Abstract

A drain valve includes a valve body, a valve core, a gas-generating substance, and a check member. The valve body has a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet. The valve core movably fits with the valve body to close the liquid outlet. The gas-generating substance is at least partially disposed within the valve body, and the gas-generating substance is configured to react with liquid water to generate a gas so as to push the valve core to open the liquid outlet. The check member is configured to allow the liquid water to enter the valve body from the liquid inlet and restrict gas from flowing out of the valve body through the liquid inlet. The gas-generating substance reacts with the liquid water to produce the gas, and the check member restricts the gas from flowing out of the valve body through the liquid inlet.
