Apparatus for Releasing a Flow Cross Section of a Gas Line
An apparatus is described for the controlled release of a flow cross section of a gas line which is connected to a combustion chamber of a gas engine. The apparatus has a check valve and a flexible device. The flexible device is provided for absorbing a force occurring as a result of a thermal expansion of the check valve.
1 . An apparatus for a controlled release of a flow cross section of a gas line connected to a combustion chamber of a gas engine, comprising:
a check valve; and
a flexible device for absorbing a force occurring as a result of a thermal expansion of the check valve.
2 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible device includes a disk spring device.
3 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible device is arranged on a side remote from the combustion chamber with respect to the check valve.
4 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a valve sleeve including a bore, wherein the check valve and the flexible device are arranged in the bore.
5 . The apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a locking screw arranged in the valve sleeve and by which the check valve is detachably fastened in the valve sleeve; wherein the flexible device is arranged between the locking screw and the check valve.
6 . The apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a pressure screw for detachably securing the valve sleeve adjacent to the combustion chamber.
7 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a spacer sleeve arranged between the flexible device and the check valve.
8 . The apparatus according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a diaphragm arranged between the flexible device and the spacer sleeve.
9 . A gas engine system, comprising:
a gas engine including at least one prechamber; and
an apparatus according to claim 1 and arranged in a gas line connected to the prechamber.
