Pilot-operated Safety Valve
A pilot-operated safety valve is a high-performance, high-precision safety relief device that utilizes system media pressure to actuate the main valve. Its core working principle is as follows:
A pilot valve (guide valve) senses system pressure. When the pressure exceeds the set value, the pilot valve actuates first, subsequently controlling and driving the main valve disc to open rapidly and fully, achieving high-flow discharge.
The pilot-operated safety valve features a complex and precise structure, typically consisting of:Main valve (large-diameter valve body),Pilot valve (small pressure-sensing controller),Connecting pipelines,Control unit,Its operation is unaffected by backpressure, offering excellent sealing performance, highly accurate set pressure, and excellent repeatability.
The pilot-operated safety valves produced by Kaiweixi Valve Group offer key advantages such as outstanding performance under large-diameter, high-pressure, and high-capacity conditions, along with zero leakage, high precision, and online pressure adjustment capabilities. The design allows the main valve to adopt a balanced configuration, making it insensitive to changes in system backpressure. These valves serve as top-tier safety protection devices in critical industrial sectors such as petrochemicals, natural gas storage and transportation, ultra-high-pressure power plants, liquefied natural gas facilities, and nuclear power plants.
