Pressure Relief Safety Valve

A safety relief valve is a crucial component in preventing potential disasters caused by the buildup of pressure in machines and equipment. Specifically, the BICERA Pressure Relief Safety Valve is a proven integrated safety solution that is designed to quickly relieve pressure, reducing the risk of an explosion in the crankcase of an engine. While it cannot completely eliminate the possibility of an explosion, the safety relief valve is an essential measure that minimizes the risk by preventing pressure from reaching dangerous levels. In summary, a safety relief valve is a vital safety measure that can help prevent catastrophic accidents in various settings.

A safety pressure relief valve is designed to protect equipment by releasing excess pressure when the pressure reaches a pre-determined level. The valve is set to open at a certain pressure point, and when the pressure reaches that point, the valve will open to release the excess pressure and extinguish any flames. BICERA's Legacy safety relief valves include an oil-wetted flame trap to prevent the propagation of flames outside the crankcase in case of an engine explosion. The BICERA Sigma valves use a patented external flame trap to extinguish any flames that try to pass through it, thus preventing the spread of flames outside the crankcase. Additionally, certain models of BICERA valves, with doghouse risers, offer increased valve clearance to prevent the flame arrestor from interfering with the piston rods in the crankcase. This design feature ensures that the valves function optimally and provide the necessary protection for the equipment in potentially hazardous situations. Overall, safety pressure relief valves are a crucial component in protecting equipment and ensuring safe operation.

Industrial engines have pressure relief safety valves. You’ll find one valve for every cylinder. BICERA pressure relief valves are smaller, so there is more space on the engine.
