SAFETY WARNINGS THIS SECTION IS AN OVERVIEW OF SAFETY GUIDELINES THAT SHOULD BE FOLLOWED DURING THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES.TO UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS, IT IS NECESSARY TO COMPLETELY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL.
INTRODUCTION Pressure relief valves are used on liquid storage tanks and other process vessels or systems to prevent structural damage due to excess internal pressure. Storage tanks are pressurized when liquid is pumped in, compressing the existing vapor or when rising temperatures cause increased evaporation or expansion of existing vapor.Conversely, a vacuum condition may be created when pumping out or due to falling temperature.
INSTALLATION A typical valve installation on a tank or vessel is illustrated in Figure 1, using a Model 12F-TW0 Pressure Relief Valve-Pipe away. Groth's weight loaded Pressure Relief Valves are designed to provide tank protection for pressure up to 24 OSIG settings. The valves provide full rated flow capacity at 100% over-pressure. Consult factory for performance under other conditions.
DESIGN AND FUNCTION Tank protection equipment typically includes an operating valve which is designed to provide pressure/vacuum relief under normal pump in/out and thermal breathing conditions. An emergency relief valve can also provide both pressure and vacuum relief and normally it is sized to provide pressure relief if there is a fire in the immediate vicinity of the tank.
MAINTENANCE Groth Corporation recommends that all service performed on a pressure relief valve is done at a Groth Authorized Repair Dealer. Contact Groth Corporation for your local authorized repair dealer. Trained mechanics with specialized test equipment will ensure that the valve is accurately set. It is important to regularly inspect the diaphragm, guides and seating surfaces to ensure the valve can open freely.
