Blow-off Valve
General description
Basic requirements for the design and
use of blow-off valves are established by
the ASME Power Boiler Code, Section
1. The general form of a valve, the
materials of its construction, allowable
boiler pressures, and the installation of
the valve are all determined by the code.
Yarway blow-off valves are designed in
conformance with all code
requirements1.
Because the primary purpose of a blow-
off valve is removal of dirt, sediment and
scale, the boiler code requires that
valves which have dams or pockets in
which sediment can accumulate cannot
be used in blow-off service. This means
that ordinary globe valves cannot be
used as blow-off valves.
Yarway valves are especially designed
for the punishment of blow-off service
in boiler systems with pressures of
3,206 psig.
The rugged construction of these valves
can successfully withstand the
combination of problems inherent in the
service - a service in which high
pressures result in high velocities which
can cause wire drawing and cavitation of
metal surfaces.
The valves must also withstand the
corrosive environment created by acid
cleaning of boilers, and the potential
wear problems caused by precipitated
solids.
The valves are also helpful in Features and Benefits Unit Tandem Valves
