Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0709527A1] The device has an intermediate chamber formed between two successive non-return valves, and has an unloader valve controlled by the pressure difference between it and the inlet side, so as to open the chamber to atmosphere before the difference falls to nil. The seats (20, 25) for the unloader valve and the non-return valve at the inlet side are concentric on the valve plug (17) and one inside the other in the radial direction. They can be formed by 45-deg. faces, while guide ribs (21) and stops (22) are situated between them. The plug can be connected to a spring seal (35), the unloader-valve plug (24) being loaded by this seal and a tension spring (28). The ribs can guide both plugs.
