Abstract
Description
1 TARIFF SELF-CLEANING PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (PRV) Technical Field to Which the Invention Relates The invention relates to pressure relief valves (PRVs). Specifically, to closed-circuit pressurized fluid flows. In the systems where it is transported, with the innovation in membrane (6) design, it prevents dirt accumulation and leaks. It has been developed for self-cleaning pressure relief valves that prevent blockage. State of the Art Pressure relief valves release excess pressure when the fluid pressure in the system reaches a certain threshold. It is designed to drain and protect the system. Valves; handwheel (1), cover (2), spring (3), 10 from membrane holder (4), membrane bucket (5), membrane (6), housing (7), and O-ring (8) parts It consists of. In a closed-loop system, the liquid or gas pressure exceeds a defined safety limit. When the pressure exceeds the pressure inside the liquid body (7) in the system, the pressure relief valve activates. It is directed towards the line. The membrane (6) senses the fluid pressure in the system. The pressure exceeds a certain threshold. When it exceeds the limit, the membrane (6) moves upwards. This movement causes the membrane holder (4) and cover 15 (2) is supported by. Thus, the drain channel is opened and excess liquid is expelled. Drainage process Once completed, the membrane returns to its original position, restoring its seal with the body. It provides an additional seal with the O-ring (8) used here. System pressure When it returns to normal, the valve closes automatically. This prevents energy and fluid loss in the system. This is prevented. In conventional pressure relief valves, depending on how the valve is connected, 20 Due to the skirt design on the membrane (6) in the direction the liquid passes, the dirt accumulates, discharges. subsequently, this prevents the membrane (6) from closing properly, leading to jamming and blockages. This leads to fluid leaks in the discharge area and damages the system. This negatively affects its performance. Furthermore, dirt accumulation over time in the drain pipe casing... (7) by causing damage, it reduces the efficiency of the system and creates the need for frequent maintenance. 25 This results in additional time and cost burdens for valve cleaning and maintenance processes. It brings. Purpose of the Invention This invention has a skirtless membrane (6) design, which prevents dirt from being removed during discharge. It prevents adhesion and dirt accumulation. This innovative design prevents liquid leaks by 30 By eliminating this, it improves the valve's performance. The valve is independent of the mounting orientation. Thanks to its connection, the membrane (6) can cover the body without any problems and Leak-proof operation is guaranteed. Furthermore, maintenance requirements are reduced. A longer-lasting and more efficient structure is offered. Summary Description of the Invention 35 This invention improves the operational performance of closed-loop systems containing pressurized fluids. It is an innovative pressure relief valve design developed for this purpose. Unlike traditional valves... The hem sections of the membrane (6) can lead to the accumulation of dirt during discharge and subsequent leaks. In this invention, the membrane design is restructured, completely eliminating the skirt sections. This has been removed. This prevents the accumulation of dirt during drainage and reduces the likelihood of leaks in the system. This has been prevented. The innovative membrane design ensures the discharge area remains clean in all directions. 2 By doing so, it reduces the valve's maintenance requirements and extends its service life. Environmentally friendly. This design, manufactured with thermoplastic materials, is a closed-loop system containing pressurized fluid. This increases stability in systems and benefits users in every sector where these types of membranes are used. It offers a user-friendly solution. Detailed Description of the Invention 5 The invention improves the membrane design used in pressure relief valves by reducing dirt accumulation. It offers an innovative structure that blocks and prevents fluid leaks. In traditional valves, The skirt sections of the membrane (6) lead to dirt accumulation and leaks during discharge. This In the invention, the skirt portions of the membrane (6) are completely removed, and a clean and 10-inch drain canal is created along the drain channel. A continuous flow of fluid has been ensured.

This direct connection is designed to prevent dirt accumulation on the lower surface of the membrane (6), 3 It prevents blockages and performance degradation that may occur during drainage. Additionally, The sealing zone, which is squeezed between the body and the cover on the outermost part of the membrane (6), It fits snugly inside the casing and prevents leakage of the fluid during drainage. This innovative design ensures effective operation regardless of the orientation in which the valve is mounted. It enables it to work in this way. Lifting the skirt parts on the membrane (6), discharge 5 By completely eliminating dirt accumulation in the area, it reduces the system's maintenance requirements. and extends its lifespan. Consequently, operational stability is also increased. The invention can be manufactured using environmentally friendly thermoplastic materials, and these types of membranes...
