Snap-Type Safety Relief Valve Having A Consistent Low Blow-Down Value
US Patent:
2002018, Dec 19, 2002
Filed:
Jun 19, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/885293
Inventors:
Jeremy Choate - Stafford TX, US
Michael Easton - Edmond OK, US
Michael Easton - Edmond OK, US
International Classification:
F16K017/20
US Classification:
137/469000
Abstract:
A snap-type safety relief valve is provided that is designed for use under specified operating conditions on a pressure vessel or a flow line having a pressurized gas therein. The safety relief valve comprises: (a) a body attachable to the pressure vessel or flow line, the body comprising a chamber therein and an inlet and an outlet, the inlet comprising an inlet valve seat, the outlet being adapted to attach to outlet piping; (b) a disk member closable on the inlet valve seat; (c) a mechanism in the body biasing the disk member to rest on the inlet valve seat with a set force such that when the pressure in the pressure vessel exceeds a set pressure resulting from the set force, the disk member is lifted from the inlet valve seat; and (d) a secondary orifice between the chamber and the outlet, the secondary orifice being sized so that gas flows from the inlet valve seat into the chamber in a sonic flow and so that gas flows from the chamber through the secondary orifice in a sonic flow when the valve opens due to a pressure in the pressure vessel or flow line exceeding the set pressure during testing under the specified operating conditions. A method of designing a low blow-down snap-type safety relief valve is provided, as is a method of relieving pressure from a pressurized system using a snap-type safety relief valve.

International Classification:
F16K 15/06
US Classification:
267177, 267174
Abstract:
A safety relief valve is provided that comprises a body comprising a chamber therein and an inlet and an outlet, the inlet comprising an inlet valve seat; a disk member closable on the inlet valve seat; and a mechanism in the body biasing the disk member to rest on the inlet valve seat with a set force such that when the pressure in the inlet exceeds a set pressure resulting from the set force, the disk member is lifted from the inlet valve seat, the mechanism comprising a combination of a coil spring and one or more disk springs stacked in series with the coil spring. A method of preparing a coil spring for use in a pressure relief valve comprises measuring the spring rate of the coil spring and; modifying the spring so as to modify its spring rate to be within ±2% of a desired spring rate.
