The pressure relief valve is a type of valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system or vessel which can build up by a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, or fire.The pressure is relieved by allowing the pressurized fluid to flow from an auxiliary passage out of the system.ressure Relief Valves. Pressure Relief Valves protect against excessive pressure in pump stations, distribution systems, and transmission mains by opening when the inlet pressure exceeds a preset value and discharges high pressure water to waste pump suction or a zone of lower pressure.
Temperature/pressure-relief or TPR valves are safety devices installed on water heating appliances, such as boilers and domestic water supply heaters. TPRs are designed to automatically release water in the event that pressure or temperature in the water tank exceeds safe levels.he valve should be connected to a discharge pipe (also called a drain line) that runs down the length of the water heater tank. This pipe is responsible for routing hot water released from the TPR to a proper discharge location.
