Kunkle 0930-J01-GC-15 safety relief valve is ideal for pressure-reducing stations, steam boilers & generators, rotary or reciprocating compressors, intercoolers and aftercoolers. This device prevents catastrophic overpressure situations to protect pressurised systems and possible catastrophes.
Working Mechanism:
- As the pressure in the system increases beyond the set limit, the safety relief valve starts working.
- Then the valve's disc lifts in response to the rising pressure, creating an opening for excess pressure to be released.
- Excess fluid or gas is efficiently discharged through the valve, preventing overpressure in the system.
- Once the pressure normalises, the valve disc reseats and resets the valve for future pressure buildup.
Features:
- This safety relief valve has cast iron construction with a bronze nozzle, guide and disc for structural rigidity and leakproof operations.
- It comes with a large seat area / guide area ratio for precise control and improved operational efficiency.
- This Kunkle relief valve features a disc pivot design for improved sealing.
- It is equipped with a reversible lift lever for easy pull-up or pull-down manual testing.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How do I install Kunkle 0930-J01-GC-15 safety relief valve?
A.
- Securely mount the valve using fasteners for a stable fit.
- Connect the valve to the system for proper alignment and sealing.
- Adjust the valve settings and inspect thoroughly for proper installation.
Q. How does the relieving capacity of a safety relief valve change under back pressure conditions?
A. When total back pressure exceeds Ra (the pressure at which the valve starts to open), the relieving capacity will be reduced, resulting from the valve lift being reduced.
Q. Does Raptor Supplies offer other safety relief valves with lower steam capacity?
A. Yes, customers looking for Kunkle safety relief valves with lower steam capacity can opt for Kunkle 0930-H01-GC-15 relief valve with a steam capacity of 3164 lb/hour.
