The safety valve is an automatic safety device that can quickly release steam when the pressure is too high to prevent explosion accidents. It is the last line of defense against steam generator accidents and is also a key piece of equipment to ensure life safety and equipment integrity. Generally speaking, a steam generator needs to be installed with at least two safety valves. Generally speaking, the rated displacement of the safety valve should be less than the maximum processing capacity of the steam generator to ensure normal operation at the maximum load.
The maintenance and upkeep of safety valves is also very critical. During use, the accuracy and sensitivity of the safety valve need to be checked regularly, and maintenance must be carried out in strict accordance with the instructions for use and maintenance manual. If signs of failure or malfunction are found in the safety valve, it should be replaced or repaired in time to ensure the safe operation of the steam generator.
Therefore, the safety valve in the steam generator is an indispensable piece of equipment. It is not only the last line of defense to ensure the safety of personnel, but also a key measure to protect the integrity and operational stability of the equipment. In order to ensure the safe operation of the steam generator, we must pay attention to many aspects such as the selection, installation, maintenance and upkeep of the safety valve.
