Patent attributes
A high pressure diaphragm gas valve comprises a removable seat assembly (32), including a mounting ring (34) and a synthetic seat ring (36), which is fitted in a central seat hole of a mounting ring (34). A nozzle (60) penetrates in a sealed way into a central through hole (38) of the synthetic seat ring (36). A first gas port (28) is arranged in a front face (62) of the nozzle (60). A second gas port is formed by a gas collecting ring channel (30) incorporated into the valve body (12), wherein it surrounds a nozzle shoulder surface (64) of the nozzle (60) and is itself surrounded by an outer shoulder surface (102) of the valve body (12). The mounting ring (34) is supported with an inner ring flange (82) on the nozzle shoulder surface (64) and with an outer ring flange (84) on the outer shoulder surface (102), so that peripheral gas passages (86) open into the ring channel (30).
