How Smart Pressure Relief Valves Are Revolutionizing Industrial Safety
Pressure relief valves (PRVs) are safety devices in industrial systems that are designed to prevent overpressure by releasing excess pressure from equipment or pipelines. With advancements in technology and increas e in demand for safety, efficiency, & environmental sustainability, PRVs have evolved significantly over the years . The primary function of PRVs is to prevent dangerous or damaging over-pressurization scenarios, which could lead to equipment failure, explosions, or fires . They are u tilized for protection across various applications, including hot water heaters, liquid & gas storage systems, chemical treatment plants, nuclear reactors, engine fuel systems, and hydraulic systems in automobiles, construction equipment, and aircraft . Latest innovations in pressure relief valve technology The integration of Industrial Internet of Things ( IIoT ) technologies has revolutionized PRVs by enabling real-time monitoring and predictive maintena...
