Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system separator according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a system separator is a safety valve that is installed in the drinking water pipe and is intended to prevent backflow from the non-drinking water side.
- the system separator consists in a known manner of two series-connected backflow preventer and a differential pressure-controlled drain valve, which vents an intermediate chamber between the two backflow preventer.
- the task of the drain valve is to ventilate the intermediate chamber when the pressure drops below a certain differential pressure between the inlet side and the intermediate chamber, in order to prevent backflow from the outlet side to the inlet side.
- a system separator 10 which in a known manner has two check valves 16 and 18 connected in series between an inlet 12 and an outlet 14.
- the space 20 (intermediate chamber) between the two non-return valves 16 and 18 can be vented through a drain valve 22, the drain valve 22 being controlled by the differential pressure between the inlet 12 and the intermediate chamber 20, by a diaphragm 26 prestressed by a spring 24
- Inlet 12 compares with the pressure in the intermediate chamber 20 to, when falling below a predetermined pressure of z. B. 0.5 bar to vent the intermediate chamber 20 by opening the drain valve 22.
- the pressures of the medium, generally water, at the inlet 12, in the intermediate chamber 20 and at the outlet 14 can be connected to pressure gauges 28, 30 and 32 at pressure gauges 34, 36 and 38.
- a differential pressure stabilizer 40 is arranged in the intermediate chamber 20.
- differential pressure stabilizer 40 can also be integrated into the housing of the system separator 10.
- the differential pressure stabilizer 40 consists of a cylindrical housing 42 which is provided on one side with an inlet 44 and on the other side with an outlet 46.
- a membrane 52 is clamped between the two halves 48, 50 of the housing 42 as a pressurized displaceable member.
- This pressurized displaceable member can also be predetermined by a bellows or a piston.
- the membrane 52 is stretched between the two halves of a spring plate 54 and a spring 56 is supported between the spring plate 54 and the housing 42.
- the spring plate 54 On the side facing away from the spring 56, the spring plate 54 has a circumferential sealing edge 58, which is provided for cooperation with an elastic sealing ring 60 inserted into the housing 42.
- the inlet 44 of the differential pressure stabilizer 40 can be connected to the inlet 12 of the system separator 10 and the outlet 46 of the differential pressure stabilizer 40 is connected to the intermediate chamber 20 of the system separator 10.
- the preloaded spring 56 determines the level of the differential pressure at which the diaphragm 52 moves.
- the preload of the spring 56 is to be selected so that this differential pressure lies above the required response pressure of the drain valve 22 and below the opening pressure for the first check valve 16.
- the drain valve 22 remains closed until the pressure difference between inlet 12 and intermediate chamber 20 becomes smaller than the response pressure of the drain valve 22. This case always occurs when pressure fluctuations in the supply network lead to pressure drops on the inlet side 12 of the system separator 10 lead. Since the intermediate chamber 20 is limited by two tightly closing non-return valves 16, 18, the pressure in the intermediate chamber 20 remains unaffected by pressure fluctuations on the inlet side 12 until the predetermined limit of z. B. 0.5 bar is reached and the drain valve 22 opens, so that there is again a differential pressure above the predetermined limit.
- the pressure in the intermediate chamber 20 of the system separator 10 follows the pressure fluctuations on the Input side 12.
- the differential pressure remains essentially constant.
- the installation of the differential pressure stabilizer 40 makes the inlet pressure a reference variable for the intermediate chamber pressure.
- the function of the differential pressure stabilizer 40 is effective with appropriate dimensioning of the membrane down to the negative pressure range on the inlet side.
- FIG. 3 schematically shows a modified embodiment of the system separator 10 according to the invention, in which a pressure limiter 62 is arranged in addition to the differential pressure stabilizer 40.
- This pressure limiter consists of a membrane 64 pressurized on one side, which is acted upon by the static pressure in the intermediate chamber 20 and is pressed against a prestressed spring 66 into a final position when a predetermined static pressure in the intermediate chamber 20 is exceeded, the chamber having the spring 66 over a vent, not shown, is connected to the atmosphere.
- the diaphragm 64 moves through the pre-tensioned spring 66 and builds up the pressure in the intermediate chamber, which then leads to ventilation of the intermediate chamber.
- the response range can be limited to a minimum pressure on the input side, which is in the overpressure range.
- Fig. 4 shows a diagram which shows the pressure curve over time.
- p1 the pressure on the input side 12 is designated and p2 denotes the pressure in the intermediate chamber 20. It can be seen that a constant differential pressure p between the input side 12 and the intermediate chamber 20 is predetermined by the arrangement of the differential pressure stabilizer 40. If the static pressure in the intermediate chamber 20 threatens to drop below a predetermined minimum pressure P min , the pressure limiter 62 takes effect and maintains this minimum pressure.
