Abstract
A valve system includes: a valve device with a flow path and a valve body that opens and closes the flow path; and a drive mechanism that drives the valve body. The drive mechanism includes: a cylinder case; a cylinder chamber that extends in an axis direction and is formed inside the cylinder case; a piston that divides the cylinder chamber into a first chamber on a first side in the axis direction and a second chamber on a second side in the axis direction; an inflow port through which working fluid flows to the inside of the first chamber; an elastic member disposed inside the second chamber and that pushes the piston to the first side; a bypass passage that connects the first chamber and the second chamber; and an on-off valve that opens and closes the bypass passage.
