Temperature Relief Valve Vs Pressure Relief Valve

What is Temperature Relief Valve?

A Temperature Relief Valve is a safety device designed to open, release pressurized substances and regulate temperature in a system. It works by relieving excess pressure or heat when the static pressure reaches a preset value. This type of valve has wide applications in industry, power plants and even household boilers where it is used to protect equipment from damage due to overpressure or overheating.

What is Pressure Relief Valve?

A Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) is a safety device designed to protect pressurized systems or components from over-pressurization. It typically consists of a valve, spring mechanism, and seat together with an inlet and outlet port. The valve opens when the pressure reaches a predetermined set point allowing excess fluid or gas to be released, thus relieving the system pressure.
