Without a pressure relief valve the pressure could go out of control and put a serious strain on the pump and can even blow up your typical spin on oil filter.
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.
The purpose of both the valves is same - that to maintain a certain level(in a vessel or tank...) Simple Level valve could be referred to an ON - OFF valve where as control valve could be referred to an analog type of valve. On - OFF valve is for a crude control of level, while control valve is used where a fine level control is needed.
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.
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.
Control valve: Used to modify flow rate in a process control system.It has characterization: linear,equal percentage and quick opening Pressure inlet must be higher than the output pressure Regulator:Diapghram operating valve which controls outlet pressure (reducing application),control inlet pressure (back pressure) or either (differential reducing and differential relief applications
The relief valve is part of the oil pump, inside the oil pan.
