What Types of Pressure Relief Valves are Used in Catalytic Processes?
There are several types of pressure relief valves commonly used in catalytic processes:
Spring-loaded valves: These are the most common and use a spring mechanism to maintain pressure control. Pilot-operated relief valves: These are used for higher pressure systems and offer more precise control. Rupture disks: These are non-reclosing devices that burst at a specific pressure, providing immediate relief. Thermal relief valves: These are designed to relieve pressure caused by thermal expansion in liquid-filled systems.
