SEMPELL MODEL PSRV - PRESSURIZER SAFETY RELIEF VALVES
TYPE VS99 PILOT OPERATED
Because the plunger below disc 1 is directly
dependent on pressure, as pressure decreases
it lowers and pushes disc 1 back to its seat in
disc 2. Due to the available Δp, at first disc 2
remains closed, although the coupling attempts
to separate disc 2 from its seat.
Only with rising pressure is the force great
enough to separate disc 2 from its seat by
the coupling. The pressure in the chamber
above disc 2 increases and therefore also the
pressure in chamber B above disc 3. Disc 3
closes again with the support of the pressure
spring, thus closing pilot line C to the main
valve. Thepressure in pilot line C increases
again and the main valve closes.
