Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a valve design wherein a smaller and a larger valve are placed in a common housing and arranged for independent operation, the smaller valve serving for regulating the flow of operating fluid therethrough and the larger valve affording full flow or no flow of operating medium therethrough. The invention also relates to the use of the valve arrangement in a steam or vapor generating plant for facilitating starting thereof.
