| Pilot Operated Safety Valve
|
Valves are any of various devices that regulate the flow of gases, liquids, or loose materials through piping or through apertures by opening, closing, or obstructing ports or passageways. Valves are used in a variety of applications including industrial, military, commercial, residential, transportation. Safety valves have a special importance in the field of fluid mechanics as it automatically opens when pressure reaches a certain level. They are attached to a boiler or a vessel.Porv (pilot operated relief valves) are used for emergency relief during overpressure events (e.G. A tank gets too hot and the expanding fluid increases the pressure to dangerous levels). The distinction between porv and conventional prv is that pilot valves cleverly use system pressure to seal the valve. A prv typically uses a spring to hold the disc or piston on seat. The essential parts of a porv are a pilot valve (or control pilot), a main valve, a pilot tube, the dome, a disc or piston, and a seat. The volume above the piston is called the dome. Porv are also called posv (pilot operated safety valve). Technically poprv is the most generic term, but porv is often used generically (as in this article) even though it should refer to valves in liquid service. The pressure is supplied from the upstream side (the system being protected) to the dome often by a small pilot tube. The downstream side is the pipe or open air where the porv directs its exhaust. The upstream pressure tries to push the piston open but it is opposed by that same pressure because the pressure is routed around to the dome above the piston. The area of the piston exposed to pressure is larger in the dome than it is on the upstream side; the result is a net sealing force. F = pa (force = pressure * area). The pressure from the pilot tube to the dome is routed through the actual pilot valve. There are many designs but the control pilot is essentially a conventional prv with the special job of controlling pressure to the main valve dome. When the pilot valve reaches set pressure it opens and releases the pressure from the dome. The piston is then free to open and the main valve exhausts the system fluid. The control pilot opens either to the main valve exhaust pipe or to atmosphere. Snap acting: at set pressure the valve snaps to full lift, it can be quite violent on large pipes with significant pressure. The pressure has to drop below the set pressure in order for the piston to reseat. Modulating: the pilot is designed to open gradually, so that less of the system fluid is lost during each relief event. The piston lifts in proportion to the overpressure.
