Safety valves independent of back pressure, spring-loaded.
SVU Safety Overflow Valves
AWP’s SVU safety valves are designed for installation in the refrigerant cycles of industrial refrigeration systems. By default safety valves are meant for protecting refrigeration systems and their components from excess pressure (see also DIN 8975 part 7). They comply with the technical regulations of the German Technical Control Board (TÜV) and with AD2000 regulations. Once the set response pressure is reached AWP safety valves begin to open. They open within a 10 % pressure increase until the designed limit of the lift is reached. When the pressure drops again they start closing once the set response pressure is reached. They are completely closed within a pressure drop of 10 % below the set reponse pressure. These valves work independently of back pressure.
