Where is the Exhaust Pressure Reducing Valve Located?
1 Answers
The exhaust pressure reducing valve is installed behind the filter following the first shut-off valve where the external network enters. It should be mounted on a horizontal pipeline. If the valve comes with its own pressure gauge, pressure gauges should also be installed on the pipeline both before and after the valve. Before installing the reducing valve: Prior to installation, check whether the nameplate and certification match the required valve model and operating conditions, and inspect for any severe external damage. Thoroughly flush the pipeline and the reducing valve. If the reducing valve has been stored for an extended period, ensure the interior of the valve body is thoroughly cleaned. Preventing overpressure downstream of the valve: To prevent accidents caused by overpressure downstream of the valve, a safety relief valve should be installed approximately 4 meters from the outlet end of the reducing valve as a precautionary measure.
