Publication number: 20110297868Abstract: It is intended to provide a steam valve, which can reduce vibrations of each part of the steam valve, can suppress pressure loss and can cut off the steam rapidly. The steam valve 1 changes an area of a flow path between the valve seat 4 and the valve body 2 and adjusts a flow of steam passing through the flow path by moving the valve body 2 relative to the valve seat 4. The valve body 2 satisfies a relationship of r>0.6D0, where r is a curvature radius of the valve head portion 2A and D0 is a seat diameter of the valve seat 4. A tapered portion 2B is provided on an upstream side of the valve head portion 2A and its surface is tilted toward a direction of relative movement of the valve body 2 to the valve seat 4 more than that of the valve head portion 2A.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2011Publication date: December 8, 2011Inventor: Toshinari NISHIMURA
