PRESSURE REDUCING VALVE (PRV) A Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is a critical component in fluid systems that ensures the downstream pressure remains at a set level, no matter the fluctuation of the incoming pressure. PRVs are used in various industries. A. Function of Pressure Reducing Valves: The primary function of a PRV is to reduce high inlet pressure to a lower, manageable pressure to protect sensitive equipment and maintain efficiency. This ensures that downstream systems, pipes, pumps, and other components do not experience damage from excessive pressure. It is especially crucial in systems where pressure must be kept within a certain range to ensure safety, system performance, and energy efficiency. B. Working of Pressure Reducing Valves: The PRV operates based on the principle of controlling fluid flow. The inlet pressure pushes against the valve’s diaphragm or piston, which in turn adjusts the valve opening. This adjustment allows the fluid to flow through t...
