A Numerical Model about the Dynamic Behavior of a Pressure Relief Valve

چکیده
Pressure relief valve is one of the most important devices used on the security of pipelines, since it is responsible to guarantee the integrity of the installations. Generally, the response and behavior of a relief valve during its transient is unknown by users, who employ simplified and static analysis to design the pipeline, further, the information provided by manufactures is limited. In this work, a numerical dynamic model of a spring load pressure relief valve was developed using the principles of conservation of mass and momentum in combination with solid dynamics equation. The valve discharge coefficient was numerically determined by employing a simplified twodimensional model with FLUENT. The dynamic characteristics of the valve were examined with regard to the pressure set point, disc lift and spring parameters, during the transient discharge flow.

متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Magnetorheological Damper Valve Configurations Using Finite Element Method
The main purpose of this paper is to study various configurations of a magnetorheological (MR) damper valve and to evaluate their performance indices typically dynamic range, valve ratio, inductive time constant and pressure drop. It is known that these performance indices (PI) of the damper depend upon the magnetic circuit design of the valve. Hence, nine valve configurations are considered fo...

متن کاملAnalysis of the Discharge Coefficient of a Spring Loaded Pressure Relief Valves during Its Dynamic Behavior
Direct acting spring loaded pressure relief valve is one of the most important devices to ensure security to pipeline oil transport. However, relief valves’ manufactures generally only provide information on valve characteristics under full opening stage, which is obtained under steady state regime, therefore, valve and flow’s transient behavior are neglected. Understanding the transient behavi...
