How does a Boiler Safety Valve Work? - SteamWorks

Safety valves are notably one of the most important components on a steam boiler. While the boiler is loaded with safety features, most of which have complete redundancy. The boilers' safety relief valve is the last line of defense in the event of an overpressurization. The safety valve, sometimes referred to as a relief valve is installed on the vessel and will automatically open when the pressure on the inlet side of the boiler becomes higher than the preset pressure of the valve itself. Understanding the design and features of a safety valve is important for operators and plant managers, and today on SteamWorks that is exactly what we are doing, taking an up-close look at steam boiler safety valves.
