Thermal Expansion Relief Valve

on
Remember that this is a relief device that reacts to high pressure – NOT TEMPERATURE. Some engineers have the erroneous impression that a thermal relief valve reacts to temperature. This is an erroneous concept. What this means is that the valve will respond to high gas pressure as well as to high liquid hydraulic pressure. HOWEVER, this type of relief valve cannot be relied upon to discharge the proper amount of excess gas or vapor that may be needed – for example, in a fire case. Recall what I stated above: these valves have a narrow scope of work and if there are TRVs on a liquid pipeline that may be used for other services – especially gas, vapor, or 2-phase flow – it is very important that this be noted on the related P&ID and, if possible, on the TRV itself. As a responsible engineer it is very important that you correctly identify what this valve protects against so that a false sense of security is not assumed.
