  2. Relief valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief_valve

    A relief valve DN25 on cooling water pipe from heat exchanger Schematic diagram of a conventional spring-loaded pressure relief valve. A relief valve or pressure relief valve (PRV) is a type of safety valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system; excessive pressure might otherwise build up and create a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, explosion, or fire.

  3. Pilot-operated relief valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot-operated_relief_valve

    Pilot-operated relief valve. Like other pressure relief valves (PRV), pilot-operated relief valves (PORV) 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). PORV are also called pilot-operated safety valve (POSV), pilot-operated pressure relief ...

  4. Cabin pressurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabin_pressurization

    This valve controls the cabin pressure and also acts as a safety relief valve, in addition to other safety relief valves. If the automatic pressure controllers fail, the pilot can manually control the cabin pressure valve, according to the backup emergency procedure checklist.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotive_components

    Horizontal tubular vessel, strong enough to contain high-pressure steam in a harsh working environment; closed at either end by the firebox and tube plate. Usually well filled with water but with space for steam – produced by heat from the firebox and boiler tubes – to be above the water surface. [1][2][5][3]: 9.

  6. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    A back-pressure regulator, back-pressure valve, pressure sustaining valve or pressure sustaining regulator is a control valve that maintains the set pressure at its inlet side by opening to allow flow when the inlet pressure exceeds the set value. It differs from an over-pressure relief valve in that the over-pressure valve is only intended to ...

  7. Safety valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_valve

    A safety valve is a valve that acts as a fail-safe. An example of safety valve is a pressure relief valve (PRV), which automatically releases a substance from a boiler, pressure vessel, or other system, when the pressure or temperature exceeds preset limits. Pilot-operated relief valves are a specialized type of pressure safety valve.

  8. Gas flare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_flare

    Schematic flow diagram of an overall vertical, elevated flare stack system in an industrial plant. When industrial plant equipment items are overpressured, the pressure relief valve is an essential safety device that automatically releases gases and sometimes liquids. Those pressure relief valves are required by industrial design codes and ...

  9. Adjustable pressure-limiting valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjustable_pressure...

    An adjustable pressure-limiting valve (commonly abbreviated to APL valve, and also referred to as an expiratory valve, relief valve or spill valve) is a type of flow control valve used in anaesthesiology as part of a breathing system. It allows excess fresh gas flow and exhaled gases to leave the system while preventing ambient air from entering.
