How the pressure relief valve works

The pressure reducing valve is a valve that reduces the inlet pressure to a certain required outlet pressure by adjusting it, and relies on the energy of the medium itself to automatically maintain a stable outlet pressure. From the point of view of fluid mechanics, the pressure reducing valve is a throttling element whose local resistance can change, that is, by changing the throttling area, the flow rate and the kinetic energy of the fluid are changed, resulting in different pressure losses, so as to achieve the purpose of pressure reduction. Then, relying on the adjustment of the control and regulation system, the fluctuation of the pressure behind the valve is balanced with the spring force, so that the pressure behind the valve is kept constant within a certain error range.
