4. Operation
Blowout operation
As inlet pressure of the product rises and approaches opening pressure, the force of fluid pushing up the
valve [5] approaches the force of the spring [12] pressing down the valve [5], and then the product
commences to blow. The fluid starts to leak by the simmering and accumulates gradually on the pressure
groove. When the fluid pressure reaches the specified opening pressure the valve [5] pops.
Closing operation
Since the inlet pressure of the safety relief valve decreases when the fluid is released into the
atmosphere by the pop action of the valve [5], the force of fluid lift is lowered. At this point, the repelling
force of the spring [12] becomes larger than the force of fluid lift and thus the valve closes. In addition,
since the safety relief valve blows, the pressure of fluid entering into the back of the valve [5] (back
pressure) adds to the closing force.
