Sometimes unpleasant circumstances arise when the heating system malfunctions and the pressure begins to fluctuate. If the pressure is not regulated, the consequences can be dangerous. To prevent this from happening, heating system and feeding system hot water should be equipped with safety valves. What they are and how they work – we will tell you in this material.

Safety valve in the heating system performs protective function in order to prevent high pressure. This is especially important for steam boilers.

Blood pressure rises most often due to the following reasons:

  • refusal automatic systems pressure adjustment;
  • a sharp increase in ambient temperature and the appearance of steam.

Safety products are mainly of two types:

  • spring;
  • lever-load.

In lever-load structures, the action of pressure on the spool is counteracted by a load, its force is transmitted through the lever to the rod. It moves along the length of the lever, and in this way you can adjust the force of pressure of the spool against the seat. Then it opens when the working medium begins to press on the lower part of the spool with a force greater than the force of the lever pressure and the water leaves through the pipe.

And the spring safety units work using an electromagnetic drive. A spring exerts pressure on the spool rod, and adjustment occurs by changing the degree of compression of the spring.

Small heating systems are best combined with spring products; their advantages in this case are as follows:

  • compactness;
  • the setting can only be changed when using the tools;
  • the spool rod may have different positions;
  • Possibility of combination with other products.

According to the principle of operation, safety valves are divided into the following:

Safety valve direct action can open only under pressure from the working medium, indirectly - under the influence of a pressure source.

And according to the type of lifting the constipation, the devices are:

  • low-lift;
  • medium-lift;
  • full lift.

Manufacturing materials

Safety products can be made from the following materials:

  • brass;
  • steel;
  • galvanized steel;
  • stainless steel

Features of the mechanism and design

Safety brass coupling valve for the boiler is equipped with threads on both sides, with entrance side there is a gasket. The mechanism is spring-loaded. External pressure can increase the blockage. After assembling the structure, it is pressurized, so the valve of this type very reliable and affordable.

Safety shut-off valve also can work in sewer system to protect against backflow pressure.

Features of three-way valves

The purpose and operating principle of three-way safety valves is somewhat different from other options, and so their key differences:

Such valves are most often used in heating systems that include “warm floors”. In this way, the water for heating the floors will be much cooler than the water in the radiator.

For the manufacture of three-way safety valves the following is used:

  • steel;
  • brass;
  • cast iron.

Brass structures are most common when installing home heating systems, while steel and cast iron are more typical for larger industrial installations.

It is also worth paying attention to the explosion safety valve, which can prevent the explosion of flammable gases or coal dust. They are made in such a way that if the substance explodes, only the membrane of the structure is damaged, and the pipeline remains unharmed.

This type of product operates automatically. Depending on the pressure, they There are several types of them:

  • with pressure up to 2 kPa;
  • up to 40 kPa;
  • 150 kPa inclusive.

How to choose the right safety valve

When choosing a safety valve, you should consider huge amount certain factors. In particular, be sure to take the ambient operating pressure into account. If this pressure is higher than normal, then you need choose a product for 2 bar, which can withstand such operating conditions of the product. In addition, you can choose an option with the ability to adjust the pressure so that you can adjust the required mode and find out the exact parameters, in particular, the nominal diameter.

There are a number of standards regarding the performance of calculations; you can also find special ones on the Internet calculation programs. You can do without calculations and take a structure with a diameter no less than the diameter of the outlet pipe of your boiler, but such a calculation will not be accurate and cannot guarantee high level safety and performance.

In general, in order to choose the right product, you should consider the following parameters:

  • decide on the type of product;
  • with a size so that the pressure in the system does not exceed the permissible limits;
  • It is better to choose spring-type products for your home;
  • open devices are suitable only if the water goes into the atmosphere, and closed ones - if into the outlet pipeline;
  • after calculations, you can determine whether a low-lift valve or a full-lift valve is suitable;
  • calculate your budget.

Safety valve prices vary depending on the material and other features. For example, an Italian-made membrane structure can be buy for about 4 USD., and brass – starting from 12 USD. There are also some valve models whose cost exceeds $100.

Safety valve installation features

When installing the valve, you must strictly follow all the rules listed in regulatory documentation products. Also, the installation must be carried out taking into account the power and operating pressure.

But The key installation principles are:

We also must not forget that it is necessary to regulate and check the pressure at least once a year before the heating season.

