The Consolidated 1811 series safety valves are designed with inlet
pressure ratings from ASME 300 class thru ASME 600 class. The
design is approved for use by the US. Coast Guard for power
boilers and other marine applications.
To ensure total safety of personnel and installation, make sure that the valves have passed all safety tests and meet the requirements of the system where they are to be installed. All our valves are supplied with certificates of materials, cas-
tings and test report according to EN-10204 3.1. and are designed according to ISO 4126-1
The main difference between these two types of valves lies in the opening speed when encountering a pressure increase in the circuit.
The Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) opens instantaneously and fully upon reaching the set pressure for which it is designed, expelling the excess pressure from the system immediately. They are optimised for use with steam or gases.
In contrast, the normally or progressively opening Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) opens gradually as the system pressure rises above the set pressure of the valve above its setting. They are optimised to work with liquids.
At VYC Industrial we are specialists in the design and manufacture of all types of safety valves. We have a wide range of safety valves to cover all the needs of the sector.
During the expansion process for compressible substances such as gases, steam or air, one of the main problems is noise pollution.
The noise is caused by opening the valve and discharging the expanded fluid at the speed of sound.
Silencers are a great way to reduce this noise, caused by discharging the valve, bringing it down to allowable levels.
They are used in places such as power, chemical and petrochemical plants to discharge safety valves, control valves, etc. in pressure lines and equipment that convey compressible substances such as steam, air, carbon dioxide, helium, methane, nitrogen, oxygen and other gases.
They achieve noise reductions of more than 50 dB without any additional acoustic absorption materials.
Test bench for regular inspections and setting and resetting safety valves. Ideal for distributors, maintenance companies or with in-house maintenance. It allows safety valves to be adjusted, tested and/or checked to the test pressure (setting) Pe wile cold (simulating service conditions), matching the opening pressure Ps and the closing pressure Pc, in accordance with the standard regulations.
Expansion valves are devices used to control the refrigerant flow in a refrigeration system. They remove pressure from the liquid refrigerant to allow expansion or change of state from a liquid to a vapor in the evaporator. Expansion valves serve two purposes: controlling the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator and maintaining the pressure difference between the condenser (high-pressure side) and the evaporator (low-pressure side). In this article, Linquip will investigate the different types of expansion valves. Read on and find out more about them.
These types of expansion valves are popular due to their simplicity and availability, and their relatively good sensitivity and accuracy in regulation. The large choice of expansion valve sizes and bulb charges means the capacity and temperature ranges are very good. The disadvantage of TEVs is the necessity for relatively high superheating, which steals the heat transfer area from the evaporation process.
These types of expansion valves have the disadvantage of being unresponsive to changes in load or seawater temperature and must be adjusted frequently. The valve itself is a screw-down needle valve dimensioned to give fine adjustment.
These types of expansion valves consist of a needle with a seat and a pressure bellows or diaphragm with a torsion spring capable of adjustment. Operated by evaporator pressure their chief disadvantage is their relatively poor efficiency compared with other types.
The electronic expansion valve (EEV) operates with a much more sophisticated design. These types of expansion valves control the flow of refrigerant entering a direct expansion evaporator. They do this in response to signals sent to them by an electronic controller. A small motor is used to open and close the valve port that is called a step or a stepper motor. Step motors do not rotate continuously; they are controlled by an electronic controller and rotate a fraction of a revolution for each signal sent to them by the electronic controller. The step motor is driven by a gear train, which positions a pin in a port in which refrigerant flows.

While some basic components and activations in relieving pressure may differ between the specific types of relief valves, each aims to be 100% effective in keeping your equipment running safely. Our current range includes numerous valve types, from flanged to spring-loaded, threaded to wireless, pilot operated, and much more.
Air pressure relief valves can be applied to a variety of environments and equipment. Pressure relief valves are a safety valve used to keep equipment and the operators safe too. They're instrumental in applications where proper pressure levels are vital for correct and safe operation. Such as oil and gas, power generation like central heating systems, and multi-phase applications in refining and chemical processing.
A PRV and PSV are interchangeable, but there is a difference between the two valves. A pressure release valve gradually opens when experiencing pressure, whereas a pressure safety valve opens suddenly when the pressure hits a certain level of over pressurization. Safety valves can be used manually and are typically used for a permanent shutdown. Air pressure relief valves are used for operational requirements, and they gently release the pressure before it hits the maximum high-pressure point and circulates it back into the system.
