PILOT OPERATED RELIEF VALVES

PILOT OPERATED RELIEF VALVES

Pressure and/or vacuum relief valves are used on liquid storage tanks and other process vessels or systems to prevent structural damage due to excess internal pressure or vacuum.

Storage tanks are pressurized when liquid is pumped in and compresses the existing vapor or when increasing temperature causes increased evaporation or expansion of existing vapor. Conversely, vacuum may be created when pumping out or decreasing temperature. To prevent damage, vapor must be allowed to escape or enter the tank at a specified pressure or vacuum. The volume rate of venting depends upon the tank size, volatility of the contents, the pumping rate, and the temperature. See API Standard 2000 for the procedures to determine venting requirements.

The pilot operated relief valve has a principal advantages over other types of relief valves:

• Seals in accordance with API 2000 requirements for Pilot Operated Relief Valves.

• It is fully open at 10% above set pressure.

These characteristics permit an operating pressure closer to the maximum allowable working pressure of the tank. High operating pressures reduce evaporation and total venting volume, thereby reducing product loss and cost of processing emissions.

A tank may also have provisions for emergency pressure relief due to fire exposure and/or an inert gas blanket in the vapor space.

A typical tank installation as shown in the drawing below, includes a pilot operated pressure/ vacuum relief valve, a gas blanketing regulator and an emergency pressure relief valve.

OPERATION

The pilot operated valve is a self-contained system which does not require any external power or pressure source. The pilot valve, using system media and pressure, automatically controls the actuator pressure to either open or close the main valve depending on the pressure setting of the pilot vs. the actual system pressures.

System media and pressure is sensed at the pickup fitting just above the inlet flange. In the case of remote sensing, the pickup point is directly on the vessel and usually close to the valve inlet. The media and pressure is then channeled to the pilot inlet and is redistributed to the sense chamber and to the actuator.

Under normal system operating conditions, the same pressure is acting downward against the actuator and upwards against the seat pallet. Since the actuator has a larger area than the seat pallet, the net force is downward which will press the pallet against the seat and thus keep the main valve closed. While the pilot and main valve are closed, there is no bleed to the atmosphere.

When the system pressure rises to the pilot set point due to an overpressure condition, the upward force in the pilot sense chamber will overcome the downward spring force to lift the pilot stem. As the stem lifts, it opens the pilot seat to allow flow through the pilot and out to the atmosphere (in applications where nothing is permitted to discharge directly into the atmosphere, the pilot discharge may be plumbed to the main valve outlet for channeling to a collection header. The flow through the pilot and adjustable orifice will cause a pressure drop downstream of the orifice which in turn causes the pressure in the actuator to drop. When the actuator pressure decreases to a point where the upward force on the seat pallet is greater than the downward force of the actuator, the main valve will open. The amount the main valve opens depends on the system overpressure. The greater the overpressure, the wider the main valve opens, until full open is obtained at approximately 10% overpressure.

After the excess pressure has been relieved and the system pressure is again below the set point of the pilot, the valve will return to its normal closed position.

PILOT OPERATED RELIEF VALVES

DESIGN AND FUNCTION PRESSURE RELIEF-PILOT ACTUATED

The function of the pilot valve (A) is to control pressure in the main valve actuator (B) or upper dome of the main valve. The effective area of the actuator diaphragm (1) is significantly larger than the pallet seat area (2). Tank pressure is applied both on top of the actuator diaphragm and below the main valve seat area. Because of the area ratio, the downward force (actuator) is greater than the opening force (pallet) and results in a tight main valve seat.

When tank pressure reaches set pressure, the force acting upward on the pilot valve sense diaphragm overcomes the downward spring force. The pilot valve begins to flow through the seat (6) to the breather port (3). This flow results in a pressure drop in the upper dome (B). As a result, pressure acting under the main valve pallet will open the valve and relieve the overpressure condition.

Adjustment of the blowdown needle (4) can provide either “snap-action” or “modulating” pilot valve operation. For snap-action operation, the main valve pallet lifts quickly to full open. In modulating service, the pallet will lift sufficiently to maintain set pressure regardless of the flow rate up to the rated capacity of the valve at the specified set pressure.

The main valve remains open (and flowing) as long as the tank pressure is higher than the pilot valve set pressure.

As tank pressure decreases to the pilot valve reseat pressure, the pilot valve closes allowing tank vapors to flow back into the upper dome (B). As the upper dome pressure rises, the pallet assembly is tightly closed against the seat.

The adjustable orifice or blowdown needle (4) affects the closing of the pilot valve. Blowdown can vary from zero for modulating operation to 10% for snap-action operation.

Note: The actuator diaphragm (1) is not attached to the support plate (5) unless vacuum relief or low set 1402 Pilot is specified. This design provides “inherent back-flow prevention” when the discharge header pressure exceeds tank pressure. No additional hardware is required for this protection.

DESIGN AND FUNCTION

VACUUM RELIEF-PILOT VALVE ACTUATED

Operation of a Pilot Actuated Vacuum Relief Valve is similar to pressure relief except for the physical connections between the pilot and main valve. The vacuum sense lines (9 & 10) connect the spring chamber breather port and the pilot valve exhaust port to the main valve total pressure pickup as shown.