How to set a safety valve

The valve must be adjusted at the installation location after completion installation work and after the system is flushed. Set the setting pressure, check the opening and closing pressure of the product.

The settings should be set slightly above the maximum operating pressure, which is permissible during normal operation of the structure. A full opening pressure should not be higher than the minimum level of the weakest element of the system. The closing pressure must exceed the minimum permissible value.

Adjust the pressure in spring design it is necessary by rotating a special screw that compresses the spring, and the lever structure is adjusted using the required mass of the load.

So, the valve is ready for operation, if he is able to ensure the tightness of the overlap, as well as the complete opening and closing of the shutter. In addition, the pressure may deviate within the permissible fluctuations, which are given in the technical data sheet of the product.

Safety valves are classified as safety valves. They are needed to protect the pipeline system from excessive pressure build-up in the pipeline system, as well as steam boilers, tanks and other containers. If the pressure is exceeded, they release part of the working fluid into the environment or into a special outlet pipe. They work automatically.

Safety valve design (using the example of a spring Flamco Prescor S 960)

Operating principle of safety valves

The valve spool is connected to a spring set to a certain compression at a certain pressure. IN in good condition pressure, the spring tightly presses the spool to the seat, the safety valve is closed and does not allow the working medium to pass through. Under the influence high blood pressure, acting on the spool, the spring is compressed, allowing the spool to move away from the seat and release the working fluid through the drain channel.

To avoid sticking of the spool to the seat (and this can happen often if the working medium of the pipeline is steam or superheated water), it is necessary to periodically open it forcibly. This is called “valve blowing”. To do this, install handles for manual control.

You can learn more about the design and operating principle of a spring safety valve from the video

Types of safety valves

All types of safety valves operate on the same principle described above. But they are divided into subspecies according to various parameters.

According to the type of device that exerts back pressure on the valve

Spring

Spring valves are most widely used due to their ease of operation and small size. They have a spring that regulates the valve opening pressure.

There are proportional and full-lift spring safety valves.

  • In proportional, the release of the medium occurs smoothly in proportion to the increasing pressure.
  • In full-lift valves, when the set pressure is reached, the valve opens immediately and completely, to a distance greater than or equal to the cross-section of the inlet opening. Excess working medium is quickly discharged.

Lever - cargo.

Lever-weight safety valve

In lever-weight safety valves, the maximum pressure is regulated by a lever and a weight mounted on the lever. The larger the weight and lever, the more pressure is needed to open the valve and release the fluid. They are used much less frequently than spring ones, as they are large in size, weight, and create vibrations. Not used on moving systems and where pipeline vibration is possible. They are used in boiler rooms with stationary steam boilers.

According to the lifting height of the spool

The higher the spool is able to rise above the seat, the greater its throughput and efficiency. It is very important to pay attention to this parameter of the safety valve, because valves with the same diameter (DN), but different lifts, have different characteristics.

  • Low lift. Valves in which the spool rises from 1/40 to 1/20 of the valve section size. These are the simplest safety valves that are used in systems without large throughput requirements, working mainly with water and other liquids.
  • Medium lift. The spool in such safety valves rises by 1/10 - 1/6 of the valve size. With a complicated design, they still do not provide full cross-country ability, so this type is not very popular.
  • High lifting. They ensure full cross-country ability by raising the spool to a height equal to or greater than the diameter of the inlet hole.

By type of working environment reset

  • Safety valves open type. They release the working environment directly into the outside world.
  • Safety valves closed type. They are sealed to environment and discharge the working medium through a special outlet channel.

According to the valve operation method

  • Direct acting valves. The opening/closing of the valve is directly influenced by the working medium, acting directly on the spool. This reliable type triggering. Unfortunately, it cannot be used for large pipelines with high pressure.
  • Pulse action valves. Have in their design additional device– pulse valve. In this type of valve, the working medium is released only after a command from the pulse valve. Applicable for large diameters and pressure.

Where are safety valves used?

The main task of safety valves is to ensure the safe operation of municipal, industrial, and energy equipment, which can be found in the oil and gas, chemical, food, and housing and communal services industries. In enterprises that use compressed air or steam, the system cannot do without safety valves.

Pipeline safety valves are especially relevant in household systems gas supply, where a violation of pressure can lead not just to equipment failure, but to a serious disaster that can claim many lives. That is why safety valves are produced in accordance with increased quality control requirements.
