In the present disclosure, the first cavity and the second cavity of the proportional valve body penetrate through the body in the axial direction, thus the general structure of the proportional valve body can be obtained by means of extrusion molding. Extrusion molding has the advantages of easy operation, high productivity, and high utilization ratio of raw materials. And the proportional valve body obtained by means of extrusion molding has favorable structural and mechanical properties.

Manufacturing method for proportional valve body

A multi-cavity gas-air mixing device includes at least two mixing cavities each having an air inlet and a mixture outlet communicated with a combustor, wherein each of the mixing cavities has a built-in gas pipeline, each of the gas pipelines is provided with a gas jet, and the orientation of the gas jet is intersected with a flow direction of air entering into the mixing cavities. The device effectively segments the gas-air mixer and achieves a large load regulation ratio, without producing condensate water at any load segment, thereby improving the system reliability and service life. The built-in gas pipeline not only actively controls the fuel in the open-close control pipeline, but also reduces the volume of the mixer and largely decreases the cost.
