Abstract
A differential pressure responsive switch utilizes an operating diaphragm which has a position controlled by a pressure being monitored with the diaphragm acting through a transmission member upon an electrical switch and includes a first chamber divided by a control diaphragm and having an inlet for the pressure to be monitored to one side of the control diaphragm while the other side of the control diaphragm carries a closure member for an adjacent bleed valve seat. An inlet for the bleed valve is connected via a throttle to a source of a pressurized gas and to a second chamber defined by the operating diaphragm and a spring is engaged through the transmission member to urge the operating diaphragm against the pressure in the second chamber.
Claims9
A differential pressure responsive switch with an operating diaphragm having a position controlled by a pressure which is to be monitored and acting via a transmission member upon an electrical switch comprising
- a first chamber divided by a control diaphragm,
- an inlet means applying the pressure which is to be monitored to one side of said control diaphragm,
- a bleed valve having a closure member carried by the other side of said control diaphragm and a valve seat,
- a throttle means connecting the side of said valve seat which is opposite to said control diaphragm to a source of operating pressure,
- pipe means connecting said side of said valve seat to a second chamber which is closed by the operating diaphragm and
- a spring means engaging the transmission member and acting against the pressure acting on the operating diaphragm in said second chamber.
A system of a differential pressure responsive switch with an operating diaphragm having a position controlled by a pressure which is to be monitored and acting via a transmission member upon an electrical switch in a gas heated boiler with combustion air being supplied under pressure to a combustion chamber comprising
- a first chamber divided by a control diaphragm,
- an inlet means applying the pressure which is to be monitored to one side of said control diaphragm,
- a bleed valve having a closure member carried by the other side of said control diaphragm and a valve seat,
- a throttle means connecting the side of said valve seat which is opposite to said control diaphragm to a source of operating pressure,
- pipe means connecting said side of said valve seat to a second chamber which is closed by the operating diaphragm,
- a spring means engaging the transmission member and acting against the pressure acting on the diaphragm in the second chamber,
- a third chamber divided by a second control diaphragm and located adjacent to said first chamber,
- a compression spring provided between said two control diaphragms,
- a first flow connection to said third chamber as an inlet for a second pressure to be monitored with said connection being provided at that side of said second diaphragm which is opposite to said first diaphragm,
- a second flow connection from said inlet means for said first chamber to the exhaust side of the combustion chamber,
- a third flow connection from said first flow connection to said third chamber to a combustion air supply,
- a fourth flow connection from the bleed off side of said bleed valve to the combustion chamber and
- a fifth flow connection from said throttle means to an operating pressure supply pipe.
