Why does steam come out of the pressure cooker the whole time?

Steam escapes from a pressure cooker when the pressure inside becomes greater that the weights used on the safety valve in the lid. Excessive escaping steam signals it is time to turn down the gas or electricity slightly. (Otherwise, the pressure cooker would eventually explode if the safety valve was not there to relieve the steam pressure!)


Difference between Thermal relief valve and safety valve?

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.


What is function of drum in thermal power plant?

Steam drums are used on recirculating boilers that operate at subcritical pressures. The primary purpose of the steam drum is to separate the saturated steam from the steam-water mixture that leaves the heat transfer surfaces and enters the drum.


Can a wog valve be used for steam?

A wog valve, which stands for water, oil, and gas, is typically not recommended for steam applications due to the high temperatures and pressures associated with steam. While some wog valves may handle low-pressure steam, they are generally not designed to withstand the conditions found in steam systems. For steam applications, it's best to use valves specifically rated for steam service to ensure safety and reliability. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications before use.


The purpose of a bypass valve in larger-size gate valves is to?

In an application of pressure reduction, the warm up valve (bypass valve) is used to warm the steam line, within recommended time frames, before the control valve is placed into operation. A steam control valve should not be used for warm up of a steam distribution line.


What is different between pressure safety valve and temperature safety valve?

Pressure safety valve-are the valve who are designed such that it can control the pressure , like in the water blowers etc,and Temperature safety valve are those who are used to regulate the temperature like, in water boilers.


Steam engine piston valve?

Yes, steam engines do have pistons and valves. The piston valve is shaped like a piston hence its name. It used to control the flow of live (boiler) steam into the cylinder and the flow of exhaust steam out of the cylinder.

What would happen if the contianer did not have pressure relese valve?

As the pressure increased, eventually the container would burst. Before such a dangerous pressure is reached, a safety valve would open and automatically release the pressure, preventing the container from bursting. An example is the safety valve fitted to the lid of a domestic pressure cooker used in the kitchen. When the safety valve opened, steam would be released and warn the cook to turn heat on the kitchen stove down to a safer level.
