TSV Safety Valves Application
The pressure control component is positioned within the valve body to safeguard against inadvertent operation. These TSV Safety Valves possess an adjustable range spanning from 0 to 5 bars as a standard configuration. However, upon request, they can be provided with disc springs, thereby enabling an adjustment range extending up to 12 bars.

What are Safety Valves?
Safety valves are mechanical devices designed to protect pressurized systems from overpressure by automatically releasing excess pressure when it exceeds a predetermined limit. These valves are critical in preventing potential damage, equipment failure, or hazardous situations that could arise due to overpressure conditions.
The basic principle of operation for a safety valve is that it is set to open at a specific pressure (called the “set pressure”). When the pressure inside a system exceeds this threshold, the valve opens to release the excess pressure, typically by discharging gas or liquid to a safe location. Once the pressure falls below the set point, the valve closes again.
Common Features of Safety Valves:
- Spring-loaded mechanism: A spring holds the valve closed, and pressure builds up to overcome the spring force and open the valve.
- Pop-action: The valve opens rapidly when pressure exceeds the set limit, allowing for quick release of the excess pressure.
- Reset mechanism: After the system pressure returns to normal, the valve closes automatically, ensuring that the system is not left open.
Sectors Where Safety Valves are Used
Safety valves are used across various industries where pressurized systems are involved. Some key sectors include:
- Oil and Gas:
- Application: In drilling, production facilities, refineries, and transportation pipelines.
- Purpose: To protect equipment like pressure vessels, compressors, and pipelines from excessive pressure.
- Chemical and Petrochemical Industry:
- Application: In reactors, pressure tanks, and chemical processing systems.
- Purpose: To prevent overpressure that could lead to explosions or chemical spills.
- Power Generation:
- Application: In boilers, steam turbines, and nuclear power plants.
- Purpose: To ensure safe operation by preventing excessive pressure in steam generation systems.
- Manufacturing and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning):
- Application: In boilers, air compressors, and HVAC systems.
- Purpose: To safeguard against equipment failure due to overpressure in systems like refrigeration units or hot water systems.
- Food and Beverage Industry:
- Application: In pasteurizers, autoclaves, and bottling plants.
- Purpose: To maintain safe pressure conditions during food sterilization or carbonation processes.
- Pharmaceuticals:
- Application: In sterilization equipment, reactors, and production vessels.
- Purpose: To avoid overpressure in sensitive production and sterilization processes.
- Water Treatment and Distribution:
- Application: In pressurized water systems, pipelines, and storage tanks.
- Purpose: To prevent rupture or system failure in water distribution networks or treatment plants.
- Automotive Industry:
- Application: In engine systems, fuel tanks, and airbags.
- Purpose: To maintain safe operating pressures in various automotive systems.
- Aerospace:
- Application: In aircraft fuel systems and pressurized cabins.
- Purpose: To maintain safety in high-pressure systems during flight.
- Marine:
- Application: In ship engines, boilers, and compressed air systems.
- Purpose: To prevent catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment onboard vessels.
In all these industries, safety valves are essential for maintaining system integrity and safeguarding human lives and the environment.
