Full lift Spring Loaded Safety Valve Open Bonnet

VSE 1, VSR 1

The VSE 1/ VSR 1 type Full Lift Safety Valves are

specifically designed for Steam Boiler Service and
meet the requirements of the Indian Boiler Regulations
and the German Technical Rules for Power boilers
(TRD 401 / 421). These valves are available in 16 sizes
with orifice letters (A to R) and DIN flanges and 13
sizes with API-526 orifice sizes (EA-TA) and ANSI
flanges covering set pressure ranges from 0.5 Bar to
500 Bar. A variety of materials are available to cover
temperature ranges upto 5500C. The salient design and
constructional features are :
• Inlet Full Nozzle made of forged materials to ensure
safe operation at the highest pressure conditions.
• Body as well as inlet/outlet connections are
deliberately oversized compared to the
recommendations of API 526 to provide favourable
flow characteristics and keep flow velocities and
dynamic pressure losses low in the feed pipe.
• Stem is precisely guided by a piston, which slides in
the guide bush. The piston and guide bush provide
a large guiding area, which ensures concentric
spindle loading and repeatability of opening and
closing cycles.
• All internal parts made from corrosion resistant
austenitic materials with balanced thermal
expansion co-efficients.
• Provision of a Balanced Piston design to eliminate
the effects of back pressure and achieve low reseat
pressure differences (blowdown).
• Precisely wound spring made from chrome
vanadium steel specially designed to eliminate
eccentric loading and provide full relieving capacity
at an accumulation of only 3%.
• Atmospheric cooling of spring and self-
compensating thermal design ensures that spring
compression and rate remain consistent resulting in
repeatability of operation at varying temperature
conditions.
• All Valve bodies provided with sturdy mounting
brackets to absorb reaction forces.
• All valves precisely set on pneumatic test bench and
tested for seat leakage as per API-527.

Accessories For Safety Relief VALVES VSE 1. VSR 1

Balanced Piston SN 144
The VSE1/VSR1 valves can be fitted with balanced piston. SN 144.
Which makes valves independent of back pressure.
Valves with balanced pistons work in the same way as valves with
bellows. The outer diameter of the balanced piston corresponds to the
average seat diameter of the valve. The gap between the outer diameter
of the piston and the inner diameter of the related bore in the cover is
sealed by a gasket. This further increases tightness to the outside. The
rear of the piston is relieved towards the atmosphere. The permissible
back pressure ranges are the same as for the VSE/VSR5 valves, but
there is here no limit set regards the loadability of the bellows. The
loadability of the body must be taken into account with back pressures
higher that 15%.
Closing pressure differences of 5% can be obtained with accessory 144.
