Abstract (en)

[origin: US2007079873A1] A system disconnector for physically disconnecting an upstream liquid system from a downstream liquid system by means of a release valve ( 34 ) in response to a pressure drop between the upstream and downstream liquid system, with an upstream backflow preventer ( 40 ), a downstream backflow preventer ( 64 ) and a release valve body ( 18 ) in the form of a piston which is, regarding the flow, arranged between the backflow preventers ( 40, 64 ), an inlet pressure of the upstream liquid system upstream from the upstream backflow preventer ( 40 ), a middle pressure in a middle pressure space ( 66 ) between the release valve body ( 18 ) and the downstream backflow preventer ( 64 ) and an outlet pressure of the downstream liquid system downstream of the downstream backflow preventer ( 64 ), wherein a pressure difference between the inlet pressure and the middle pressure counteracts a spring ( 60 ) biasing the release valve body in the opening direction and wherein the release valve body ( 18 ) has an effective pressurized surface (d) which is smaller than the surface effective for the inlet pressure whereby a hollow space ( 74 ) is defined by the release valve body and the hollow space is connected to the middle pressure space ( 66 ) wherein a shiftable seat ( 76 ) adapted to be moved in the moving direction of the release valve body is provided in the hollow space ( 74 ), movable with respect to the release valve body up to a casing fixed stop ( 84 ) which is arranged in the flow direction upstream of the valve seat ( 32 ) of the release valve ( 34 ).
