Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a steam valve, a seat-side convexly curved surface ( 35 b ) of a valve body ( 30 ) is configured such that the average radius of curvature Rv from a starting end portion ( 35 c ) on the upstream side in a flow direction of steam to a termination end portion ( 35 a ) has a relationship of Rv<Rs with respect to the radius of curvature Rs of a valve-seat-side convexly curved surface ( 26 a ); the seat-side convexly curved surface ( 35 b ) is formed with an upstream-side curved surface ( 36 ) and a downstream-side curved surface ( 37 ); the seat-side convexly curved surface ( 35 b ) has an abutting area ( 35 s ) abutting a valve seat portion ( 26 ); and the radius of curvature R 1 of the downstream-side curved surface ( 37 ) has a relationship of Rs<R 1 with respect to the radius of curvature Rs in the flow direction of the steam.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A steam valve comprising: a casing with a steam flow path formed therein; a valve body disposed in the steam flow path and provided so as to be capable of moving relative to the steam flow path; a valve seat portion which is formed in the steam flow path and provided with a valve-seat-side convexly curved surface having a cross-sectional area gradually increasing toward a downstream side in a flow direction of steam in the steam flow path; and a seat portion which is formed in the val…
