Frequently Asked Questions

After the relief valve opens it will not shut off until line pressure is reduced. Is it faulty?

Frequently Asked Questions - Fisher Regulators
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.)

How does a pressure relief valve work?

Elektror - Wir machen Luft aktiv: FAQ
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.

Where is the shut off valve?

Pinellas County Utilities frequently asked questions
There is a shut off valve on the meter unit, which will turn off all water, preventing it from passing through the meter. However, Pinellas County Utilities prohibits the opening and closing of valves, removing or tampering of the meter unit. Most residential properties have a main valve (house valve) on the outside of the house (some are located in the garage). This valve will prevent water from entering the house.

Can a bad or missing pressure relief valve cause over-chlorination?

Frequently asked question pool spa
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.

Is a customer required to install a shut-off valve?

Shut Off Valve FAQ's
GWA previously interpreted its rules in a manner that the customer must install a customer shutoff valve. This interpretation was based on several factors including recognition that the practice is good for GWA as well as the customer and that it is a standard practice for utilities. GWA has re-examined its interpretation of this rule and concluded that it may have been erroneous and it is our intention to pursue a rule change that will eliminate any uncertainty in the interpretation.

How do I model a relief valve in a system?

AFT Applied Flow Technology : Products : Fathom
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.

What is a Pressure Control Valve?

Pneumadyne - Help
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.

Do I need a pressure safety valve?

Why does GWA recommend the installation of a customer shut-off valve?

Shut Off Valve FAQ's
Requiring a customer shut off valve is a standard practice for water utilities. The valve provides the customer with a readily accessible means to control the flow of water into the home.

Some customers use the shut off valve to shut off water when they leave home for extended periods of time to prevent any unforeseen damage from leakage while they are away.

Why and how should I bypass the EGR valve/line?

_2
The EGR re-routes some of the exhaust gases back into the intake/combustion chamber. This is basically done to reduce emissions. Blocking it off will reduce the temperature of the intake since the gases fed back through the EGR are very hot. Lower intake temperature produces more power, but the amount of gases that are passed through the EGR is VERY minimal and probably won't result in much (if any) performance gain. The drawback is increased emissions.
