Type A-PRV Pressure Relief Valve

Protects pumps & motors from damage
Valve opens & closes automatically
Valve resets itself when a blockage is cleared
No mechanical parts to get clogged or blocked
No packing to replace or maintain
Simple design not affected by harsh external environments
Pressure switches - optional

The Type A-PRV pressure relief system consists of a pinch valve in combination with a
pressure gauge.

The pinch valve is installed in a bypass line of a pump and then it is charged with air and
set closed at the pressure it is required to relieve at. If the pump becomes blocked, the Applications
increased pressure forces the sleeve to open which provides a pressure relief allowing Pressure relief for pumps, water,
the sewage to bypass the pump until the blockage is cleared. Then the valve resets itself sewage/sludge and other waste
in it’s closed position to the original set pressure. liquids with solids.

Upon increase of (internal) system pressure the sleeve is forced open providing pressure Water and sewage treatment
relief. When the internal system pressure, forcing the sleeve open, returns to normal the Food
sleeve is again forced closed by the set control pressure. Agriculture

Once charged with air, the Type A-PRV valve does not need constant air supply. Chemical
Perfect for the remote locations when compressed air is not available. Pneumatic conveying
Plastics, ceramics, glass
Advantage Powder painting systems
When a bursting disc has ‘burst’ it has to be manually reset, while a spring valve often Power plants
has to be stripped and cleaned. The type A-PRV valve resets itself. Mines / coal slurries
Cement and lime plants
In some applications in the conventional spring-operated globe-type valves the spring and many other
can easily become clogged with solids being pumped and as a result a pressure-relief
bypass fails to close properly. In the Type A-PRV valve there are dead spots to collect
debris and bind valve operation. What is more, the valve forms a tight seal even on
fibrous or granular materials.
