Working Principle of Air Compressor Safety Valve

When the medium pressure in the air compressor or pipe increases beyond the specified value, the medium will be discharged out of the system through special valves to prevent the pressure of the pipe or equipment from exceeding the specified value. When the control pressure does not exceed the specified value, it can play an essential role in protecting the air compressor operation and personal safety.

Air Compressor Safety Valve Function

To ensure the safe use of pressure pipeline and pressure vessel. To guarantee the work of the safety valve and prolong its service life, the user should regularly check for leakage and observe phenomenon such as jam and spring corrosion, as well as the adjustable screws, lock nuts and adjust the tightness if there are any loose. Appropriate maintenance measures should take in time when problems found. The safety valve should also be removed regularly for comprehensive cleaning, inspection and re-grinding, refixing before reuse. Should take appropriate protective measures on the safety valve installed outdoors to prevent rain, fog, dust, rust and other dirt into the safety valve and the exhaust pipeline. When the environmental temperature is too low, it should also take necessary anti-freezing measures to ensure the reliability of the safety valve operation.
