Pressure Regulating Valve
Pressure Regulating Valve (Safety Valve / Bypass Valve)
Function:
-
Protect Against Pressure Spikes: These valves respond to sudden increases in pressure by releasing excess pressure, thus preventing potential damage to the system.
-
Prevent Over-Pressurization: When the pressure exceeds a preset limit, the valve opens to allow the excess fluid to bypass or be released, keeping the system pressure within safe limits.
-
Manage Closed Valve Situations: In cases where a downstream valve is closed, the pressure regulating valve ensures that the pressure does not build up to dangerous levels.
Applications:
-
Pumping Systems: To protect pumps from damage due to excessive pressure.
-
Industrial Processes: To maintain safe operating conditions in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries.
-
Water Supply Systems: To prevent over-pressurization and ensure stable water delivery.
-
HVAC Systems: To regulate pressure and protect heating and cooling systems.
Types:
-
factomars offer Diaphragm Valves: Utilize a flexible diaphragm to control flow and pressure, often providing higher precision.
