Check valve with adjustable opening pressure

A pressure relief check valve (110) includes a valve body (202), a flapper (204), a magnet (206) coupled to the flapper (204), and an adjustment mechanism (207). The valve body (202) has an upstream side 208, a downstream side (210), and a flow channel (212) that extends therebetween. The flapper (2...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A pressure relief check valve (110) includes a valve body (202), a flapper (204), a magnet (206) coupled to the flapper (204), and an adjustment mechanism (207). The valve body (202) has an upstream side 208, a downstream side (210), and a flow channel (212) that extends therebetween. The flapper (204) is rotationally mounted on the valve body (202), and is movable between a closed position, in which the flapper (204) at least substantially seals the flow channel (212), and an open position, in which the flapper (204) unseals the flow channel (212). The adjustment mechanism (207) comprises a magnetically permeable material, and is movably coupled to the valve body (202) at a position in which the adjustment mechanism (207) is magnetically attracted to the magnet (206) with a magnetic closing force at least when the flapper (204) is in the closed position, to thereby at least substantially inhibit flapper (204) movement from the closed position. Movement of the adjustment mechanism (207) varies the magnetic closing force.
