Definitions
- This invention concerns a valve for a system having a heat- carrying medium which flows through a number of heat exchangers in the system, said valve having a thermostat valve with a housing comprising an inlet and an outlet, a spindle with a seal which can be displaced by a thermostat bellows and which, depending on the expansion/contraction of the thermostat bellows and against the force of a spring which surrounds the spindle, can respectively close and open an opening with a seating in a transverse wall in the housing between the inlet and the outlet.
- a central heating plant with a similar valve is known from U.S. Patent No. 5,178,324, said plant being configured in such a manner that it is possible to control the flow in the entire plant, a single part of the plant or in several zone-divided sections of the plant.
- This plant comprises several heat exchangers each provided with its own valve, said heat exchangers being intended to be placed in a number of at least one in each room in a building, and where the valves are disposed in the piping of the plant.
- the heat-carrying liquid remains in the heat exchangers for a period of time which is long enough to allow a reasonable amount of heat to be dissipated in the rooms of the building which are to be heated by the heat exchangers, which can be ensured by means of a differential pressure valve placed in the indi- vidual branches of the plant, in that this valve c regulate the flow of the heat-carrying fluid.
- the flow of heat-carrying liqui through the heat exchangers or each of the heat exchanger can be controlled by means of thermostatic valves which depending on the temperature in the room, can open more o less to allow flow through the heat exchanger(s) so tha the emission of heat to the rooms can be held within thos limits which are determined by the accuracy of the thermo static valves, and by the temperature which the user of th room desires to maintain by the adjustment of the thermo static valve or valves.
- each of thes thermostatic valves When ordinary thermostatic valves are mounted in a lengt of piping which leads the heat-carrying medium from a hea exchanger to the subsequent heat exchangers, each of thes thermostatic valves will be dependent on the others. Thu if ten thermostatic valves are mounted in a length o piping, and nine of these are closed, the differentia pressure across the open valve will be increased. Thi results in an increase in the flow through the associate heat exchanger, and the increased flow can also give ris to disturbing noise.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to improve a valve of the kind described so that the above-mentioned drawbacks of a heating plant can be avoided.
- valve according to the invention being characteristic in that the valve is further provided with a membrane which is controlled by a differential pressure for the regulation of the differential pressure of the heat- carrying medium across an adjustable pre-setting, and the thermostatic valve consisting of the seating and the seal between the inlet and the membrane, and that the thermo ⁇ static valve is arranged to be able to cut off the flow between the inlet and the outlet independently of the adjustable pre-setting.
- the membrane in the valve according to the invention thus maintains a constant differential pressure across the adjustable pre-setting and across the seating and the seal together.
- valve according to the invention can be adjusted to allow only a predetermined maximum amount of the heat-carrying medium to flow through the valve independently of the remaining heat exchangers and pressure conditions in the system. If the differential pressure is increased, for example because one or more o the remaining valves on a length of piping are closed, thi will not result in an increase in the flow through th individual heat exchanger.
- fig. 1 schematically shows a commonly known, double pipe heating plant
- fig. 2 shows a section through an embodiment of the valve according to the invention.
- a double-pipe heating plant one pip of which is the main pipe 1 which leads the heat-carryin medium, such as water, from a source of heat, which is no shown, in the heating plant, and the second pipe is return pipe 2 ⁇ hich leads the medium back to the boiler.
- the heat-carryin medium such as water
- a branch point 3 there extends a first side pipe which leads the medium forward to a number of heat ex changers 5, each of which is connected to the first sid pipe 4 at connection points 6 and to the second side pipe 7 which leads the medium back to the return pipe 2.
- Each heat exchanger 5 is provided with a valve 8 according to the invention, which is arranged to control the flow of the heat-carrying medium through the respective heat exchangers 5.
- FIG. 2 An embodiment of a valve 8 according to the invention is shown in fig. 2, and consists of a housing 9, which con ⁇ tains a combination of a differential pressure valve 10, an adjustable pre-setting 11 and a thermostat valve 12, all said three parts 10, 11 and 12 being in themselves of known constructions.
- the housing 9 has a longitudinal bore 13 with an internal wall 14, and transversly hereto an inlet 15 and an outlet 16 for the medium.
- the differential pressure valve 10 comprises a membrane mechanism with a membrane 17 or bellows of flexible material which is disposed in a first bush 18 which is placed in the bore 13 which lies coaxially in the axis 19 of the housing 9.
- the membrane 17 can be described as being a short tube, one end of which at a radial distance is turned back over the other end, after which the radial outer part is firmly secured to an internal wall 20 in the first bush 18.
- the radial innermost part of the membrane 17 is secured to a disk or cup 21.
- the first bush 18 has an annular recess 23 opposite th slots 23. Between a first transverse wall 24 and the cup 21 there is inserted a helical spring 25. A first channel 2 leads from the inlet 15 to a chamber 27 under the membran 17.
- the medium can also flow through a opening 28 with a seating 28a which is configured in second transverse wall 29 in the first bush 18, and flow further through at least one longitudinal, second channel 30 which extends to a chamber 31 in which the slots 22 are placed.
- the adjustable pre-setting 11 can be set for a certain through-flow opening by turning around the axis 19, and can thereafter be locked firmly in its setting.
- it can be configured in the following manner:
- a threaded bush 33 in which a locking element 34 is secured in a substantially indisplaceable manner in the direction of the axis 19 of the housing 9, but is able to be turned around said axis.
- the locking element 34 is secured against the pressure of a spring 35 which is compressed between a flange at the free end of the locking element 34 and a sur- face on a bush-shaped setting element 36 at the free end of the threaded bush 33.
- the threaded bush 33 and the setting element 36 have cooperating teeth 37 which extend for a short distance radially.
- the end of the locking element 34 which faces towards the inside of the housing 9 has axially-projecting pegs 39 which engage in tracks 40 in a cup-shaped bush 41, so that the bush 41 can be turned in the bore 13 by means of the locking element 34 when this is turned by means of the setting element 36.
- the edge on the mouth of the cup-shaped bush 41 is cut off in such a manner that the remaining half 41a of the edge extends beyond the inlet 15 in the housing 9, and closes this when the locking element 34 is turned to a position in which said half part 41a on the cup-shaped bush 41 is opposite the inlet 15.
- the pre-setting 11 can be set b first drawing the setting element 36 axially out of th threaded bush 36, and thereafter by turning the settin element 36 to a desired angle around the axis 19 of th housing 9, whereby the cup-shaped bush 41 is also turned a a consequence of the engagement between the pegs 39 and th tracks 40, so that the area of the through-flow opening a the inlet 15 is regulated to the desired size.
- the thermostatic valve 12 is of a commonly known con struction.
- the cup-shaped bush 41 and the locking elemen 34 are disposed around a spindle 42 which is surrounded b a helical spring 42, which with its one end abuts agains the locking element 34 in the housing 9 and with its othe end against the bottom of the cup-shaped bush 41.
- the spindle 42 is connected to thermostat bellows (not shown in the drawing) which, depending on the temperature of the surroundings, can dis place the spindle 42 in its longitudinal direction agains the pressure from the spring 43.
- the spindle 42 also has the above-mentioned seal 32, which by contact against the seating 28a can close th opening 28 in the transverse wall 29 of the first bush 18, regardless of the setting of the differential pressur valve 10 and the adjustable pre-setting 11.
