TLDR
In this article, a valve for use in an inflation system with a spring regulated piston which regulates the flow rate through the valve into the inflatable member, such that if flow rate gets too high, the regulating piston will divert some or all of the flow out a neutral thrust over pressure relief vent.Abstract:
A valve for use in an inflation system wherein the valve has a spring regulated piston which regulates the flow rate through the valve into the inflatable member, such that if the flow rate gets too high, the regulating piston will divert some or all of the flow out a neutral thrust over pressure relief vent, which vents outside the inflatable member. The valve also has a secondary form of overpressure relief in the form of a neutral thrust diffuser which also dumps outside of the inflatable member. Fluid is prevented from flowing out of the neutral thrust diffuser by a burst disk, but if the fluid pressure is high enough, the burst disk will burst, and the fluid will flow out of the neutral thrust diffuser.read more
