Hey guys.
I’m designing a new type of renewable energy heating system. I have no plumbing technical knowledge whatsoever so I don’t even know the terms to begin searching for the names of components I need on google- I just know what I need them to do, and that doesn’t bring up search results.
I was wondering if you may be able to help me please?
I need a valve that can go in between a boiler and a tank that has a weighted plunger in it.
So when the boiler reaches a certain pressure, steam vents from the boiler into the tank, pushing the plunger up. When the pressure is equal between the boiler and the tank, the valve needs to shut off. The steam will then condense, reducing in volume and the weighted plunger will push down under gravity, at which point the valve needs to reverse, allowing condensed water from the tank back into to the boiler and preventing the water from returning to the tank until sufficient pressure is reached in the boiler again.
I know such valves exist as I have seen them, but I don’t know what they are called.
Can anyone help please? I’d be really grateful.
Thanks guys!
