ABSTRACT:
The riser line shutoff valve where oxygen flows into the valve from the inlet and through an orifice in the piston. This orifice creates differential pressure between the upstream and downstream side of the piston. When the differential pressure across the piston exceeds the spring load and friction between the piston and the valve body, the piston moves to the left and seats on the brass probe in the conical area of the piston, preventing the flow of oxygen. The valve will not open until the upstream pressure is removed. The base of the brass probe has holes, allowing oxygen to flow out of the outlet port when the valve is open. The probe is threaded into the probe base allowing for valve adjustment for proper operation. The spring simultaneously serves the functions of retaining the probe base and providing a piston load to keep the piston open until the critical flow rate is reached.
