VALVE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F16K31/24 E03D1/30 

FIELD: water power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: valve comprises housing with inlet and outlet branch pipes and cylindrical seat, closure member that cooperates with the seat, and sleeve mounted in the tank filled with fluid. The bottom of the sleeve is provided with the opening that receives the floating valve for communication of the inner space of the sleeve with the tank when fluid is discharged from the tank. The float is mounted for permitting vertical movement inside the sleeve. The inlet branch pipe of the housing is connected with the inlet connecting pipe of the tank through a flexible pipe. The cylindrical seat is made in the housing for defining a ring space around it. The space is in communication with the inlet branch pipe. The closure member is made of a flexible flat diaphragm whose diameter is equal to the diameter of the greater step of the ring collar. The flexible diaphragm is tightly pressed to the step of greater diameter of the housing by means lid and nut.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability.
