Generally there's a spring holding the valve close, when the internal pressure is great enough, the valve opens - until the pressure drops.
In some applications, there's a weight holding the valve closed.
pressure relief valve relief the excess pressure which is developed in the syatem, while pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure and supply it to the system.
A thermal relief valve is a liquid-only relief due to expansion of a liquid with increased temperature.A safety valve relieves pressure due to a gas.It should be noted that "safety valve" is a general term which could refer to Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) or Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs), terms which are used synonymously in some industries (such as the petroleum industry) to refer to all relief devices in general.
The relief valve should be at least as large (in BTU/hr capacity) as the input of the boiler. A 3.5 million input boiler would need then a relief valve to handle at a minimum 3.5 million BTU/hr.
They serve two different purposes. An air bleed valve is used to remove air from the circulation system. A pressure relief valve is designed to automatically open when certain pressure levels are reached.
when relief valve fails open the system will have nopressure resulting in weak hydraulic operation and if it fails closed( that is the relief valve stuck closed) itwill result in very high system pressure resulting in a very high load on the pump and the enginerunning or driving it.Muawiah Itum
It can get to almost boiling if your relief valve doesn't work.
The relief valve is part of the oil pump.
Propane tanks are required to have a safety relief valve. The relief valve is a safety device on the propane tank to vent excess pressure.
pressure relief valve relief the excess pressure which is developed in the syatem, while pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure and supply it to the system.
A tell tale on a relief valve is a small opening or connection that allows excess fluid to escape when the relief valve opens. It is used to visually indicate when the relief valve is relieving pressure and discharging fluid. Tell tales are important for monitoring the performance and functionality of relief valves in a system.
Converter relief valve ensures high line pressure does not flood/overrun the solenoid.
The high oil pressure relief valve is located in the oil pump
Relief valve always position in the suction line in oreder to relief the extra pressure, while safety valve is always placed at discharge line to release excess pressure.I would take that one step further by stating that a " RELIEF VALVE" is one that is "meant" to be lifted off its seat, as opposed to a "SAFETY RELIEF VALVE" which is not!DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RELIEF VALVE AND SAFETY VALVE:1. Releif valve is applicable in the fluid system.safety valve is applicable in the gaseous system.2.Relief valve opening is directly proportional to the pressure rise.Safety valve opening is will happen at after reaching the setpressure.3.Mode of relif vlave line is again connected to the suction.But in the safety valve is just vent-out there is no connection tosuction.

The relief valve is part of the oil pump, inside the oil pan.
The relief valve should be at least as large (in BTU/hr capacity) as the input of the boiler. A 3.5 million input boiler would need then a relief valve to handle at a minimum 3.5 million BTU/hr.
