Abstract
A valve has a valve body that defines a chamber. The chamber has an inlet and an outlet through which a flow path passes. A seat is positioned within the chamber and surrounds the flow path. A closing member is positioned within the chamber and a biasing member biases the closing member into an open position away from the seat. The biasing member exerts a biasing force on the closing member which exceeds the force exerted on the closing member by a first fluid which enters the inlet and flows past the closing member and through the open valve. The biasing force is less than the force exerted by a second fluid having one or more different characteristics from the first fluid. Force exerted by the second fluid on the closing member overcomes the biasing force and moves the closing member into engagement with the seat, closing the valve.
