Safety valves

Alfa Laval safety valves maintain optimal operating conditions in hygienic applications due to overpressure, vacuum or unacceptable fluid levels. Minimizing the risk of explosion and implosion by relieving excess pressure or liquid levels from pipelines, vessels or equipment protects hygienic processing systems across the dairy, food and beverage, and brewery industries. This translates into higher levels of safety, less downtime and higher yields.

How does a safety valve work?

A safety valve is an essential device used to protect tanks and systems by relieving excess pressure or preventing vacuum conditions. Alfa Laval safety valve options include various types of safety valve designs, delivered with counterweights or spring sets and locked at pre-set opening pressures or vacuums to match customer requirements or tank design data. When the pressure or vacuum in the tank exceeds the pre-set opening value, the safety valve function is to relieve the excess pressure or allow atmospheric air in, ensuring safe operation. If you’re wondering what is safety valve, it’s a key component for maintaining safety and reliability in industrial applications.
