Alfa Laval, with operations in North and South America, recently introduced a new spring-loaded safety valve. This new valve is designed to protect both equipment and people. In a potentially dangerous situation it will open at a predetermined set pressure. The compressed spring force, keeping the valve closed, is forced open when pressure builds up at the inlet of the safety valve. As these forces balance out, the valve will discharge and decrease pressure, ultimately reclosing as the system returns to normal.
Key safety features:
– Dedicated and reliable protection against costly and devastating accidents
– Calibrated to the desired pressure set point, sealed and delivered with a PED certificate
– Hygienic design eliminates unsanitary leaks and overflow during and after pressure peaks
