Apollo 511DCDJMAA0150 relief valve maintains pressure within safe limits, preventing potential equipment damage, leaks or catastrophic failures. Releasing excess pressure buildup ensures system integrity and protects components from overpressure conditions. It is ideal for industrial and commercial applications where pressure relief is critical for system safety and functionality.
Working Mechanism:
- Apollo 511DCDJMAA0150 relief valve operates by balancing system pressure. When pressure exceeds the valve's preset threshold, it opens, allowing excess pressure to escape through the outlet. Once pressure returns to normal, the valve closes, ensuring continuous system safety.
Features:
- It features bronze construction for durability and corrosion resistance.
- This relief valve offers adjustable pressures ranging from 15 to 160 psi, providing precise pressure regulation.
- It comes with a disc made of brass ASTM B16 for strength.
- This relief valve can be operated at temperatures ranging from 0 to 250 degrees F.
- It includes a test lever, allowing for testing of valve functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the difference between a pressure relief valve and a pressure-reducing valve?
A. The pressure relief valve is connected between the DCV and the branch circuit, whereas a pressure-reducing valve is attached between the pump and the tank line.
Q. How to troubleshoot a pressure relief valve?
A. Troubleshooting a pressure relief valve involves checking for leaks, verifying the set pressure and checking blockages or obstructions.
