ABSTRACT:
A system disconnector for disconnecting an upstream liquid system providing an inlet pressure from a downstream liquid system by a release valve (34) in response to a pressure drop between the systems, includes an upstream backflow preventer (40), a downstream backflow preventer (64) and a release valve body piston (18) arranged between the backflow preventers (40, 64). A pressure difference between the inlet pressure and a middle pressure between the backflow preventers (40,64) counteracts a spring (60) biasing the release valve body in the opening direction, the release valve body (18) having an effective pressurized surface (d) smaller than the surface effective for the inlet pressure. A hollow space (74) defined by the release valve body is connected to the middle pressure (66). A shiftable seat (76) provided in hollow space (74), is movable with respect to the release valve body to a fixed stop (84) upstream of the valve seat (32).
