Good Supplier, is glad to introduce you to the Pneumatic Pressure Relief Valve.
What is a Pressure Relief Valve?
A pressure relief valve is a type of safety-related component
used in the pipeline or with vessels in pneumatics.
Relief valves are used to limit the amount of compressed air pressure in a system
so that it doesn’t build up above a pre-set level and cause damage to machinery or people.
These types of valves are therefore used to stop over-pressurization,
where air pressure exceeds the maximum allowed for that system.
An overpressure occasion means any condition which can cause pressure in a system or vessel
to increase outside the maximum allowable working pressure or specified design pressure.
The main purpose of a Pressure Relief Valve is the safety of property
and life by emitting fluid from an over-pressurized system.
Many pneumatic, hydraulic and electronic systems control fluid system variables,
such as temperature, pressure, and flow.
This system needs compressed air or electricity to operate
but a Pressure Relief Valve should be capable of operating at all times,
particularly during a power failure when system controls are nonfunctional.
The source of power for the Pressure Relief Valve is the process fluid.
Pressure Relief Valves are essential components in keeping
hydraulic and pneumatic systems below set pressure.
Depending on the installation, they can either:
Reduce the downstream pressure to a constant level whenever it exceeds a threshold
Maintain sustained pressures down or upstream from the valve
Reduce the peaks or pressure pulses to protect equipment installed downstream
How do Pressure Relief Valves work?
Relief valves are designed to protect compressed air systems
from over-pressurization by releasing excess pressure.
Pressure acts against the valve seat
and the force generated opens the valve against spring tension.
Turning the control knob can increase or decrease the tension in the spring,
therefore adjusting the pressure required to open the valve.
Should pressure rise above a pre-determined setting,
pressure will be relieved through a spring-loaded mechanism which opens
due to the increased pressure upstream of the valve, compared to the set point.
Once the air has been exhausted out of the system,
and the pressure has fallen to its pre-set level,
the Pressure Relief Valve will close.
To stop a tank or vessel from becoming over pressurized,
Pressure Relief Valves can be used to exhaust air into the atmosphere quickly
and are an important component in terms of both safety
and reliable running of an air compression system.
What are the typical applications of Pressure Relief Valves?
Pressure relief valves are commonly seen in any application which uses compressed air,
such as pneumatics systems in industrial automation.
They’re also an important component in high pressure applications
such as oil and gas and defense and nuclear,
where industrial and process gases are stored and transported at high pressure
and need to be regulated down to a safe working pressure before use.
Pressure relief valves should always be used where there is a risk
to any individual or process from over-pressurization.
It is good practice to automatically include them in any system design.
Why do Pressure Relief Valves matter?
Pressure relief valves keep everyone safe.
If the pressure within an air compressor system
or air receiver tank gets too high, one or more components could explode.
Pressure relief valves are used to prevent this from occurring.
The rated pressure of the pressure relief valve must not exceed
the maximum allowable working pressure marked on the air pressure vessel.
This requirement ensures the pressure relief valve will always open
before the vessel reaches its maximum pressure tolerance.
Our range includes pressure relief valves in different mounting styles
and for a variety of application areas:
industrial as well as mobile,
for the use in hydraulic and pneumatic systems,
for fluid and gas handling,
process control,
and refrigeration.
Our valves can function under high operating pressures
and wide-ranging temperatures which make them suitable for use
within various applications across the major industrial markets,
including those that operate in extreme environments.
