High differential pressure control valve

A high differential pressure control valve including a casing having an inlet passage and an outlet passage, a cage provided between the inlet passage and the outlet passage in the casing and having a plurality of stages of ports, a valve stem inserted into the cage and movable relative to the casing and the cage, the valve stem carrying a plurality of disc portions corresponding to respective ports in the cage for opening and closing the latter, wherein the fluid flow control areas of the respective ports are increased and decreased according to opening and closing of the disc portions relative to the respective ports to sequentially reduce fluid pressure at the inlet passage side to discharge, wherein the high differential pressure control valve comprises:

• a plurality of stages of high resistance ports forming a high resistance passage and one or more low resistance ports forming a low resistance passage being provided in the cage;
• a high resistance passage shut-off seat provided in the cage at a position downstream of an inlet side port of the high resistance passage being opened and closed by corresponding one of the disc portions;
• a low resistance passage shut-off seat provided in the cage at a position downstream of an inlet side port of the low resistance passage being opened and closed by corresponding one of the disc portions;
• respective of the disc portions movable in relation to the ports of the cage so that a fluid at the side of the inlet passage is introduced into the high resistance passage under a low open degree range and into the low resistance passage and the high resistance passage under a medium and a high open degree range;
• and
• respective of the disc portions having an upper end face and a lower end face wherein pressure of the fluid introduced into the cage from the inlet passage acts on the upper end face of on disk portion and an opposing lower end face of another disc portion.
