The pressure relief valve is a spring-supported valve that opens when the limit pressure is reached, thereby discharging excess air via the bypass. The pressure relief valve protects the side channel blower from overload.

When using relief valves, be sure to remember that the reseat point is lower than the start-to-bubble point. To avoid seepage, keep the relief valve set point far enough above the regulator set point. Cutting the supply pressure to a pilot-operated regulator reduces the regulator gain or sensitivity and, thus, may improve regulator stability. (This can only be used with two-path control.)

The Vortex® Valve is an automatic pressure relief valve that regulates air with changing altitude and temperature, while keeping water out. Storm Case pressure equalization vents (Vortex® valves) are the result of a unique molded housing and a special "Gortex" gas-permeable micro-porous membrane that can repel liquids and micro-particles while allowing gas (air) molecules to pass right through the membrane.

Emu oil is both anti-inflammatory and pain relieving. It's ingredients tell the whole story: Capsicum Oleo Resin is an active ingredient which desensitizes nerve ending, dilates blood vessels, increases blood flow and relieves muscle pain. It's also high in Vitamin A which promotes healthy skin. Arnica is a healing herb that stimulates blood circulation and relieves muscular pain. Camphor is a skin conditioner, soothing agent and muscle relaxant that balances, stimulates and cools. See similar questions...

A pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) takes a high pump pressure and regulates it to a usable building pressure regardless of the pumps flow between no flow and full rated flow. There are many brands of PRVs, each with its own quirks. See similar questions...

The pressure relief valve burps any built up chlorine gas into the lines when the pump is off. A missing pressure relief valve in the bottom of the cycler increases the water level in the unit. This can lead to over-chlorination. See similar questions...

A Pressure Relief Group meeting is a tool provided to members facing legal, employment, marital, or personal problems. A major focus is financial in nature, although members need not have financial issues to benefit from a Pressure Relief Group. The group meeting usually consists of the requesting member and a few other members experienced in Pressure Relief, and remains CONFIDENTIAL in every detail amongst those attending members.

This dual function product contains two valves in one body with a common input and common exhaust. When the toggle is centered in the 2-Way configuration all ports are blocked, in the 3-Way configuration both output ports are open to exhaust. See similar questions...

It is a butterfly valve like the one in the throttle body (see picture). The default is closed. When vacuum is high (idle-cruising) an actuator opens the bypass valve so that intake air bypasses the compressor. When accelerating, vacuum decreases and the bypass valve instantly closes. Intake air now goes through the compressor, building boost. More power means more fuel means larger injectors. However, in order to pass CARB, the base kit had to use the stock injectors.

By design a back pressure valve will prevent siphoning. It is not recommended to use a back pressure valve in such a fashion because they are not ?fail safe?. If siphoning is a concern a siphon breaker should be installed in your system. Have another question you'd like to see featured on our Frequently Asked Questions page? Simply contact us today!

You can model a relief valve using either a Relief Valve junction or a regular Valve junction. The Relief Valve junction is always closed when you run the model (unless you set it's Special Condition), and AFT Fathom will run the Solver to determine if sufficient pressure exists to crack it. If so, it will run the Solver again with the relief valve open. If you know the condition you are modeling will crack the relief valve, it is more efficient to just use a regular valve junction.

New in relevant terms with the conventional water heater, but our associate manufacturer has been manufacturing these products for the past eighteen years. However, the system for the the innovative SRC2 range of models was awarded U.S patent # 5408578 in 1995. See similar questions...

The helium release valve works by letting helium out of your watch, and nothing else in. This only comes in handy when you are in a helium-saturated environment such as a dive bell. You can open it on land, but make sure you screw it back down before you submerge it in water. Leaving it open while the watch is under water can let water into the watch. Note: This system is consistant with the Seamaster Professional Chronograph - Chronometer as well... See similar questions...

In the event of the CAI filter being completely submerged in water (eg: deep puddle) this gives the CAI a seperate "bypass" area to draw air into the engine, without taking in water to the engine - resulting in hydrolock (your engine is pooched due to ingesting water). Cheap insurance for CAI. See similar questions...

The Pneumadyne Pressure Control Valve is ideal for applications requiring reduced pressure to a cylinder. It is designed for use between a valve output and a cylinder or other volume, where a reduced pressure is desired. A high volume check valve is built in to allow for rapid reverse flow. It is also ideal for continuous flow applications where reverse flow is not required. Output pressure is selected by adjusting the control knob when pressure is off. See similar questions...

Whenever a silo is being filled by a pneumatic offloading system (pressure blower), high pressure is forcing material into the silo. The pressure safety valve, or "pop-off valve" will allow the pressure to escape preventing any additional damage. Top See similar questions...
