ABSTRACT:
In order to provide a multiple port relief valve which is pressure responsive in a highly effective manner so as to control communication between an inlet and a given outlet as a function of the prevailing fluid pressure, where the relief valve functions such that there is no flow at certain pressures, flow to a first outlet as a result of rapid pressure increase, and flow to a second outlet as a result of a gradual pressure increase, the relief valve includes a valve body defining a chamber having a fluid inlet and having a first fluid outlet and a second fluid outlet in fluid communication therewith. The relief valve also includes a first piston-like valve member disposed in the chamber for movement between a first position preventing fluid communication between the fluid inlet and the first fluid outlet and a second position accommodating fluid communication between the fluid inlet and the first fluid outlet. The relief valve further includes a second piston-like valve member disposed in the chamber for movement between a first position preventing fluid communication between the fluid inlet and the second fluid outlet and a second position accommodating fluid communication between the fluid inlet and the second fluid outlet. Additionally, biasing means in the valve body applies a biasing force tending to maintain at least the first piston-like valve member in the first position thereof.
