If you want to know everything about pressure reducing valves: applications, mode of operation and much more, in this article you will find all the information you are looking for.
Valfonta has 50 years of experience in the field of pressure reducing valves. It has a wide range of all kinds of domestic and industrial solutions thanks to the extensive experience and knowledge acquired. Its leadership in the market allows it to design customized pressure reducing valves to face any eventuality.
Pressure reducing valves: applications where they are indispensable
There are multiple and varied applications of pressure reducing valves. From water, through other liquids to elements such as compressed air, hydrocarbons, or oils. Here are some concrete examples:
Applications of the different types of pressure reducing valves of Valfonta
The pressure reducing valve, which regulates the outlet pressure even with oscillations in the inlet pressure, has among other applications the following: chemical laboratory installations, sanitary, industrial, compressed air, fuel oil, steam installations, heat exchangers, distilleries, vulcanizing cylinders and presses, dry cleaners, laundries, steam irons, ovens, autoclaves, etc.
Functionalities of other valve types
Pressure relief valves
The also known as overpressure valves have the function, as the name suggests, of relieving pressure in cases where a fluid or liquid exceeds a pre-established limit. Due to its intrinsic characteristics, it is therefore possible to rate both for pressure and vacuum. The main purpose is to prevent the failure of a pipe or equipment due to excessive pressure, with a consequent explosion. In industry, pressure relief valves have a great application in all types of sectors such as food, beverages, chemical or industrial.
In Valfonta we have a wide range of excess and pressure relief valves:
Control and safety valves
Control valves handle a circulating fluid, such as gas, steam, water or chemical compounds, to compensate for load disturbances and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point. In contrast, pressure relief safety is designed to open and relieve an increase in the internal pressure of the fluid, due to exposure to abnormal operating conditions or emergencies. They are acted by the energy of static pressure.
The control valves work in the handling of fluids such as steam, gases, water, or other chemical products with the function of maintaining controlled variables in the process that remain at the required levels. On the other hand, security can be found in industrial, commercial and domestic facilities. This type of valves are generally mandatory in all facilities in which they are maintained or in which fluids circulate and in which there are changes in temperature and / or pressure.
