reduction
Use of reducing valves:
Water systems: Pressure relief valves are often used in homes and buildings to reduce the pressure of potable water from the public water supply to a suitable level for domestic use.
Gas systems: In gas systems, pressure relief valves are important for pressure regulation during gas transportation and distribution.
Steam Systems: In industrial steam systems, pressure relief valves are used to maintain the correct steam pressure for various processes.
Ventilation and air conditioning: In air conditioning and ventilation systems, pressure reducing valves can be used to regulate air pressure.
Different types of pressure reducing valves:
Gas Reducing Valves: These valves are used to regulate the pressure of gas such as natural gas or propane-butane.
Water Pressure Reducing Valves: These valves are used in domestic and industrial applications to regulate the pressure of potable water or other liquids.
Steam reducing valves: Used to regulate steam pressure in large industrial steam systems.
Hydraulic pressure relief valves: Used to control pressure in hydraulic systems.
Each type of pressure reducing valve is designed to meet the specific requirements of a given application. Their selection depends on the type of medium to be regulated and the required accuracy and method of pressure regulation.
