  • Patent number: 11953116
    Abstract: A valve body has an inflow passage for a working fluid, an outflow passage for the working fluid, and a pressure relief passage, which connects the inflow passage and the outflow passage by bypassing a normally close valve seat. A pressure relief valve is located in the pressure relief passage. The pressure relief valve closes the pressure relief passage, if a pressure of the working fluid in the outflow passage is lower than, is equal to, and is higher by a pressure difference less than a predetermined relief pressure than a pressure of the working fluid in the inflow passage. The pressure relief valve opens the pressure relief passage, if the pressure of the working fluid in the outflow passage is higher by a pressure difference equal to or higher than the relief pressure than a pressure of the working fluid in the inflow passage.
