutdown condition of the oil burner;
Fig. 2 is a view partially in longitudinal section similar to Fig. 1, showing the position of the valve upon the occurrence of an excessive pressure condition;
Fig. 3 is a view in section along line 3-3 of Fig. l; and
Fig. 4 is a view in section along line 4-4 of Fig. 2.
Referring now to the drawings, the by-pass valve is housed in a casing It) having a bore 12 extending therethrough. A bushing or cap 14 is screw threaded into one end of the bore 12, the bushing 14 being provided with an axial passage 16 which communicates with the nozzle of the oil burner. A valve seat member 18, having an axial orifice 20, is positioned in the inner end of passage 16.
A stationary sleeve member 22 is pressed into the intermediate portion of the bore 12. Sleeve 22 is spaced axially from the inner end of cap or bushing member 14 so as to form, between the adjacent ends of the sleeve 22 and the bushing 14, a valve chamber 24. An inlet duct 25 provides communication between the pumping means and the valve chamber 24. The sleeve member 22 is spaced radially from the surface of the bore for a substantial portion of its length to provide a annular chamber 26 between the outer surface of sleeve 22 and the inner surface of the bore 12. A by-pass outlet duct 27 is connected to the annular chamber 26 and serves to carry the by-passed oil either back to the oil supply or to the inlet end of the pump, depending on where it is desired to conduct the by-passed oil.
inafter. casing 10 and the valve chamber 24 and may serve to communicate the pressure of the valve chamber to asuitable pressure gauge. The duct may be plugged bya screw threaded member 35.
A hollow piston member 34 is axially movable along the hollow interior of sleeve 22. The piston member 34 is provided at its end adjacent the valve chamber 24 with an operating end 36. In accordance with my invention, the operating end 36 is provided with a beveled opening 38 to provide a by-pass port which communicates between the exterior surface of operating end 36 and the hollow interior of the piston member. A valve 40 is adapted to seat in the beveled aperture 38, which serves as a valve seat, the stem 43 of the valve extending into the hollow interior of the piston. The innermost end of the valve stem carries a flange-like head member 41.
As an important feature of my invention, I provide a detent member 37 which is carried on the outer end of the by-pass valve member 40 adjacent the outer surface of the operating end 36 of the piston 34. As will best be seen in Fig. 4, detent member 37 may be in the form of a collar member having a pair of diametrically opposed ears which project radially beyond the outer periphery of the piston member. Detent member 37 acts to unseat by-pass valve 46 upon a predetermined axial movement of piston 34 under the influence of high oil pressure.
Movement of piston 34 serves to control flow of oil to the burner nozzle through orifice as well as to control bypassing of oil under excessive pressure. To provide this cut-off function at orifice 20, the outer end of the valve member carries axially outwardly of the detent member 37 a disk member 42 which is adapted to seat on the valve seat 18 to serve as a cut-off valve for the oil supply to the burner nozzle. Disk member 42 may be made of a synthetic rubber, such as neoprene, for example.
A spring member 44 surrounds the valve stem 43, being seated at one end on the inner face of base member 41, and at the other end on the inner face of the operating end 36 of piston 34. Spring 44 serves to normally bias the valve 40 so that it is seated in the valve seat 33.
A cap or bushing member 45 is in threaded engagement with the opposite end of bore 12, this being the lefthand end with respect to the view shown in the drawings.
A spiral sprin 46 engages the inner surface of operating end 36 of the piston 34, the opposite end of spring 46 being seated on a cup-shaped bearing member 48 carried by an adjusting screw 50 which passes through the bushing member 45. Spring 46 biases piston member 34, together with valve 4) and disk 42, to the right so that in the absence of oil pressure against the operating end 36, the piston will assume the position shown in Fig. 1 in which orifice 25 is closed by disk 42. A removable closure member 52 is in threaded engagement with the outer end of bushing 45 and may be removed to permit adjustment of the screw member 56 to calibrate the spring 46 to a desired value.
