WHAT ARE CHECK VALVES

OPEN WITH FORWARD FLOW AND CLOSE WITH REVERSE FLOW MODE OF FLOW REGULATION REQUIRES PREVENTION OF RETURN FLOW TO MAINTAIN PRIME AFTER PUMP STOPS TO PREVENT STANDBY PUPMS AND COMPRESSORS DRIVING IN REVERSE

TYPES OF CHECK VALVES

LIFT CHECK VALVES SWING CHECK VALVES TILTING DISC CHECK VALVES DIAPHRAM CHECK VALVES

LIFT CHECK VALVE

CLOSURE MEMBER TRAVELS IN DIRECTION NORMAL TO THE PLANE OF SEAT

SWING CHECK VALVE

CLOSURE MEMBER SWINGS ABOUT A HINGE WHICH IS MOUNTED OUTSIDE A SEAT

SPRING ASSISTANCE FOR QUICK CLOSURE

MOUNTING POSITIONS

PROCESS GAS NRV

TILTING DISC CHECK VALVE

CLOSURE MEMBER TILTS ABOUT A HINGE MOUNTEDNEA R ABOVE OR CENTRE OF SEAT

DIAPHRAGM CHECK VALVES

CLOSURE MEMBER CONSISTS OF A DIAPHRAGM WHICH DEFLECTS FROM OR AGAINST A SEAT A TIDE GATE

SELECTION OF CHECK VALVES

CLOSING SPEED CLOSING CHARACTERISTIC OF VALVE SIZING TO ENABLE NORMAL FLOW . VALVE SIZE AT WHICH VALVE IS FULLY OPEN AT GIVEN FLOW RATE CAN BE FOUND COMPRESSIBLE FLUIDS INCOMPRESSIBLE FLUIDS(VALVE FLUTTER)

OPERATION OF CHECK VALVE

A) B) CHECK VALVE SHOULD OPERATE IN A MANNER THAT SHOULD AVOID FORMATION OF HIGH SURGE PR DUE TO VALVE CLOSING RAPID FLUCTUATION MOVEMENT OF VALVE CLOSURE MEMBER SHOULD CLOSE FAST TO AVOID REVERSE FLOW VELOCITY(CASE OF ONE PUMP FAILURE IN SEVERAL RUNNING PUMPS) RAPID FLUCTUATION OF CLOSURE MEMBER TO BE AVOIDED- VALVE FAILURE;AVOIDED BY SIZING OF VALVE FOR A FLOW VELOCITY IN FLOW PULSATIONS-SHOULD BE MOUNTED AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SOURCE

C)
D)

E)

ASSESMENT OF CHECK VALVE FOR FAST CLOSING

CLOSURE MEBER TRAVEL FROM FULLY OPEN TO CLOSE POSITION TO BE AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE;SO SMALLER VALVES ARE FASTER INERTIA OF CLOSURE MEMBER TO BE AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.BUT CLOSING FORCE TO BE HIGH FOR LIGHT WT CONSTRN WITH HIGH CLOSING FORCE;BETTER ADD A SPRING FORCE RESTRICTION AROUND MOVING CLOSURE MEMBER TO BE AVOIDED

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES

PRESSURE RELIEVING DEVICES THAT AUTOMATICALLY RELIEVE THE PRESSURE IN A SYSTEM WHEN ABNORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS CAUSE PR TO EXCEED SET LIMIT.THEY RECLOSE WHEN PR RECEDS BELOW SET LIMIT

PRVs-HOW THEY WORK

CLOSE OPEN

PRVs- BROAD TYPES

OPERATED DIRECTLY BY UPSTREAM SYSTEM PRESSURE DIRECT ACTING:FLUID LOAD ACTS UNDERSIDE OF THE DISC OPPOSED BY MECHANICAL SPRING FORCE OR WT PILOTED:CAN BE PILOTED BY MECHANISM SENSING PR AND PILOTING IT TO OPEN/CLOSE BY INTRODUCING OR REDUCING CLOSING FORCE MODULATED;CAN BE MODULATWED OPEN OR CLOSE DURING THE ENTIRE OR SOME PORTION OF LIFT

PRVs TYPES
PROPORTIONAL PRV:OPENS IN PRORTION TO RISE IN OVER PR FULL LIFT PRV:OPENS IN PROPORTION TO RISE IN OVERPRAND THEN OPENS SUDDENLY TO FULLOPEN POSITION RELIEF VALVE:FOR LIQUID SERVICE SAFETY VALVE:NORMALLY FOR GAS SERVICE

MISBEHAVIOUR OF PRVs
VALVE FLUTTER/CHATTER OVERSIZED VALVE VALVE SIZED FOR MAXM FLOW BUT PR UPSETS ARE MINOR BACK PRESSURE IS TOO HIGH VALVE MOUNTED TOO CLOSE TO EQUIPMENT CAUSING FLOW TURBULENCE AND PR FLUCTUATIONS VALVE MOUNTED CLOSE TO PUMP COMPRESSOR TOO HIGH SEAT LEAKAGE

PRV LEAKAGES
WORN SEATINGS VALVE OPERATES TOO CLOSE TO SET PR EXCESSIVE PIPELINE STRESSES CAUSING DISTORTION OF VALVWE BODY

PRV FOR LUB OIL SYSTEM

PSV COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE

PILOT OPERATED PSV

PSV ISOLATION

PSV SUPPORTS

RUPTURE DISCS
PRESSURE CONTAINING AND PRESSURE SENSITIVE ELEMENTS PROTECT PR SYSTEM FROM OVER PR BY BURSTING WITHIN PRE DETERMINED PR DIFFERENTIAL ACROSS THE DISC TO RESTORE THE SYSTEM THE RUPTURE DISC HAS TO BE REPLACED

APPLN OF RUPTURE DISCS

DO NOT RECLOSE AFTER BURSTING SO ECONOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS ARE IMP IN SOME CASES PERFORM BETTER THAN PRVs PREFFERED UNDER FOLLOWING CONDITIONS UNCONTROLLED REACTION OR RAPID PRESSURISATION WHERE INERTIA OF PRV COULD HINDER REQD RELEASE WHERE AT NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS EVEN A MINUTE LEAKAGE OF FLUID INTO ATM IS NOT PERMITTED EXTREMELY VISCOUS FLUIDS WHERE FLUIDS DEPOSIT SOLIDS TO THE UNDERSIDE OF PRVs WHERE LOW TEMP WOULD CAUSE PRVs TO SIEZE

CONSN MATL OF RUPTR DISCS

COMMON DUCTILE MATL ARE STAINLESS STEELS ALUMINIUM INCONEL NICKEL MONEL HASTELLOY PLATINUM SILVER TITANIUM

PROTECTIVE COATINGS ON RD

PTFE EPOXY VINYL LEAD PLOYETHYLENE

CROSS-SCORED RD BEFORE AND AFTER BURSTING

RD-WRINKLE PATTERN STRECHED

MOUNTING PATTERNS OF RDs

TWO RDs IN SERIES PROCESS FLUID MAY CORRODE ONE CAUSING TO LEAK ,THE SECOND WOULD PREVENT LEAKAGE TO SURROUNDINGS IN PARALLEL WITH A PRV PRV SET AT PRIMARY SETTING,RD PROTECTS FROM OVER PRSTN IN SERIES WITH PRV TO PREVENT CORROSIVE FLUID LEAKING INTO PRV
