The new series VSU 3-5403 universal pressure |
|
safety relief valves represents the third step in evolution |
of the first series 3-5401 dated 1989. The new |
|
series geometry is moulded by demanding experimental |
tests campaign supported by CFD and FEM |
|
analyses. Experimental tests, both on compressible |
(air) and incompressible (water) fluids, with and |
without back pressure, were performed according to |
PED requirements (standard ISO 4126-1 and working |
draft ISO 4126-11). |
|
|
|
With respect to previous series VSU 3-5402, the |
new series still provides high quality overpressure |
protection with the same valve on gas, steam, vapour, |
liquid and two-phase mixtures services and, in |
|
addition, offers dramatic improvement of discharge |
flow rates under back pressure conditions. |
