What locations are not suitable for safety valves?
A safety valve is a device used to protect equipment or piping from sudden overload and overheating for a short period of time, and will automatically open when the pressure exceeds the set value, discharging the excess gas or liquid. However, if the safety valve is not applicable and the equipment or piping is under high pressure, this can cause great damage to the equipment and piping, and may even trigger an explosion of the equipment or piping.
Overview
What locations are not suitable for safety valves?
1. The system pressure is likely to rise rapidly, such as chemical explosions and other occasions.
2. The relief medium contains particles, easy to precipitate, easy to crystallize, easy to polymerize and the medium viscosity is big.
3. The relief medium is strongly corrosive, and the price of using safety valves is too high.
4. The working pressure is very low or very high occasions, and the safety valve is difficult to meet the requirements.
5. Large discharge area is required.
6. The system temperature is low and affects the performance of safety valve operation.
