Pressure regulator valve

A pressure regulator valve comprising:

• a housing including
• a base including a valve passage through which a working gas flows,
• a tubular body attached to the base, and
• a cover attached to the base so as to cover the body;
• a valve element configured to open and close the valve passage by moving between a closed position where the valve element closes the valve passage and an open position where the valve element opens the valve passage, the valve element being further configured to reduce a primary pressure to a secondary pressure and receive the secondary pressure by which the valve element moves toward the closed position;
• a biasing unit accommodated in an accommodating space formed between the body and the cover, the biasing unit being configured to bias the valve element such that the valve element moves toward the open position;
• a first sealing member provided between the base and the body to seal the valve passage;
• and
• a second sealing member provided between the base and the cover, wherein:
• the second sealing member is made of a porous material which allows a gas to flow therethrough and prevents a liquid from flowing therethrough;
• and
• the second sealing member is arranged so as to contact the body.

• a first sealing member provided at a gap between the base and the body;
• and
• a second sealing member provided at a gap between the base and the cover and made of synthetic rubber, wherein:
• the second sealing member is arranged so as to contact the body;
• and
• the body includes a pressure release hole connecting the accommodating space and a gap between the base and the body, the gap being a portion located at an opposite side of the valve passage across the first sealing member.
