Different additions can be inserted in our valves to improve its performance, for that, we can supply our Uniflow gate valves with a bypass to enhance the efficiency of the product. But what is this accessory for?
When the liquid present in the central cavity of valves is heated, it can lead to over pressurization. This happens because the entrapped fluid expands, causing an increase in pressure that can make the valve ineffective. In severe scenarios, it can even cause a breach in the pressure boundary.
To prevent overpressure and ensure pressure relief, a reliable solution is to establish an equalizing pipe/valve connection to the body cavity on the pressurized valve side.