Atmospheric pressure is applied under the boost and sense diaphragms and in the upper dome (B)through the breather port (3). Below set vacuum, the spring force is greater than the lift created by tank vacuum above the sense diaphragm (7) so both the pilot valve and the main valve will remain closed.

At set vacuum, the pilot valve opens and the upper dome is reduced to tank vacuum. The diaphragm is attached by a second actuator support plate (8) for vacuum operated valves. Main valve internal pressure under the actuator diaphragm (1) opens the main valve. The valve remains open and flowing until the system reaches the pilot valve reseat pressure.

Note: Backflow pressure relief prevention is provided for pilot operated vacuum relief valves in case positive system pressure can occur. A bypass line with a check valve is used to apply pressure to the upper dome. Another check valve prevents pressure discharge from the pilot vent.

MODES OF FAILURE

A pilot operated pressure relief valve uses tank pressure acting on the actuator diaphragm to hold the valve closed, while tank pressure acting on the pallet attempts to force it open. The pilot directs tank pressure into the valve actuator below set pressure and atmospheric pressure into the actuator above set pressure.

If any part of the pilot operated system fails, the valve actuator pressure will be vented and tank pressure on the pallet will force the valve open, for example:

• If the actuator diaphragm fails, the actuator will be vented to the valve outlet.

• If the pilot valve diaphragm fails, actuator pressure will be vented to atmosphere through the failed diaphragm.

• If a pilot valve component (spring, seat/seal, etc.) fails which prevents the pilot from holding tank pressure, the actuator will be vented to atmosphere.

Therefore, the mode of failure is “fail open.”

A pilot operated vacuum relief valve uses tank vacuum acting on the actuator diaphragm to force the valve open, while tank vacuum acting on the pallet attempts to hold it closed. The pilot valve directs atmospheric pressure into the valve actuator below set pressure and tank vacuum into the actuator above set pressure.

If a pilot valve component (spring, seat/seal, etc.) fails which allows the pilot to supply tank vacuum to the actuator, the valve will open prematurely.

However, if a part of the system fails which prevents the supply of tank vacuum to the valve actuator above set pressure, tank vacuum acting on the pallet will hold the valve closed indefinitely, for example:

• If the actuator diaphragm fails, the actuator will be vented to the valve outlet.

• If the pilot valve diaphragm fails, the pilot valve will not open, and will continue to direct atmospheric pressure to the actuator above set pressure.

Therefore, the mode of failure may be “fail closed.”

OPTIONS

The following options are frequently utilized to reduce vapor emissions, improve serviceability, or expand the capabilities of a pilot operated relief valve.

Pilot Exhaust Piped To Discharge Header

The exhaust port of the pilot valve may be piped to the outlet body to avoid any vapor emission to the atmosphere.

Field Test Connection

A 1/2" FNPT Connection and 3-way valve is provided for field testing the pilot valve pressure setting. This is accomplished with an independent pressure source; the 3-way valve prevents back flow into the tank during testing.

Note: Field test connection shown is for a pressure relief valve. Field test connections for vacuum and pressure/vacuum relief are also available.

Manual Blowdown

A manually controlled block valve is provided to allow the upper dome pressure to be bled to atmosphere or a process vapor discharge system. If the tank is pressurized, releasing the dome pressure will open the main valve. An electric solenoid valve can be provided for remote blowdown control.

Conical Film Seat

To provide maximum tight shut-off “Conical Film Seat” is available with Groth pilot operated valves. This unique design will avoid fugitive emissions.

OPTIONS

Remote Sense

Normally pilot operated relief valves have a total pressure pickup in the main valve inlet. For applications where inlet piping losses are significant, a remote sense connection will assure that the main valve will open fully at the specified pressure regardless of inlet piping pressure loss. Note that the valve sizing must take into account the reduced flow because of the inlet pressure drop. Remote sense is recommended for applications that have entrained particulates (tubing/fittings provided by others).

Pilot Supply Filter

A 1/2" FNPT Connection, block valve, and An auxiliary filter for the pilot supply line is recommended for services with an unusual amount of foreign particulates. The standard filter is equipped with a 35 micron stainless steel screen that can be easily cleaned.

1400 SERIES PILOT OPERATED RELIEF VALVE

The Groth 1400 Series valves provide safe, dependable, and accurate low pressure and/ or vacuum protection. Seals in accordance with API 2000 requirements for Pilot Operated Relief Valves. This design prevents fugitive emissions and conserves stored product. Rated flow at less than 10% overpressure provides the ability to operate closer to the tank MAWP, increasing the operating range of the process. This reduces the need for a large overpressure and saves product, which translates into profit. Flexibility in snap or modulating action allows product customization to specific application requirements. Blowdown may be adjusted to requirements between 0 and 10% of set pressure. The Models 1400 and 1420 incorporate a vacuum breaker.

• 150# ANSI, PN10, PN16, JIS drilling classes available

• Pilot exhaust piped to discharge header

• Field test connection

• Manual blow down

• Remote or manual blowdown available.

EXTRA TIGHT SEAL

FULL FLOW

SNAP-ACTION OR MODULATING ACTION

• Main valve remains tight to set pressure.

• Full open at 10% overpressure.

• Modulating action conserves product since valve opening is proportional to overpressure.

• Noise is reduced since the valve only opens fully when required.

SOFT SEATED
