Description
Overview:
Pressure Relief Valves, also known as safety release valves, expansion relief valves, or PRVs, play a vital role in preventing hazardous pressure buildup within systems. Widely utilized in domestic properties, they are a common feature in boilers and unvented cylinders. These valves function by opening to release excessive pressure when it reaches unsafe levels and closing once pressure returns within a secure range. Manufacturers of boilers, unvented cylinders, and pressurized water heaters recommend annual maintenance and servicing of safety control devices, including pressure relief valves. Damaged or malfunctioning valves should be promptly replaced. Numerous valve types operate differently but effectively maintain system pressure.
As pressure accumulates, the spring moderates the valve by blocking the passage of hot water. However, when the applied force exceeds the spring's capacity, the valve is released. Water can flow through the opened valve, which closes again as pressure decreases. Pressure Relief Valves are set at specific pressures for maximum system and user safety. While adjustable pressure relief valves exist, it's advised that, for pressurized systems, valves should adhere to the manufacturer's recommended settings, unless specified otherwise.
