What is Difference between relief valve and safety valve?

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.


Difference between set pressure and blow-off pressure?

The set pressure is the pressure at which a relief valve starts to open. When the valve is open and relieving, the pressure will be higher or lower than the set pressure, depending on the system and the valve design. That is the blow-off pressure.

What component allows heat pump to switch between heating and cooling modes of operation?

the reversing valve is what actually changes the refrigeration cycle from heat to cool. the reversing valve receives its signal from the thermostat.


What is the difference between API 6A and API 6D valves?

It's quite easy. API 6A speaks about wellhead and x-mas tree equipment, API 6D speaks about pipeline valves. If you are phisically looking to one valve, you can also understand if it belows to 6A or 6D giving a look to the valve label. On the label you can read the class of the valve. If the class is 2000 or 3000 or 5000 or 10000 or 15000 or 20000 the valve is 6A. If the class is 125 or 150 or 300 or 400 or 600 or 900 or 1500 or 2500 the valve probably is a 6D ("probably" because the same classes of API 6D are used also by other API standards, like 594, 600, 608, ecc ecc).
