Each valve type has a unique construction to ensure proper operation in its specific application.
Air pressure valve types.
Thermal expansion valve used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
Following are the main pressure relief valve types commonly used in the industry.
Operates automatically at a set pressure to correct a potentially dangerous situation typically over pressure.
Safety valve or relief valve.
This valve releases the pressure or vacuum at a pre defined set pressure.
Superimposed back pressure is the static backpressure that exists on the outlet of the pressure relief valve when the valve is closed.
A pressure relief valve or pressure safety valve are used to protect equipment or piping system during an overpressure event or in the event of vacuum.
Before getting into the pressure relief valve types some terms need to be described.
Rubber snap in high pressure snap in and high pressure metal clamp in it s the vehicle required tire inflation pressures driving conditions and wheel design that dictate which type of valve is appropriate for the application.
Pneumatic valves are one of an array of components responsible for controlling the pressure rate and amount of air as it moves through a pneumatic system pneumatic systems which depend on the force of compressed air to transmit power can be found in countless industrial applications from pneumatically operated power tools to diesel engines.
There are many types of valves which can be used for air applications.
These are more specific types of valves used only in particular fields or applications.
Reclosing type pressure relief.
