High Efficiency Pilot-Operated Safety Valve

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on LESER's Pilot Operated Safety Valves (POSVs), specifically Series 810 – Pop Action and Series 820 – Modulate Action. These valves are designed according to API 526 standards and are used in various industrial applications to ensure safety by controlling pressure levels.
Specifications: Both Series 810 and 820 cover sizes from 1" x 2" to 8" x 10" (DN 25 – DN 200) and are suitable for pressure ratings up to class 600 x 150. They feature API Standard Orifices and Extra Orifices for maximum capacity, constructed from stainless steel, and certified for air, gas, steam, and liquid services.
Series 810 – Pop Action: Characterized by rapid opening, suitable for gas applications requiring quick discharge capacity. It features an adjustable blowdown of 2 – 7% of set pressure, extendable beyond API standards.
Series 820 – Modulate Action: Opens proportionally to system overpressure, minimizing medium loss and reducing emissions, suitable for applications where the medium must not discharge to the atmosphere.
Approvals and Standards: LESER POSVs comply with international standards including ASME Section VIII, CE marking, and VdTUEV approval, designed to meet regulations such as ASME PTC 25 and API Std. 527.
Applications: Suitable for high back pressure applications, set pressure independence of back pressure, high inlet pressure losses, and increased tightness requirements, effective in environments with high back pressure ratios.
Design Features: Valves integrate tubing into the top plate to reduce damage risk and resist vibration, include a backflow preventer, and are manufactured with stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The modular system allows easy upgrades and conversions between Pop Action and Modulate Action.
Customer Service and Support: LESER offers seminars, a comprehensive product range, and a test lab certified by TÜV and ASME, providing global support through various international offices.
Product Description: Detailed description of LESER's POSVs, designed for high operating pressures, suitable for various industrial applications including gas main systems, oil and gas industries, and systems with positive displacement pumps.
Sour Gas Applications: Compliant with NACE standards for sour gas (H2S) service, specifying material requirements to resist sulfide stress cracking, with necessary material changes such as using Inconel® for certain springs.
Seat Designs: Availability of API Standard Orifices and Extra Orifices, allowing flexibility in valve sizing and capacity, with Extra Orifices providing at least 25% more capacity than specified in API 526.
Components: Standard configuration includes the main valve, pilot valve, tubing, and a manifold block with an integrated backflow preventer.
Accessories: Various accessories available including manual blowdown options, field test connectors, pilot supply filters, and remote sensing capabilities.
Operating Cycle: Describes the basic operation of the POSVs, controlled by the process medium, with system pressure applied to the pilot valve controlling the main valve through the dome above the piston.
Materials: Lists materials used in the construction of both Series 810 and 820 valves, highlighting the use of stainless steel and PTFE components for durability and performance.
Flange Connections: Specifies types of flanges and their dimensions for different flange classes, including tables with bolt sizes and dimensions for both inlet and outlet connections.
Capacities: Provides capacity data for steam and air, measured in kg/h and mn³/h, respectively, calculated based on set pressure plus 10% overpressure.
Standards and Calculations: References API 526 and AD 2000-Merkblatt A2 standards for orifice sizes and capacity calculations, including detailed tables with capacities for different pressures and orifice sizes.
Recommendations: Ensure compliance with specified standards for accurate capacity calculations and refer to specific pages for LESER Effective Orifice liquids and steam/gas data.
Operating Concepts: Divides LESER valves into Pilot Operated Safety Valves (POSVs), Supplementary Loading Systems (SLS), and Spring Loaded Safety Valves (SLSV), each with distinct operating principles.
Performance Characteristics: Describes performance characteristics including opening and closing behaviors, blowdown percentages, and back pressure ratios, highlighting the efficiency and reliability of the High Efficiency product group.
Installation and Costs: Provides information on installation costs and design features, noting advantages of smaller valve sizes in terms of cost and weight, and discusses exchangeability and retrofitting options.
Additional Services: LESER provides a sizing program called VALVESTAR® for safety valves, supporting worldwide codes and standards, and offers seminars on safety valves, repair and maintenance, and the VALVESTAR® program.

High Efficiency Pilot-Operated Safety Valve-10

Applications – Functional Areas Across applications, there are four main functional requirements covered by the LESER Pilot Operated Safety Valve (POSV). High Back Pressure Applications • LESER POSVs can be operated in applications with a back pressure ratio (i.e. a ratio of back pressure / set pressure) of up to 70%. Spring loaded safety valves can be typically used up to 50% of back pressure. • The absolute maximum back pressure is determined by the pressure class of the main valve outlet. Typically, LESER POSVs can be used for much higher back pressures than spring loaded safety valves. Applications...

High Efficiency Pilot-Operated Safety Valve-11

Product Description LWN 487.71-E 01/06 Applications – Examples Compressors in Gas Main Systems Pressure relief devices in these applications must allow for high operating pressures in relation to set pressure, which are required for efficient gas transport. Additionally, compressor vibrations put through requirements on the tightness of the safety valve. LESER Series 810 and 820 POSVs offer an ideal solution for these conditions because: • they enable highest possible operating pressure to set pressure ratios facilitating maximum energy density of transport medium • they are not susceptible to...
