The function of a pressure relief valve is to protect pressure vessels, piping systems, and other equipment from pressures exceeding their design pressure by 

the pressure relief valve, therefore, is the process fluid. Once a condition occurs that causes the pressure in a system or vessel to increase to a dangerous level, the pressure relief valve

The thermal relief valve keeps pressure cleaner pumps operating in a safe range to prevent overheating (caused by recirculating water). At water temperatures above 145º F, packing seals may fail. The pump then overheats. When the system is in bypass mode, the thermal relief valverelief valve

FIGURE 1 - TWO TYPES OR RELIEF VALVES The standard design safety relief valve is spring loaded with an adjusting ring for obtaining the proper blowdown and is available with many

Relief valve Automatic pressure-relieving device actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valve. The valve opens in proportion to the increase in pressure over the opening pressure. It is primarily used for liquid service. Safety-relief valve Automatic pressure relieving device actuated by the static pressure upstream the valve.

A pressure relief valve is used to release excess pressure from a system during overpressure situations thus avoiding catastrophic failure.

Sealing efficiency increase with increased pressure up to cracking pressure. Metal-to-metal poppet stop supports spring load, prevents sticking. Open When system pressure overcomes spring force

Small, easily installed remote pressure control valves make it possible to control a balanced piston pressure relief valve from a more convenient location.

Valve opening. In an upset situation a safety valve will open at a predetermined set pressure. The spring force Fs is acting in closing direction and Fp, the 

Valve is a direct-acting, spring loaded, diaphragm type relief valve. The valve may be installed in any position and will open and close within very close pressure limits. The Model 55L is normally held closed by the force of the compression spring above the diaphragm. When the controlling pressure applied