The relative lengths of the piston 34, sleeve 22, bushing 45, and bore 12 are so adjusted that oil by-passed into the interior of piston 34- through by-pass port 38 will always find a free flow path around the end of the piston to the axial slots 32 in sleeve 22.
When the oil burner is not in operation, and there is no pump pressure through duct 25 to valve chamber 24, the spring 46 pushes the piston member 34, including thelay-pass valve 49 and the disk member 42, axially to the right, with respect to the view shown in the drawings, so that disk member 42 is seated on the valve seat 18 and closes the orifice 20. In this position, the oil supply to the oil burner nozzle is cut off.
When the oil burner is energized and the oil supplythroug'n duct 25 to valve chamber 24 reaches a predetermined desired operating value, the oil pressure on the face of the operating end 36 of the piston causes the piston to move axially to the left, with respect to the view shown in the, drawings, thereby unseating the disk 42 from the valve seat 18 and permitting a normal flow of oil through orifice 2t and duct 16 .to the oil burner nozzle. Under the normal operating conditions at the, desired oil pressure, thenby-pass valve 40 remains seated .in-the-by-pass aperture 38 due to the biasing action of spring 44. However, if the oil pressure in valve chamber 24 exceeds a predetermined desired value, the piston 34 is moved axially to the left, as shown in Fig. 2, a distance sufiicient to cause the detent member 37 to abut against the end edge f stationary sleeve member 22. When this occurs, further motion of by-pass valve 40 to the left is prevented and any further motion of piston member 34 in that direction occurs without a corresponding motion of valve member 40. Valve 40 therefore becomes unseated with respect to the by-pass aperture or valve seat 38, permitting a flow of the high-pressure liquid through the bypass aperture 38 to the interior of the hollow piston 34. The liquid which flows into the hollow interior of piston 34 then fiows longitudinally of the piston interior to the end thereof, around the end of the sleeve 22, and through the slots 32 of annular shoulder 39 into the annular chamber 26 from whence it passes to the by-pass duct 27.
The construction described hereinbefore has the advantage that a long path is provided from the valve chamber 24 to the by-pass outlet chamber 26 along the wear surfaces between the movable piston 34 and the stationary sleeve 22. Hence, before any leakage can occur, there must be wear along substantially the entire length of the piston member. In contrast to this, the leakage path offered in most presently available by-pass valve arrangements, as previously explained, is much shorter, being sometimes of the order of magnitude of one-sixteenth inch. The practical experience which I have had with the by-pass valve arrangement hereinbefore described shows that my valve arrangement has a life expectancy at least three times that of by-pass valves having a short leakage path.
A further advantage of the by-pass valve hereinbefore described is the fact that the axially-extending by-pass aperture 38 in the operating end 36 of the piston member can be made much larger than by-pass orifices of the type generally used in by-pass valves, with the result that there is less danger of clogging of the bypass outlet by foreign-matter and grit than in the case of the by-pass orifices generally used.
The valve arrangement hereinbefore described also has the advantage that when the oil pressure in the inlet duct 25 and valve chamber 24 decreases, as happens at the time of shut-down of the oil burner, the piston 34 is moved-rapidly to-the right, with respect to the view shown in the drawings, to cut off further flow of oil to the oil burner nozzle. Disk 42, which serves as a cut-off valve, is rapidly seated'onthe valve seat 18 and shuts off further flow of oil through the orifice 20 and duct 16 to the nozzle ofthe oil burner. This fast shut-01f prevents after fire and reduces smoking and carbon in the furnace.
The by-pass valve arrangement hereinbefore described a.so may be very easily serviced and frequently the movable piston member-and by-pass valve of my invention may be substituted into existing pressure deficient pumps. Unlike many available bypass valve arrangements, servicingof the by-pass valve of my invention may be completed at the location of the oil burner, Without the necessity for making shop repairs which sometimes necessitate prolonged shut-down-of the burner.
While there has been shown and described a particular embodiment of my invention, it will be obvious to those skilledin the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the invention and, therefore, it is aimed in the appended claims to cover all such' changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
